The event, co-organized by the Angolan Embassy in the United Kingdom and the Ministry of Mineral Resources, Petroleum and Gas, will be opened by Minister Diamantino Azevedo, with the participation of members of the Angolan Executive, international investors, industry operators and experts.
According to a note received by ANGOP, the conference will present opportunities along the mineral resources value chain, highlighting Angola's still largely unexplored geological potential, as well as investment opportunities in the exploration and production of strategic minerals, focusing on diamonds, iron, copper and rare earths.
The note reflects that, within the oil and gas sector, opportunities in the "upstream" and "downstream" segments will be presented, including blocks available for exploration, production, and development of gas projects.
