Building MENA into a competitive mining hub

MENA Mining Congress 2009 is firmly established as the premier strategic event for the region’s mining industry attracting key government representatives and mining executives putting the region on the global mining map.

Mines and investors come to unearth untapped investment opportunities

MENA has the potential to be the emerging market of international mining. The impact of the ‘great recession’ has seen commodity prices (gold excluded) plummet temporarily to new lows that perhaps only a resurrection of Chinese demand can rectify. With the help of experts, analysts and economists, MENA Mining will seek to map the new role of China, where MENA sits on the global mining radar and attempt to forecast the supply/demand outlook for key commodities; Gold, Copper and Phosphate in 2010.

In this volatile new world, majors, mid-tiers and juniors are desperately trying to access new avenues of funding for Greenfield projects and to refinance their existing loans. MENA Mining will identify the emerging investment opportunities for juniors and mid-tiers all over the MENA region that lie untapped.

Eight reasons why you should be at the Middle East’s annual meeting place for the mining industry:

A proven track record
Following the tremendous success of the event in 2008, MENA Mining is already firmly established as the top strategic mining forum in the region.

The only event with a site visit to one of the region’s largest projects
Get an in-side look at what the public has yet to see. Go behind-the-scenes of the construction of one of Ma’aden’s largest phosphate plants.

A strategic location
A perfect strategic location between East and West with largely untapped natural mineral resources and an overhaul of archaic mining investment laws makes MENA the mining industry’s sleeping giant.

Build relationships with regional and international decision-makers
Key authorities, mining companies, consultants, architect, engineers, investors and financiers steering the MENA mining industry make this event their annual meeting point. Come and build relationships with them.

Network with regional governments committed to mining project development
Mingle with the decision-makers responsible for handing out licenses and approving investment from internationals. Meet them and understand the process of winning business in MENA mining.

Tackle the burning issues
Address and debate the topics and issues crucial to the continual growth and development of the region’s mining industry. Discover innovative capital raising, financing and strategic partnership options.

Gain insight from the Middle East’s leading mine operators
Hear from representatives of Ministry of Petroleum and Mines, Egypt, Ministry of Petroleum and Mines, Syria, Citadel Resource Group, Centamin Egypt and many more.

Explore Middle Eastern mining partnership opportunities
Discuss and outline how the MENA mining sector and inter-regional mining authorities can work together to promote world-standard mining infrastructure, and a unified strategy for attracting foreign investment.
