Everest Mining’s assets are ideal for Northam’s Booysendal Division, in terms of location and operations.

Unfavourable market conditions had compelled the South African subsidiary of Aquarius Platinum to place its assets on care and maintenance in June 2012, before announcing the sale.

The company’s mining assets include one concentrator facility with a nameplate throughput capacity of 250,000t a month. It also comprises a chrome spiral recovery plant, a tailings dam and three decline shaft systems situated on the Everest Mining area.
