Paris, France
The meeting place for Africa’s mining community to connect and develop international partnerships
EBCAM is delighted to announce its partnership in the 8th edition of the Mining on Top Africa event (MOTA) set to return to Paris, France from the 2 – 3 July 2025 at the Meliá Paris La Défense.
The mining industry is evolving to encompass the global shift for zero carbon emissions, sustainable practices and advancements in technology. Africa’s mining industry with approximately 40% of the world’s total mining reserves, needs to align and progress across the full mining value chain to become the mining hub of the future. This means embracing the evolution of mining, incorporating sustainability, technology, and partnerships for valuable mining practices.
Africa is looking to mobilise the funding it needs to provide comprehensive data on mineral wealth, ensure local production and processing to global market players. During the 2025 event, discussions will revolve around how investors can be reassured, and their capital safeguarded, even in the event of a political crisis; What needs to be implemented between Europe and Africa to foster mutually beneficial mining cooperation, through various approaches including production and technology sharing, plus, increasing access to relevant geodata and implementing mining cadastres for transparency, increased investment and for a clear vision of mineral and metal exploration and mining potential amongst others.
The industry driven event will also consider how Africa can meet the requirements of global mandates and supply needs while supporting and growing economies.
