Women in Mining Africa (WiM-Africa) has been confirmed as an official supporting partner of Resourcing Tomorrow / Mines and Money London 2025, taking place from 2–4 December 2025 in London, United Kingdom, a statement signed by the Executive Director of the organisation, Dr Comfort Asokoro-Ogaji, has revealed.
This strategic partnership marks an important milestone in WiM-Africa’s mission to amplify African women’s voices in the global mining conversation and promote gender equity across the mineral value chain.
As part of the partnership, WiM-Africa has secured up to complimentary full-access passes for female leaders from mid-tier and major mining companies with a market capitalisation above USD $500 million, along with complimentary passes for WiM-Africa active volunteers and staff.
Each pass provides full access to the conference programme, exhibition floor, and daily networking receptions with some of the most influential figures in the mining industry, including investors, policymakers, and corporate executives.
“This is more than just an opportunity to attend a global conference—it is a platform for representation,” said Dr Comfort Asokoro-Ogaji, Executive Director of WiM-Africa. “We are ensuring that African women in mining have a seat at the table where decisions on investment, sustainability, and innovation are being shaped for the future of our sector.”
Eligible applicants must work in a qualifying mining or energy company with a market capitalisation above USD $500 million and hold a role that influences purchasing, operations, legal, human resources, government, or technology decisions.
Examples of qualifying roles include M&A and corporate development, procurement and technology, HR and people management, legal counsel, ESG and sustainability, and government relations.
Nominations are open until 15 September 2025 through WiM-Africa’s dedicated registration form, and all nominations will be subject to approval by the event organisers.
In addition to participating in the main conference, WiM-Africa will also host a high-level side event during London Mining Week. This exclusive gathering will bring together African women leaders in mining, international partners, policymakers, and investors to showcase contributions to the critical minerals sector, highlight innovative projects, and forge partnerships that drive gender-inclusive growth in the industry.
WiM-Africa invites eligible companies, mining leaders, and industry allies to nominate outstanding women leaders for the complimentary passes and to explore opportunities for collaboration.
The organisation is also seeking sponsorship partners to support African women’s participation at this global forum, ensuring strong continental representation in London this December.
