The annual Electra Mining, Botswana’s mining, industrial, electrical and power trade show will this year take place on September 12-14th 2017 at the Gaborone Fairgrounds. Creating a platform to stimulate trade in these sectors, Electra Mining Botswana offers an excellent networking opportunity for local and international service providers, industry associations, government officials and mining, industrial and energy professionals.
