The Fine Chrome Recovery (FCR) initiative forms part of the “Making Amandelbult Investable Again” programme and the Amandelbult journey towards “P101”. The Amandelbult Concentrator Complex has an existing approved and operational chrome recovery plant. However, this existing chrome recovery plant is not designed to recover fine chrome (-100 µm fraction). An initiative was therefore identified in which an increased recovery of chrome can be realised at Amandelbult through the beneficiation of fine chrome from the Concentrator tailings. It is envisaged that the additional recovery of metallurgical and/or chemical grade chrome will result in an increased yield of chrome for Amandelbult, as well as reduced water losses associated with the existing approved tailings dams.
The proposed FCR Plant project will add limited infrastructure to the extensive Amandelbult Complex and will further utilise the existing facilities as far as possible.
Anglo American Platinum, Rustenburg Platinum Mine’s (RPM) Amandelbult Complex (Amandelbult) is situated within the Thabazimbi Local Municipality and Waterberg District Municipality in the Limpopo Province. The project footprint is limited to the following farm portion:
