Eland

Eland is a platinum-group metals mine located in South Africa's Limpopo province. The facility is operated by Northam Platinum, one of the country's leading platinum producers. Eland forms part of Northam's portfolio of mining operations focused on extracting platinum-group metals (PGMs), which include platinum, palladium, rhodium and iridium. These metals are critical inputs for catalytic converters in the automotive industry, as well as emerging applications in hydrogen fuel cells and green energy technologies. The mine contributes to South Africa's position as a dominant global supplier of PGMs, with the Bushveld Complex in Limpopo hosting the world's largest known reserves of these strategic minerals. Eland's output supports both traditional automotive demand and the transition towards decarbonisation and the hydrogen economy. The facility operates alongside Northam's other major mines, including Zondereinde and Booysendal, which together underpin the company's production capacity. Northam has invested in expanding and optimising its operations to meet growing demand for PGMs in renewable energy and electric vehicle sectors. The mine's location in Limpopo places it within the heart of South Africa's platinum belt, a region of significant economic and strategic importance to the national mining industry.
