About Exxaro
Formerly known as Kumba Resources Limited, Exxaro Resources Limited is a large coal and heavy minerals mining company based in South Africa. Headquartered in Pretoria, South Africa, Exxaro operates facilities and offices not only in Africa but also in Asia, Europe and Australia. Exxaro is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE).
Exxaro’s history traces way back to 1928 when the company was named Iscor. It thrived throughout the decades and flourished into a much bigger company. In 2001, the company reorganized its divisions resulting that iron ore, coal, mineral sands, base metals, and industrial metals divisions to be listed as Kumba Resources. Five years later, Kumba Resources unbundled and Kumba Iron Ore was listed separately. Meanwhile, Kimba’s coal and other assets merged with Eyesizwe Coal to create Exxaro.
In the last decade, Exxaro has established itself as an organization that is respected by its peers for its innovation, ethics, and integrity. The company has achieved this by acknowledging that it exists in a greater contest.
Exxaro operations span 7 sites (including a JV with Anglo American) across the coal-rich provinces and produces high-quality thermal, metallurgical, and coking coal for both domestic and export markets. Driven by the goal of supporting South Africa’s growth through a steady local supply of this essential mineral, as well as the mandate of making South Africa’s coal sector more competitive on the international stage, every project Exxaro undertakes at these sites is guided by the need for constant improvement in people, processes and equipment to drive greater efficiencies.

Exxaro Graduates Programs
Exxaro’s 3-year professionals-in-training program, something graduates can consider doing once they have finished their studies, is a structured curriculum that blends academic theory with practical exposure in the workplace. Each graduate has a mentor who supervises their technical, leadership and management training at operations. Mentors also assist with fulfilling professional registration requirements.
The program’s annual intake comprises 80% former bursars, and 20% external candidates. After the 36-month period, participants are assisted in obtaining professional accreditation.
Literacy and Numeracy Training
In an industry where safety practices are predominantly communicated in written form, functional literacy is of utmost importance. With this in mind, all employeeswith qualifications below NQF level 1 are given the opportunity to undergo literacy and numeracy training. Where employees undertake tuition in their own time, they are incentivized for each level they complete successfully.
Mining for Schools Initiative
The Minerals Council South Africa has developed the Mining for Schools educational initiative – an online platform with resources for teachers and learners to reinforce, enhance, and extend learning about the South African mining industry. Focusing on coal, it sheds light on one of South Africa’s most abundant and valuable resources, which has been instrumental in South Africa’s development – not only for the mining sector but also for the broader industrialization of the country.
