From modest beginnings in precious metals trading, RBM Group has evolved into a diversified mining and commodities business with interests spanning mining operations, processing infrastructure, refining, logistics and international trade.
Sixteen years from a Johannesburg retail counter to a vertically integrated resources group.
RBM Group’s origins began within the precious metals sector through the trading and processing of scrap gold jewellery via two standalone retail operations in the Johannesburg CBD. This foundational period established the Group’s early commercial expertise in bullion markets, precious metals valuation and customer distribution networks.
As market demand accelerated, the Group expanded into national retail distribution of investment-grade bullion bars and Krugerrand coins, launching its digital sales platform and online retail infrastructure — significantly broadening market reach and operational scalability.
The retail bullion division achieved monthly sales volumes exceeding 15,000 ounces. This rapid expansion led to the establishment of RBM Group’s global wholesale trading division, positioning the business within larger international precious metals markets.
RBM Group established corporate offices in Sandton and diversified into mining, refining and resource-based joint venture operations. Through partnerships spanning nine countries, the Group expanded its operational footprint across the broader mining and commodities value chain.
The Group evolved into a vertically integrated mining and commodities enterprise spanning mining operations, mineral processing, refining coordination and international export distribution, with an operational presence in both South Africa and the United Arab Emirates.
The acquisition of a mining permit in Mpumalanga marked a significant milestone in operational expansion within the South African mining sector. To support long-term production growth, the Group acquired a multi-million-rand mineral processing facility to enhance processing capacity and operational efficiency.
A new phase of growth through the establishment of RBM Chrome and PGM, focused on chromium and platinum group metal operations in Mooinooi, North West Province — alongside construction of a state-of-the-art 150 ton-per-hour chromium wash plant, a major infrastructure investment in chrome beneficiation.
RBM Group continues to expand its mining, processing and international trade operations through strategic infrastructure investments, operational partnerships and sustainable growth initiatives — committed to building a globally recognised African resources enterprise focused on operational excellence, responsible mining and long-term value creation.
We continue to seek operational partnerships, joint ventures and off-take relationships across the resources value chain.
