    Having joined SRK in 2011, Van Zyl became a partner in the firm in 2015 and was appointed as a director in 2020.

    “My new role is primarily focused on people, context and strategy, to give SRK’s partners and practices a sounding board, and help build the complementary strengths within the company,” he said.

    Extensive mining sector experience

    Van Zyl has extensive experience in the mining sector, working initially in production and project roles and later shifting his focus into strategy, business development and valuation. He also spent several years as a technical advisor to a government committee negotiating a mining convention, as well as rail and mineral terminal concessions.

    His experience includes valuing metals and minerals assets, including iron ore, manganese, chrome, copper, coal, gold and the platinum group metals. He is active in industry bodies, including being on the council of the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM), a member of the inaugural SAIMM ESGS committee and past chair of the South African Mineral Asset Valuation (SAMVAL) Committee.

    In SRK’s involvement in the field of responsible sourcing of minerals, Van Zyl takes a lead role in SRK's partnership with the EU’s Re-Sourcing initiative. This body is funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme, and draws on SRK’s knowledge of current issues in the mining sector.

    He has presented at a range of conferences, including the Investing in Africa Mining Indaba and the World Association of Mining Lawyers’ annual conference.
