The Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) began its participation at the African Mining Indaba 2026 with a series of high-level engagements.<\/p>\n

They are aimed at strengthening partnerships, attracting investment, and advancing sustainable mining practices.<\/p>\n

A statement copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra said the engagements followed the official opening of the conference at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), one of the largest global platforms for mining dialogue and investment.<\/p>\n

The 2026 edition of the Africa Mining Indaba brought together thousands of delegates from governments, mining companies, financial institutions, and development partners to discuss the future of mining in Africa.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s conference is being held under the theme \u201cStronger Together: Progress Through Partnerships,\u201d highlighting collaboration as a critical driver of sustainable development across the sector.<\/p>\n

The conference was formally opened on Monday, February 9, 2026, by the Executive Mayor of Cape Town, Geordin Hill-Lewis, who welcomed delegates to the city and underscored mining\u2019s importance to Africa\u2019s long-term development.<\/p>\n

In his address, the Mayor emphasised the role of mining in building resilient economies, supporting the global energy transition, and delivering inclusive growth across the continent.<\/p>\n

He called for closer collaboration between governments, investors, and industry players, stressing that Africa\u2019s mineral wealth must be transformed into shared prosperity through partnership-driven approaches.<\/p>\n

The Mayor also highlighted the need for predictable regulatory frameworks, strong institutions, and government-led infrastructure development to support investor confidence.<\/p>\n

Mayor Hill-Lewis drew on an African proverb to reinforce the central theme of unity and collective responsibility, stating: \u201cThe one who joins the hand has the right to the meat.\u201d The message resonated strongly with delegates, reflecting the conference\u2019s emphasis on cooperation as a pathway to sustainable outcomes.<\/p>\n

With the conference officially underway, the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) commenced its programme of activities on Monday, launching a packed schedule of strategic meetings with mining companies, investors, and financial institutions.<\/p>\n

The engagements were led by the Fund\u2019s Chief Executive Officer, Mrs Justina Nelson, with support from Board Members Mr Yakubu Mohammed, MP for Ahafo Ano South-east, and Ms Ama Mawusi Mawuenyefia, as well as the Chief Technical Officer, Mr Kwabena Barning, and the Head of Investment, Mr Ernest Attiso.<\/p>\n

The discussions focused on identifying partnership opportunities that align strong commercial returns with Ghana\u2019s national development priorities.<\/p>\n

Among the key engagements were meetings with Asanko Gold Mine Ghana Limited, AngloGold Ashanti Ghana Limited, and Gold Fields Ghana Limited.<\/p>\n

Discussions centred on potential collaboration in areas such as streaming arrangements, foreign exchange considerations, sustainability initiatives, and environmental, social and governance (ESG) integration.<\/p>\n

The conversations reflected MIIF\u2019s mandate to play a catalytic role in Ghana\u2019s mining sector while supporting responsible investment practices.<\/p>\n

Beyond financial considerations, the meetings placed strong emphasis on environmental stewardship.<\/p>\n

The companies are committed to working with MIIF\u2019s ESG and Sustainability teams to support the reforestation of mined-out areas, reinforcing shared responsibility for land restoration and long-term environmental management.<\/p>\n

Social impact also featured prominently in the discussions.<\/p>\n

The companies reaffirmed their support for MIIF\u2019s Women from Mining Communities (WomCom) Scholarship Scheme, pledging to collaborate on STEM education initiatives to increase opportunities for women and girls in mining communities.<\/p>\n

The programme seeks to expand female participation in technical and leadership roles within the mining sector.<\/p>\n

By the close of activities on Monday, MIIF had established a strong presence at African Mining Indaba 2026.<\/p>\n

The Fund\u2019s early engagements translated the conference\u2019s call for partnership into tangible discussions, positioning MIIF as a key national institution committed to balancing investment performance with environmental responsibility and inclusive growth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
