Women in Mining Africa (WiM-Africa) has partnered Resourcing Tomorrow /Mines and Money London 2025 to promote gender equity in the mineral value chain.
The partnership is expected to provide a platform for African women in mining to showcase their contributions and innovations, said Comfort Asokoro-Ogaji, executive director, WiM-Africa.
Asokoro-Ogaji, in a statement, said the partnership is a significant milestone in amplifying African women’s voices in the global mining conversation, providing a platform for representation and driving gender-inclusive growth in the industry.
“The partnership is more than just an opportunity to attend a global conference—it is a platform for representation.
“We are ensuring that African women in mining have a seat at the table where decisions on investment, sustainability, and innovation are being shaped for the future of our sector.”
She added that, “eligible applicants must work in a qualifying mining or energy company with a market capitalization above USD $500 million and hold a role that influences purchasing, operations, legal, human resources, government, or technology decisions.”
In addition to participating in the main conference, WiM-Africa will also host a high-level side event during London Mining Week.
The woman miner further said that the exclusive gathering will bring together African women leaders in mining, international partners, policymakers, and investors to showcase contributions to the critical minerals sector, highlight innovative projects, and forge partnerships that drive gender-inclusive growth in the industry.
