Some have referred to it as the ‘platreef’, playing on the Afrikaans word plat, which means ‘flat’, but, more recently, the rich, extremely thick orebody on the northern limb of South Africa’s platinum-endowed Igneous Bushveld Complex has come to be consistently called the flatreef. But, in truth, it is by no means all that flat and, in some parts, dips sharply at 45º Nevertheless, its basket of platinum group metals, plus its valuable nickel, copper and gold endowment, has made it a sought-after resources destination.
