Unki

Midlands Province, Zimbabwe · Underground

Operating
PlatinumPalladiumRhodiumGoldNickelCopper+2
Opened
2011-04-04
End year
2041
Workforce
Approximately 1,200 employees as of May 2020. In February 2024, parent company Anglo American Platinum announced plans for job cuts across its businesses, but stated that reductions at Unki would be minimal.
Production
Total platinum group metal (PGM) production in 2023 was 243,800 ounces, a 5% increase from 2022. PGM production for the first quarter of 2025 was 53,600 ounces, a 15% decline from the same period in 2024, attributed to lower ore grades and planned maintenance. In the third quarter of 2025, total PGM production was 57,500 ounces. For the fourth quarter of 2024, PGM output was 60,300 ounces.
Processing
The operation includes a concentrator plant and a smelter. A debottlenecking project for the concentrator was completed and commissioned at the end of 2021, increasing the throughput capacity to 210,000 tonnes per month. A US$62 million smelter was commissioned in May 2019. The smelter produces a furnace matte from the concentrate, which is then crushed and transported to a converter facility in Rustenburg, South Africa, for further processing.
Equipment
The mine is a fully mechanised, trackless, underground operation using a bord-and-pillar mining method.
Expansion
In 2025, the mine planned to invest US$700,000, with US$500,000 allocated to open-pit expansion and US$200,000 for solar projects. Construction of the first phase of a 10MW solar PV plant is planned for 2025 and 2026, with a potential full capacity of 25-30MW.

Overview
The Mototolo Complex is an operating underground mine in Limpopo, South Africa, situated in the Eastern Limb of the Bushveld Complex. It is a fully mechanised, trackless mine extracting platinum group metals (PGMs), gold, chrome, nickel, and copper.
Production
For the fourth quarter of 2023, PGM production was 66,500 ounces. The total PGM production for the full year 2023 was 0.29 million ounces from approximately 2.5 million tonnes of ore milled.
Processing
on-site concentrator with a chrome recovery plant and an associated tailings facility. The concentrator's throughput capacity was increased to 240,000 tonnes per month following a debottlenecking project completed in the third quarter of 2021.
Equipment
two decline access shafts (Lebowa and Borwa), new shaft
Expansion
Mototolo/Der Brochen life extension project, approved in December 2021 with a capital investment of R3.9 billion. The project leverages existing Mototolo infrastructure to expand mining into the adjacent and down-dip Der Brochen resource. A new shaft is being developed to replace the depleting reserves at the Lebowa and Borwa shafts. The first ore from the Der Brochen project was mined in the third quarter of 2024, with production expected to ramp up by late 2025 and the project anticipated to be completed by the first half of 2027.

The mine has two concentrators, the North and South concentrators, with a combined average processing capacity of 13 million tonnes per annum. Approval for the construction of a third concentrator (M3C) with a capacity of 12 million tonnes per annum was granted in 2021, which would bring the total milling capacity to 21.3 million tonnes per annum. The South Concentrator may be decommissioned once the third concentrator is commissioned. The PGM-containing concentrate is transported to the Polokwane Smelter for smelting.
Equipment
fleet of hydrogen-powered mine haul trucks
Expansion
An expansion to underground mining is planned at the Sandsloot pit. A pre-feasibility study for the underground expansion is ongoing, with a feasibility study planned for 2025. Trial mining for the underground operation is envisioned for late 2026, with a potential ramp-up to 3.6-4.5 million tonnes per annum beyond 2030. This underground development could increase concentrate production by 10% to 50%.

NorthMet Project

Minnesota, United States · Open Pit

Under Development
CopperNickelCobaltGoldSilverPlatinum+1
Mine life
20 years
Workforce
The project is expected to create approximately 360 long-term operations jobs and 700 construction jobs.
Overview
The NorthMet Project is owned by NewRange Copper Nickel LLC, a 50/50 joint venture between PolyMet Mining Corp. and Teck American Inc. It is currently in the pre-construction phase with ongoing permitting and regulatory reviews.
Production
Upon approval, the operation is designed to process 32,000 tons of ore per day. NewRange is studying the feasibility of increasing this to 40,000 tons per day. The initial phase is planned to develop 225 million tons of ore. Over its life, Phase I is estimated to produce 1.1 billion pounds of copper and 133 million pounds of nickel, along with other metals.
Processing
The plan includes rehabilitating the former LTV Steel Mining Company processing plant. The process will involve a new semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill, a ball mill, and a flotation circuit to produce copper and nickel-copper concentrates. A potential second phase would involve a hydrometallurgical plant to upgrade nickel sulfide concentrates.
Expansion
A potential second phase would involve a hydrometallurgical plant. Studies are underway to potentially increase daily production and changes to project design, including tailings storage.
