Keep more value in Africa. Part of Kgolo's mineral beneficiation in Africa marketplace. DIVE stage led: Value.
The Beneficiate pillar
What it is
Beneficiate is the pillar for turning raw minerals and mining by-products into higher-value products on the continent: processing, refining, manufacturing, recycling and the circular economy. It is where the marketplace moves from selling what is dug up to selling what is made.
Strategic objective
What it is for
To connect processors, manufacturers, recyclers, equipment suppliers and offtakers so that more steps of the value chain, and more of the margin, are done by African businesses and stay in African communities.
In the marketplace
What it means
Beneficiate lists capacity (what a plant can process or make), demand (what a buyer will take) and by-products (what a mine or business needs to recover value from). It links these to Invest for capital and Trade for markets, including Gulf buyers and trading houses.
DIVE in this pillar
From need to value, one stage at a time
Every listing, deal and project follows the same four stages. How DIVE works.
Discover
Identify what can be processed locally and what is leaving the country unprocessed.
Innovate
Match recovery, recycling and processing technology to the need.
Value
Present investable beneficiation projects with local jobs and offtake attached.
Exchange
Connect finished and semi-finished products to regional and international buyers.

Deal Room
The Beneficiate Deal Room
