The 5th edition of the West African Mining Week (Semaine des Activités minières d’Afrique de l’Ouest – SAMAO) will be held this year from 28 to 30 September 2023 under the theme: “Mining in Africa: what strategy to impact the development of local economies”. It is organised by the Burkina Faso Ministry of Energy, Mines and Quarries in partnership with SEMICA.

A national organising committee is hard at work to ensure the success of the event. The committee is chaired by Jean-Baptiste Kaboré, Secretary General of the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Quarries. As part of the preparations for the event, the national organising committee will soon be holding a press conference. SAMAO is a mining promotion business. It contributes to developing the mining potential of African countries, presents business opportunities and attracts investors. In addition to the opening ceremony, the SAMAO programme includes plenary and group panels, exhibitions and field visits.
