The show attracts approximately 41 000 visitors from all over the world, which was the biggest show yet. Visitors include major decision makers from the Mining, Process Engineering, Power Generation, Civil Engineers and General industry in Southern Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and foreign countries. The exhibitors are International and local suppliers of equipment and services to the mining, power generation, mineral process, materials handling, manufacturing, safety, health & environmental, civil engineering & earthmoving sector.

The mining industry continues to experience major growth with new ventures, expansions and upgrades, and with South Africa hosting the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the country has embarked on major infrastructure projects that demand a massive input of supplies and machinery. This is good news for general industry beyond 2010, and for Electra Mining Africa," says John Kaplan, Managing Director for Specialised Exhibitions, organisers of Electra Mining Africa.

On the international calendar, Electra Mining Africa is ranked as the second largest mining show in the world and the biggest trade exhibition in southern Africa, and is a recognised gateway into Africa for local and global investors looking for new business opportunities in the mining, construction, industrial and power generation industries.
