Ghana with its well established mining industry
lies at the very heart of the burgeoning West African mining scene. It is a
networking node for the solid minerals development aspirations of the Nigerian
Government, for exploration and mine development in Mali and Senegal, it’s
a supply depot for companies operating in Burkina Faso and Niger, it’s a
base for aerial survey companies. In short, the very life blood of the West
African mining industry pumps through Ghana.
Mining stimulates the industrialisation of West
Africa, is the biggest user of electricity in the sub-region and creates
construction and infrastructural demand.
For equipment and service providers who wish to
capitalise on opportunities in these sectors, Accra in 2010 is the place to
be.

"Once again, the best mining and power conference and
exhibition in Africa is here with us.
WAMPEX will as usual provide unique
opportunities for businesses, experts and countries to network.
Since
1994, WAMPEX has become a must-attend event for those involved in the mining
and power sectors all over the world. The WAMPOC Conference will provide the
platform for extensive discussions on Africa's mining and energy sectors within
a Ghanaian setting. As partners in this endeavour, it is our pleasure to
welcome the world of mining and power to Ghana."

Resources

“WAMPOC has been associated with resurgence
of Ghana’s mining industry which has been as a result of initiatives by
Governments, along with the roles of other stakeholders, over the last two
decades. Ghana has been a trail blaze, in mining development and attraction, in
sub-Saharan African for the period.
As host of the 9th in the series
of biennial conference / exhibition, I would want to urge all stakeholders
interested in the sustainable development of Ghana,West Africa and the
continent at large, catalyzed by mining, to come together to share ideas and
experiences, network and forge mutually beneficial partnerships under the
auspices of the WAMPOC 2010."
