Dr. George Maluleke
Executive Head, Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Anglo American Platinum
As a senior leader in the mining environment, I use my more than two decades of engineering, operations, project management and leadership experience to shape the team strategy for success in the VUCA world. My role is about making the team understand the purpose for which the team exists and set clear expectations for each member to contribute towards team objectives. I always look for opportunities to create cross functional collaborations and integration within and outside our business. The work that I have done in Diamonds, Manganese, Iron Ore and now Platinum shapes my understanding of the mining environment within the context of the country and our region and critically the culture that we need to succeed in today’s dynamic environment.
2025 Agenda Sessions
2025 Mining Innovation & Research Battlefield
Pitch 1 - Transforming Tailings with Innovative Water Solutions
Tailings & water are tightly related. A full recycle of water is a prerequisite for future tailing utilization. Water should be thought as an enabler to give the highest recoveries
Lisa October, Resoketswe Manenzhe & Diana Kasymova
Pitch 2 - Waste-to-Wealth Tailings Processing
Co-processing uranium and copper tailings for REE and cobalt extraction using waste-generated acid, eliminating acid costs and reducing reagent consumption for neutralizati
Vitor Loureiro Gontijo
Pitch 3 - BioCarbonX: Reclaiming brownfields and rehabilitating mine sites
Our engineered biochar combined with tailings has the capacity to reclaim brownfields and rehabilitate mine sites by adsorbing heavy metals and enriching the soil.
