Knowledge Session – Investing in Copperbelt Mining
One of the Copperbelt’s most critical constraints to investment is reliable and affordable power. Experts from industry, investment, and energy will participate in a forward-looking panel at 121 Mining Investment Cape Town focused on how ongoing energy deficits in the DRC and Zambia are impacting mining operations, project timelines, and investor confidence, and what practical, near-term solutions are available. Drawing on actual project experience across the region, the panel will explore how innovative financing models and renewable energy projects can unlock capital for both mining and power infrastructure, while highlighting the importance of collaboration between miners, energy providers, and governments to build a more resilient, predictable energy ecosystem capable of supporting the next phase of copper production and regional growth.
