RS South Africa recently exhibited at MTE Steelport in Limpopo, and MTE Sibanye-Stillwater in Gauteng. Steelport is a mining town in the Sekhukhune District Municipality of Limpopo. It is close to major chrome and platinum mining operations, including Samancor Chrome’s Eastern Chrome Mines, Tubatse Ferrochrome, and Tubatse alloys. Samancor’s operations in the area are extensive, with Eastern Chrome Mines comprising three underground mines, two opencast mines, four surface beneficiation plants and four tailings retreatment plants.
In the heart of Johannesburg’s gold-rich region lies Sibanye-Stillwater Gold Division, one of South Africa’s largest gold producers, and the host of MTE’s Sibanye-Stillwater Gold Division expo. The division’s mines extract and process gold-bearing ore, producing beneficiated ore that undergoes further refining.
