STORYLINE:
International and local exhibitors on Wednesday converged at Namibia's first in-person Mining Expo and Conference after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The theme of this year's two-day event is "Breaking New Frontiers in a Post-Pandemic Era."
"We have 103 exhibitors occupying 163 stands this year, as compared to 88 exhibitors with 136 booths in 2019. We are showcasing the entire extractive industry, from solid minerals to oil and gas," said Namibia's Chamber of Commerce President Hilifa Mbako.
Namibia's Deputy Minister of Mines and Energy Kornelia Shilunga, who officially opened the event, said the improvement of global commodity prices brings hope to the mining sector.
"The sector should look forward to more exploration activities and mine expansions. This will ultimately create more jobs in the sector," she said.
