From November 22 to 24, 2022, the “MOURABITOUNES” International Conference Center hosted the launch ceremony of the sixth edition of the “Mauritanides 2022” exhibition. A meeting dedicated to mines and hydrocarbons.

The event, which has been part of the tradition for ten years, saw the participation of 2,000 national and foreign individuals (decision makers, representatives of mining and oil companies, experts, members of civil society, etc.), with 50 conferences on the program.

In his speech, the Minister of Petroleum, Energy and Mines, Abdessalam Mohamed Saleh, set the context for the 2022 Mining Show. For him, this exhibition “comes after a series of economic shocks starting with the crisis caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which has led to an unprecedented economic slowdown for the global economy and a drop in most development indicators. Then, the energy crisis following the war in Ukraine, which caused a vertiginous rise in energy prices and profound disruptions in the supply chain around the world, highlighting the importance of energy security, which has become an extreme priority for all states.”
