Guinea, the world’s top bauxite exporter, plans to host the first edition of a major mining conference next year, the country’s presidency said in a statement.
The Simandou Mining Summit, starting Nov. 11, 2026, will showcase Guinea’s capacity to host a global mining event, following in the footsteps of forums such as Mining Indaba in South Africa, PDAC in Canada and the Bauxite & Alumina Conference in the US, according to the statement.
