our people
The people building NewRand Resources, from Midrand, and how we hold ourselves to account.
South African, Accountable, In It For The Long Run
NewRand is a young company, and we like it that way. Our team brings together leadership, finance and operations, and we work alongside independent geologists, environmental specialists and community practitioners on every programme.
What unites us is a simple belief: that South Africa’s mineral wealth should be found carefully, reported honestly and shared fairly with the people who live on the land.
