About Our Company

Mines 1970 Unclaimed Preservation Pension and Provident Fund

was created for mine workers who were part of the South African mining industry between 1970 and 1998. The fund is now closed, and no new contributions are being made. Our main purpose is to trace and pay the former members of the fund-or, where the member has passed away, their rightful beneficiaries. Over the years, we've helped thousands of individuals receive what is due to them.

  • Reconnect ex-miners with their unclaimed benefits.
  • to find every former miner who has unclaimed benefits.
  • Ensure the money they earned is returned to them.

Samuel M.

Miner

For years, I thought my money was gone. I was surprised and grateful to get a call about my provident fund. The process was simple, and the money I received has helped my family more than I can say.

Nomusa D.

Daughter of a Miner

My father worked in the mines for many years, but we had no idea he had money waiting for him. The team was so patient and guided us through every step. This has made a huge difference in our lives.
