SIM Senegal is North West Africa’s leading mining event and is a firm fixture in the continent’s mining industry business calendar. SIM Senegal already in its 6th edition has been held on a biennial basis since 2010. The 6th edition of SIM Senegal, the live event, was due to take place in November 2020, however, due to COVID-19, it has been postponed to June 2021.

While waiting for the live event, the SIM Senegal Virtual Summit took place in January 2021 under the theme “For a Resilient Senegalese Mining Sector”. The attendees were able to participate in the two-day virtual summit, listen to live presentations, take part in discussions, visit the virtual expo, and network with potential business partners in our Virtual Meeting Point.

The virtual summit had the special participation of the Houn. Minister of Mines and Geology, Republic of Senegal, making a keynote speech during the Opening Ceremony.
