Abstract:
Global demand for platinum-group-metals (PGM) has supported the dominance of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa in global commodity supply. Presently 76.5% of the world’s PGMs are supplied from South African mining operations on the Bushveld Complex. Historically the majority of supply originated from the geographically distinct western limb. However, through resource depletion, and increased mining depths on the west, alternative supply warrants consideration. Various tactical (immediate and short-run) requirements and equally important strategic (long-run) issues and objectives are used to assess the potential for competitive future supply being derived from the eastern limb.
