Bühler will exhibit at the following regional MTE expos:
Gweru, Zimbabwe, 30 July: Gweru in central Zimbabwe is home to the Unki Mine, one of the largest platinum reserves in the country, producing around 6 000 oz/y. The mine is a mechanised, trackless, bord-and-pillar underground operation.

Solwezi, Zambia, 18 September: Solwezi is home to the Kansanshi copper-gold mine, the largest copper mine in Africa. Since it commenced operation in 2005, Kansanshi has attracted significant investments and expansions. The exhibition showcases various products and services related to the mining industry, including conveyor systems.
Kitwe, Zambia, 20 September: Kitwe is the second-largest city in Zambia, with a complex of mines on its north-western and western edges. Notably, Mopani Copper Mines has invested about $1.3 billion in mining operations in Zambia, with main operations at Mufulira and Nkana. These operations include underground mines, concentrators, smelters, and acid plants. Additionally, Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) operates open-pit and underground mines at Nchanga and Konkola.
Lephalale, Limpopo, 7 November: Lephalale is a coal mining town east of the Waterberg Coalfield and west of the Mokolo River.

The major power stations in the region are Medupi and Matimba.
MTE (Mining and Technical Exhibitions) celebrated its 30th anniversary last year. Since 1993, it has organised exhibitions at mines and industrial operations across Southern Africa. “If you are interested in mining, technology and industrial solutions, such events are certainly worth exploring. The MTE expos are a must,” concludes Anderson.
