Unlocking Gold from Forgotten Mines and Tailings
Mining Opportunities Across Southern Africa
Unlocking Gold, Sustainably and Strategically
Synterra Assets is a specialist acquirer, developer, and operator of gold tailings
assets across Southern Africa. We combine deep mining expertise with innovative
ESG-aligned processing technologies to recover high-value gold from historic tailings
dumps—turning dormant waste into long-term, revenue-generating assets.
Our mission is simple: to unlock stranded gold resources responsibly while
generating exceptional returns for our investors and partners.
Responsible Mining, Real Impact
At Synterra, we believe mining should deliver more than resources—it should create lasting value for communities and the environment. By re-mining tailings, we reduce contamination and restore land, ensuring a healthier ecosystem for the future.
Each project begins with a deep understanding of local geology, social context, and environmental impact, allowing us to turn legacy waste into new opportunities for growth. Our rehabilitation programs transform previously degraded areas into productive landscapes, supporting agriculture, biodiversity, and community use.
Why Gold Tailings Matter Now
Gold’s Rising Role in a Shifting Financial System
In an era of currency debasement, geopolitical volatility, and declining trust in central
bank policies, gold has re-emerged as the anchor of global financial security. Central
banks are accumulating record volumes of physical gold. Investors are turning back
to bullion as a hedge against systemic risk. And markets increasingly see gold not
only as a safe haven, but as a strategic reserve asset.
Yet while traditional mining projects face rising costs, regulatory complexity, and long
development timelines, gold tailings present a unique opportunity: vast quantities
of recoverable metal, already mined once, sitting in known and accessible deposits.
For investors, this creates a rare two-fold advantage:
1. Exposure to a strengthening gold market.
2. Participation in a lower-risk, faster-to-market mining strategy.
Building Africa's Next Generation of Gold Developers
Synterra is driven by a bold vision to become a leading developer of sustainable gold projects across Africa — projects that not only extract value from the ground but also build prosperity above it. Our approach is rooted in long-term thinking, operational excellence, and an unwavering commitment to responsible resource development. We believe mining should strengthen economies, empower communities, and protect the environment rather than compromise it.
For investors, this translates into reliable and bankable growth supported by strong governance, strategic project selection, and disciplined execution. We focus on brownfield and tailings re-mining opportunities that offer both lower risk and attractive upside in a high-gold-price environment.
For communities, our work creates real pathways to progress. We prioritize local hiring, invest in skills training, and help build essential infrastructure — from roads and power to water and community facilities — that enable sustainable development well beyond the mine site.
And for the environment, our model represents a responsible alternative to conventional mining. By re-mining and rehabilitating previously disturbed land, we reduce contamination, restore ecosystems, and ensure that natural resources are preserved for future generations. Every project is designed to leave the land stronger, cleaner, and more resilient than before.
