ARM was founded by Patrice Motsepe[6] as South Africa's first black-owned mining company.[7][8] Motsepe founded ARMGold in 1997, which went on to list on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) in 2002.[9]

In 2003 ARMGold entered a merger with Harmony Gold Mining and Anglovaal, previously owned by Richard and Brian Menell, and became the largest group controlled by black entrepreneurs.[10] The 2003 ARMGold merger with Harmony Gold Mining formed the world’s 5th largest gold producer.[9] The ARMGold merger with Anglovaal Mining (Avmin) came after.Шаблон:Citation needed

In 2009, ARM joined the International Council on Mining and Metals.[11] In 2009, ARM was reported to be planning $1.12 billion investments in mining in Zimbabwe.[12][13] In August 2010, ARM entered a $380 million joint venture with Vale to build a copper mine in Zambia, which was expected to produce 100,000 tons of copper.[14][15] In February 2016, ARM put a further $148 million bail out in place to preserve their broad-based black economic empowerment (B-BBEE) status.[16] In March 2016, ARM reported that profits had been halved due to lower commodity prices.[17] ARM also has had a 50% stake in Morobe Mining Joint Ventures (MMJV) of Papua New Guinea. MMJV has operations in Hidden Valley and Wafi-Golpu in Morobe Province approximately 50 kilometers south-west of Lae, Papua New Guinea.Шаблон:Citation needed
