Chromite – Platinum-Group Element Magmatic Deposits

The centenary of the discovery of platinum in the Bushveld Complex (10 November, 1906)

The story of Dr. Hans Merensky’s discoveries of the platinum-rich pipes and the Merensky Reef itself in 1924 have been well documented (Cawthorn, 1999; Scoon and Mitchell, 2004, and references therein), but the events that preceded it have not been summarized. In the probable centenary year of the first report of platinum in the Bushveld it is appropriate to review the events between 1906 and 1...

Most analyses of government budgets and their differential impacts on women and men tend to focus on the expenditure side of the budget, with very little attention being given to the revenue side. It is usually assumed that government expenditure has a greater direct impact than revenue in addressing issues such as poverty and inequality. However, the revenue side of the budget, and specificall...

Geochemistry of intermediate to siliceous volcanic rocks of the Rooiberg Group, Bushveld Magmatic Province, South Africa

The volcanic Rooiberg Group represents the earliest phase of Bushveld-related magmatism and comprises, in some areas, the floor and roof rocks of the mafic–ultramafic intrusive units of the Bushveld Complex. The lower to middle Dullstroom Formation is composed of two interbedded series of low Ti and high Ti volcanic strata, which are predominantly basaltic andesites. Volcanic units above these ...
