About us
A South African mineral processing company
Black Rock Africa Resources is a South African mining and mineral processing company that treats every ton as part of one connected system — geology, extraction, processing, environment and people. Our flagship facility is a 100 TPH automated chrome washplant in the Brits industrial node, North West Province, designed to upgrade low-grade run-of-mine ore into export-ready concentrate while returning water, land and opportunity to the region.
Who we are
Built for disciplined delivery
Black Rock Africa Resources (Pty) Ltd is a registered South African company focused on the beneficiation of chrome and related bulk minerals. Our work spans run-of-mine handling, crushing, screening, washing and gravity concentration — delivering a saleable, export-ready product from ore that would otherwise remain stranded.
Delivery is managed through a formal project management office with a five-phase execution programme and independent validation gates. Capital is released only once the preceding phase has been signed off, which keeps engineering, regulatory and commercial risk under control.
We prioritise South African suppliers, local labour and skills transfer in the communities that host our operations, and we design environmental controls — closed-loop water, pollution control dams, engineered tailings — into the plant from the outset.
