New cost-slashing platinum technology ready to roll – Pallinghurst

Years of diligent research and development has paid off for Pallinghust group platinum mine Sedibelo, which is now ready to implement an amazing new technology that will send platinum processing costs screaming down the cost curve, use a fifth of the electricity currently needed for smelting and throw caution to the wind when it comes to mining chrome-containing platinum ore. The new Kell process route takes cutoff grades far lower, extending mine life and saving the cobalt in the platinum group metals (PGM) mix from the destruction it currently suffers.
