Meet Beatrice Marumahoko, a visionary in the mining industry and a proud member of the WPO Johannesburg 1 Chapter. With a career spanning over a decade, Beatrice has reshaped the landscape of the mineral resource industry in Zimbabwe through her relentless innovation and entrepreneurial spirit.


Beatrice co-founded Phat Ore Mine in 2012, bringing her extensive experience in mineral exploration, mine design, planning, development, and mineral processing to the forefront. Under her leadership, Phat Ore Mine has become synonymous with excellence in gold mining, contributing significantly to the industry's growth.


While Phat Ore Mine has established its roots firmly in Zimbabwe, Beatrice is setting her sights on expansion, particularly in South Africa—the leading country for gold mining. Her goal is to forge strong partnerships that bridge the gap between these two powerhouse nations in the mining sector.


Recognised as a technology innovator and a formidable company builder, Beatrice has led her portfolio of companies to pioneer several mine developments and apply disruptive technologies. Her efforts have not only advanced the small-scale mining industry in Zimbabwe but have also spurred significant economic growth in both established and emerging markets.


For more than a decade, leaders in the mineral resources industries have lauded Beatrice for her entrepreneurial acumen and her role as a technology trailblazer. Her contributions have earned her a respected status among peers and have underscored her influence in transforming the mining landscape.


As Beatrice continues to explore new horizons, her journey is a testament to the power of determination and innovation in leading economic change and development in Africa's mining industry.


Join us in celebrating Beatrice Marumahoko, a true pioneer whose seat at the table inspires and paves the way for future generations of women in mining.
