About Infrastructure Partnerships for African Development (iPAD) DRC
iPAD DRC is a two day investment forum in the Mining sector with a pre-conference think-tank on Power: Synergy Mines-Energy.
Overall, it examines critical issues pertaining to the business climate and good governance and how DRC can attract direct investment, the fiscal regime and the impacts on the mining sector, the current mining projects with emphasis on diamonds, gold and the 3T’s, infrastructure development with focus on transport infrastructure and corridor development and the issues around mining and communities, touching on artisanal mining in the DRC as well as Corporate Social Responsibility.
iPAD DRC is a well established annual mining investment event for the DRC focusing on creating an enabling environment as well as ramping up infrastructure to boost the industrialisation of the mining sector. 2013 marks its 9th year. Exploration companies and mining operators need to maintain and build on existing relationships with Central Government plus have a keen understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks governing the mining sector. In the DRC, mining companies must make sure they comprehend the business climate, fiscal policies and tax regimes that will impact their daily business. In 2013 the Mining Code will be revised, which will impact royalties that companies must pay to government, among other things.
