Exxaro Resources is a leading South African diversified resources group primarily engaged in the exploration, mining and marketing of coal and various heavy mineral products. The company’s core operations are centered on open‐cast coal mining, serving both the thermal and metallurgical markets. In addition to coal, Exxaro has interests in minerals such as titanium dioxide feedstocks and iron ore, reflecting its strategy to maintain a balanced portfolio across energy and industrial minerals.
Headquartered in Pretoria, Exxaro operates a network of mines in the Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces of South Africa, notably the Grootegeluk mine near Lephalale, which contributes to both local energy generation and export markets. The company supplies coal to major utilities and industrial customers, while its mineral sands and iron ore products find applications in global steel, pigment and specialty industries. Exxaro also explores opportunities in renewable energy and power generation to support its long‐term sustainability objectives.
Formed in October 2006, Exxaro emerged as a transformation vehicle in the South African mining industry, integrating assets from Kumba Resources and Eyesizwe Coal under a broad-based empowerment structure. Over the years, the company has expanded its footprint through strategic partnerships and joint ventures in neighbouring countries and export markets. Exxaro’s approach emphasizes responsible mining, with ongoing investment in environmental management, community development and safety initiatives.
Under the leadership of CEO Mxolisi Mgojo, Exxaro continues to focus on operational excellence and value creation. The management team is supported by an experienced board of directors committed to governance best practices and stakeholder engagement. By aligning its business activities with global energy transitions and local socio‐economic priorities, Exxaro aims to deliver sustainable returns while contributing to the development of South Africa’s mining sector.
