Platinum Mining in South Africa 2009
Creamer Media, May 2010, Pages: 75
Platinum is produced in five countries in the world. Of these, South Africa is by far the largest producer, accounting for over 75% of global output in 2008. In second position is Russia, which produced almost 14% of global platinum output in 2008, followed by Canada, the United States and Zimbabwe.
South Africa's platinum mining operations are concentrated on the extremely large, two-billion-year-old, saucer-shaped, layered igneous intrusion, known as the Bushveld Complex, which occurs in the northern part of the country, traversing the North West, Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces.
