FOREWORD Due to the dynamic nature of the industrial minerals industry in South Africa, it was deemed necessary, once again, to update the Minerals Bureau's directory on these commodities. The directory not only plays a pivotal role within the industry, but also presents a holistic framework of the industry to potential investors. It therefore plays an important role in promoting the country's mineral industry. The industrial mineral industry of South Africa is relatively small compared with other metal/ mineral industries in South Africa, but is still very important due to its strategic value. The industry employed about 20 210 persons during 2003. This figure increases substantially if the add-on industries are also taken into account. During 2003, some 28 different industrial mineral commodities, excluding by-products from non-industrial mineral operations, were produced from about 750 mines/quarries. Sand and aggregate producers represent about 70 percent of all industrial mineral producers. There were some 95 producers of clays (plastic, refractory and special clays), 52 dimension stone, 24 limestone and dolomite, 17 salt and 16 silica producers in 2003. Aggregate and sand, phosphate rock concentrate, sulphur, dimension stone, andalusite (alumino-silicate), vermiculite, silica and fluorspar are South Africa’s major industrial minerals with regard to sales value. Most South African industrial mines/quarries can be classified as small-scale. In addition, various forms of sulphur were recovered as by-products from other operations. The value of total sales of industrial minerals amounted to more than R5,8 billion during 2003. Aggregate and sand, dimension stone and salt are the subjects of separate directories (D14, D9 and D4 respectively). Data contained in this, the ninth edition, were supplied by the various mining, manufacturing and marketing companies listed, to whom due acknowledgement is made. Where available e-mail and web site addresses are also included. Further details relating to South Africa's industrial minerals are given in the Bureau's annual review of the South African mineral industry (SAMI). We hope that this revised edition will once again prove itself valuable to the producers, marketers and consumers of South Africa's industrial mineral commodities. N. Van Averbeke May 2004 DIRECTOR i
