the gold mining costs in competitor countries. South Africa’s mining industry has struggled to be cost-competitive internationally, due in part to geological factors and lagging investment in technology. Exhibit 2 shows that 64% of South African mining output is in the right (expensive) half of the global cost curve.
The economy of South Africa has been built on mining and has greatly benefited from its rich deposits of platinum, gold, diamonds and coal. South Africa’s two major mineral exports – platinum and gold – both saw large price rises in 2006: the platinum price rose by 27 per cent in 2006

A history of mining in South Africa. ining in South Africa has been a contentious issue since 15-year-old Erasmus Stephanus Jacobs discovered South Africa’s first diamond, the Eureka, in Hopetown in 1867.

Mining is a source of extraordinary wealth, but its benefits often do not accrue to the workers and communities most involved. This paper presents two case studies of mining in South Africa to reflect on the history and legacy of mining both through observation and through the voices of affected com …
Gold mining in South Africa resulted in vast volumes of tailings, which have been deposited in impoundments. Poor management of most of the tailings dams resulted in the escape of seepage, adversely affecting soils and water quality. Some tailings dams have been partially or completely reclaimed leaving contaminated footprints. These zones pose a serious threat to the underlying dolomitic
