From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, this is the Real Economy Report.

Sashnee Moodley:

Linhleko Projects officially launched its cooperation agreement with FLSmidth this month, in which the 50/50 profit sharing agreement allows Linhleko to use FLSmidth’s REFLUX Classifier technology to enhance chrome recovery from Sibanye-Stillwater’s Waterval operation. Nadine James tells us more.

Nadine James:

The agreement resulted as part of FLSmidth’s enterprise development programme, and consequently enabled the Sibanye agreement, in which Linhleko will build, own, operate and eventually transfer a RC modular plant that will produce chromite concentrate by processing material from Waterval’s waste dumps.

Minerals Resources Deputy Minster Godfrey Olifant explains how and why this agreement is so laudable.
