As Rustenburg prepares to host the next exhibition, attention turns to the specific needs of mines operating within the region.

The area’s strong association with platinum group metals means that operations are continually seeking solutions that enhance productivity, improve safety standards and manage cost pressures. There is also an increasing focus on sustainable practices and technologies that support long-term operational resilience.
Products needed include a missing person locator, water control, compression, circuit breaker, fire detection on belt, dust suppression, hydrocarbon management, oil separation, diesel particulate filters and fuel tracking devices.
In addition, mines require local spares and components for trackless mobile machinery, hydraulic pumps, drivelines and electronic spares. Specialised tooling, liner motor for impact, corrosion prevention, steel work tools, underground steel, head gear corrosion prevention, condition monitoring and scraper self-alignment.
This show presents an opportunity for exhibitors to align offerings with the practical requirements of the Rustenburg mining community, ensuring that visitors interact with solutions that are relevant and actionable.
Companies that supply equipment or products used in the platinum and chrome mining process and are involved in the provision of mining, processing, smelting and refining equipment or services, will have plenty of opportunities presented.
