At Mining and Agriculture Africa, our commitment to excellence and sustainability sets us apart. Our legacy began in 1881 when our pioneering founders discovered borates in the harsh conditions of Black Rock Mine, South Africa. Despite the unforgiving terrain and climate, our 20 mule teams successfully transported more than 15 million pounds of borax to the railhead near Cape without losing a single team member or mule.
Over the past 150 years, we have developed a deep respect for Black Rock’s unique beauty and geological makeup. Today, our Sustainable Development program guides our commitment to environmental preservation and safety practices, which form the foundation of our operating principles.
Our current industrial-scale operations in Africa are built on the principles of sustainability and efficiency. We continually strive to reduce our water and energy usage, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental impact while safeguarding the health and well-being of our employees.
