Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF) the largest body which represents Artisanal and Small Scale Miners (ASM), the Chamber of Mines Zimbabwe (CoMZ) the body which represents medium to large-scale miners and the Minerals Marketing Corporation of Zimbabwe (MMCZ) will accompany the Minister to the internationally acclaimed event.
Hon Winston Chitando will give a speech at the conference on Thursday at 11:00 am.
ADU will be held from 31 August – 2 September at the Pan Pacific, Perth. The conference will proceed in its traditional format in Perth with live presentations, face-to-face meetings and networking.
ADU is the leading forum for Australian-African business and government relations and was first launched to raise awareness of Australia’s interests in African mining and energy. The three-day meeting has evolved to become the largest African-focused mining event held outside the continent itself which is reflected by the number of high-profile participants who attend each year.
Since its inaugural conference in 2003, ADU has showcased many success stories about Australian companies and organisations working across Africa.
In addition to creating a melting pot for pro-Africa-Australia relations, ADU forms the principal pillar of “Africa Week”, Australia’s week-long celebration of the strong and growing business, social and cultural ties between Australia and the entire African continent. “Africa Week” comprises a full week of satellite events on research, education, infrastructure, sustainable development, capacity building, energy, movies and the arts.
