Resources Watch
Welcome to Creamer Media’s Resources Watch, a weekly video round-up of the events and people making and shaping the news in the mining industry.
This week:
DRDGold will escalate its spending on gold recovery-focused research and development.
Malusi Gigaba hints to new Eskom support after a ‘difficult’ tariff ruling.
And, there appears to be a looming China/Africa head-on collision.
Dual-listed DRDGold will markedly increase its investment in research and development to maximise its current metallurgical processes and improve the overall recovery of gold, says CEO Niël Pretorius.
