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.
Our Assets
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.
Our Mining Philosophy
Social Labor Plans (SLP):
We ensure that every mining operation on our land contributes to local schools, clinics, and roads.
Environmental Stewardship:
We hold our partners to the highest standards of land rehabilitation to ensure the earth remains fertile for future generations.
Local Procurement:
We prioritize businesses owned by Bakwena residents for mining supply chain opportunities (e.g., PPE, site cleaning, and haulage).
