· via Zimbabwe renews threat as platinumrefinery deadline expires – by Godfrey Marawanyika Franz Wild (Bloomberg) 17 Jan 2014 The government is reiterating its resolve to enforce the two year period window in which to build a refinery, a period that ends in 2014, the country's secretary of mines said.
Iron ore can be found all over the world, in the form of rocks and other minerals. To be economically viable for mining, iron ore must contain at least 20% iron. Magnetite ore has the highest proportion of iron, at 65%. Haematite ore also has a high content of iron at 60%. All iron ore contains ferric oxide and it is from this that iron is extracted. Approximately two billion tonnes of iron ...
Industries like iron and steel, which use very large quantities of coal and iron ore, losing lot of weight in the process of manufacture, are generally loed near the sources of coal and iron ore. Some of the industries, like watch and electronics industries use very wide range of light raw materials and the attractive influence of each separate material diminishes. The result is that such ...
Iron and Steel Works, initially called the Mysore Iron and Steel Works, is loed close to an iron ore producing area of Kemangundi in the Bababudan hills. Limestone and manganese are also locally available. But this region has no coal. At the beginning, charcoal obtained by burning wood from nearby forests was used as fuel till 1951 ...
Zimbabwe has huge iron ore deposits associated with banded ironstone formations in greenstone belts Major deposits are estimated to be over 30 billion tonnes of reserves Deposits with highgrade ore are found in Buchwa and Ripple Creek Significant ironstone deposits include the huge Mwanesi deposit west of Chivhu and Nyuni near Masvingo . More Detail Friedland's Nimba iron ore project to get ...
Mine Loion: METALS DIVISION: NICKEL: Nickel is a generally abundant natural element. Pure nickel is a hard, silverywhite metal. Nickel can be combined with other metals, such as iron, copper, chromium, and zinc, to form alloys. Nickel is emitted from volcanoes. In Zimbabwe, it is marketed and sold as Nickel concentrate with the following payable elements: Nickel, Copper, Cobalt, Palladium ...
Extraction and Refining of the Platinum Metals A COMPLEX CYCLE OF SMELTING, ELECTROLYTIC AND CHEMICAL OPERATIONS By A. F. S. Gouldsmith,, ~., and B. Wilson, ~., Platinum Refineries, Johnson Matthey Co Limited A major development in the world's platinum industry took place in the early nineteen twenties when large deposits of platinum bearing ore were discovered in ...
· An estimate of billion tonnes PGM ore at 4g/t are estimated to lounge on the Dyke. Notably, PGMs are mined as primary metals only in the Bushveld in South Africa and along the Great Dyke in Zimbabwe. The occurrence of PGE mineralization in the Great Dyke was recorded in the early 1920s. Following these documentations and the discovery of PGMs in the Merensky Reef of the Bushveld .
Loed about 150km southwest of Harare, Ngezi is Zimbabwe's principal platinumgroup metals producer. Operated by Makwiro Platinum Mines, owned 70% by Zimbabwe Platinum Mines (Zimplats) and 30% by the South African mining company, Impala Platinum. Ngezi replaced the failed Hartley operation, which was developed by Australian companies BHP ...
· If employment includes those working in coal, iron ore and limestone mines all the way to those in related industries stated above, then the number is large indeed. Foreign currency earnings. A country producing excess iron and steel will sell these on foreign markets, earning foreign currency in the process. Urban growth. Where huge integrated iron and steel work have been established, towns ...

58% of world PGM production takes place in South Africa1 not only for ore haulage but also to drive compressed air to and Russia accounts for a further 26%, most of this as a coproduct of nickel mining. Nearly all of the rest comes from Zimbabwe, Canada and the USA. The primary production of PGMs represents the transfer of metal from below ground resource to above ground material stock and ...

Zimbabwe Natural Resources: There are numerous metal resources in Zimbabwe, some of which are chromium ore, gold, copper, iron ore, lithium, nickel, tin, vanadium, and ...
iron: Production and Refining. Iron is produced in the United States chiefly from oxide ores. For many years rich hematite ores were produced by openpit mining in the Mesabi Range near Lake Superior. However, these ores have been largely depleted, and iron is now produced from lowgrade ores that are treated to improve their quality; this process is called beneficiation. Iron ores are refined ...
