African Copper III26-28 September 2012 Southern Sun Ridgeway, Lusaka, ZambiaZambia’s annual copper output is set to reach 1.5mtonnes by 2016 while the DRC is aiming for similarproduction levels within the same time-frame – andtheir largely untapped mineral wealth is drawing theinterest of the global mining community. With thelong-term fundamentals remaining very buoyant forcopper, the search for new and economically viablesources of the red metal is gaining pace, and Africais high on the list of resources to be mined.The continent as a whole offers a great deal in terms ofreward – higher ore grades than in most parts of theworld, exciting and lucrative by-products, and aneconomy that is desperately keen for economicdevelopment and diversification. There are risks too –logistical and operational hurdles, not to mention therecent drive for ensuring the proceeds from mining toremain, to a larger degree, within national boundaries.Given the heightened interest in investing in Africancopper to replenish the global supply pipeline, MetalBulletin Events is holding its third African CopperConference in its natural home – the Central AfricanCopperbelt. Recognising the region’s growingimportance to global copper balances, Zambia and thecity of Lusaka will play host to this year’s conferencewhich will feature an extended programme and a visit toa local mining operation.Key topics for discussion:l Overcoming logistical, infrastructure and energyhurdles? How much progress is being made?l Will resource nationalism put the brakes onmine development?l Global concentrate supply-demand balances –what can Africa realistically contribute?l Balancing economic pressures withenvironmental and ecological imperativesl Where is the mineralization and how good is it?What about co-products such as cobalt and gold?l Can DRC and Zambia spawn new mega-projects?l What do other countries such as Eritrea,Botswana, Nambia, and Gabon have to offer?l Geopolitical stability and country risk; mining lawreform – promises or reality?l Financing options: the banks, the trading houses,the multilateral agenciesWho should attend?l Traders, smelters and users of copper lookingfor new supply sourcesl Junior miners and exploration firms looking toshowcase their projects and secure financel Brokers and bankers looking for newopportunities and wanting to gauge the risksl Logistics and infrastructure providers,equipment makers and consultants seekingnew sales openingsl Anyone with an interest in global copper supply– demand balances and trends
