Platinum Mine Supply Park

The North West Province is in the advanced planning phase to establish a Mining Supply Park in Rustenburg. The objective of this project is to establish a supplier park housing companies that supply goods and services to the mines while offering opportunities for local partnerships and transformation.

A pre-feasibility study has been conducted on the Mining Supply Park, and results prove that the advantages and possible job creation opportunities through this initiative is huge.

The project will provide suppliers / vendors with a powerful marketing and manufacturing platform, where cost savings and vocational positioning allow companies to gain additional business and market share. This advantage is further enhanced through increased efficiency, improved service and appropriate training facilities within the Mining Supply Park. In turn, the value proposition afforded to the mines by the Mining Supply Park is to enhance their efficiencies in the receipt of procured products, equipment and services with the Mining Supply Park functioning as a logistical, technological and innovation hub.

The development of the Mining Supply Park is being led by mining houses, the Bojanala District Municipality and the Rustenburg Municipality. It is being co-ordinated by Invest North West. Planning is well progressed and it is now ready to move into the detailed planning phase.
