Cobus Loots

Executive Director (CEO) Pan African Resources

A chartered accountant by profession, and also a CFA^® Charterholder, Cobus Loots, CEO of Pan African Resources, has many years of experience in the African mining sector. He has been a director of Pan-African Resources since 2009, serving as Financial Director from 2013 until his appointment as CEO in March 2015. 

Under Cobus’ tenure, Pan African has transformed and established itself as a global leader in tailings retreatment, with four large projects successfully executed in recent years. Its most recent project, MTR, was commissioned in October 2024, ahead of schedule and below budget. Pan African now produces more than 100,000oz of gold per annum from tailings operations, at sub-U$1000 AISC.

In the current gold price environment, with a robust portfolio and multiple further growth opportunities, Pan African is well-positioned to continue providing sector-leading returns to shareholders, and also to create significant benefits for all of its other stakeholders.
