Platreef 是全球最大型的未开发贵金属项目。It is a tier-one discovery of platinum-group metals, nickel, copper and gold on the Northern Limb of South Africa’s Bushveld Igneous Complex, the world’s premier platinum producing region. Platreef 与其他 Bushveld 项目的不同之处在于,它在品位、矿床厚度、结构、规模和可观的镍和铜副产品收益潜力方面具有非凡的组合。
The construction of Shaft #3 was completed in late 2026 年 3 月, and will boost Platreef Mine’s hoisting capacity to 5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) – five times its current level. 这个新矿井将简化矿石和废料运输到地面的过程,为 Platreef 的运营带来更高的效率和灵活性。
Widening of Shaft #2 from its initial diameter of 3.1 metres to a final diameter of 10 metres is underway, and once operational, the shaft is set to become the largest hoisting shaft in Africa.
The future Phase 3 expansion will further double annualized production to over 1 million ounces of 3PE + Au, making Platreef one of the world’s largest primary PGM producers.
