“A successful first mining conference in Mauritius with extensive possibilities for networking with a high number of decision makers”

Ben Lim, CEO – Intercontinental Trust Ltd

Mines and Money Africa is positioned against the backdrop of an unprecedented increase in Asian investment into Africa throughout the last decade – and this is expected to increase. Located in the financial centre of Mauritius, which delivers an unique investment platform for investments in the African natural resources sector, this exclusive summit leverages the global investor base of Mines and Money, leaders in the African mining sector with the local expertise of our event partners in Mauritius.

China’s commitment to Africa is resolute. At a conference in Ethiopia in 2014, Premier Li Keqiang addressed the African Union and predicted that by 2020, trade volume will rise to USD 400 Billion. Trade to date with China has doubled since 2008. Aside from China, the rest of Asia accounts for 26% of Africa’s trade flows. This is all good news for mining companies as Asia continues to drive resource consumption.

Some economists are suggesting that Africa is shaping to be “China’s Second

Continent”, the title of New York Times journalist Howard W. French’s book. However, Even though Chinese FDI into Africa increased to USD 200 billion in 2013, investment into Africa is risky.

To offset this concern, Mauritius, an international financial centre, has signed 19 investor protection and double taxation treaties with Sub-Saharan African governments to safeguard and protect the interests of investors into the region.

Securing your investments with a unique network of agreements with African countries: 19 Investment Promotion and Protection Agreements (IPPAs) and 17 Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs)

Helping you in the listing of junior mining companies – Stock Exchange of Mauritius is expanding into a regional stock exchange, with special regulation to make this easier

The banking system in Mauritius offers you the freedom of movement of foreign currency and free repatriation of profits, dividends and capital available

An investment destination that guarantees you peace of mind – the World Bank Doing Business Survey 2014 ranked Mauritius first in Africa (which has been the case for five consecutive years) alongside being 28th globally
