Australian Mining in Africa Reception Event - 9 February 2026
Date: 6 February 2026
On 9 February, the Australian Government hosted the third Australian Mining in Africa event to promote and celebrate Australia’s contribution to African mining.
Sponsored by PayDirt Media, Sandfire Resources, Worley, Theta Gold Mines and the Australian Business Chamber of Commerce (Southern Africa), mining ministers from Angola, Ghana and Kenya delivered keynote addresses promoting their countries’ investment credentials. Ministers from Lesotho, Namibia and Somalia were also present.
Their keynote addresses reiterate the potential across Africa in the resources sector and the importance of Australia’s knowledge and expertise to unlock this potential.
A record 270 guests attended (30 per cent increase on 2025), including high-level government delegations from Africa and the US, and many Australian companies (e.g. BHP, Rio Tinto, Perenti and Worley).
EngineerConnect Johannesburg Event - 6 February 2026
Date: 6 February 2026
On 6 February, we joined EIT Johannesburg at their EngineerConnect session—a fantastic gathering of engineering professionals and future engineers! The event focused on practical skills in energy, automation, and infrastructure that are shaping South Africa’s engineering future. Representing ABCSA, our Deputy Chairperson, Yvonne Lekalakala, shared her insights on the wide range of opportunities an engineering qualification offers young graduates and trainees.
Thank you to EIT Johannesburg for hosting such an inspiring event and for driving conversations that matter to the future of engineering in South Africa.
AAMEG/ABCSA - Johannesburg Connections & Canapes Event - 4 February 2026
Date: 4 February 2026
On 4 February, ABCSA had the pleasure of co‑hosting our inaugural Johannesburg Connections & Canapés event in conjunction with the Australia‑Africa Minerals & Energy Group (AAMEG).
Given the importance of the Mining Indaba to the African market, we felt it was a great opportunity to host an event prior to the Indaba in Johannesburg for those that were able to attend as a pre-cursor to the Indaba in Cape Town. The event was extremely popular and there were wide ranging conversations regarding the mining and resources sector in Africa. It was fantastic to connect with familiar faces and meet new ones as we geared up for Mining Indaba.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the event sponsors—Ansaman Partners, ATS, CrossBoundary Energy, and Elba Afrika—for their generous support. A special thank‑you also goes to AAMEG for the opportunity to collaborate on such a successful event.
