Sydney (Nabaa Sudan) – The Director-General of the Sudanese General Authority for Geological Research, geologist Ahmed Haroun Al-Tom, said Sudan’s participation in the International Mining and Resources Conference and Exhibition (IMARC 2026), being held in Sydney, Australia, from October 27 to 29, was “not merely about attendance, but represents an important step toward strengthening Sudan’s presence on the global mining map.”
In a press statement on Tuesday, Haroun said the conference brings together leading experts, investors, and institutions in the mining sector, providing a platform for exchanging knowledge and expertise, exploring cooperation opportunities, and building strategic partnerships.
He explained that Sudan’s participation aims to showcase the country’s promising mineral wealth and significant investment potential, which could serve as “a fundamental pillar for supporting economic development and achieving a more prosperous future.”
Haroun stressed that, if its resources are properly developed on the basis of sound scientific principles, modern technologies, sustainability standards, and good governance, the mining sector could support the national economy, create jobs, facilitate knowledge and technology transfer, and strengthen public-private partnerships.
He said the participation also offers an opportunity to build ties with international institutions and companies, learn about the latest global mining practices and experiences, and work toward turning available investment opportunities into practical projects and partnerships that generate added value, contribute to the development of Sudan’s mineral resources, and maximize their economic returns.
Haroun expressed hope that Sudan’s participation would open up new horizons for cooperation and investment, serve the country’s national interests, and strengthen its position in the global mining industry.
