What’s the difference between Merensky, UG2 and Platreef — and why does it matter for platinum mining?
South Africa produces the majority of the world’s platinum, but it doesn’t all come from the same type of ore. In this video, we break down the three major platinum-rich reefs found in the Bushveld Igneous Complex:

🔹 UG2 Reef – the chrome-rich reef that dominates modern PGM production🔹 Platreef – a thick, mechanised orebody shaping the future of platinum supply.
