The announcement was made by Chamber of Mines CEO Isaac Kwesu during a media briefing ahead of the event’s opening. The main conference, scheduled for Friday, will serve as a critical policy platform, bringing together key Cabinet ministers and policymakers to provide strategic direction for the mining value chain.
“This main conference will provide an opportunity for key Cabinet ministers, as well as other policymakers, to give policy direction that enhances the value chain,” Kwesu said.
The event is expected to attract more than 500 high-level delegates, who will participate in various symposiums covering the entire mining value chain, from exploration to beneficiation. Among the Cabinet ministers expected to address the gathering are the Minister of Mines, the Minister of Industry and Commerce, and the Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Development.
President Mnangagwa’s official opening will set the tone for discussions centred on the theme, “Unearth, Transform, Prosper: Anchoring Economic Transformation Through Mining Value Chains.” The conference aims to strengthen linkages between the mining industry and other sectors, ultimately enhancing the mining multiplier effect for Zimbabwe’s economic development.
