About Hera Minerals
Hera Minerals is a modern, 100% black youth- and woman-owned mining company committed to responsibly sourcing and delivering the minerals that fuel progress across Africa and beyond. Established in 2025 as a subsidiary of Segra Group, Hera Minerals was founded on the belief that mining should create shared value — empowering communities, protecting the environment, and driving economic growth.
From our operational footprint across key mineral-rich regions in South Africa to our long-term expansion strategy, Hera Minerals is positioned to become a new force in African mining — agile, innovative, socially inclusive, and future-focused.
