At present, most of Africa's nickel mining occurs in Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa. In the latter two countries, nickel is most commonly mined as a by-product of platinum-group elements (PGM).
There are however, a number of low grade Ni–Cu–PGM sulfide mines and/or smelters, namely Tati in Botswana, Bindura in Zimbabwe and Nkomati in South Africa. Production and resource statistics are given in Table 1, Table 4, respectively.
The nickel resources were estimated to an assumed maximum mining depth of 4 km, the same as is considered to be the maximum for platinum mining in South Africa.
