Deposit Geology. The PGE deposits of the Bushveld Complex occur in the Rustenburg Layered Suite (RLS) (Figures 1 and 2). The RLS is vast: it covers an area of 66,000 km2, extending 450 km from east to west and 350 km north to south. Research estimates the volume of magma produced to form the RLS was on the order of 1 million …

Seven new graphite mining licence applications submitted by Africa-focused Marula Mining's local partners in Tanzania have been granted.
Graphite mining areas are mainly distributed in East Asia-South Asia, East Africa, Eastern Europe-Central Europe, North America, South America and Oceania, and each mining area has its own characteristics in resource endowment, deposit genesis and metallogenic geological characteristics.
The largest flake graphite deposits are often relatively low grade. In contrast, vein graphite deposits are smaller and higher grade. Amorphous deposits can range in size but generally produce lower quality graphite with restricted uses. Recent exploration has focused on flake graphite in East Africa, Canada and Australia.
This investment will grant Rio Tinto a 15% stake in the Australian mining company – which could rise to 19.99% within 12 months – and will help to unlock significant supplies of low carbon footprint natural rutile and flake graphite.

BLESBERG LITHIUM AND TANTALUM MINE. • The Blesberg Project Mine, located in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa, is one of the largest known economically mineralized pegmatite deposits and has historically been the largest single source of tantalum in South Africa. • Historic production from the Blesberg Mine included …
Flake graphite production capacity in Africa was approximately 455,000t in 2019 and it was tipped that graphite production capacity will more than treble to 1.55Mt per year if all the planned projects in development come to fruition. However, the BGS also pointed out that Africa needs to invest in graphite processing (stage three) capacity to ...
The country remains under-explored to discover new deposits as well as realising full potential of known deposits.
