Mining On Top: Africa 2014 - London Summit 2014
Tuesday, June 24, 2014 to Thursday, June 26, 2014
London, United Kingdom

In partnership with the Commonwealth Business Council and UK Trade & Investment, Mining On Top: Africa – London Summit; Sharing the benefits of the commodity boom – will bring together key government officials, senior mining representatives, investors and service providers to create a greater understanding and improve the social and economic outcomes of African mining.
Although Africa is still the continent with the lowest per capita gross domestic product, its nations include many of the world’s fastest growing economies. In the first decade of this century, all ten of the fastest growing economies in the world were in Africa, and African foreign direct investment rose five-fold between 2001 and 2010. Indeed, Africa has seen sustained growth since 2000, with the boom being largely commodity driven.

Collaboration is required to ensure that Africa’s abundant mineral wealth is developed to the benefit of all. The London Summit again all constituents to African mining together to promote understanding, and to grapple with the realities of how this can be achieved.
