Laboratories
The CRB focuses on adding value to the SA national mineral and chemical resource base found in the North-West and Southern Gauteng provinces. This can be divided into two key knowledge areas, i.e. metal-based resources (such as the platinum group metals and chromium) and carbon-based resources (such as petrochemicals, plant oils and…
