Geochemical controls of platinum-group elements distribution patterns in the Patreef, bushveld complex, South Africa: a case study at Zwartfontein farm, Akanani prospect area
Mudanalwo, Ratshalingwa Patience (University of the Western Cape, 2020)The Platreef, is a contact-type pyroxenitic reef in the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex, enriched in platinum group elements (PGE) and base metal sulfides (BMS). Relatively subdued mining in the Platreef, compared ... -
The use of chemostratigraphy and geochemical vectoring as an exploration tool for platinum group metals in the Platreef, Bushveld Igneous Complex, South Africa: a case study on the sandsloot & overysel farms
Mwenze, Tshipeng (University of the Western Cape, 2014)The paucity of geochemical criteria for stratigraphic correlations and defining the styles of mineralisation pose serious problems in locating PGE-rich zones in the Platreef. This study is therefore aimed at identifying ...
