Genesis
Kalahari Resources was founded in 2001 by a group of South African black women entrepreneurs to pursue investments in the mining sector. The company was established with a long-term vision to participate meaningfully in South Africa's mineral economy. This marked the foundation for what would later become one of the country's flagship black women-led mining investments.
