Our Mining Operations

Building on experience in base metals, with a regional focus on chrome, gold and coal.

Overview

From mineral resource to regional market

Mining forms a foundational part of Eswatini Power Resources' industrial experience. The company's background in base metals informs how it approaches mineral opportunities: resources only create value when they are connected to buyers, logistics routes and functioning commodity markets.

Our regional model therefore considers the full chain — mineral development, cross-border trade, transport coordination and export access — across Zimbabwe, South Africa and Eswatini.

Country 01 · Zimbabwe

Chrome & Gold

Zimbabwe is one of the world's notable sources of chrome ore, and chrome is an essential input to metallurgical and industrial supply chains — particularly ferrochrome and stainless-steel production.

Gold, as a globally traded precious metal, remains one of the region's most significant mineral commodities. The company reports participation in chrome and gold activity in Zimbabwe, including engagement with export markets.

  • Chrome ore
  • Gold
  • Export-market engagement

Distribution & Logistics

South Africa's road, rail and port infrastructure makes it a strategic gateway for minerals moving out of the region. Within the company's activities, it serves as a distribution, shipping and logistics hub.

  • Regional commodity movement
  • Transport coordination
  • Distribution networks
  • Export supply-chain support
  • Access to shipping infrastructure
  • Cross-border trade
