Mwana Africa PLC is a pan-African resources company established in October 2005. It is the first African-owned, African-managed business in this sector to be listed on the London Stock Exchange’s Alternative Investments Market (AIM).
The company was formed through a reverse takeover of African Gold plc, the AIM-listed African gold exploration and mining company, by a privately held mining company, Mwana Africa Holdings (Pty) Limited.
With operations and exploration activities in Zimbabwe, and a broad range of exploration and development projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Ghana, the asset base is diverse — gold, nickel, copper, zinc, cobalt and, more recently, diamonds and oil and gas. The company intends to pursue further mining opportunities across the African continent, both independently and, where appropriate, in partnership with other stakeholders.
