The Africa Down Under Conference closes today and has offered enormous insight into the challenges of exploring and mining in Africa, as well as the successes. This was the 22nd edition of Africa Down Under (ADU) which was first launched to raise awareness of Australia’s interests in African #mining and #energy.  The three-day meeting has evolved to become the largest African-focused mining event held outside the continent itself, which is reflected by the number of high-profile participants who attend each year.   Over the past 12 years, the mining sector has played a pivotal role in driving economic development in the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire, with ongoing exploration yielding results across a range of commodities, including #gold, #IronOre, #nickel, #cobalt, #copper, #bauxite and #manganese.
