“All key stakeholders, including the World Bank, have been invited and we expect 150 exhibitors,” he said.

“The conference will bring together government and all stakeholders in the mining sector as we seek to craft a harmonised and strategic approach policy in the mining sector.”

Mangisi said the symposium sought to bridge the gap between small-scale and large-scale miners, particularly in the area of mining equipment.

Mines and Mining Development Walter Chidhakwa will be the guest of honour at the conference running under the theme “Revolutionarising the Mining Sector”.

The Junior Miners’ Chamber will be launched at the event.
