Conveyors in Rustenburg

Rustenburg is the capital of platinum mining on the western limb of the Bushveld Complex, with shafts, concentrators and smelters scattered through Bleskop, Marikana and Phokeng. Underground belts carry hard, abrasive Merensky and UG2 ore to the shaft, surface belts feed crushers and mills, and chrome recovery plants add more. The Pilanesberg and Magaliesberg frame the area, and summers are very hot with sudden thunderstorms. Dust is constant in winter. Belt suppliers, splicing crews, roller workshops and mine engineering firms are well established in Rustenburg, so breakdowns usually get a faster response than at more remote platinum areas, with dedicated mine shutdown teams.
