As one of the largest and foremost black-empowered resource companies in South Africa, we are continually positioning our business for growth. At present, most of our operations are located in Mpumalanga, Limpopo and the surrounding regions – spanning ten sites – and afford us the ability to mine coal, for both domestic and export markets, iron ore, ferrous and zinc, as well as produce wind energy.
Coal mining is Exxaro’s core operation, structured under four legal entities managed and operated by Exxaro. We also have a 50% joint venture with Anglo South Africa Capital Proprietary Limited (Anglo) in the Mafube operation and a 49% equity interest in Tumelo Coal Mines Proprietary Limited (Tumelo).
We also have an 11.97% effective equity interest in Richards Bay Coal Terminal Proprietary Limited (RBCT).
Exxaro also exports coal single products and blends within the African continent and international markets that include India, Pakistan, China, South Korea, Vietnam and parts of Europe.
Exxaro owns 21% of Sishen Iron Ore Company (SIOC). They are a leading supplier of high-quality iron ore to the global steel industry and a subsidiary of Kumba Iron Ore Limited (KIO).
Exxaro owns 26% of Black Mountain Mining (BMM), a zinc-led business, and continues to evaluate its options.
In April 2020, we acquired full ownership of Cennergi from Tata Power, giving us access to both the Amakhala Emoyeni Wind Farm (AE01) project and the Tsitsikamma Community Development Wind Farm (TCWF) development project.
Cennergi was awarded preferred bidder status for these on-shore wind projects under the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy’s (DMREs) Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP).
