Main Pt natural deposits are in South Africa, Canada and Russia and its concentration per cubic meter of the terrain is dramatically low, therefore, its mining has an extremely high environmentalModern Platinum Mining Techniques. Most of the mining for platinum ore occurs deep underground. To extract the mineral-rich materials, miners pack explosives into holes drilled in the rock and blast it into smaller pieces.

Platinum mining is an incredibly labor-intensive process, which in part explains its cost. It can take 6 months or more and 12 tons of ore to produce a single troy ounce (around 31g) of platinum. To cut down on processing time and cost, many miners streamline their refining processes. The mines are either underground or open-pit144 Oxford Road. Melrose. 2196. South Africa.

CONCLUSIONS. This study has calculated the water footprint for 2 concentrator plants, a smelter and the tailings dam of a platinum processing plant in South Africa. The aim of the study was to identify areas in the processes where water use can be reduced. The direct water footprint was found to be 743 m 3 /kg PGM.For example, total losses in the mining step before the process, account for 27% compared with 15% overall processing losses, of which the concentration step accounts for 13% at an underground platinum mine.
