It is estimated that South Africa holds 80% of the worlds known manganese reserves as well as 72% of the worlds known chromite ore reserves. In 2005 South Africa was found to be the ninth-largest producer of aluminum, the largest producer of alumino-silicates, chrome ore and ferro-chromium. South Africa was also found to be the second-largest producer of manganese ore and the ninth-largest producer of nickel in the same year.
The mining industry in South Africa has seen significant restructuring and changes since the early 90s with the traditional "big six" mining houses - Anglo American / De Beers, Gencor/Billiton, Goldfields, JCI, Anglovaal and Rand Mines - being restructured and extending their global presence. These companies traditionally controlled gold, platinum, chrome, coal and base metal production in South Africa. The advent of a new democratic constitution and rising costs from gold mining activities resulted in several changes in the industry.
While holding the worlds largest reserves of gold, platinum-group metals and manganese ore, the country has considerable potential for the discovery of other world-class deposits in areas yet to be exhaustively explored.
