Egypt Mining Forum expands strategic partnerships

Overview

The Egypt Mining Forum continues to advance its goal of ‘Unlocking the Exploratory Potential of Egypt and the Arab-Nubian Shield,’ with a recent focus on expanding strategic partnerships and technological exploration.

During the 2026 forum in Cairo, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi met with AngloGold Ashanti CEO Alberto Calderon to propose transitioning from a single-mine partnership at Sukari to a ‘comprehensive strategic partnership.’ This proposed expansion aims to encompass exploration, technology transfer, and local supply chain development, with the company indicating intent to increase investment across multiple sites.

Industry participants, such as platinum sponsor Lotus Gold Corporation, highlighted ongoing exploration in the Eastern Desert using modern international techniques. Additionally, the National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries (NIOF) presented capabilities for deep-sea mineral and petroleum exploration, noting the economic potential of marine resources at depths reaching 1,500 meters.

On a diplomatic level, the forum facilitated regional cooperation. The Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Minister of Mines, Louis Watum Kabamba, engaged with Egyptian and Saudi Arabian officials to discuss bilateral cooperation regarding investment stability, applied research, and geological data.
