Mining in South Africa was once the main driving force behind the history and development of Africa's most advanced and richest economy. Large-scale and profitable mining started with the discovery of a diamond on the banks of the Orange River in 1867 by Erasmus Jacobs and the subsequent discovery and exploitation of the Kimberley pipes a few years later. Gold rushes to Pilgrim's Rest and Barberton were precursors to the biggest discovery of all, the Main Reef/Main Reef Leader on Gerhardus Oosthuizen's farm Langlaagte, Portion C, in 1886, the Witwatersrand Gold Rush and the subsequent rapid development of the gold field there, the biggest of them all.

  • 南非矿业是指南非境內的採礦業。南非一度依靠境內的採礦業成為非洲最發達的經濟體。1867 年,Erasmus Jacobs在奥兰治河沿岸发现了一颗钻石,随后他在金伯利發現當地礦產富饒,並開始在當地採礦。之後、巴伯顿以及威特沃特斯兰德出現了淘金热,當地同樣出現了不少金礦。 現今南非境內的钻石和黄金产量已不如以往的高峰時期,不過南非的黄金产量仍排名全球第五。該國也是世界上最大的铬、锰、铂、钒和蛭石生产國 ,钛铁矿、钯、金红石和锆的第二大生产国 以及世界第三大煤炭出口国。2012年,南非超过印度成为世界第三大铁矿石出口國。 (zh)

  • L’industrie minière en Afrique du Sud a été le principal moteur de l’histoire et du développement de l’économie du pays qui fut longtemps le plus avancé et le plus riche d’Afrique. L’exploitation minière à grande échelle a commencé avec la découverte d’un diamant sur les rives de la rivière Orange en 1867 par Erasmus Jacobs et la découverte et l’exploitation des filons de Kimberley quelques années plus tard. Les ruées vers l’or à Pilgrim’s Rest et Barberton furent les précurseurs de la plus grande découverte de toutes, le Main Reef, sur la ferme de Gerhardus Oosthuizen Langlaagte en 1886. S'ensuivit la ruée vers l’or du Witwatersrand et l'exploitation du plus grand gisement d’or jamais découvert. (fr)
  • Гірни́ча промисло́вість Півде́нно-Африка́нської Респу́бліки — велика галузь господарства країни, на яку в кінці ХХ століття припадало близько 25 % валової промислової продукції. У 1997 продукція гірничодобувної промисловості становила 8 % ВВП і близько 67 % загальної суми експортних надходжень. (uk)
