Symposium Mines Guinee

SMG 2011: West Africa’s largest mining event

Symposium Mines Guinea is now established as the largest mining event currently organised in West Africa. In 2008, the event attracted over 800 participants emanating from 25 countries, 46 companies exhibited and 85 presentations were delivered. The event also featured touristic visits to the Isle de Loos, and to the mining sites Simandou, Kamsar, Sangaredi and Boké.

Symposium Mines Guinea has been organised on a biannual basis since 2004 (Bel Air, Boffa, Guinea), 2006 (Dusseldorf, Germany) and 2008 (Conakry, Guinea). For 2011 in order to improve the quality and format of the event, there has been an extra day added for conference presentations, provisions have been made for a larger exhibition space and there will be more interactive seminars and roundtable discussions. We are particularly keen to encourage the participation of Guinea’s young professionals and mining graduates in SMG 2011.
