Mining and Exploration

Quality exploration targets

We identify mineral exploration prospects within metallogenic belts such as the Kalahari Manganese fields and the Bushveld Igneous Complex in South Africa. We use advanced geological techniques for mineral target generation and tenement selection.

Exploration drilling

We conduct exploration drilling campaigns in mineral tenements with low-risk profiles and high discovery probabilities. All of our exploratory drilling is supported by robust geological analysis and evaluation.

Manganese and iron ore resource base

Our primary goal is to invest in the exploration and acquisition of manganese and iron ore assets in critical areas such as the Northern Cape. Our long-term objective is to position Kwekwe Investments as a reputable, market-leading manganese and iron ore miner. Our secondary focus is on pursuing other mineral commodities, specifically Chrome and Coal assets, to diversify our mineral resources portfolio.

Mineral Processing

Our mineral processing and beneficiation unit provides mineral processing services for Run-Of-Mine (ROM) ore to smelting-ready concentrate. We specialise in the processing of manganese, iron ore, chrome, PGM ore and tailings, and coal using mobile and modular (fixed) concentrator plants. Our goal: to develop localised mineral processing capacity and capabilities to stimulate broader participation across the mineral resource value chain in South Africa.

Mineral processing services:

Turnkey processing plant solutions

We construct, commission, and hand over a completed and optimised mineral processing plant.

Complete processing package

We invest in the development and commissioning of the entire processing plant and auxiliary facilities, and we’ll enter into agreeable service terms to process your Run-Of-Mine ore. This package is designed to empower junior miners to enter into mining production with minimal costs in infrastructure ownership.

Contract mineral processing

We create contract processing arrangements with mineral tenement holders, to operate and maintain processing plants. The fees are payable on the cost per ton delivered.

Road freight services

We offer end-to-end road logistics solutions for bulk mineral commodities. Our road freight division has a vast transport fleet, including 34-ton tipper trucks and trailers capable of transporting bulk ore over long distances.

Our road freight fleet is supported by:

  • 24-hour workshops close to our areas of operations
  • Experienced mechanics and technicians
  • 24-hour road technical support
  • Truck surveillance and route management systems

Rail freight solutions

Kwekwe Bulk Ore Logistics is securing a sizable TFR rail wagon allocation from Transnet Freight Rail (TFR), predominately for transporting iron ore, manganese and coal from inland mining operations to coastal ports for export. TFR rail wagons allocation is part of Transnet Private Sector Participation (PSP), where private logistics companies directly invest and operate allocated railroad routes. Kwekwe bulk ore is well-positioned to become a major manganese and iron ore transporter under this allocation scheme.
