DRC Mining Week 2026: Everything Is Ready for Lubumbashi’s Major Mining Event
The countdown has begun. Just days before the opening of DRC Mining Week 2026, preparations are in full swing at the Pullman Lubumbashi Grand Karavia, which will host one of Africa’s largest mining events from June 17 to 19.
The latest images shared by organizers show a venue undergoing a remarkable transformation. Tents are being erected, exhibition stands are taking shape, and display areas are being prepared to welcome hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of visitors. All indicators suggest that Lubumbashi is ready to host this flagship event for the extractive industry.
More Than 300 Exhibitors Expected
This year’s edition will bring together more than 300 international exhibitors, investors, mining operators, technology providers, financial institutions, and government representatives.
Over three days, participants will discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the Congolese mining sector at a time of growing global demand for copper, cobalt, and other strategic minerals.
Key discussions will focus on investment, energy, infrastructure, local value creation, and the future of the mining industry in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Mining & Business Magazine Fully Mobilized
A media partner of DRC Mining Week for nearly two decades, Mining & Business Magazine will once again play a central role in covering the event.
From the final preparations to the closing ceremony, the magazine’s teams will follow conferences, business meetings, major announcements, and innovations shaping the mining industry.
Through interviews, reports, analyses, and exclusive content, Mining & Business aims to provide readers with comprehensive coverage of this strategic event for the DRC and Africa.
