What is good for Platinum is good for South Africa...
and every ounce of additional Platinum
that can be produced by South Africa's
rapidly expanding mines will be needed.

For Platinum, we expects a sharp rise in demand
from autocatalyst manufacturers, notably because
diesel engines are growing their market share.

The economic in China will create a higher
industrial and jewellery demand in China.

On the supply side, South African mines are
delivering more, Russia less, and recycling
of scrap is a little higher.

All in all, demand for Platinum should reach a
record >6 million ounces and supply 5.58 million
ounces, leaving a large deficit.

"The market is tight," citing > 11% lease
rates on Platinum, four-five times
the norm, as endorsement.

Stocks in Switzerland are calculated to be well
down too so, fundamentally, everything is rosy
for platinum.

South African sales will rise first when the
Platinum-rich eastern limb of the Bushveld
is mined.

Supply from South Africa will fall short
of forecasts as indeed it did during the last
Platinum boom of the late 1980s.

The drilling at 8 km from the Anglo PPRust
and Anglo telling CALVF that their orestructure
of the Merensky and the UG-2 platinum group
PM metals on the property continue in on CALVF's
land holdings...

Eersteling Gold Mine holds the mineral rights
over an area of 190 square kilometers and has
a reported ore resource of 2.6 million tonnes
containing 530,000 ounces of gold, and its
mineral rights holdings are less
than 10% explored for Gold and less than 1% for
Platinum...

The Gold Mine has a metallurgical plant with
a capacity of 25,000 tonnes of ore per month
and has mined ore from any of 5 fully
equipped shafts...

Eersteling Gold Mine applied for its Section 9
permanent mining permission and this was granted
during April 2003, its situated within
trucking distance less than 20 miles from
the Rooiport Platinum Project and
the mill, infrastructure
and the Mine can be fitted for
the Rooiport Platinum Ore.

New Platinum Smelter for Pietersburg

Anglo Platinum has its mining operations centred
on the Western Limb of the Bushveld Complex,
which has the Merensky and UG2 platiniferous
reefs.

The Merensky Reef is closer to surface
and contains more platinum, while the UG2 reef
occurs at depth and contains more palladium
than platinum.

Anglo Platinum produces > 2 million ounces of
platinum per annum.

The company has embarked on a program
to double production by opening new
mines in the Potgietersrus area and on
the Eastern Limb of the Bushveld
Complex.

Pietersburg is centrally situated and has
a stable infra-structure and construction
support, which makes it the ideal venue
for the new smelter.

The smelter is built on Palmietfontein
south of Pietersburg.

Limpopo boasts huge reserves of precious
metals and industrial base minerals.

Mining contributes 22% of the province's
economic output.

The platinum group consists of chromium,
nickel, cobalt, vanadium, tin, limestone
and uranium clay as well as platinum.
Other reserves include antimony, phosphates,
fluorspar, gold, diamonds, copper, emeralds,
scheelites, magnetite, vermiculite, silicon,
mica, black granite, corundum, feldspar
and salt.

The first phase of Anglo Platinum's Polokwane
Smelter, which will receive concentrate
initially from Anglo Platinum's operations in
the eastern Bushveld, is already complete,
more than >$350 million has been invested
and further expansion is possible.

Job creation is likely to be substantial
from increased mining operations.

Estimates that 10 000 full-time jobs
will be created over the next five to
seven years in the industry.

Eersteling Gold Mine applied for its Section 9
permanent mining permission and this was granted
during April 2003, its situated within
trucking distance less than 20 miles from
the Rooiport Platinum Project and
the mill, infrastructure
and the Mine can be fitted for
the Rooiport Platinum Ore.

Cal thanks, The Pietersburg / Polokwane Platinum-group
metal smelter is the largest of its kind
in South Africa,

which is designed as a six-in-line 68MW electric furnace,
with a smelting capacity of 650000 ton/year.

Anglo Platinum Mines / scope

Supply, delivery and erection of 33kV primary equipment
including all the civil works and overhead lines.
The installation included:

* 2 x 2500 Amp Bus-Sections
* 2 x 1250 Amp Incomer Bays
* 1 x 2500 Amp Furnace Feeder
* 3 x 20MVA Transformer Bays


Ninety ton per hour nickel matte casting machine
for new platinum smelter at Polokwane.
Hot commissioned in August 2003.

The Platinum ore is mined from the Merensky and
the UG2 reefs, the two main Platinum-bearing
reefs in South Africa.

The two reefs are contained in what is known
as the Bushveld Igneous Complex, a
horseshoe-shaped geological feature
that is confined to the northern parts
of the country.

It extends for 400 kilometres from Rustenburg
in the North-West, around to Potgietersrus in
the Northern Province and then across to
Lydenburg and Barberton in Mpumalanga.

Platinum is merely one of seven precious metals
and three important base metals that are extracted
from the ore mined on the Merensky and UG2 reefs.

The six platinum group metals (PGMs) are
platinum, palladium, rhodium, osmium, iridium and
ruthenium and the major base metals recovered
are copper, nickel and chrome.

The ore body also contains some portions of gold.

While gold-bearing reefs consist of sedimentary
deposits, platinum reefs are igneous rocks
originating from molten volcanic magmata that
rose from below the earth’s crust and then
cooled and solidified.

The precious metals occur in the ore in a variety
of patterns and forms and in different values.

Unlike gold-bearing ore, which is often found in
seams where there are significant concentrations
of gold, PGMs are found in the form of minute
mineral particles that are generally thinly
distributed in the ore.

These particles are not visible to the eye and,
unlike gold, do not appear in concentrations
that make it attractive for thieves to remove
PGM-bearing material from underground mining
operations.

Two or even three milling stages may be required
to recover the very fine mineral particles from
the ore.

The phenomenon found in the gold-mining industry
where significant volumes of gold-bearing material
are illegally removed by thieves from underground
shafts and transported to illicit smelting houses,
is not common in platinum mines.

The fact than platinum-bearing rock can contain
up to 12 different metals also makes it less
attractive to steal than gold-bearing ore.

Depending on the mineralogy of the ore, the PGM
recovery process has to go through four complicated
stages of concentration, smelting, base metals
removal, and precious metals refining:

* Concentration: During this process, the ore
is ground into fine particles with the aim of
liberating and recovering the mineral particles
in the form of a concentrate by froth flotation.

* Smelting: The flotation concentrate is then
melted in an electric furnace.
On melting, the concentrate separates into two layers.
The upper layer is a slag, which is tapped off and
then either discarded or returned to concentration.
The lower layer is a converter matte, which is sent
for base metal removal.

* Base metal removal: Base metals are removed
from the converter matte.
They constitute a valuable by-product of PGM
extraction and the extent to which they are further
refined is largely dictated by economies of scale.
The concentrate, which remains after the removal
of base metals, is then sent for further
processing into refined precious metals.

* Precious metals refining: Refining processes
during this phase differ and improved methods are
constantly being introduced.
During this phase PGMs such as rhodium, platinum,
iridium and others are finally separated into
individual metals.

permanent mining permission and this was granted
during April 2003, its situated within
trucking distance less than 20 miles from
