African Mining Week (AMW) 2025 to Host Invest in Angola's Mining Sector Forum
The African Mining Week (AMW) conference - Africa's premier event for the mining sector, scheduled for October 1–3, 2025 in Cape Town – will feature a dedicated session titled Invest in Angola's Mining Sector, sharing insight into the vast investment opportunities across the country's mineral landscape. The session will showcase the immense, untapped potential of Angola's diverse mineral resources, providing investors with strategic insights and actionable pathways to capitalize on this burgeoning market. Rich in a variety of minerals, including diamonds, copper, gold, lithium, rare earths and more, Angola offers significant growth opportunities for mining companies. As such, the Angolan session seeks to unlock these opportunities by connecting stakeholders under the broader event theme: From Extraction to Beneficiation: Unlocking Africa's Mineral Wealth. African Mining Week serves as a premier platform for exploring the full spectrum of mining opportunities across Africa. The event is held alongside the African Energy Week: Invest in African Energies 2025 conference from October 1-3 in Cape Town. Sponsors, exhibitors and delegates can learn more by contacting sales@ In the diamond sector, the session will provide insight into strategic investment opportunities. A global leader in diamond production, Angola already presents a compelling investment case, backed by over 732 million carats of untapped diamond reserves valued at more than $140 billion. The country is pursuing both upstream expansion and downstream beneficiation. Key developments include a new pilot production and processing facility at Luachimba, launched by ENDIAMA - the national diamond company - and ongoing feasibility studies at the Xamacanda site. Global mining firm De Beers is also advancing exploration across eight new diamond project targets. AMW will link these promising projects with global investors and strategic partners, in line with Angola's ambitions to leverage its diamond wealth for sustainable economic growth. Beyond diamonds, Angola is making substantial strides in its critical minerals sector as part of its long-term strategy to become a leading exporter of processed critical minerals - essential for the global energy transition. The government has identified 34 critical minerals, with key projects like Pensana's Longonjo Rare Earth Project driving the market expansion. In March 2025, Pensana secured $268 million in funding to begin phase one of development. The project will enable Angola to supply 5% of the world's high-grade rare earth carbonate, significantly boosting its role in the global rare earth sector. AMW will make a strong case for Angolan critical minerals, providing a platform where partners, investors and mining corporation can engage and sign deals. Meanwhile, AMW 2025 will bring together global stakeholders to explore Angola's copper, lithium and manganese landscape. The country is advancing projects in these industries and new investment would fuel growth even further. China's Shining Star is set to begin commercial production at its 40-million-ton Mavoio-Tetelo copper project in northern Angola in 2025, while Ivanhoe Mines is undertaking extensive copper exploration. Mining companies Tyranna Resources and ST New Materials are unlocking new frontiers in lithium and manganese, while Rio Tinto is exploring for base metals under an agreement signed in 2024. These efforts underscore increasing international interest in Angola's critical mineral potential. Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Energy Capital&Power.

Dubai: Gold prices slip in early trade after jumping over Dh10 per gram
Gold prices slipped Dh1.5 per gram on Tuesday after jumping over Dh10 on Monday. The 24K variant of the precious metal rose Dh10.5 per gram to Dh406.75 on Monday but slipped to Dh405.25 per gram on Tuesday morning. Meanwhile, 22K, 21K and 18K were trading at Dh375.25, Dh359.75 and Dh308.5 per gram, respectively. Spot gold was trading at $3,361.67 per ounce, down 0.35 per cent. Dilin Wu, research strategist at Pepperstone, said gold extended its choppy trading pattern from mid-April last week, with bearish pressure dominating. 'A series of developments — including shifting White House rhetoric on EU tariffs, resilient US data, changing market sentiment on Treasuries, and legal challenges to tariff legitimacy — have all contributed to the recent price swings... Gold remains range-bound between $3,170 and $3,430, with downward momentum still in control,' said Wu. Looking ahead, she said uncertainty around the legal path of US tariffs and the trajectory of the tax bill will likely keep gold supported on dips, while resilient US data, the Fed's reluctance to shift dovish, and some gold selling from China on Friday may cap upside momentum. Inki Cho, financial markets strategist consultant to Exness, said gold prices were bolstered by renewed trade tensions and escalating geopolitical risks on Monday. 'President Donald Trump announced plans to double tariffs on steel and aluminium imports to 50 per cent starting June 4, a decision that comes amid ongoing legal disputes over current tariffs. Markets responded cautiously, seeking shelter in traditional hedges like gold. Further uncertainty emerged after Trump accused China of violating a recent trade truce, prompting a sharp exchange of claims between the two governments,' he said.
