Who we are

Field-led geology, run by a geologist.

EFT Mining Services is a South African mineral resource and exploration consultancy based in Springs, Gauteng.

The practice

What EFT does

We work the full geological value chain — mapping, exploration, resource modelling and the regulatory process — and partner with trusted specialists to close out every project.

Our work spans geological reporting, mine design, resource modelling and client-facing technical deliverables, backed by full regulatory compliance under the MPRDA, NEMA and MHSA. We prepare submission-ready packages for the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources and manage mineral-rights portfolios on behalf of clients.

Projects run across Limpopo, the Northern Cape and North West, covering commodities from chrome and the platinum-group metals to gold, rare-earth elements and industrial minerals.

Leadership

Eric Fhatusani Thabo

Founder & Director — Geologist

Eric is a geologist with more than 25 years' experience across mineral exploration, resource estimation and regulatory work in the South African mining sector. He directs EFT Mining Services and serves as a director of Andani Mineral Resources, and works closely with the Mwelase Group on exploration portfolios, DMPR submissions and technical reporting.

His focus is practical, defensible geoscience — work that holds up in the field, in the resource model and in front of the regulator.
