What people had to say about last year's Mining Indaba

A lot of the key players converge on Cape Town for this Mining Indaba - what’s really happening behind the scenes is quite impressive. I went for an interview at the De Beers set of boardrooms in one of the Cape Town hotels today, and they had a notice board up with a schedule of the people who were coming in to see De Beers executives - that’s just one company. If you take that across the whole spectrum of big and small companies meeting in Cape Town - there’s a lot of business going on.

John Fraser, Business Day

The event has become a must-attend convention for those doing business in Africa, and probably for the corporate mining sector - major, mid-tier and junior…Mining Indaba is definitely one of the world's top mining events, and, undoubtedly, most of this year's participants will be back again next unless there is a seemingly unlikely drastic collapse in commodity prices in the interim.

Lawrence Williams, MineWeb

The Mining Indaba in Cape Town has achieved success surpassing industry expectations, a new report notes. Despite high-profile speakers, it is claimed that networking may be the real draw of the event.

The number of attendees at the conference, held near the iconic Victoria & Albert’s waterfront, was a record, with most companies Mining Weekly Online spoke to labeling the event a success. On the first day, Monday, the afternoon session on commodity outlooks was packed to the brim.
