Luanda, Angola — The Ministry of Mineral Resources, Petroleum and Gas (MIREMPET), in collaboration with its longstanding partner Bumbar Mining, proudly announces the Angolan International Mining Conference (AIMC) 2025, scheduled for October 22-23, 2025, in Luanda. Since its inception in 2022, the AIMC has rapidly established itself as a pivotal regional event for the global mining industry, bringing together major players, policymakers, and investors dedicated to the sustainable development of Angola’s vast mineral resources.
A growing regional mainstay
The Angolan Mining Conference was launched to position Angola as a leading force in the global mining landscape. Its strategic focus is to catalyse project capitalisation, facilitate transactions, and foster socio-economic progress, reinforcing Angola’s vital role in Africa’s mineral industry.
Since its launch, the AIMC goal is to become a regional mainstay, attracting industry giants and fostering meaningful collaborations that drive Angola’s mining sector forward.
This momentum reflects Angola’s emerging status as a key player, offering vast opportunities for mining, infrastructure development, and economic growth, positioning the country as a significant investment destination.
Strategic objectives aligned with the growth of the industry
The AIMC 2025 aims to serve as a catalyst for international participation, project financing, and investment promotion. It underscores the importance of foreign direct investment (FDI) as a key driver for equitable economic growth, emphasising the development of bankable projects and risk-adjusted business environments.
Under the current government’s dynamic leadership, Angola is witnessing a notable increase in inward capital flows into the mining sector. This is largely driven by bold policy reforms, improved governance, transparency, and policy predictability—factors that foster a favorable investment climate and pave the way for private sector-led growth.
Angola’s commitment to reform and transparency is opening new doors for investment, fueling private sector growth, and transforming the country into a regional mining hub.
Strategic partnerships that can move the needle
The conference benefits from the support and partnership of numerous leading organisations, including:
- Ministry of Mineral Resources, Petroleum and Gas (MIREMPET)
- Bumbar Mining
- Sankofa Group
- VUKA Group
- Geological Institute of Angola
- Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI)
- Critical Mineral Association
- National Agency for Mineral Resources (ANRM)
These organisations play pivotal roles in shaping the conference agenda, highlighting Angola’s mineral assets, promoting transparency, and fostering sustainable industry practices.
The collective aim is to foster an ecosystem that promotes transparency, responsible mining, and sustainable economic growth. By pooling resources and expertise, the goal is to position Angola as a prime investment destination for mining operations and infrastructural development.
Focused Business Opportunities
Unlike traditional conferences, AIMC prioritises tangible business outcomes. Attendees can expect targeted sessions and direct interactions designed to offer real insights into Angola’s mining environment. The program emphasises understanding the regulatory landscape, project development opportunities, and strategic partnerships.
“Too often, conferences focus on talk,” commented Paul Sinclair, CEO of Sankofa. “Our approach is different—we deliver sessions and networking opportunities that enable attendees to understand Angola’s mining policies, meet project owners, and explore truly bankable investments in greenfield and brownfield mines, infrastructure, and exploration projects that cannot be found elsewhere.”
The AIMC 2025 will draw over 500 international and Angolan participants, including:
- Mining operators and project owners
- Infrastructure contractors
- Corporate investors
- Private equity and asset managers
- Investment banks and sovereign wealth funds
- Hedge funds and venture capitalists
- Institutional investors and multilateral banks
- Family offices, high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), and private investors
This diverse assembly provides unparalleled opportunities for networking and deal-making. Attendees will have the chance to engage with CEOs, mine managers, chief operating officers, procurement specialists, and government officials, fostering partnerships aimed at unlocking Angola’s mineral potential.
