annerman Energy’s VP of Market Strategy,

Olga Skorlyakova, attended this event in

Missouri, joining participants across the nuclear

fuel cycle, including utility fuel buyers, uranium

producers, investors, and analysts. Key sessions

explored the ongoing evolution of the fuel cycle,

efforts to establish new mining operations, and

the impact of global geopolitical shifts on nuclear

fuel markets. By addressing pressing topics in

uranium policy, nuclear fuel markets, and trade

dynamics this event offered participants critical

insights into both current challenges and future

opportunities in the industry.

amibian mining activity – and interest

therein – is higher than it’s ever been.

This was evident at the 11th Mining Expo &

Conference where halls were fully booked

and the conference venue itself had to move

to a tent setup outside the hall. The theme –

‘Green Shoots for Namibia’s Mining Industry:

a Season of Opportunity and Growth to Drive

Economic Expansion’ – set the tone for a

record attendance.

Namibian President-Elect, Netumbo Nandi

Ndaitwah, called on entrepreneurs to venture

into the production of nuclear energy to

benefit from the downstream value chain

activities, emphasising that the mining and

exploration sector contributes significantly

to government revenue. This increased from

N$4.4 billion in 2022 to N$6.8 billion in 2023.

Finalising the local content policy for the oil

and gas sector will ensure that Namibians

benefit from every part of the value chain.

“We are committed to maximising the

economic impact of our natural resources,

fostering local expertise, and ensuring that

the wealth generated from these industries

contributes directly to the prosperity of our

people,” she added.

The event certainly left many with a hunger

for more in 2025.

Bannerman Mining Resources Namibia received the Best Stand award

for a Development Company, a newly introduced category.
