Most of Zimbabwes ferrochrome deposits lie in the Great Dyke, a mountain range that runs the length of the country, rich in ferrochrome, platinum and gold deposits. Zimasco company has mined ferrochrome on the Great Dyke since the early 1900s and has been owned by local businesses, Union Carbide Corp. and Rio Tinto Plc. (RIO) and was acquired by Sinosteel in 2007.
The Russian - Zimbabwean Darwendale platinum deposit project, being implemented by Great Dyke Investments (PVT) ltd, has nearly finished selection of a general contractor for construction of a mining and processing plant. This plant along with a smelter will process up to 10 million tons of ore to eventually produce up to 855,000 ounces (appr.27 tons) of PGMs and gold per year.

Platinum, in the form of the mineral sperrylite (PtAs2), is obtained as a byproduct of the nickel mining operation. Spanish people were the first Europeans to encounter the metal, although they found it a nuisance because of its similar appearance as silver. They referred to the metal as Platina, the Spanish word for silver. Although studied by a number of chemists in the mid-18th century ...

Platinum-group element mineralogy 2.1.1. Introduction The distribution of PGEs (platinum-group elements) in an ore is directly related to the type of ore, which in turn, dictates the mineralogical constitution. PGE ores can be divided into the following main classes (Stribrny et al., 2000): • Alluvial ores: These ores contain almost no sulphide and are composed of individual particles of roc
The Great Dyke of Zimbabwe is a layered mafic intrusion of igneous, metal-bearing rock that has been dated to approximately 2.5 billion years old. The dyke (or dike in American English) intrudes through the even older rocks of African craton, the core of oldest rocks forming the continent of Africa.

The Great Dyke of Zimbabwe hosts the world’s second largest reserve of platinum-group elements (PGE). Economic PGE mineralization is restricted to sulfide disseminations mainly in pyroxenites of ...
The Great Dyke is a geological feature running through the heart of Zimbabwe for about 550 kilometres in a roughly north-south direction. The pgm occur in a layer known as the Main Sulphide Zone, which is typically about 3 metres thick. However, the economic mining width may be as little as one metre, depending on grade, metal prices and the chosen mining method. The pgm content is lower than ...

The concept of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) follow-up has received considerable attention in recent years. However, a number of EIA practitioners have pointed out that there is lack of EIA follow-up evidence on the effectiveness of implemented mitigation measures in practice. This study examined EIA follow-up evidence of implemented mitigation measures and their effectiveness in ...

The platinum group element (PGE)-bearing Main and Lower Sulphide Zones of the Selukwe Subchamber of the Great Dyke are made up of a series of subzones within which the ratios Pd:Pt are effectively constant, whereas these ratios vary significantly between the subzones. Fractionation of Pd with respect to Pt varies by a factor of 10 and cannot be modelled using a sulphide collector phase

There are different phases of a mining project, beginning with mineral ore exploration and ending with the post-closure period. What follows are the typical phases of a proposed mining project. Each phase of mining is associated with different sets of environmental impacts. 1.1.1 Exploration A mining project can only commence with knowledge of the extent and value of the mineral ore deposit ...
Platinum reinforced the belief that mining is a man’s business. This is, however, very far from the truth, writes Thokozile Ruzvidzo as she explains how gender-related challenges hamper the progression of women in the sector – more so in artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM). Call to harness huge potential Mining must be gender-inclusive their mines due to a lack of finances for the ...
