Minerals in RSA and Platinum.

South Africa is a country with lots of resources as well as minerals. The main 2 minerals are Diamonds and Platinum. Today I am going to talk about Platinum in RSA and the processes involved.

Platinum is mined as any mineral or ore is, it is drilled and blasted and taken to be smelted from other metals.ed but you can find platinum in alluvial deposits mixed with other metals such as (Iridium, Rhodium,   Palladium, Rutheniridosmine). Platinum only occurs 0.005 PPM or parts-per notation in earth’s crust
