Speech from the Minister of Mines
It is an honour and a great pleasure for me to address you during the Official Opening Ceremony of this 1st International Mining
Exhibition of Senegal in virtual mode. First, allow me to thank and congratulate all the members of the Organising Committee
and our partner AmeTrade Limited for their prowess in holding this meeting, against all odds. I say bravo to you, because it was
not easy, with these successive and untimely waves of Covid, that does not want to let go, to define an objective, to maintain it,
to work towards it despite an uncertain situation which has taken away so many ideas, dreams, and loving people, in Senegal,
in Africa and throughout the world. (…)
I would like to urge you to continue the reflections beyond this meeting, to reach a strong consensus on the real challenges
of post-Covid mining in our countries and to propose any direction aimed at maximising the contribution of mining and other
quarries to the local land development and the economy, while ensuring transparency as indicated by bodies such as the EITI.
(…)
I hope that, together with all the stakeholders in the sector, we will commit ourselves, with the same values, the same ambitions,
and the same objectives, to making the system of governance of our mining resources more efficient and to developing
frameworks for exchange and consultation conducive to mining operations that are socially acceptable, economically profitable,
and ecologically sustainable. (…) Thank you for your kind attention.

SIM SENEGAL SUMMIT SUMMARY
SIM Senegal Virtual Summit covered, over the 2-days of the event, several focused themes of debate around aspects that effect
the mining sector in Senegal, as well as the impact of Covid 19 and opportunities to strengthen the Senegalese mining industry
for sustainability and growth..
Session 1 focused on management of equalization and local development funds, growth plans for mining facilities, encouraging
the long-term business communities’ participation in the exploitation of mineral resources which are relevant for developing
mechanisms for optimizing socio-economic benefits for communities, as well as the importance of ensuring transparency in
community-support actions, mentoring women who are active in gold mining in order to assist them to be more resilient, and
promote the implementation of innovative mechanisms for effective monitoring. During this debate speakers also referred to the
importance of strengthening the framework for transparent and open dialogue to better align business actions with the needs
expressed by local communities (Local Development Plan).
Session 2
The virtual summit highlighted the importance of the
legislation to regulate local content by setting minimum
requirements to ensure the optimal use of local resources
in the mining, the harmonization of procurement practices
of mining companies through a repository for contracting
and communication of needs, developing capacity-building
plans, grouping agreements and relationships to facilitate
collaboration between suppliers in the impacted regions
and those in the capital, who are generally better structured
and more qualified to perform certain services; valuing
Senegalese staff through fair wage treatment, rigorous
implementation and monitoring of succession plans and
promotion of Senegalese executives, develop a public-
private partnership between the local, national, community
and even international providers for the sharing of
experiences and the transfer of know-how and technology,
and strengthen the regulatory role of the state (protection of
the interests of suppliers and subcontractors).

SIM SENEGAL SUMMIT SUMMARY
The creation of innovative solutions for social inclusion and women’s
empowerment, was discussed during session 3, which bought together
different stakeholders from the mining sector (administration, mining
companies, women’s associations and civil society). The panellists
highlighted the following recommendations: the creation of support such
as training in entrepreneurship and leadership, career plans and activate
legal, social, medical, and organizational levels of support for women in
mines. To achieve this purpose, it was suggested that stakeholders should
work towards the creation of relevant platforms, develop best practices in
mining companies, and strengthening women’s empowerment through
networking.
The second day of debates focused on technological innovation for
the resilience of mining companies, on the need to transform existing
infrastructure into hybrid infrastructure, the importance of creating better
community involvement, specifically those impacted by mining project
opportunities. During the session 4 it was equally emphasized that
the establishment of a scientific network of excellence was needed, as
well as identifying scientific priorities and the creation of a good system
for mitigating the possible implications of technological innovations on
employability and employment opportunities.
Session 5 was focused on the “Future of the mining industry in Senegal, what are the next steps”, representing a link between
the exploitation of natural gas in Senegal and our natural resources for more value and greater diversification, highlighting
the transformation of resource, the articulation of natural gas development and natural resources for greater value-added and
diversification, developing a future strategy on gas use, studying environmental issues and the location of mining sites and
creating infrastructure for ease of access.
Mrs Rokhaya Samba, Director of Prospection and Mining Promotion at the Ministry of Mines and Geology of Senegal,
concluded the day 2 of SIM Senegal Virtual Summit, emphasizing the local content that had the upper hand several
times during the event, throughout all the sessions.
