OUR STORIES
Nina McKenzie
Regional General Manager - Gabon
What attracted you to working for Capital?
Capital is one of the very few publicly listed mining services companies operating in this region. There is technical capability, there are standards and there is real presence on the ground. That combination matters in West and Central Africa. It felt like a platform where you can actually build something meaningful, not just manage projects.
What are the highlights from your first months?
The biggest highlight has been the people. We operate in complex environments, often with regulatory friction and logistical challenges, and yet the teams continue to deliver. That resilience is real. I’ve also appreciated the openness to strengthening the business structurally. There’s recognition that growth alone is not enough; we need systems and discipline behind it. Those early conversations around structure, compliance and regional alignment have been important.

Specioza Sumni
Driller, Tanzania
Specioza is the first female underground driller in all Tanzania to obtain a Certificate III in Drilling Operations through an Australian-based training provider.
The driller certification process is designed to ensure drilling personnel are competent to operate safely and effectively in real-world conditions. Certification combines structured theoretical training with supervised practical assessment on operational drilling rigs. he theory component provides drillers with a clear understanding of drilling principles, equipment function, hazard identification, and safety-critical controls. Practical assessment then verifies that this knowledge can be consistently applied on site, including safe rig operation, equipment handling, and response to changing ground and operational conditions. This combined approach is critical to reducing risk, improving drilling performance, and ensuring consistent standards across operations, while also supporting the development of nationally capable and confident drilling personnel.
