BEYOND EXTRACTION
Gold Fields chairperson Dr Mamphela Ramphele wants mining’s core business of extraction to be expanded to embrace local value-addition. Ivanhoe chairperson Robert Friedland wants to produce autocats and jewellery using platinum from his proposed Ivanplats’ mine in Limpopo, where the government wants a ‘Platinum Valley’ to be built that will mimic the celebrated ‘Silicon Valley’ of the US. Kgosi Nyalala Pilane of the Bakgatla-Ba-Kgafela community wants to host a Silicon Valley-type platinum hub in North West province. Anglo American Platinum has a local platinum-using fuel-cell company that has already come commercial. Impala Platinum is cofunding a R6-million hydrogen fuel-cell project in the hope of going commercial. The new Kell technology debottlenecks platinum processing to facilitate beneficiation, which has advanced from being an aspiration to being a pursuit.
