- Three year agreement secures uninterrupted energy supply for Valterra Platinum operations.
- Partnership anchored in safety, sustainability, security of supply and shared value creation.
- Collaboration to drive operational efficiency and socio economic impact in host communities.
On the sidelines of the Investing in African Mining Indaba 2026, TotalEnergies Marketing South Africa and Valterra Platinum formalised a long term strategic partnership designed to strengthen energy security, enhance safety performance and advance sustainable mining operations.
The agreement was signed by Olagoke Aluko, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of TotalEnergies Marketing South Africa, and Craig Miller, Chief Executive Officer of Valterra Platinum. The three year contract establishes a structured framework for mutual value creation, with safety and sustainability positioned as core pillars.
Under the agreement, TotalEnergies Marketing South Africa will provide uninterrupted energy supply through a combination of global logistics capability, on site infrastructure and tailored high performance product solutions. The model is designed to reduce operational downtime and ensure consistent energy availability, including at remote mining locations.
The partnership is built around four strategic focus areas: health and safety, security of supply, co value creation and sustainability. Valterra Platinum will leverage TotalEnergies’ technical expertise to strengthen fuel storage capacity, improve safety standards and accelerate its transition toward more sustainable operations.
“We have partnered with the mining sector for more than twenty years and continue to guarantee our customers a secure, reliable and uninterrupted energy supply,” said Aluko. “We achieve this through global logistics capability, robust on site infrastructure and high performance product solutions, while ensuring that mining operations remain productive even in remote environments.”
Beyond operational performance, the collaboration is positioned as a platform for broader socio economic impact. Both companies have committed to inclusive procurement practices and the development of small enterprises within the communities in which they operate.
“This agreement represents more than a supply contract,” said Miller. “It reflects a shared commitment to the highest standards of safety, improved operational efficiency and a faster transition toward sustainable operations.”
By combining global energy expertise with operational leadership in the platinum sector, the partnership aims to set a new benchmark for collaborative value creation and community focused growth across Africa’s resource industry.
