BENEFICATION'S TRENDING--Fluorspar start-up is third miner to fly beneficiation flag

摘要

In Twitter parlance, beneficiation is trending. New fluorspar-explorer-turned-mine-developer and aspirant fluorochemicals producer SepFluor is the third mining company in as many months to nail its beneficiation colours firmly to its business mast.The first was mining industry doyen and JSE-listed Pallinghurst chairperson Brian Gilbertson, who announced in April that the delisted platinum mining start-up - Platmin - was in the process of being repositioned as both a mining and a beneficiation Newco, which would have the strong backing of South Africa's State-owned Industrial Development Corporation (IDC), which has more than RlOO-billion on its balance sheet and is intent on prioritising the meaningful adding of value to South Africa's unique platinum endowment.
