Mining Workshop - Rustenburg

Sustainable mining of natural resources is a cornerstone for our standard of living and prosperity. Mined materials have a wide array of applications. They play a critical role in construction (e.g., building frameworks) and power generation, and are used as commodities and minerals for industrial applications. To play a positive and sustainable economic role in society, mined metals and minerals must be explored for, extracted, transported, and processed according to quality control processes that deliver safe and high-quality products. A wide array of Anton Paar instruments can contribute to every step of this development and value chain.

Join us on Wednesday, 28 August 2024 from 08h00 to 16h00 in Rustenburg for our Mining Workshop where we will showcase our Process and Lab solutions.
