As Mining Indaba 2026 highlighted, the future of mining will be built on partnerships

One company putting that theme into practice is Tharisa, which recently celebrated its first underground blast at the Tharisa Mine in South Africa. The transition from open-pit to underground mining has long been part of the company's strategy and is expected to extend the life of the operation by more than 60 years.

What's notable is how this next phase is being enabled through collaboration across the value chain. From its partnership with Cementation Africa on underground development and workforce upskilling to its work with Dwyka Labs to create a digitally enabled "smart mine", Tharisa's growth strategy is increasingly partnership-driven.

The story reflects a broader trend across the mining sector: major projects are becoming less about standalone ex*****on and more about building ecosystems of partners that share risk, expertise and create long-term value.

It is also an example of how our MI26 theme, "Stronger Together: Progress through Partnerships," naturally evolves into our MI27 theme, "Stronger Together: Partnerships in Practice."

Exactly one year after its separation from Anglo American, Valterra Platinum has moved to positioning itself as one of the mining industry's most closely watched independent producers.

Valterra completed its demerger from Anglo American on 31 May 2025; and began trading on the London Stock Exchange on 2 June 2025 under the ticker VALT, alongside its primary Johannesburg listing.

One year later, Valterra has delivered its first full set of independent results, completed the establishment of its standalone corporate identity, strengthened its balance sheet and begun laying the foundations for the next generation of growth projects.

For the platinum industry, the company's first year has offered a test case of whether a pure-play PGM champion can create more value outside a diversified mining house.

The Government of the Republic of Botswana and De Beers Group have confirmed that Dr. Akinwumi Adesina has been appointed as the Diamonds for Development Fund’s Chairperson.

Dr. Adesina is a widely respected global leader and renowned development economist with close to 40 years of experience in global and African development issues. He was the 8th elected President of the African Development Bank Group, first elected to the position in 2015, and re-elected for a second term in 2020. He ended his second term as President of the Bank in September 2025.

“His appointment solidifies the position of the Government of the Republic of Botswana to maximise the value of Botswana diamonds as an anchor for economic transformation, diversification, innovation, beneficiation and citizen participation in the diamond value chain.” - Honourable Bogolo Kenewendo, Minister of Minerals and Energy for the Government of the Republic of Botswana

“When we set up the groundbreaking Diamonds for Development Fund with the Botswana Government, we knew that we would need an extraordinary leader to achieve our ambition of economic diversification and job creation. In Dr Adesina, I am confident we have found just that person.” - Al Cook, CEO of De Beers Group

“It is not only diamonds that should shine, the lives of the people of Botswana must also shine. The Fund’s success will set a global benchmark for how natural resource wealth can create enduring value for generations to come,” says Dr. Adesina.

Dr. Adesina will formally assume his new role on 15 June 2026.

Mining Indaba extends its sincere congratulations to Hon. Dr. Monica Musenero Musanza on her appointment as Uganda’s Minister of Energy and Mineral Development.

At a time when the global conversation around minerals is becoming increasingly interconnected with industrialisation, infrastructure, regional collaboration and long-term economic transformation, leadership that combines technical expertise, international experience and systems-level thinking will be more important than ever.

Dr. Musenero’s extensive experience working across Uganda, the DRC, Sierra Leone and wider regional health and coordination ecosystems reflect a deep understanding of complex stakeholder environments and cross-border collaboration under pressure, capabilities that are becoming increasingly relevant in a rapidly evolving strategic minerals landscape.

We also warmly congratulate Hon. Phiona Nyamutoro on her reappointment as Minister of State for Energy and Mineral Development (Minerals), reaffirming continuity in leadership within Uganda’s mineral development agenda.

Mining Indaba also recognises and appreciates the service and contribution of the outgoing Minister, Hon. Ruth Nankabirwa, whose leadership has contributed to Uganda’s evolving energy and mineral development trajectory.

Uganda continues to strengthen its position within Africa’s evolving mining and energy landscape through strategic policy direction, regional cooperation and a growing commitment to resource-led industrialisation and value addition.

As Mining Indaba advances toward under the theme “Stronger Together: Partnerships in Practice,” we look forward to continued engagement with the Government of Uganda in fostering partnerships that drive investment, unlock sustainable mineral development and accelerate shared prosperity across the continent.

We wish both Ministers every success in their leadership and service.
