Mining continues to engage with the many difficult issues that affect the future of the industry and broader society, judging by the topics and turn-out at this year's Investing in African Mining Indaba in Cape Town.
"The event remains a forum for productive, if challenging, conversations", said SRK Consulting (South Africa) managing director Andrew van Zyl. "Many of these issues - from climate change and decarbonisation to the just energy transition - can be controversial; what is important, though, is that all stakeholders feel that they can participate in robust dialogue to find sustainable solutions."
Van Zyl acknowledged that many of the sector's responses to the challenges of today and tomorrow were "works in progress" but emphasised how constructively it had adapted in recent decades. SRK Consulting, celebrating its 50th year in 2024, was proud to have contributed to this progress, he said.
