Join WIMBIZSA

The future of mining is not only beneath the ground—it is also in what was left behind. Across South Africa and the African continent, millions of tonnes of tailings contain valuable minerals that can be recovered through responsible and environmentally sustainable technologies.

At WiMBIZSA (Women in Mining Business South Africa), membership is more than belonging to an organisation it is becoming part of a collaborative ecosystem that creates opportunities, facilitates strategic partnerships, and enables participation across the mining value chain. It is about moving women from participating at the margins of the mining value chain to ownership and leadership.

We connect women-owned businesses, professionals, project owners, investors, technology providers and strategic partners to unlock opportunities in circular mining economy through mineral recovery from tailings, new and existing mining, mineral processing, beneficiation, manufacturing and the circular mining economy.

Whether you are a student preparing for a career, a professional, a business owner, a mining company or an investor, WiMBIZSA provides a platform to connect, collaborate and grow.
