Our story

About Ukwazi Engineering

Founded in 2004, Ukwazi is a multidisciplinary mining advisory and project delivery company. Inspired by the isiZulu word meaning “to know”, the business is built on technical expertise, practical mining experience and innovative thinking.

We partner with mining houses, project developers, investors and financial institutions to deliver sustainable and operationally successful mining projects. Our integrated approach brings multiple disciplines together under one coordinated team, spanning the full project lifecycle — from evaluation and engineering through to project execution, operational optimisation and mine closure.
