The theme for this year’s conference is: “The Namibian Mining Industry’s Resilience and Growth Post COVID-19.” The COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the Namibian economy, and continues to present risks and uncertainty for a return to growth. While not unbattered, the mining sector remained resilient and continued to support the Namibian economy during the pandemic, and directly contributed towards the national fight against COVID-19. Given the growing importance of this sector, the 2021 Mining Conference will focus on how mining is positioned to continue supporting the economy well beyond COVID-19.Wednesday 1st September, 2021 (Provisional) Programme 08.00 – 08.15 Welcoming Remarks Hilifa Mbako, President, CoM (Chairman of Sessions) 08.15 – 08.30 COVID-19 and Impact on the Mining Industry Barcelona Tsauses, Chairperson, Chamber Safety Committee & Director, Dundee Precious Metals Tsumeb 08.30 – 09.00 Mining Industry Support to COVID-19 Initiatives Mark Dawe, MD & Country Manager, B2Gold Namibia and Chairperson, Oxygen Committee of Business Namibia COVID Initiative 09.00 – 09.30 Status Quo of Mining Sector in 2021: Poised for Growth?
