Our Strategy
Acquiring High-Quality Gold Tailings Across Southern Africa
Synterra Assets systematically identifies, evaluates, and acquires gold tailings
dumps with strong metallurgical recoveries and long-term scalability. Our focus
regions—including South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Mozambique—contain
some of the world’s richest historic mining footprints, where millions of tonnes of
tailings contain measurable gold values.
Using detailed due diligence, resource modeling, and sampling programs, we target
tailings projects with:
- Proven grades and significant contained ounces
- Proximity to processing infrastructure or power
- Clear permitting pathways
- Strong ESG impact potential
- Attractive acquisition terms for distressed ownership situations that once secured, these assets become the foundation of a long-term, revenue-
producing portfolio diversified across jurisdictions and ore types.
Our Vision

We believe mining should be more than extraction — it should foster long-term growth. That’s why Synterra prioritizes sustainability, transparent governance, and community partnerships in every project we pursue.
