Rhodium ore refers to a naturally occurring mineral deposit that contains the precious metal rhodium Rhodium is a rare silvery white metal that belongs to the platinum group metals PGMs which also includes platinum palladium iridium osmium and ruthenium Rhodium is known for its exceptional properties such as high melting and boiling points
Mogalakwena Mine intends to exploit the Sandsloot Zone 1 resources deeper than the current open pit horizons by changing the current mining method from an open pit mining process to an underground mining process first phase Studies are currently being undertaken to confirm the optimal development of the underground mine
Platinum PGM Mining and Processing The run of mine ore grades are typically several g/t while concentrates are some hundreds of g/t [4] The concentrate is then smelted to produce a PGM rich Ni Cu matte with the PGMs extracted and purified at a precious metals refinery The processing is therefore more analogous to base metals rather
The major mineralogy of concentrators feed and tailing of a typical flotation circuit are relatively similar Becker et al 2013 Rose 2016 ; however because processing plants obviously concentrate ore from different lithologies and mining sections the bulk tailing materials deposited in dams or impoundments may have significant
Platinum ore is transported from the mine to the processing plant by conveyor road or rail The ore is processed by crushing and milling to reduce the coarse ore to fine particles liberating the sulphide containing platinum group metals PGM iron nickel and copper from the waste ore
The major mineralogy of concentrators feed and tailing of a typical flotation circuit are relatively similar Becker et al 2013 Rose 2016 ; however because processing plants obviously concentrate ore from different lithologies and mining sections the bulk tailing materials deposited in dams or impoundments may have significant
Selective mining was used to improve resource recovery and cut production costs Ore processing The ore obtained from the operations undergoes crushing and concentration at the processing plants located at the mines Ore is stored in a 3 175t silo before being fed to a SAG mill

Studies have also been carried out at the Mining and Materials Processing Institute of Japan to recycle PGMs from the residue of automobile catalyst with high leaching Liu H Duyvesteyn WPC 1994 Recovery of platinum group metals from oxide ore TML process In Proceedings of international symposium on hydrometallurgy Chapman & Hall
The Serbian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy [114] has applied this approach to reduce PGMs employing a comprehensive process that combines pyrometallurgical stages with electrolytic refining This multifaceted process includes crushing grinding homogenization granulation drying melting electrolysis and refining
4 F lotation separation the extraction of gold from sulfide gold ores is a widely used and efficient technique in the mining industry The process involves a chemical reaction between air bubbles and sulfide ore particles causing the air bubbles to attach to these particles Tin Ore Processing Plant; Lead Zinc Ore Processing; Chrome
The mining process at Macraes is circular and follows a cycle of exploration mining processing and rehabilitation and closure With a 30 year history of development spanning fluctuating gold prices there are multiple examples of where an area has been explored mined processed and rehabilitated only to be explored mined processed and rehabilitated again 10 to 20 years later
in post mining processing and documentation less common A definite consequence of the former is the haulage of misclassified ore to waste dumps or waste to the mill 5 Practical and Theoretical Approaches to Reconciliation Years of practice have yielded various means of conducting ore grade reconciliation in a typical mine The
MUSINGWINI C and MINNITT Ranking the efficieny of selected platinum mining methods using the analytic hierarchy process AHP Third International Platinum Conference Platinum in Transformation The Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy 2008 Ranking the efficiency of selected platinum mining methods
Platinum mining involves several common types of mining methods each suited to different geological conditions and deposit types Underground Mining There are a few types of undergrounding mining methods In shaft mining vertical shafts are excavated to access deep ore bodies Miners use elevators and hoists to transport workers and
Challenges Related to the Processing of Fines in the Recovery of Platinum Group Minerals PGMs Kirsten C Corin 1 Belinda J McFadzean 1 In a study of the effect of milling circuits for a UG2 ore it has been shown that on a size by size basis the inclusion of additional mill float stages results in increased PGM
Russia and South Africa are the world s leading producers of platinum group elements PGEs This places them in a unique position regarding the supply of these two key industrial commodities The purpose of this paper is to provide a comparative high level overview of aspects of the geological occurrence mineralogy and processing by flotation of the platinum
The mining industry utilises 3% of the total water withdrawn in South Africa and is one of the industries responsible for the deterioration of water quality in South Africa
The major portion of platinum and palladium produced today from primary sources originates from the Bushveld Igneous Complex in South Africa The most important reefs mined are the Merensky Upper Group Two UG 2 and Platreef Cramer 2001 Ore grades range from 3 to 8 g/t PGM with associated nickel and copper in the % range present mainly as
