BDM Jani van Rensburg reports on the mood at Joburg Indaba 2025: Cautious optimism. While major investment in Critical Minerals like PGMs and Manganese is planned, achieving global competitiveness requires urgent action. The industry is united: to unlock South Africa’s true potential, we must first stabilize Electricity, Logistics, and Legislation.
VBKOM's Executive Team attended Mining Indaba 2025 in Cape Town. Key discussions focused on critical minerals, energy transition, and sustainable mining practices.
VBKOM was successfully showcased at the 16th West African Mining and Power Expo (WAMPEX), which was hosted at the Accra International Conference Centre in Ghana from 1 to 3 June 2022.
Group CEO, Manie Kriel, attended the eighth annual Junior Indaba, which took place on 1 and 2 June 2022 at the Country Club Johannesburg in Auckland Park. This year the organisers created a hybrid event that allowed people to attend both in-person and online.
The long-standing professional relationship between VBKOM and Kudumane Manganese Resources (KMR) dates back to 2010. Since then, VBKOM has been involved with numerous assignments for KMR and its parent entity, Asia Minerals Limited (AML).
A geological model forms the foundation of the mining value chain, upon which all resultant assumptions are based – from initial target delineation to Mineral Resource estimation to final reserving and metallurgical processing.
The mining industry is one of South Africa’s most vital contributors when it comes to economic growth, but at what environmental cost?
The VBKOM team of experts can help you identify, understand, and manage your ESG risks into investment analysis that offer long-term advantages in the mining sector.
VBKOM was commissioned by one of South Africa’s leading mining and minerals companies to give Mine Planning and Design training to a group of their senior members.
