Leading drilling and exploration specialist Rosond has confirmed that its Chief Executive Officer, Glen McGavigan, will be a panellist at Investing in African Mining Indaba 2026, taking place at the Cape Town International Convention Centre from 9 to 12 February.

McGavigan will participate in the Technology & Innovation Hub panel discussion titled ‘Drilling into the Future’ on Wednesday 11 February. Industry leaders will explore how digitalisation, artificial intelligence, automation, and real-time data analytics are reshaping exploration drilling across Africa and globally. The session will examine how these technologies are improving targeting accuracy, reducing environmental impact, and accelerating discovery in an increasingly complex mining landscape.

With more than 25 years’ experience across the mining value chain, McGavigan brings a deeply technical and strategic perspective to the discussion. Since his appointment as CEO of Rosond in January 2025, he has championed the use of advanced science, engineering excellence and innovation to unlock value for clients while supporting safer, more sustainable mining practices.

“Technology is no longer a future consideration for mining. It is a present-day imperative,” highlights McGavigan. “From AI-assisted decision-making to low-impact drilling solutions, innovation is fundamentally changing how we discover and develop orebodies, particularly in emerging and underexplored regions.”

African Mining Indaba is recognised as the continent’s leading mining investment and networking platform, bringing together mining companies, investors, policymakers and technology providers to shape the future of Africa’s mining sector. Rosond’s participation underscores its role as a thought leader in exploration drilling and its commitment to advancing future-facing mining solutions.
