Cracking a hard nut: An overview of Lonmin’s operations directed at smelting of UG2-rich concentrate blends

Lonmin, earlier than any other primary platinum producer, had to deal with the concentrating and smelting of UG2-rich ores and concentrates respectively. Smelting was performed at a fairly modest scale compared to the company’s industry peers in the platinum group metals (PGMs) industry, and was foc...
