Background

Located in the Sekhukhune District Municipality of Limpopo is Steelpoort mining town. The town can be found on the R555 road near the border of Mpumalanga within relatively close proximity to several major mining operations, the majority of which produce chrome or platinum.

Samancor Chrome maintains three mines in the area; Eastern Chrome, Tubatse Ferrochrome and Tubatse alloys. Eastern Chrome Mines comprises of three underground mines, two opencast mines, four surface beneficiation plants and four tailings re-treatment plants. Tubatse Ferrochrome mainly focuses on the production of charge chrome using six submerged arc furnaces, one metal recovery plant and a pallet and sintering plant. Tubatse alloys, jointly acquired in 2017, comprises two closed submerged arc Furnaces, two semi-closed submerged arc Furnaces, a Pelletising and Sintering Plant (PSP) and a metal recovery plant.

A joint venture between African Rainbow Minerals and Implats, Two Rivers Platinum Mine is located roughly 35km south west of Burgersforst. Two on-reef decline shafts and a concentrator plant comprise the underground operation and a fully mechanised bord-and-pillar method is used to extract from the UG2 orebody. Initial processing is undertaken at the concentrator plant and further processing takes place at Implats’ Rustenburg plant.

MTE has always had a very strong relationship with the mines in this particular part of the country and the team has every intention of continuing to strengthen and reinforce these relationships.
