THE curtain came down on the 26th edition of Mine Entra on Friday after a packed three days of high-level business networking.
Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) Company board chairperson Busisa Moyo said the annual trade showcase was a success.
“We explored the boundless potential of the mining industry to transform not only our economy, but also the lives of those who depend on its riches: the people of Zimbabwe,” Moyo said.
“This year’s event in particular provided a unique platform to spotlight the mining value chain’s contribution to the country’s economic development.
“Thematic focus areas for both the exhibition and concurrent knowledge-sharing platforms included technological advances in mining, latest innovations in machinery and equipment as well as transition to new energy sources and critical minerals such as lithium.”
He said the event was structured to promote on-site connections through several networking and knowledge-sharing platforms.
This year’s Mine Entra conference, which was the highlight of the three-day exhibition, drew 313 delegates.
Botswana, China, South Africa and Tanzania took part in the exhibition.
