South Africa is a world leader in mining. The country is famous for its abundance of mineral resources, accounting for a significant proportion of world production and reserves, and South African mining companies are key players in the global industry. One of the highlights of the IMA 2014 Meeting will be the field trips around southern Africa to experience this rich mineral heritage for yourself.
