A MESSAGE FROM THE ORGANISER

Swartklip is a town located in the Limpopo province of South Africa . Owned by Anglo American , this platinum producing Union Mine is found 15km west of the Northam town in Limpopo and North West provinces of South Africa . The mine operates under a mining right , covering a total of 119km 2 in the north-western section of the Bushveld Igneous Complex ( BIC ), which is the richest source of platinum group metals ( PGM ).

The BIC is a large layered igneous intrusion within the Earth ' s crust which has been tilted and eroded and now outcrops around what appears to be the edge of a great geological basin , including Mpumalanga , Gauteng , North West and Limpopo provinces , which covers a pear-shaped area .

This is MTE ’ s eleventh exhibition in the area .

For those who are not familiar with MTE , this travelling exhibitions company has been running for more than two decades , providing a unique platform for suppliers of top-ofthe-line mining and industrial equipment to showcase their goods to a community hungry for new 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 on how we can make future expos even more accommodating for you and your business .
