Company profile
About Glencore Xstrata
Glencore Xstrata was formed when Glencore and Xstrata merged in May 2013, formalising a long-standing relationship that already spanned ferroalloys, coal, nickel and cobalt. The combination brought together two major forces in global mining and commodity trading.
Across Africa, the group runs a diversified portfolio that reaches the continent's major minerals, from coal and base metals such as copper, nickel and zinc through to iron ore and platinum group metals. These are large, long-life operations, the kind that keep procurement open to suppliers over many years.
Africa Mining IQ follows 25 Glencore Xstrata assets across Africa, each carrying its own checked decision-maker contacts. Those assets range from bankable and feasibility studies up to producing mines, exactly the long-cycle spending a supplier wants to be early on. The picture connects to the wider field of coal mining in South Africa and the broader landscape of mining companies in South Africa.
