Ivanhoe’s mining crews enter Flatreef orebody after 30 years of efforts
TSX-listed Ivanhoe Mines executive co-chairperson Robert Friedland and president and CEO Marna Cloete have reported that mining crews have driven underground development into the high-grade Flatreef platinum, palladium, rhodium, nickel, gold and copper orebody for the first time, as the Platreef mine, in Limpopo, rapidly advances to commercial production later this year. The significant milestone comes over 30 years since Ivanplats, TSX-listed Ivanhoe Mines’s subsidiary, acquired the first exploration licence and 15 years since the discovery of the 26 m thick, flat-lying Flatreef orebody was announced.
