Pan African Resources (PAFRF) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Pan African Resources is a South Africa–focused gold mining and exploration company with diversified operations in the country’s prolific Witwatersrand and Barberton mining districts. The company’s core business activities include the extraction, processing and sale of gold from both conventional hard rock mines and retreatment of tailings. Through its flagship Evander Gold Mines and Barberton Mines operations, Pan African produces saleable gold doré bars while continuously investing in exploration and development projects to extend mine life and enhance production efficiency.

In addition to conventional mining, Pan African Resources operates a significant tailings retreatment plant at the Elikhulu Complex, which recovers gold from historic waste material and contributes to both sustainable resource utilization and environmental rehabilitation. The company employs modern processing technologies, including carbon-in-leach (CIL) circuits and gravity recovery systems, to optimize recovery rates and reduce operating costs. Exploration activities surround existing sites and target adjacent greenfield areas with the potential for new satellite deposits.

Founded in 2003 under its current name following a series of strategic asset acquisitions, Pan African has grown from a single-mine operator into one of South Africa’s leading midtier gold producers. Key milestones include the acquisition of the Evander Complex in 2007 and the incorporation of Barberton Mines in 2012, diversifying the company’s asset base and production profile. Headquartered in Sandton, Johannesburg, Pan African is dual-listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange, with an over‐the‐counter listing in the United States.

Leadership is anchored by Chief Executive Officer Cobus Loots, whose experience spans engineering, operations management and strategic planning in the mining sector. Under his direction, Pan African Resources continues to pursue disciplined growth through targeted exploration, operational optimization and stringent environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices, reinforcing its commitment to delivering value to shareholders and host communities across South Africa.
