The Bakwena Ba Mogopa sit atop some of the world’s most precious mineral reserves. Our approach to mining is defined by a shift from being mere “landowners” to being “strategic partners” in the global value chain.
The Vanadium Corridor: We hold a significant 26% equity stake in the Rhovan Vanadium Mine (operated by Glencore). Vanadium is a critical metal for the future of green energy and high-strength steel.
Platinum Group Metals (PGMs): Our ancestral lands fall within the western limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex, the world’s premier PGM deposit.
We ensure that every mining operation on our land contributes to local schools, clinics, and roads.
We hold our partners to the highest standards of land rehabilitation to ensure the earth remains fertile for future generations.
We prioritize businesses owned by Bakwena residents for mining supply chain opportunities (e.g., PPE, site cleaning, and haulage).
