As Africa’s mining sector evolves, meaningful dialogue between governments, investors and industry has never been more important. Mining on Top Africa has become one of the leading forums for those conversations, and this year’s conference in Paris once again brought together key stakeholders from across the continent to discuss investment, resource development and the future of African mining.
Dmitrii Tocarev, Emiral’s General Director in Mauritania, was part of the Mauritanian government’s delegation to the Paris event. Joining discussions focused on the opportunities shaping the next chapter of the country’s mining industry.
What emerged throughout the conference was a clear sense that Mauritania’s mining story is evolving.
During the two-day conference, the Mauritania-focused sessions explored the country’s ongoing reforms, strategic resources and ambition to become a leading mining and industrial hub. Discussions centered on the role of long-term investor confidence and economic diversification in creating sustainable growth across the sector.
Mauritania’s long-term advantage lies in the country’s ability to connect reforms, national operators, strategic minerals and investor confidence into a clear pathway for industrial development. That important combination is what continues to attract international attention and reinforces Mauritania’s position as one of Africa’s most compelling mining destinations.
For Emiral, these constructive conversations reflected what we continue to see on the ground; there is a shared determination evident in government and industry to develop a mining sector that delivers lasting economic value while supporting responsible and sustainable development to benefit the local communities we operate in.
Reflecting on the event, Emiral’s General Director in Mauritania, Dmitrii Tocarev said:
“We would like to thank the organisers of Mining On Top Africa, the Mauritanian delegation and all those who took the time to engage with our team during the conference. Mining on Top Africa provided an excellent opportunity to engage with key stakeholders who share a common interest in the future of Mauritania’s mining sector.”
“What stood out the most was the quality of the conversations and the desire to collaborate throughout the delegation. We were able to strengthen existing relationships, establish new connections and continue to build the partnerships that will support the next phase of growth for the industry and country.”
The positive engagement experienced throughout Mining On Top Africa 2026 reflects the strength of the relationships that continue to develop between Emiral and our partners across Mauritania’s mining sector.
The discussions we held in Paris will continue long after the event itself and will help shape the future opportunities and strengthen collaboration across the sector.
As Mauritania’s mining industry continues to grow, strong partnerships will remain fundamental to its success. Emiral looks forward to continuing its relationship with the Mauritanian delegation and playing its part in the country’s next chapter of mining and industrial development.
