The 'Women Pioneering the Future of Mining' panel
|
|
LBMA is proud to be part of the conversation that is shaping a brighter future for mining in Africa. Indeed, one of many soundbites which stood out to LBMA delegates, by Raksha Naidoo (The Particle Group & Women in Mining South Africa), is: “The future is female."
|
|
|
|
Raksha moderated the 'Women Pioneering the Future of Mining' session, which explored the transformative impact of African women driving innovation, sustainability, and inclusivity in the mining sector.
Find out more about the session and its speakers via the Indaba website.

Silver emerged as the standout performer for total OTC traded volumes last week, surging at 31.27% across all instruments. The spike in silver volume was largely driven by a double-digit increase in spot, forward, swap, and option transactions. As a result, silver price has also increased by 2.32%. Platinum saw increased trading too as a result of a double-digit increase in forward, swap and option transactions; while palladium volume increased by 3.61%, as did its price similarly by 3.97%. Gold volume demonstrated a minor decline of 2.20%.
