Just wrapped up a productive week at the Africa Down Under conference in Perth. A great opportunity to connect with industry leaders, explore the latest trends, and reconnect with familiar faces. I also had the privilege of meeting with 𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐳𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐧. 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐬, 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐯𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞, to discuss the future of mining in Tanzania. Looking forward to continuing these discussions and exploring new opportunities! #Africa #Mining #Investment CA Mining

It was a great pleasure to be able to welcome a large contingent of Honourable Ministers, Excellencies, High Commissioners, Ambassadors and many distinguished guests from Africa to Perth for the 22nd edition of Africa Down Under. This long-standing Conference is testament to the strength of Australia, and in particular Western Australia’s, enduring partnership with Africa. It clearly speaks to the endowment shared by both WA and Africa in hosting an abundance of natural resources, including critical minerals. While we acknowledge the connections we have through our natural resources, we must also highlight how important our cultural ties are. In 2023, there were over 4,300 student enrolments from African nations in Western Australia in 2023. Meanwhile, there are more than 100,000 Western Australian residents who were born in African countries, which is around 20 per cent of African‑born residents in Australia. The relationship between WA and Africa continues to blossom and there is no better example of this than the long, successful history of Western Australian companies having interests in African mining projects, and African companies having interests in the State. Congratulations and thank you to Paydirt Media Pty Ltd for hosting this important gathering. I look forward to the next 

Before the Africa Down Under conference wrapped up in Perth last week, Dominic Piper from Paydirt Media Pty Ltd caught up with CEO Brad Rogers to discuss the ongoing success of the world-class manganese mine Tshipi (Jupiter 49.9%). Operating since 2012, Tshipi has consistently delivered reliable #manganese production, averaging around 3.4 million tonnes of ore sales annually over the past five years. This year, Tshipi exceeded expectations, closing out with 3.55 million tonnes in sales.   📽 Tune in to learn more about Tshipi and Jupiter’s strategic move into the EV battery market , by converting lower-grade manganese ore, currently stockpiled at Tshipi, into battery-grade manganese. 🔌 🚘 https://lnkd.in/g-UF9Kc4
