- Business
- Kropz plc is a United Kingdom-based mining company focused on the exploration, development, and production of rock phosphate primarily for use in fertilizer manufacturing. The company operates two main projects: the Elandsfontein project in South Africa, which hosts the second largest phosphate deposit in South Africa and is capable of producing approximately one million tons per annum of phosphate rock concentrate; and the Hinda project in the Republic of Congo, a sedimentary-hosted phosphate deposit near Pointe-Noire. Kropz's product portfolio centers on phosphate rock concentrate sold to local and international markets, supporting fertilizer production essential for agriculture. The company also owns subsidiaries including Kropz SA (Pty) Limited, West Coast Fertilisers (Pty) Ltd, Xsando (Pty) Ltd, and Cominco Resources Limited. Founded in 2018, Kropz is headquartered in Hitchin, England. In recent developments, Kropz made significant operational improvements at the Elandsfontein project, including process modifications aimed at enhancing production efficiencies with expected benefits beginning December 2024. The company has secured a ZAR 200 million (approximately $11.4 million) loan facility from African Rainbow Capital (ARC) Fund, fully drawn down by late 2025, to support ongoing operations and reduce operational costs. Additionally, Kropz completed the acquisition of Cominco Resources Limited for $40 million, expanding its phosphate resource base and operational footprint. Production milestones include notable shipments of phosphate rock concentrate initiated since 2022. The company continues to focus on becoming an integrated, mine-to-market plant nutrient producer in sub-Saharan Africa while maintaining high environmental, social, and governance standards in its operations. Kropz operates in the basic materials industry, specifically within agricultural inputs, targeting markets across South Africa, the Republic of Congo, and international fertilizer customers. Its work supports the global food production sector by providing critical raw materials for fertilizer manufacturing. The company is publicly listed on the AIM market under the ticker KRPZ.L.
