NAMIBIA TO SHOWCASE INVESTMENT-READY MINING OPPORTUNITIES AT THE MINING INDABA 2026

Namibia offers a stable, predictable, and resource-rich mining jurisdiction aligned with global demand for critical and strategic minerals, including uranium, diamonds, lithium, rare earth elements, copper, graphite, cobalt, manganese and zinc. As a cornerstone of Namibia’s economy, the mining sector continues to play a vital role in driving economic growth, employment creation and industrial development. 

As part of the country's long-term mining and industrialisation strategy, Namibia is positioning both large-scale investments and small-scale and emerging mining as an integrated pipeline for sustainable growth, value creation, and resilient mineral supply chains. With the abundance of resources, Namibia is seeking investors and development partners to advance its strategic priorities in exploration, beneficiation, and downstream value addition, supported by a predictable policy framework and a proven business environment trusted by multinational companies including De Beers Group, B2Gold, Orano and CNNC.

The Namibian Government will showcase investment opportunities and its unique value proposition at the Investing in African Mining Indaba. Senior officials will engage potential investors, financiers, and technical partners to explore public-private partnerships across the mining value chain, mobilise capital and expertise  -  advancing investable opportunities and the formalisation and de-risking of emerging projects aligned with global market demand. 

The Namibian delegation will be led by the Deputy Minister of Industries, Mines and Energy, Honourable Gaudentia Kröhne.
