This week:
Sibanye eyes a R3-billion, 150 MW solar power station.
DRDGold lifts its output 6% despite 67 hours of load shedding in December.
And, the International Council for Mining & Metals says mines are the development engines for host countries.
Gold miner Sibanye Gold plans to build a R3-billion, 150 MW solar power plant to ease its reliance on the costly and unreliable electricity supply from South Africa’s State-owned power utility Eskom.
Sibanye CEO Neal Froneman
Despite experiencing some 67 hours of load shedding in the last month of 2014, specialist tailings miner DRDGold lifted gold output for the six months ended December 31 by 6%.
DRDGold CEO Niël Pretorius
Mines are proven engines of economic development for host countries, which benefit significantly from the foreign direct investment that mines attract as well as the export earnings that they generate, a study by the International Council for Mining & Metals has found.
