📣 Angola has become our 86th member country. This marks the beginning of a journey sharing expertise to strengthen mining governance so that the mineral sector in Angola contributes meaningfully to sustainable development. More 👉 igfmining.org/announcement/a…

Our latest training page is live. ⛏️ It breaks down our workshop in Dakar on gender equality in artisanal and small-scale mining. The resource covers everything from health and safety challenges to inclusive governance in the UEMOA region. Read it here: igfmining.org/country-suppor…

🚨 Our new country profile factsheets on critical minerals spotlight key bottlenecks, strengths, and opportunities across producer countries to support better policies, investment, and regional cooperation. The first in the series features Canada. 🔗 igfmining.org/resource/count…

Canada is a major mining nation with significant reserves of critical minerals. Our new country profile distills data on reserves, trade, energy mix, and gender in mining, and flags priorities for more sustainable, inclusive value chains. 🔗 igfmining.org/resource/count…

NEW | @NRCan has committed funding to support the IGF. This agreement will support the IGF’s core operations & the launch of the IGF Mining Academy, a global initiative designed to strengthen institutional capacity across the mining sector. 👉 igfmining.org/announcement/c…

How can we make mineral supply chains more resilient, responsible & future-ready? 🌍 Experts at the Sustainability Forum during #PDAC2026 explored ways to strengthen links from mine to market through diversification, responsible sourcing & climate-aligned investment.

The accelerating energy & digital transitions have put minerals at the heart of economic and geopolitical strategies. At #PDAC2026, the first Sustainability Forum panel explored how mineral strategies can move beyond extraction toward shared, lasting value.

Critical minerals are reshaping global value chains. Producer countries need good data to collaborate & capture benefits. Our 🆕 country profile factsheets offer snapshots of strengths, challenges, & opportunities, starting with Canada. 🔗 igfmining.org/resource/count…

Clarifying waste rock and tailing ownership, managing environmental liabilities, and adopting international best practices are 🔑 to ensuring remining efforts deliver socio-economic benefits while protecting communities and ecosystems.

Waste rock can also be revalorized for construction materials, contributing to circular economy goals and improved resource efficiency. Participants discussed the legal, regulatory, and environmental considerations that must be addressed to unlock this potential responsibly.

📣 At #MiningIndaba2026, the IGF explored mining waste management & critical mineral supply. With the right governance frameworks, reprocessing mining waste can strengthen critical mineral supply chains & help transition the sector to a more sustainable & resilient future.

Thanks to the @MtmUct and @BHPFoundation for inviting the IGF to take part in this fascinating and important discussion on mineral governance funding.

For many communities, & particularly women, ASM is the sole viable source of income available to them. Targeted investment in ASM governance represents a cost-effective way to improve social inclusion, environmental performance, security, and gender outcomes.

At #MiningIndaba2026, the IGF’s Ege Tekinbas explained why investing in ASM formalization matters. Formalizing ASM can: 📈 Improve life for miners & families ✅ Increase access to healthcare & social security 🔒 Strengthen alignment with environmental & social impact principles

Investors can handle shifting rules if governments build a reputation for pragmatism and engaging industry before changing policy.

Can Africa balance resource nationalism with investment certainty? At #MiningIndaba2026, IGF’s William Davis said govts aren’t out to get investors, but policies must be realistic about target sectors and ensure a favourable business environment.
