Caracal is executing its growth strategy beyond its 100% owned Kilimapesa Mine in Kenya by acquiring additional assets in Tanzania in order to grow group resources.

Caracal is a responsible mining and exploration company and supports the positive social and economic change that it contributes to the communities in the regions that it operates. It is a proudly East African-focused company: it buys locally, employs locally, and protects the environment and its employees and their families' health, safety, and wellbeing.
