Jubilee has pioneered several industry-leading technologies in delivering on its chrome strategy. The Company's chrome production guidance of 1.45 million tonnes per annum for FY24 comprises approximately: 67% from tolling chrome concentrates and 33% from own-sourced chrome concentrates. The Company is targeting 2 million tonnes of chrome …
Soils of mining sites have extremely high percentage of heavy metals such as chromium, lead, cadmium, and arsenic which cause destruction of soil properties such as pH, nutrient content and quality (Ladwani et al., 2012; Hansda et al., 2014); thereby, significantly affecting the fertility of surrounding soil, associated microbial community ...
Toxic effects of chromium on plant roots. Different parts of the plant have different sensitivities to chromium, and the root is the most susceptible part of the plant to chromium poisoning. The changes in root length and root count are important indexes to measure the effect of chromium on the plant (Saxena et al., 2021; Monga et al., 2022 ...
Bauba Platinum has awarded a contract for a chrome spiral circuit wash plant and the primary crushing circuit at its Moeijelijk mine in Limpopo province, South Africa. The R18.4m ($1.57m) contract was awarded to an undisclosed company and covers the plant's design, construction, and commission.
