Promise shown despite challenges

The South African mining industry continues to show promise in terms of base metal extraction and production despite challenges such as the impact of Covid-19, supply chain constraints and poor infrastructure, according to law firm Beech Veltman.  “South Africa is well known for its large reserves of platinum-group metals, manganese, chromium and gold, but is also recognised for minerals such as titanium, vanadium, vermiculite and fluorspar. It also has significant reserves of copper and nickel, with smaller reserves of zinc,” Beech Veltman CEO Warren Beech tells Mining Weekly.
