Platinum demand surged 25% in 2023 seen down 6% in 2024 will dip 1% to million ounces as a 3% decrease in mine supply largely from South Africa and Russia will be partly offset
Platinum mining is a big business particularly in South Africa In fact South Africa is the largest producer of platinum in the world accounting for 80% of the world s Scribante Group we ve assisted on numerous platinum mining projects in South Africa Then it undergoes a process called flotation separation Air passes
Sedibelo s Pilanesberg Platinum Mine PPM has been operating since 2008 through an open pit operation and is transitioning to a shallow low cost underground operation Read more SEDIBELO Sedibelo is developing a Kell Processing and Refining Plant within the PPM mining right area which will process PGM concentrates to final metal products
The beneficiation of platinum group metals PGMs from pristine unweathered sulfide ores has conventionally been conducted through froth flotation which typically achieves platinum recoveries of over 85% The achieved successes of PGM concentration by flotation from the pristine sulfide ores are largely due to the occurrence of PGMs in close association with
These operations extract and process PGM ore from the J M Reef the only known significant source of PGMs in the US and the highest grade PGM deposit in the world They produce primarily palladium and platinum 78% Pd and 22% Pt which are referred to as 2E PGMs Our South African operations mine from both the UG2 and the Merensky reefs of

mining process has changed very little it is hardly surprising that the productivity of mining is also relatively unchanged Major efforts have been made to mechanize the mining process However most of the narrow reef mines where trackless mechanized mining was introduced in the early 1980s have reverted to conventional mining In the
Kell hydrometallurgical process for extraction of platinum group metals and base metals from flotation concentrates processing concentrates at their mine site using the Kell Process and closing the circuit with ion exchange resin or other means for the recovery of a high grade PGM concentrate product and reagent recovery provides an
It explains that platinum mining began much earlier in these regions compared to Europe North America and Asia The discovery of rich platinum deposits in South Africa by Dr Hans Merensky led to the formation of Rustenburg Platinum Mines Limited in the 1930s becoming the world s largest producer of platinum by the late 1940s
