What an excellent example of how to mine responsibly , leave legacy infrastructure and a restored environment for the community and future generations! Well done @BaseTitanium
A proud moment for the Kwale team and recognition of years of patient work restoring the landscape.
On 3 October 2026, we welcomed the Chairman and CEO of The Global Biodiversity Standard (TGBS) to the Kwale site, where they presented us with our Advanced Site Certification for
Thank you to TGBS and the Centre for Ecosystem Restoration–Kenya for bringing scientific rigour to the assessment of our progress.

Kwale’s legacy of responsible mining will be measured both by what it contributed during mining and by what continues to thrive after mining.
In 2020, as part of our rehabilitation programme, Base Titanium decided to introduce bamboo in the South Dune area of the mine.
Bamboo supports soil stability, enhances biodiversity and contributes to the long-term recovery of the ecosystem.
Through continued rehabilitation initiatives, we remain committed to restoring mined-out areas into sustainable and thriving landscapes.

The mark of a healthy ecosystem is the presence of a high level of biodiversity.
This past quarter, we have observed endangered birds returning to the Kwale mine, showing that rehabilitated habitats can support wildlife.
Some of the birds sighted include:
1. Martial Eagle – one of Africa’s largest raptors, seen in South Dune.
2. Western Marsh Harrier – found in grassland and open areas across Central and North Dunes.
3. Northern Wheatear – a Palearctic migrant observed in Central Dune, Bumamani, and North Dune.
4. Red-Tailed Shrike – often perching on shrubs and mid-height trees in restored areas.
These sightings reflect the impact of Base Titanium’s planting and land restoration efforts.

The Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) is also fully planted. Through careful stabilization and revegetation, the TSF is being transformed into a safe and sustainable part of the surrounding landscape.
A further 258,000 trees have been planted here to remove moisture from the contained slimes.
