Gold One Group Limited is a prominent mining group with gold operations and prospects throughout Southern Africa.
The Modder East Operation is the company’s flagship gold mine, located in Springs within the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality, just 30 km from Johannesburg. Commissioned in 2009, Modder East stands out due to its shallow depth, ranging between 300 to 500 meters below the surface—quite unique for South African gold mines.
