South African coal coal total primary energy consumption of its more than 70%. 2006 South Africa proved reserves of 31 billion tons of coal, almost all of bituminous coal, accounting for 3.5% of total world reserves, ranking eighth in the world. Currently South Africa’s largest coal-producing region is the Witbank (Witbank), the estimated reserves of 12.46 billion tons, but at an annual rate of 91 million tons depletion. Other large coal storage area is fertile Fort (Warburg), the estimated recoverable reserves of 154.9 million tons. Basically Permian coal seams in South Africa, MARBLE STONE CRUSHER IN TURKEY mainly produced in the Karoo system Eka group formations.
Few oil and gas reserves in South Africa, mainly in the coastal zone.
South African low-cost uranium resources uranium amount (≤ 80 USD / kg) was 341,000 tons (56.42% increase over 2001), accounting for 7.2% of total world reserves, ranking fifth in the world. South Africa’s uranium deposits are mainly concentrated in the Witwatersrand Basin gold – uranium conglomerate, in order to conglomerate type gold – uranium deposits, large reserves of low grade uranium as a by-product recovery. Industrial conglomerate uranium deposits up to 20 layers, seam extending for several kilometers, tens of kilometers. Karoo Basin, Permian – Triassic Bora copper (as disseminated magmatic) of uranium as a by-product recovery.
Chrome 2006 South Africa was 5.5 billion tons of chromite reserve base (26.5-fold increase over 2001), reserves of 160 million tons (60% increase over 2001), accounting for 72.4% of total world reserves, ranking first in the world. Chromium is mainly produced in South Africa Transvaal Bush Wilder pluton, MANUFACTURED SAND CRUSHING MACHINE mainly in the east and west wings of rock, is a world famous stratiform chromite deposits are distributed, produced in mafic and ultramafic rocks and derived rocks.
