Opening a new mine is an expensive, timeintensive process. Most mines must operate for years to cover initial startup costs; therefore, they are only opened after careful market analysis. In the case of the rare earth elements (REEs), there has only recently been a significant increase in REE usage, and the mining industry has not yet increased production to meet this demand.
For over 45 years, Multotec has focussed on supplying process technology solutions aimed at reducing the operating costs of mineral processing plants.. Driven by a global team of process engineers and metallurgical specialists, Multotec designs, builds, manufactures, installs and maintains equipment throughout the entire value chain of mineral processing plants across all
However, the overall platinum mining process is labour and capital intensive taking half a year or more and 12 tons of ore to produce one troy ounce ( g) of pure platinum.

The allin sustaining costs are about 1,110, while the platinum price is about 754 per ounce (as of September 2018). It means that it is importantly below the production costs. It implies that platinum mining is unprofitable right now. Obviously, such a situation can''t go on indefinitely.
· And that''s not the only cost saving — with Pallinghurst also saying the capital costs of the Kell processing units are onetenth that of a normal platinum smelter/refinery. If those claims are true — which the rollout at the Sedibelo mine will soon demonstrate — it would absolutely crush the cost curve for South African and global platinum production.
Mine cost estimation may be done at many levels. At first it may be a simple "back of the envelope" estimation using similar operations to benchmark against. Later it may be decided to use an existing mine that the company owns and factor and compare costs against them. In the final stages a detailed bottomup estimation based on first principles may be completed.
· For those interested in adding platinum exposure to their portfolios, platinum exchangetraded funds can easily and quickly accomplish those precious metal may not have the name recognition of gold or silver, but it''s a crucial aspect of many common items, as well as an ingredient in certain chemical processes.
In the 1990s, mining companies picked up the habit of reporting cash costs on their financial statements. This is a nonGAAP and nonIFRS measure that combines the costs of mining gold and the costs of complying, bringing gold to market, and selling it. However, cash costs ignore the expenses associated with sustaining capital equipment, as

Platinum, along with the rest of the platinumgroup metals, is obtained commercially as a byproduct from nickel and copper mining and processing. During electrorefining of copper, noble metals such as silver, gold and the platinumgroup metals as well as selenium and tellurium settle to the bottom of the cell as "anode mud", which forms the starting point for the extraction of the platinum
· High cost of platinum and other platinum group metals can be explained by their high practical value and the costly and complicated production process. Plati
In June 2012, the partners announced their decision to suspend production at the mine due to low platinum prices and high operating costs. The mine has been placed on care and maintenance until economic conditions and low Rand PGM prices improve. At the end of June 2012, 1,309 people were employed at the mine. Following the temporary suspension of operations, 84% of the mine''s
· The assets of Anglo American Platinum Limited (Amplats) consist of 11 managed mines across South Africa and in Zimbabwe that together produce nearly million ounces of platinum annually, worth more than billion in fall 2017 prices. Most of the ore from these mines is processed at one of Amplats'' 14 own concentrators before being smelted at one of the company''s three
Since the identification of economic deposits of platinum in South Africa in 1924 by Hans Merensky, a number of platinum mines have come and gone, and some have merely changed identity. 13 South Africa currently has four integrated primary platinum producers, namely Amplats 4,5 (Anglo American Platinum Corporation Ltd, formerly Rustenburg Platinum Holdings Ltd), Impala Platinum
· The first step in the mining process is getting the platinum ore out of the ground and into a refinery or processing plant. Two methods exist to extract platinum ore: »More detailed. Recovery of platinumgroup metals from ores – The United States Jun 29, 1982 · We claim: 1. A process for recovery of nickel, iron, platinum, palladium, copper and gold values
The Environmental Costs of PlatinumPGM Mining: An Excellent Case Study In Sustainable Mining *Gavin M. Mudd1, Bonnie J. Glaister1 PLATINUMPGM MINING AND PROCESSING Overview The six platinum group metals have similar physical and chemical properties, divided according to their densities into a heavier category, comprising platinum (Pt), iridium (Ir) and
Average cost of platinum production by region Published by M. Garside, Sep 14, 2020 This statistic displays the average cost of production of platinum worldwide from 2013 to 2018, by
· The first step in this process is to crush platinum containing ore and immerse it in the reagent containing water; a process known as ''froth flotation''. During flotation, air is pumped through the orewater slurry. Platinum particles chemically attach on to the oxygen and rise to the surface in a froth that is skimmed off for further refining. The Final Stages of Production . Once
· Global platinum production has been dominated by the top 10 largest platinum mining companies in the world for last several decades. Although the demand and consumption of platinum remain high all over the world, the production of platinum is highly concentrated, with the top five largest platinum mining companies representing over 70% of the world''s total platinum output.
Selective mining was used to improve resource recovery and cut production costs. Ore processing. The ore obtained from the operations undergoes crushing and concentration at the processing plants located at the mines. Ore is stored in a 3,175t silo before being fed to a SAG mill. Oversize is passed to a ball mill while undersize is cycled to
