ABOUT THE BURSARY PROVIDER – EVANDER GOLD MINING

Evander Gold Mining Bursary South Africa | In 1951, the Evander gold field was discovered, with the sinking of the Evander Gold Mines’ first shafts commencing in 1956.

To date, the mine consists of approximately 1630 workers, with this number including the company’s contractors.

Pan African Resources PLC primarily produces gold, with its principal business operation being the Barberton Mines gold mining project. The Barberton Mines has a vast history of more than 100 years within the mining sector, consisting of flagship mines: Fairview, Consort, and Sheba Mines.

Pan African Resources mines and sells a number of valuable minerals, most notably coal and platinum. The company prides itself on its core business priority of sustainability, stating it to be a crucial factor in its successful business operation.
