Pilanesberg Platinum is located on the western limb of the Bushveld Complex, near the Pilanesberg Dome in the North West Province. The contract is for the operation and maintenance of the concentrator on behalf of Boynton Investments. The contract began in March 2009. An interesting feature of the plant is the separate treatment of the two reefs: UG2 at 65 000 tpm is processed in the UG2 concentrator section; Merensky (300 000 tpm), which itself consists of two types, i.e. contact reef and pothole reef, in the Merensky concentrator section. Process scope of work covers crushing, screening, dense medium separation, milling, flotation, thickening, filtration concentrate loading, tails deposition and operation of the on-site laboratory.
