A two-day training seminar titled 'Mining: An Industry Insight' delivered to a delegation from the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the ALSF. The aim was to provide delegates with a concise but comprehensive overview of the mining sector and the legal agreements that govern the sector. Delegates were introduced to the mining industry, and the many aspects that affect the sector. The workshop further familiarised delegates with the various foundational aspects and terminology employed in the negotiation and administration of mining agreements, with selected case studies used throughout to illustrate particular topics.
