What better way to understand the scale of a mine than by air?
Mogalakwena is our flagship platinum operation, located near the town of Mokopane within the Mogalakwena Local Municipality, which is one of the six local municipalities that form part of the Waterberg District, situated in the Western quadrant of the Limpopo Province in north eastern South Africa.
Mogalakwena mine was established in 1993, is the largest open pit platinum mine in the world, and is 100% owned by Anglo American.
