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:
Bushveld Minerals moves fast to enter the buzzing vanadium market.
The new model of holiday-working labour puts RBPlat on a productivity high.
And, Sibanye Gold begins an intensive search for appropriate mining technology.

The vanadium market is set to expand rapidly, says London-Aim-listed Bushveld Minerals, which is moving quickly to bring its low-cost high-margin integrated vanadium mining and processing plant into production on the northern limb of South Africa’s mineral-rich Bushveld Complex, in Limpopo.

The labour force at black-owned and black-controlled Royal Bafokeng Platinum (RBPlat), which was a model of stability during the wave of worker unrest that swept through Rustenburg’s troubled platinum belt, put productivity on a new high in the six months to June 30 despite the worst strike in South African history taking place on its doorstep.
