Barberton Gold Mines South Africa
Barberton Mines, South Africa
Barberton first produced gold in 1886, after the discovery of the first gold nugget by Edwin Bray.
The mining complex consists of three mines: Fairview, Consort and Sheba. At present Barberton produces approximately 100,000oz of gold per annum, at an average cash cost of approximately US$45/oz.
Barberton Mines is the birthplace of BIOX® (‘Biological Oxidation’), an environmentally friendly process of releasing the gold from the sulphide that surrounds, using organisms that perform this process naturally.
Barberton is still used as the training facility for all BIOX® plants globally.
