Background
We would like to invite you to attend the XXXII International Mineral Processing Congress in Cape Town, South Africa from 18-22 October 2026. IMPC 2026 will be hosted by the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM). Mining is of great importance to Africa in general, and particularly to Southern Africa. Africa accounts for a major portion of the world's mineral reserves and more than half of gold, platinum group metals, cobalt and diamonds. Southern Africa produces over two-thirds of Africa's mineral exports by value.
