The Kwale mineral sands mine in Kenya, which commenced production in 2013, has come to an end following depletion of the ore reserve in December 2024.
Focus is now on successful implementation of the Mine Closure Plan as approved by Kenya’s National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) with an emphasis on decommissioning, rehabilitation and restoration of mined out areas.
As operator of Kenya’s largest mining project, Base Resources believes it has set the benchmark for responsible mining, balancing economic contributions with environmental protection and community development. The company is proud of the legacy and reputation it developed in Kenya.
Base Resources is grateful for the support it received from the Government of Kenya and the Kwale County Government over the years, as well as the strong relationship that was developed with local community members. The company will forever be grateful to its staff, who over the years worked tirelessly on making the Kwale mine a success.
