Gold One Group Limited, the powerhouse behind the Gedex gold mine in Brakpan (East Rand, Gauteng), is calling all budding rock hounds for their 2026 Internship in Mineral Resource Management. Posted on 8 October 2025 with a closing date of 17 October 2025, this is your shot to dive into real-world mining ops without needing prior experience. Just your passion for minerals, a clean record, and certified docs.

About Gold One Gedex Operation

Gold One Gedex Operation isn't just any hole in the ground—it's a thriving gold mine east of Joburg, pumping out precious resources from the East Rand Basin. Owned by Baiyin Nonferrous Metals Group (a Chinese mining giant), they're all about "harm-free mining" and community upliftment. This internship scouts tomorrow's geologists who'll help extract gold sustainably. Preference is given to locals from Springs, Benoni, Brakpan, or Nigel, but candidates from across Gauteng are welcome.

What's the Gig Like?

A 12-month hands-on plunge into mineral resource management. Shadow pros, crunch data on ore reserves, map geological features, and maybe even get your hands dirty with site assessments. Mentorship counts towards ECSA registration. Rotations, workshops, and feedback sessions designed for unemployed grads under 35, with potential pathways to full-time roles.

• Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Geological Sciences (NQF 7 or equivalent from a SAQA-recognised uni), aim for 60%+ average.
• Age & Status: Under 35, unemployed, no prior internship experience.
