Key Highlights

The total value of mineral production in South Africa in 2009 has decreased by 24.3% compared to 2008. Due to the global economic crisis in 2008–09, the price of metals and minerals declined during this period. In the forecast period, with the gradual recovery of the world economy, the revival of industrial production and consumer demand, and rising commodity prices, the South African mining industry is expected to expand. The South African mining industry is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% during 2010–15. Platinum group metals (PGMs), which include platinum, palladium and rhodium, dominate the country's mining industry, with production valued at US$7 billion, or 25% of the total mineral production. This is followed by coal with 24%, gold with 21% and iron ore with 12% shares. Despite the downturn in the PGMs market in 2009, demand is expected to increase rapidly in 2011, due to stricter auto emission legislation, rising consumer demand for jewelry in Asia and a new exchange-traded fund in the US.
