About
Black Rock 3000
Assmang Black Rock 3000 brings employees, contractors, community stakeholders and leadership together for one broadcast day on Wednesday, 26 August 2026.
Black Rock Mine Operations is Assmang's manganese complex in the Northern Cape, near Hotazel and Kuruman in the Kalahari manganese field. The complex comprises the underground Nchwaning and Gloria mines, together with the surface plants and infrastructure that handle, process and rail the ore.
The purpose of this event is straightforward: recognise the discipline of the people who do the work, share where the operation stands, and restate the standard the site holds itself to. Safety performance, production figures and milestone numbers published on this site each cite the source they come from.
The broadcast is designed for mine-site conditions: high contrast for bright outdoor light and dim control rooms, large touch targets for gloved hands, and a layout that tolerates a weak connection.
