set our industry on a new path that will transform our future.” - Mark Cutifani, Co-Chair

KIN Catalyst: The Mining Company of the Future.

“The linear ‘Take-Make-Dispose’ system, which depletes natural resources and generates

waste, is deeply flawed and can be productively replaced by a restorative model in which

waste does not exist as such - but is only food for the next cycle.” - Ellen MacArthur -

Round-the-World-Yachtswoman

the backdrop, the conference dedicated to the capitalisation and development of mining

interests in Africa, the 2015 Sustainability Summit will focus on fast tracking
