MINING
TODAY
Our mining landscape today
- Coal and platinum provide our highest mineral production by value.
- The mining sector contributed R361.6 billion to GDP in 2020.
- Nearly half a million people are employed by the sector.
The future of excavation and extraction
- Productivity, local RDI, and the 4th industrial revolution are a future focus for local mining operations.
- Modernisation involves pursuing an approach that does not replace people but rather places people at the centre of the approach.
- The industry’s employment has remained relatively flat over the last decade.
The global mining outlook
- Due to COVID, new technological advancements have advanced automation and remote access.
- Gold reached a historic high price in 2020, exceeding $2,000 per ounce (oz) for the first time.
- Prices for other metals improved as well. Copper and iron ore prices reached seven-year highs as 2020 concluded.

THE ESSENTIAL ROLE OF
MINING IN SOUTH AFRICA
From contributing 21% of South Africa’s GDP in 1980, to 8% in 2016, our mining landscape remains volatile, yet essential to our economy.
When considered selectively, mining plays a greater role in some regions by remaining the largest industry in four of South Africa’s nine provinces: North West, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Northern Cape. In the Northern Cape particularly, mining contributed R33 for every R100 produced by their economy in 2015 and employed 16% of the province’s workforce.
International pressures and fl uctuations add more instability to this vital industry player. Whatever the obstacles, we are committed to working with you, ensuring sustainable growth and supporting the livelihoods of communities’ dependent on this essential South African industry.
