Our history

Harmony among human beings and harmony with nature is the core tradition in BG Global’s values, which is deeply rooted and embedded in its business philosophy. A philosophy that seeks to create multi-generational wealth, with growth and sustainability of the communities within which we operate.

We strive to create synergy between business growth and human development, thus, to always systematically seek to possess a full-range of capabilities, from planning to investment outperformance while facilitating human ingenuity through enabling technological innovation within our field of experience and best practice.

In addition, we listen to the requirements of our clients and partners in order to achieve much success across all sectors we operate in. The definition of "success" in business should never only be defined as the economic benefits for the corporations involved. Our contribution to local communities is also a crucial indicator to our firm, by creating job opportunities to transmit knowledge to local people, and to initiate activities that support local education.

Due to the nature of our expertise, operations and products, an increasing number of local people will ultimately enjoy better livelihood and a well-fostered business climate. The best way to maintain harmony with nature is to minimize our carbon footprint – where all our projects must feature eco-friendly and techniques that are acceptable to governmental targets and policies.

In an era of globalization and a win-win cooperation, BG Global seeks to follow global rules and ethics and is committed to harmonious business development. We believe that a synchronized advancement of the local community, nature and business is the best gift that we can offer to the world and to future generations.

BG Global (Proprietary) Limited was established early 2010, as a mineral exploration and power generation firm, with a principle focus on the development of coal, manganese, PGM assets and waste-to- energy solutions within the South African economy. With background roots from the Eastern Cape, BG Global’s portfolio has evolved substantially over the past few years and we have become a well- diversified international investment firm with interests in mining, exploration, mining services, energy, technology, finance, manufacturing, and property.

More on our history.

In mid 2011, our energy subsidiary, entered into a long- term partnership with ZR Energies, a Middle East, Orman-based conglomerate with a specific focus to develop Waste-to-Energy renewable projects in the South African energy sector, which later dissolved due to changes of the South African Integrated Resource plan/IRP2010 and the Department of Energy procurement objectives.

The energy division became dormant until late 2017, where the firm has refocused its plans and objectives to capture and dominate the green energy market segment. In the same period, the founder of BG Global, together with other international partners, had been conducting extensive technological and patent development for the treatment and agglomeration of fine materials into saleable product for consumption by South Africa’s power utility, Eskom, for energy generation through the use of agglomerated fine coal into briquettes and/or pellets.

The whole technological advancement was done in conjunction with Sasol Twistdraai Mine in respect of coal and Acerlo Mittal in respect of direct-reduced iron briquettes for steel making as well as beneficiation of iron ore, manganese and chrome fines.

Between 2018 and 2022, BG Global made key acquisitions in respect of Strata Worldwide, Lance Bloch & Associates, as well the formation of BG Mines, a mining and trading outfit which mines, washes and markets product for the domestic and offshore markets in respect of coal, chrome and iron ore.

Our recent addition is BG Global Metals (LLC) New York was legally formed through the New York State Department along with an office presence located at 13 Columbus Circle, Manhattan, New York, United State of America as well as another office location on 1800 Century Park East, Los Angeles, California (USA).

Our last five additions was equity investments in:

1. A large high quality magnetite and vanadium 30 year mining right situated in Limpopo, RSA
2. An acquisition of 66%in Umsebenzi Capital, an NCR accredited firm based in Johannesburg, RSA,
3. The purchase of a minority equity interest in Mining Consultancy Services MCS (SA),
4. A 30% equity interest in Repro Signs, manufacturer of a wide range of road and mining signs, situated in Johannesburg, RSA,
5. A 30% equity interest in Muyenga & Co, a small to luxury bus seller, reseller and manufacturer of bus coaches.
