As a mineral rich continent with untapped resources, Africa features prominently in the Group´s vision to expand and diversify. Application for prospecting 5 manganese ore farms have been accepted by the Government of South Africa. A Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) group holds 26% equity stake in them along with GRM.
Active discussions are being held with the government authorities in Zimbabwe and Mozambique for thermal coal, coking coal and other mineral prospects.
