Beeshoek Mine is around 65km south of Khumani Mine near the town of Postmasburg, in the Northern Cape province. It produced all our iron-ore output for decades from the mid-1960s. Over the years, a series of large-scale infrastructure projects have maximised efficiency and productivity on site. These included a full washing and screening plant installed in 1975, and a jig plant to beneficiate off-grade ore, completed in 2001. Assmang commissioned a new opencast mine, Beeshoek South, in 1999. The bulk of the iron ore mined at Beeshoek is being sold locally and 350 000 tons are exported via the Saldanha Bay iron ore bulk terminal.
