The African mining sector is undergoing unprecendented changes with the rise in commodity prices. Reformations in the mining policies and codes to attract investment and integration of technological innovations within the daily to reduce costs and achieve sustainable goals. These factors cumulatively have led to investment opportunities in several African countries where investors can benefit from low operational costs, untapped resources and a business favourable tax regime (tax deductible costs and losses).
Keeping this in mind, MOTA 2018 will be dedicated to connecting African governments to European mining companies and financial investors will be focussing on strengthening relations between all stakeholders, generating long-term value and in identifying the most promising commodities. The theme of MOTA 2018 is: “Europe as a partner for African mining.”
