#MiningMatters 2025

Mining powers South Africa’s economy, communities, and people. It’s more than minerals — it’s about investment, growth, jobs, and transformation.

Through taxes and royalties paid into the fiscus and export revenues, mining strengthens South Africa’s economy. It creates well-paid jobs, developing skills, and supporting community growth. Beyond its economic role, the industry provides opportunities, benefits, and infrastructure that make a real difference in people’s lives.

The Minerals Council South Africa, through its members, is committed to ensuring that the industry continues to contribute to our national priorities and growth story, while always prioritising safety and social and environmental sustainability through responsible mining.

#MiningMatters shines a light on the positive impact of mining and its contribution to South Africa’s economy and society. It provides accurate, honest, and balanced information, showing how mining supports economic growth, supports transformation and helps build a sustainable future for all.
