WHAT DOES EVANDER MINES DO?

In 1951, the Evander gold field was discovered, with the sinking of the Evander Gold Mines’ first shafts commencing in 1956. Shortly thereafter, a gold pour followed in 1958, and decades later (in February 2013) the Evander Gold mines assets were acquired by Pan African Resources. To date, the mine consists of approximately 1630 workers, with this number including the company’s contractors.

Pan African Resources PLC primarily produces gold, with its principal business operation being the Barberton Mines gold mining project. The Barberton Mines has a vast history of more than 100 years within the mining sector, consisting of flagship mines: Fairview, Consort, and Sheba Mines.

Pan African Resources mines and sells a number of valuable minerals, most notably coal and platinum. The company prides itself on its core business priority of sustainability, stating it to be a crucial factor in its successful business operation. Pan African Resources believes that various challenges such as energy efficiency, climate change, and resource scarcity are just a number of sustainability issues that mining companies must learn to combat for successful operations.
