“So we’ve been hearing many interesting discussions and panels from different perspectives, and it was very interesting for us to be here. The most important thing is you know, people that are willing to go to Africa to discover new things, to contribute to our development, every company that’s willing to work honestly and permanently, we welcome to Niger.”

“The hosts have done a magnificent job of bringing in delegates from around the world and attracting businesses to come to see what’s available. I highly recommend any business or institution that is interested in investing in Africa to attend these conferences [Arab & African Mining] because they are very insightful.”

“The discussions at the panel sessions are quite relevant and enlightening. Most of the challenges in African countries regarding mining are being highlighted at the meeting.”

“It’s an exclusive platform for us, to be able to promote to a select group of investors. It was also a good opportunity to be able to hear first hand from the investment community what they focus on, what their perception is, what is the risk profile of the country, of the continent, of the mining sector, because it gives the comfort to know that what we are doing is right.”

“At the end of the day, the reason we come to this is: to support our governments…If you’re working in a country like I’m working in…when you have a government that is doing the right things, then you’re willing to support them. Quite often with conferences, it’s not about the volume, it’s about the quality of people, and I’ve had some very constructive conversations with people I needed to talk to. So it has been worth the effort.”
