First-of-its-kind gold mine in 15 years expected to create over 1,000 South African jobs

A new gold mine, Qala Shallows, has opened in South Africa, which is the first of its kind to be opened in the last 15 years, and it’s expected to create over 1,000 new jobs in the country.

Speaking to Kaya Biz, Rudi Deysel, CEO of Qala Shallows, said the opening of South Africa’s first new underground gold mine marked the culmination of nearly a decade of work.

The official opening follows the mine’s first ore extraction in late October, and Deysel said the timing could not be better.
