Overview
The vision of the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources (DMPR) is to be a leader in the transformation of South Africa through economic growth and sustainable development in the mining sector. Its mission is to regulate, transform and promote the minerals sector, ensuring that all South Africans derive sustainable benefit from the country's mineral wealth.
Post the May 2024 elections, which was followed by the Cabinet’s announcement of the reorganisation of government, the President proclaimed the separation of Mineral and Petroleum Resources from Energy and Electricity. Through Proclamation 179 of 2024, published in Government Gazette No. 51140 on 27 August 2024, there was a separation of electricity and energy functions from the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE), and assignment of responsibility for mining, petroleum and mineral resources to the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources (DMPR).
This separation and creation of the DMPR provides an opportunity to streamline operations and for the creation of a regulatory environment that will grow the mining industry with greater focus on encouraging investments and harmonisation of legislation.
