The west African mining sector is an area with high risks but high rewards. Investor interest in high grade commodities like gold and iron ore continues to exist and investors see the region as one of the few major frontier markets left globally. With the significance of mining developments in the region increasing, Resourceful Events, an associate company of Mining Journal and Mines and Money brings you the West Africa Mining Investment Summit in London on June 3-6.

Political concerns sit high on the agenda of those operating here. With fast developing mineral projects the legal, tax and royalties framework is altering. From a review of mining projects in Guinea to increased taxes in Burkina Faso the industry faces challenges. However, high returns are available and if risks are quantified and managed, there is excellent investment potential in the region. The conference will provide a chance for you to understand how you could maximise these returns for your investment in the region while managing the risks.

Major areas of interest for the investment sector include iron ore and gold amongst other commodities. With excellent grades available, mining companies, fund managers and financiers can take advantage of the strong business opportunities presented by West African mining. The conference in June will provide a forum to discuss these investments and for companies to meet with investors. With excellent networking opportunities available and a spotlight drawn on West African mining and your project, can you afford to miss out?
