Digital Mining Register at AIMC 2025
The African mining landscape is evolving — and Angola is leading the charge with its Digital Mining Register.
Next week, the country will officially unveil its first-ever digital mining register during the Angola International Mining Conference (AIMC 2025). This marks a major step forward in modernising Angola’s mineral sector and opening new doors for international investors.
A New Era for Angola’s Mining Industry
The two-day conference, taking place from 22–23 October 2025 in Luanda, is expected to attract more than 500 delegates and 70 influential speakers from across the world.
The event will highlight Angola’s transformation into a key global mining destination — one built on innovation, transparency, and sustainable growth.
Digital Mining Register at AIMC 2025
Organised by the Ministry of Mineral Resources, Petroleum and Gas in collaboration with Sankofa Advisory Group, VUKA Group, and Bumbar Mining, AIMC 2025 is more than a networking event. It’s a strategic platform designed to showcase Angola’s geological wealth, investment potential, and reforms that promote accountability and good governance.
Theme: Driving Investment, Innovation, and Industrialisation
This year’s theme — “Driving Investment, Innovation, and Industrialisation in Angola’s Mining Sector” — perfectly captures the spirit of growth, progress, and transformation currently shaping the nation’s mining landscape. Throughout the two-day conference, speakers will not only explore the latest industry developments but will also share valuable perspectives on how innovation, collaboration, and responsible governance can drive lasting impact. In addition, participants can expect insightful discussions and practical strategies that connect technological advancement with sustainable mining practices. Key areas of focus will include:
- Mining finance and investment strategies
- Regulatory and governance reforms
- Sustainable logistics and infrastructure
- Community engagement and social responsibility
Each session aims to help investors, operators, and policymakers understand how Angola is building a responsible and future-ready mining industry.
Why the Digital Mining Register Matters
One of the biggest highlights of AIMC 2025 is the launch of Angola’s new digital mining register.
This innovation is set to enhance transparency, improve investor access to geological data, and streamline licensing processes.
In short, it will make it easier for investors to make informed decisions, access credible data, and participate in Angola’s rapidly expanding mining market.
This move strengthens Angola’s reputation as a stable, reform-driven economy committed to openness and modernisation.
As Minister Diamantino Pedro Azevedo explained, “The opportunities are vast, the framework is in place, and global partnerships are ready to accelerate Angola’s growth trajectory. We are entering a new era of transformation.”
Key Leaders and Industry Voices
The conference will feature a prestigious lineup of speakers.
President João Lourenço will open the event, setting the tone for Angola’s renewed commitment to growth.
He will be joined by international mining leaders such as:
- Feriel Zerouki – World Diamond Council
- Tim George – Pensana Plc
- Ken Tainton – Rio Tinto
- António Pedro – Former UNECA Executive Secretary
- Verónica Bolton Smith – Critical Minerals Africa Group
Major mining operators — including CATOCA, ENDIAMA, SODIAM, Ivanhoe Mines, De Beers, Rio Tinto, and Sonangol — will also participate, showcasing Angola’s growing influence on the global mining stage.
What This Means for Africa’s Mining Future
Angola’s efforts to modernise its mining sector demonstrate how African countries are embracing digital transformation to attract investment and promote responsible resource management.
This milestone will likely encourage regional collaboration, technological innovation, and skills development across the continent.
For South African mining professionals — including Shift Bosses, Mining Supervisors, and operational leaders — these global developments highlight the importance of continuous training and certification.
