Gold One Bursary South Africa 2025

ABOUT GOLD ONE

Gold One Group Limited is a mining group with gold operations and gold prospects throughout Southern Africa.

Gold One Modder East Operation is the company’s flagship gold mine located in Springs, within the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality and approximately 30kms from Johannesburg. The Modder East gold mine was commissioned in 2009, and is unlike any other gold mine in South Africa due to its shallow nature (between 300 to 500 metres below surface).
