Mining in Limpopo
While more than 90 percent of South Africa’s platinum comes from the North West province, ventures in the neighbouring Limpopo province have also proved successful. The Sandsloot Platinum Mine is located on the edge of a large geological basin.
Aveng Moolmans was awarded the biggest mining tender in Africa to date and quickly brought its earth-moving capabilities to Sandsloot in 1992. The project ran for seven years, bringing many of the company’s senior managers into the fray and securing solid grounding for expansion into the rest of Africa.
