American-Canadian billionaire opens $2-billion platinum mine in South Africa www.africa.businessinsider.com

Mining billionaire Robert Friedland has launched the first phase of a long-awaited US$2-billion platinum-group metals project in South Africa, realising a vision that has been 37 years in the making through decades of exploration, planning, and development.
A Landmark African Mining Project
Friedland, founder and executive co-chairman of Vancouver-based Ivanhoe Mines Ltd., inaugurated the Platreef mine on Tuesday alongside President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The project is one of the most significant new mining developments on the continent and a rare large-scale investment in South Africa’s struggling mining industry.
World-Class Deposit
Describing Platreef as “the world’s largest undeveloped precious-metals mine,” Friedland said the operation is poised to become one of the lowest-cost global sources of platinum, palladium, rhodium, nickel, copper and gold.
“It gives us a glimpse of the bright future of South Africa’s mining industry,” Ramaphosa said at the ceremony. “We maintain that mining is a sunrise industry that must continue to play a critical enabling role in our nation’s development.”
He added that Platreef’s modern concentrator plant reflects how South Africa is “positioning itself as a strategic partner in the global energy transition and the next wave of green industrialization.”
Investment and Expansion Plans
Robert Friedland, the Canadian-American mining entrepreneur and billionaire, has built a global reputation by developing major mining projects across Africa, North America, and Asia.
He first gained international attention in the early 1990s after discovering the Voisey’s Bay nickel-copper deposit in Canada, which was later sold to Inco for $4.3 billion.
Friedland was also the driving force behind the development of the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold project in Mongolia and has increasingly focused on Africa, including the Kamoa-Kakula copper project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
A Strategic Investment
Ivanhoe Mines is committing $1.2 billion to the first two phases of the Platreef project, with Phase 2 expected to come online in late 2027. If approved, a potential Phase 3 could add an additional $800 million, further expanding the mine’s capacity.
“The Phase 1 mine is just a baby first step to an operation that we’ll be making 10 times larger, over two further phases of expansion,” Friedland said, highlighting the long-term vision for the project.
Platreef also marks Friedland’s first major venture in South Africa. Ivanhoe Mines holds 64% of the project, while 26% is owned by Black economic empowerment partners, including 20 local communities representing roughly 150,000 residents.
The mine has already become a significant source of employment, with over 2,000 people working on-site, most drawn from nearby communities, underscoring the project’s local economic impact.
Delays and Development Challenges
The Platreef deposit was first identified in the 1980s, but earlier production timelines were delayed due to capital allocation and fluctuations in commodity prices.
“The rescheduling was mainly based around capital expenditure plans related to other projects,” Ivanhoe spokesman Matthew Keevil explained, providing context for the long development period.
He added, “We have been spending quite a bit of time and money at Kamoa-Kakula over the past five to six years and it is not typical to build two tier-one mines at the same time. PGM prices also relatively bottomed over that period, while copper obviously has had a moment in the sun.”
With Platreef now entering production, South Africa is positioning the mine as a flagship of modern, high-tech, Africa-based mining, capable of supplying global green-energy markets while simultaneously supporting local economic growth.

China willing to expand trade with Mongolia -- Chinese premier www.xinhuanet.com

China is willing to further expand trade volume with Mongolia and explore cooperation in emerging fields such as green energy and digital economy, Chinese Premier Li Qiang said here on Tuesday when meeting with Mongolian Prime Minister Gombojav Zandanshatar.
Describing China and Mongolia as close neighbors connected by mountains and rivers, Li said maintaining a long-term, stable, and friendly cooperative relationship serves the fundamental interests of the peoples of both countries.
The meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Mongolian President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh in Beijing in September charted the course for advancing bilateral ties, he added.
Li said China has always regarded Mongolia as an important priority in its neighborhood diplomacy, and is willing to work with Mongolia to take the building of a China-Mongolia community with a shared future as the guiding principle for developing bilateral relations.
China is ready to further strengthen strategic communication with Mongolia, respect and accommodate each other's core interests and major concerns, expand pragmatic cooperation, and promote the continuous growth of the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries, the Chinese premier said.
Noting that China and Mongolia have strong economic complementarity, Li said China is willing to strengthen the alignment of development strategies and enhance cooperation in traditional fields such as mineral and energy resources, infrastructure, and connectivity to forge more drivers for interest convergence and cooperation.
He said that China supports closer exchanges between neighboring Chinese provinces and regions and Mongolia, tapping into the potential for cooperation, and jointly promoting international cooperation in the Altai sub-region.
Both sides should promote exchanges among political parties, academic circle, media and youth, continuously deepen mutual understanding, and enhance mutual trust and friendship, Li said, adding that China is willing to strengthen communication and coordination with Mongolia on regional affairs and jointly safeguard peace and stability for both countries and the region.
Zandanshatar, for his part, extended his congratulations on the successful fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, during which recommendations for the formulation of China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) for economic and social Development were reviewed and approved.
China, he noted, has always adhered to the principles of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness in neighborhood diplomacy.
The relations between Mongolia and China have long been friendly, which Mongolia highly appreciates, he added.
Maintaining friendly cooperation with China is a primary guideline in Mongolia's foreign policy, Zandanshatar said.
He also said that Mongolia firmly adheres to the one-China policy, adding that Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xinjiang and Xizang are inalienable parts of China's territory.
The Mongolian side expresses gratitude to the Chinese side for providing valuable assistance to its economic and social development over a long period of time, he said.
He also expressed Mongolia's readiness to work together with the Chinese side to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, enhance the alignment of development strategies, expand mutually beneficial cooperation in areas such as connectivity, infrastructure construction, mining and green energy, and achieve common development.
Mongolia is also willing to enhance communication and cooperation with China within multilateral frameworks such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and make greater contributions to promoting regional peace, development and prosperity, he added.
