MTE Catalogues Rustenburg 2017 | Page 3

A MESSAGE FROM THE ORGANISERS Welcome to Rustenburg! The Mining and Technical Exhibitions (MTE) team will hit the road once again to visit Rustenburg on 8 June 2017. The town is situated in North West Province, and is one of the oldest towns in the country. The town is also referred to as the platinum city because of the platinum mines surrounding the town. In South Africa, platinum was discovered during the 1920s by Hans Merensky. Two of the world’s biggest platinum mines are found in Rustenburg. Mine operations at the mine vary from open-cast to underground mining, as well milling, flotation, drying and smelting among others. Expected visitors for this show include Sibanye platinum mines, Impala platinum mines, smaller chrome mines as well as the processing operations to go with it. Exhibitors from automation, fall of ground management, track maintenance and fatigue management will be at the show to showcase their latest products and services. These are just a handful of visitors and exhibitors as there will be many more at the show. So, don’t miss out and be sure to be there! For those who are not familiar with MTE, this travelling exhibition company has been running for over two decades, providing a unique platform for suppliers of top-of-the-line mining and industrial equipment to showcase their goods to a community hungry for latest technology, services and information – right on its doorstep. We trust the expo will be a rewarding experience – whether you are visiting or exhibiting. However, we are always open to suggestions as to how we can make future expos even more accommodating for you and your business.
