Minerals Processing with Purpose

About Quiver

Quiver delivers specialist minerals processing expertise and strategic investment to accelerate projects and unlock value across the mining lifecycle. Our team blends technical know-how with commercial rigour to help operators and technology partners scale.

We’re not your typical consultancy. Our team of 20+ experienced metallurgists and chemical engineers doesn’t just advise on projects — we often co-invest behind that recommendation. This alignment of interests has built the foundation for partnerships that span years, not projects.

Our approach is simple: Build trust through technical excellence, think long-term, and create value that extends beyond the balance sheet. Whether we’re helping a technology provider expand into new markets or funding an early-stage mining project, we’re in it for the journey. It all starts with understanding the orebody.

Impact

Creating Value Beyond the Balance Sheet

Success in mining isn't just measured in tonnage or short-term returns. We focus on building sustainable operations, creating opportunities for local communities, and proving that responsible mineral processing can be a force for long-term positive change.

Community Impact

Business Results

Changing Lives, One Project at a Time

We invest in the communities where our people live and work. Last year we funded and built a fully equipped kitchen at a primary school in South Africa, now providing nutritious meals to hundreds of children every day.

Annual Community Investment

Quiver commits a portion of project returns to community projects selected by local teams — these are personal and sustained investments, not one-off PR gestures.

Our Broader Mission

We engage with universities, young professionals and policy makers to shift perceptions about modern mining and mineral processing. From enabling renewable infrastructure to supporting technology adoption, responsible mineral projects create lasting societal value.
