Dakar Mining Week 2018 — IMS on the exhibition floor

West African mining’s annual gathering in Senegal: networking, technical sessions, and new partnerships.

IMS Communications·Newsroom

The Salon des mines de Dakar remains a reference event for francophone West Africa. In 2018, Inter-Mining Services joined peers from drilling, logistics, engineering, and mine operations to explore partnerships and technology trends shaping the next cycle of projects.

Focus areas

  • Earthmoving and long-haul productivity
  • Tailings and water infrastructure delivery models
  • Local workforce development alongside major producers

IMS conversations at the salon often begin with schedule risk and end with practical mobilisation questions: equipment mix, supervision depth, and how we protect communities near active corridors.

Partnerships forged in Dakar frequently translate into field teams sharing the same safety standards six months later — that continuity is what we optimise for.
