Background
Royal Bafokeng Platinum, also known as RBPlat, is a mid-tier platinum and PGMs mine located 30km north west of Rustenburg in the north eastern area of SA. Operations consist of the Bafokeng Rasimone Platinum Mine, Styldrift, the BRPM concentrator complex and the Maseve concentrator plant. The operation is jointly owned by Northam and Implats, with 27% of shares free-floating and it is operated by Royal Bafokeng Resources.
Platinum is the primary commodity but the metals extracted also include palladium, rhodium, iridium, osmium and ruthenium in addition to gold, nickel, copper and cobalt. The complex is situated on the last remaining shallow PGMs reserves in SA.
Infrastructure for the underground mine consists of a North and South Shaft, with mining taking place at an average depth of 450m below the surface using decline shafts and conventional breast stoping methods with strike pillars. Current Merensky and UG2 reserves are estimated to support a further 30 years LOM. Additionally, there are currently plans to expand the North shaft complex from level 10 down to level 15, which will provide increased production levels using a hybrid mining method.
