Africa sits at the heart of the global critical minerals transition, with vast reserves of lithium, cobalt, copper, nickel, manganese, graphite, and rare earths driving the low-carbon economy.

The SAIMM Critical Minerals Conference 2026 will bring together key decision-makers across government, industry, finance, research, and civil society to address one urgent question: how do we move from extraction to real value creation in Africa?

This is your opportunity to position your organisation at the centre of the critical minerals value chain conversation, gain visibility among influential stakeholders, and align your brand with sustainable growth and industrial transformation.
