Black Mountain Minerals PTY LTD is a South African mining services company headquartered in Fourways, Johannesburg, with a fabrication and heavy engineering base in Brits, North West Province. We design, build, and commission chrome washplants entirely in-house — from concept and drawing to steel and commissioning.
Our core strength lies in the design and manufacture of gravity spiral concentrator plants — a proven, chemical-free beneficiation technology for chrome ore. We produce both modular pilot-scale plants (24 TPH) and full commercial installations exceeding 100 TPH, with all steel fabrication, sandblasting, and protective coating carried out at our own facility.
Beyond washplant manufacture, we operate a multi-service mining group encompassing plant refurbishment and relocation, internal heavy haulage with our own fleet, mineral trading across five commodity classes, and active gold mining claim development in Zimbabwe through our Epoch Mine property — a 1,000-hectare gold-rich formation with a USD 35M+ portfolio valuation.
Black Mountain Minerals holds a substantial and growing asset base across South Africa and Zimbabwe, reflecting the combined value of our fabrication equipment, plant inventory, and Zimbabwe mining portfolio.
Black Mountain Minerals is led by two founding directors who bring complementary strengths in finance and governance alongside technical engineering and operations execution.
Byron Smallman leads the governance, financial and strategic functions of Black Mountain Minerals. He brings extensive experience in structured business formation, commercial negotiation and cross-border market development — including established China market relationships developed across prior ventures.
Byron is the founder of Epoxy Emporium, an established coatings and surface treatment business operating across the SADC region, which informed the sandblasting and protective coatings service line within Black Mountain Minerals.
Baliso Qomoyi leads technical operations, plant design, and project execution within Black Mountain Minerals. His background spans road and civil infrastructure, residential and commercial housing developments, and bespoke engineering plant design — all of which underpin the company's in-house fabrication and commissioning capability.
He oversees the full project lifecycle from initial site assessment and plant specification through fabrication, heavy haulage, plant erection, and final commissioning — ensuring each washplant is delivered to operational specification.
