Kloof Gold Mine

The Kloof gold mine is an ultra-deep underground gold mining and processing operation located in the Gauteng province of South Africa. Sibanye-Stillwater, a multi-national precious metals mining company based in South Africa, is the owner and operator of the mine.

While mining activities in the project area are traced back to the late 19th century, the Kloof gold mine was established through the merger of several pre-existing operations including Ventersdorp, Libanon, Leeudoorn, and Kloof in 2000.

Gold Fields was the previous owner of the Kloof gold mine. Sibanye-Stillwater (formerly Sibanye Gold) became the owner and operator of the Kloof, Driefontein and Beatrix gold mines after Sibanye was formed as a separate company by spinning off Gold Fields' subsidiary GFI Mining South Africa (GFIMSA) in February 2013.

Kloof’s mining right covers a total area of 20,087ha and is valid until January 2027. The current mineral reserves of the mine are expected to support production until 2033.
