SPONSORS 2021

SIM Senegal conference has been conceived to examine in detail all aspects of the country’s mining industry. For over half a century the main mineral resource of Senegal has been phosphates, new discoveries and more investment means that production is rising, and investment is growing.

We will look at the community, what is the impact of the mining sector on the community? We will elaborate on how mining contributes financially to the local communities by developing business but staying environmentally friendly.
