Leading the conversation on the future of mining<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

We proudly participated in the 2025 Joburg Indaba held in October, one of South Africa\u2019s most influential mining engagements. The focus this year was on the future of mining, and Exxaro played a key role in shaping that conversation.<\/p>\n

Our CEO, Ben Magara, shared Exxaro\u2019s strategic direction including \u00a0how we are building a resilient, future-fit business in a fireside chat with moderator Bernard Swanepoel. He spoke about how we are growing and diversifying our portfolio while staying true to our purpose of powering better lives.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\u201cWe are doubling our renewable energy business. We still have coal, and we are growing our transition-metals portfolio because manganese is key to battery technology,<\/strong><\/em>\u201d \u00a0<\/strong>Ben said.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

His message reinforced Exxaro\u2019s direction to strengthen our coal business, which continues to support South Africa\u2019s energy needs, expand our renewable energy footprint by doubling capacity from 229 to 450 megawatts by 2027, and invest in transition minerals such as manganese to meet global demand for clean-energy and battery technologies.<\/p>\n

Our Finance Director, Riaan Koppeschaar, also participated in a panel discussion about the factors that influence investor confidence and mining companies\u2019 capital allocation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
