The Chrome Recovery Plant comprises of four modules and the concentrates produced are combined and pumped to a concentrate stacker and stockpad area. The Amandelbult Concentrator consists of 3 plants, namely, UG2 #1, UG2 #2 and Merensky Plant. UG2 #1 and UG2 #2 plants predominantly treat UG2 ore with the surplus treated at the Merensky Plant. The Merensky Plant can process UG2, Merensky, UG2 opencast and waste material. The Amandelbult Chrome Recovery Plant (CRP) module 1 & 2 was successfully commissioned in 2016 to recover chromite in the UG2 slurry generated by UG2 #1 and UG2 #2 plants respectively.
