SADPMR to conclude Platinum Centenary Commemoration with prestigious event
Government body South African Diamond and Precious Metals Regulator (SADPMR) will host a prestigious event on the sidelines of the Jewellex Africa 2024 conference, in Sandton, on September 8, to conclude the Platinum Centenary Commemoration.
The event will mark 100 years since geologist Hans Merensky first discovered platinum deposits in the Bushveld Complex in South Africa and celebrate South Africa’s role as the world leader in platinum production.
The Platinum Centenary Commemoration started on February 4 in Cape Town, with further events held since to highlight the role of platinum in South Africa’s economy and the global platinum industry.
One such event was the launch of a 100-year commemoration logo, in Rustenburg.
At the Cape Town event, a platinum centenary coin produced by Bullion Mint and Refinery – a participant in SADMPR’s entrepreneur development programme – was also gifted to the Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources Gwede Mantashe.
This symbolised the partnership between government and entrepreneurs in developing the precious metals industry.
The final event in Sandton will feature presentations from diamond and precious metals specialist Dr Ashok Damarupurshad, Impala Platinum group executive Sifiso Sibiya, Anglo American Platinum market development principal Fahmida Smith and Council for Geoscience.
