From June 11th to 13th, 2025, Lubumbashi, the capital of Upper Katanga Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, will host an annual grand event - the Democratic Republic of the Congo Mining Week. At that time, mining practitioners from all over the world will gather together to witness this grand event in the African mining industry. This event coincides with the 20th anniversary celebration of Congo Mining Week. The content will be more diverse and the event arrangement will be more influential.

At present, all the preparatory work is being carried out in an orderly manner. The event organizer is holding high-level meetings with major partners and sponsors to ensure the smooth implementation of all matters.

One of the important sponsors of this Mining Week is the internationally renowned Barrick Gold. Its subsidiary Kibali mining project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been deeply rooted in the local area for a long time and is regarded as one of the successful cases of mining investment.

As part of the event preparation, event director Samukelo Madlabane recently had an in-depth exchange with Cyril Mutombo, the national Director of Barrick Gold in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a member of the advisory committee, and the partner of this event. Both sides reached important consensus on strengthening cooperation and promoting innovative investment.

The goal of the meeting is clear: to further stimulate the vitality and potential of the mining industry in the Democratic Republic of the Congo by consolidating ties with core forces in the industry.

When introducing the vision of the event, the organizer, Vuka Group, stated: "On this 20th anniversary, we are committed to deepening cooperation to create a truly lasting impact for the mining industry in the Democratic Republic of the Congo."
