The Annual mining Conference is the main flagship event of the Chamber of Mines of Zimbabwe. It is used as a platform for marketing, branding and engaging with stakeholders in the mining industry.

The event is an engagement platform, where key stake holders such as the government, financers and investors, and suppliers and mining houses convene to discuss pertinent issues affecting the mining industry as a whole. It is considered as one of the biggest events in the mining industry for networking and a precursor for the Chamber of Mines’ advocacy and lobbying business. The Annual general meeting and conference allows for brand visibility and promotes the voice of its members.

The Chamber of Mines through the SHE Committee promotes first aid in member mines. The objective is to achieve 100% first certification of all employees at members mines. The aim is to ensure that whoever gets injured at work can receive top class first aid service from those nearest to them.

In aiding the achievement of first aid competency, the Chamber of Mines organises annual first aid competitions where mines demonstrate their proficiency in rendering first aid in mock exercises. These competitions are supported by first aid service providers, NSSA and Ministry of Mines.

First aid competitions are also networking events where officials from various mines gather and exchange experiences while supporting the competing teams.

The competitions are held in June and September.
