MTE Catalogues Letlhakane, Palapye and Jwaneng 2017 | Page 3

A MESSAGE FROM THE ORGANISER

Botswana is the world ' s largest producer of diamonds and , by carefully managing their diamond reserves , Botswana has become one of the most stable and wealthiest countries in terms of human development and quality of life , in sub-Saharan Africa .

Mining & Technical Exhibitions will be visiting three of Botswana ’ s popular mining towns . Letlhakane , home to the country ’ s most profitable mines ; Palapye , where the mine that is the primary source of electricity in the country is located , as well as Jwaneng , where the richest diamond mine in the world is found .

MTE has been a brand in Botswana for over 10 years , and the team is looking forward to bringing industry experts together in a unique way . Other mines in surrounding towns will also be in attendance , ready to rub shoulders with the best in the industry .

For those who are not familiar with MTE , this travelling exhibitions company has been running for over two decades , providing a unique platform for suppliers of top-of-the-line mining and industrial equipment to showcase their goods to a community hungry for new technology , services and information – right on its doorstep .

We trust the expo will be a rewarding experience – whether you are visiting or exhibiting . However , the organisers are always open to suggestions as to how we can make future expos even more accommodating for you and your business .
