Egypt Mining Forum 2026 to Drive Investment and Exploration in Egypt’s Mining Sector

Building on the success of the 2025 edition, the Egypt Mining Forum returns to Cairo on 20–21 July 2026, reaffirming its position as the premier mining conference and exhibition in North Africa. Hosted by the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources and supported by the Egyptian Mineral Resources & Mining Industries Authority (EMRA), the Forum serves as the official platform for driving dialogue, investment, and innovation across Egypt’s fast-evolving mining landscape.

The 2025 edition welcomed over 5,000 attendees, including 300+ delegates, 80+ international speakers, and 70+ exhibiting companies, spotlighting Egypt’s bold regulatory reforms and growing global investor interest.

The 2026 Egypt Mining Forum will focus on unlocking the country’s vast mineral potential—particularly in the Eastern Desert—by exploring key developments in policy, geological data access, infrastructure, and financing mechanisms.

A major highlight will be the continued implementation of the Mineral Exploitation Agreement Model, which provides a transparent, streamlined, and investor-friendly framework that aligns with global best practices. This model is designed to attract junior exploration companies, mining operators, and strategic investors, ensuring long-term value creation and economic growth.

As Egypt works towards its Vision 2040 to increase mining’s contribution to 6% of GDP, the Forum presents a vital opportunity for stakeholders to connect, collaborate, and capitalise on new exploration and production opportunities across gold, base metals, phosphates, rare earth elements, and more.
