Rand Refinery (Pty) Limited is the world's largest integrated single-site precious metals refining and smelting complex. It was established in 1920 to refine gold within South Africa, which had previously been refined in London.

Key Information

History

[edit]

It was established in 1920 in Germiston, South Africa, by the Chamber of Mines of South Africa to refine all the gold produced by South Africa's gold mines instead of in London.[1] As of 1919, the Bank of England would receive consignments of raw gold from the producers and issue it to individual refineries, refined and then returned to the Bank for sale, and the hope was that after the Rand Refinery was built, the gold industry would still be financed in London and that the refined gold would be sold in the latter.[2]: 102  On 27 November 1920, Rand Refinery Ltd was registered as a private company, the capital raised from shares of gold mining companies that were members of the Chamber of Mines. The building of the facilities commenced in August 1920.[3] Low-quality ingots would be received from the gold mines and then refined to 99.6% purity and then sold to the South African Reserve Bank for sale around the world on the London and Zurich bullion markets.[4][self-published source][5] By 1922, the supply of gold to London was almost nonexistent and impacted the two major UK refiners, Johnson Matthey and Rothschild.[2]: 104  Rand Refinery is one of five companies accredited as Good Delivery Referees by London Bullion Market Association (LBMA).

Products

[edit]

In recent years, Rand Refinery has evolved from a pure refiner of doré to a more rounded company emphasizing beneficiation. It facilitates a wide range of value-added products, including:

  • cast bars
  • minted bars
  • minted coins
  • coin blanks and medallions
  • semi-fabricated products for the jewellery manufacturing industry

By law, the South African Mint Company is the only company allowed to manufacture South African legal tender coins such as the world-famous Krugerrand. Rand Refinery supplies all the gold used to manufacture the coins. It has been appointed the sole supplier of bullion Krugerrands to primary distributors both locally and internationally.

In addition to its smelting and refining services, Rand Refinery offers metallurgical, logistics, and vault services. It acts as an agent for its precious metal depositing customers, and its global market business unit markets all the precious metal produced by the refinery.

History

Founding and Early Development

The origins of Rand Refinery trace back to the early , amid the burgeoning industry of South Africa's region, which had been ignited by the 1886 . In , the Transvaal Chamber of Mines established the Witwatersrand Co-operative Smelting Works as a precursor facility to process gold and silver by-products from mine reduction works, reducing reliance on exporting these materials to for refining. This initiative laid the groundwork for localized precious metals processing, addressing the inefficiencies and costs associated with overseas shipment. By the late 1910s, growing dissatisfaction among South African gold producers over high refining charges and delays in London prompted a push for an independent facility. On November 27, 1920, Rand Refinery Limited was officially registered as a private company, with initial capital of £50,000 raised through shares limited to gold mining companies affiliated with the Chamber of Mines; an additional £165,000 was secured via debentures to fund construction. The refinery, located in Germiston, adopted the chlorine refining process—recommended by metallurgist Sir T.K. Rose for its efficiency in treating bullion—marking a strategic shift to retain economic value domestically and support the Witwatersrand mines' output. Refining operations commenced late in 1921, with the facility designed to handle all South African gold production from inception. Early operations faced the challenge of scaling to meet surging demand during the post-World War I production boom, starting with an initial annual capacity of 12 million troy ounces (373 tonnes) of fine . This capacity was quickly outpaced as South African output expanded, necessitating rapid infrastructure enhancements in the to achieve full design levels by 1930. A key milestone came in 1921 with the production of the refinery's first London Good Delivery bars, establishing its credibility in international markets and solidifying its role in global trade. These developments not only mitigated logistical vulnerabilities but also positioned Rand Refinery as a cornerstone of South Africa's precious metals sector.

Key Milestones and Expansion

During the 1930s and 1940s, Rand Refinery processed increasing volumes of doré containing both and silver amid a surge in South African production driven by global demand during , with output peaking at around 500 tonnes in 1945 to support Allied monetary needs. These developments included enhanced smelting and refining capacities, enabling the facility to handle larger volumes, which had been part of operations since the refinery's inception but saw scaled-up electrolytic refining facilities for silver. By the , despite post-war production stabilizing at lower levels around 360 tonnes annually, the refinery solidified its role as the central hub for South African precious metals. In 1965, Rand Refinery undertook a major four-year expansion costing R4 million, which added electrolytic refining facilities and modernized operations to meet growing demands. A pivotal milestone came in 1967 with the launch of production in collaboration with the , marking the world's first modern 1-ounce designed to promote South African exports. This innovation, minted from 22-carat alloy, quickly gained international popularity and helped diversify the refinery's output beyond raw . In 2003, Rand Refinery was appointed as one of five LBMA referees, tasked with auditing and maintaining the integrity of the global system. In the 1970s and 1980s, as domestic production began to decline, Rand Refinery diversified into metals refining and value-added products like fabricated bars and coins to sustain growth. During the apartheid era's in the 1980s and 1990s, the refinery adapted by navigating trade restrictions, amid factual allegations from investigations that refined there was sometimes laundered to evade embargoes and fund the regime. Entering the , Rand Refinery invested R1 billion starting in 2010 to modernize operations, introducing automated systems, robotic bar casting, and streamlined processes that boosted efficiency and increased daily production to 1,000 units. This upgrade enhanced the facility's competitiveness in refining , silver, , and . In 2021, the refinery marked its centenary with celebrations highlighting a century of operations, including refined contributions to over one-third of the world's historical supply and ongoing innovations in precious metals processing.

Ownership and Corporate Structure

Shareholders

Rand Refinery has maintained a private ownership structure since its founding in 1920, held by a of South African companies to align refining operations with the needs of producers. Initial shares were limited to members of the Transvaal Chamber of Mines, raising £50,000 in capital exclusively from these industry participants. This consortium model originated from the earlier Co-operative Smelting Works established in 1909 and evolved to focus ownership among key mining entities. Major shareholders include Sibanye-Stillwater (44% stake as of 2024), AngloGold Ashanti, Gold Fields, DRDGOLD (11.3% as of June 2025), and Harmony Gold, with no single majority owner. Historical shifts in ownership reflect broader industry dynamics, including consolidation in the 1990s as smaller miners merged into larger groups like AngloGold and Harmony, reducing the number of shareholders while strengthening ties to primary doré suppliers. The model benefits Rand Refinery by providing stable funding through shared investments, distributing operational risks across mining partners, and enabling direct input from producers who supply doré for refining, thereby ensuring reliability and industry-aligned decision-making.

Rand Refinery is led by Praveen Baijnath, who was appointed on 1 June 2015 and oversees strategic priorities and . The executive team includes key roles such as Peter Bouwer, responsible for day-to-day operations, and Dean Subramanian, appointed in August 2018 to manage financial oversight. The comprises independent non-executive directors, including Chairman Teddy Daka and Fatima Daniels, alongside non-executive directors such as Dr. Harry Ephraim Mashego and Vitesh Maharaj, who represent major shareholders from the South African industry. This composition ensures a focus on , , and compliance with (JSE) standards and international benchmarks. Rand Refinery maintains strict regulatory adherence as an independent private company governed by the South African Companies Act. It complies with the LBMA Responsible Gold Guidance, including requirements for responsible sourcing, and holds LBMA accreditation as one of seven international referees for the system. Additionally, the refinery is certified under ISO 9001 for and ISO 14001 for environmental management. The company implements employment equity policies to promote diversity and inclusion, aligning with South Africa's Broad-Based (B-BBEE) framework through targets for representation and advancement of historically disadvantaged groups. Skills development initiatives include programs via the Ekurhuleni Jewellery Project and The Jewellery Village, which provide training, incubation, and enterprise support for emerging artisans and small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMMEs) in the jewellery sector.

Operations

Refining and Smelting Processes

Rand Refinery processes a variety of input materials, primarily doré bars from gold mines containing approximately 80-95% along with silver and base metals, as well as recycled , jewelry, and industrial by-products. These materials, which may vary in content from a minimum of 50% to over 99%, are received from sources across and globally. The refinery also handles silver-bearing materials and metals (PGMs) such as and integrated into the stream. The process begins with the initial of doré bars and in induction furnaces operating at high frequencies (2,000 Hz) using clay-graphite crucibles, typically handling charges of 125 kg per batch in 20-25 minutes. This step produces molten suitable for refining while allowing for sampling and recovery of s as by-products, such as slags and mattes, which are directed to specialized treatment. For secondary materials like sweeps and concentrates, pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical methods are employed to recover precious metals, minimizing waste through integrated separation. Gold refining employs the Miller process, where chlorine gas is injected into molten bullion held in 500 kg capacity induction furnaces at around 1,150°C for approximately 35 minutes. This chlorination selectively removes impurities—base metals form gaseous or liquid chlorides like FeCl₃, CuCl, and AgCl, which are skimmed off—yielding gold at 99.5% purity (995 fine). The resulting impure gold is then further purified via the Wohlwill electrolytic process, involving an acidic gold chloride electrolyte where anodes of 99.5% gold dissolve and pure gold deposits on cathodes, achieving 99.99% purity (9999 fine) with daily renewal of electrodes. This step also separates PGMs into a sludge for subsequent recovery. Silver refining involves the collection of from the Miller process, which undergoes leaching and chemical reduction to produce 99.9% silver, followed by electrolytic refining in Moebius or Thum cells to reach 99.99% purity in the form of crystals or granules. PGM refining utilizes wet chemical methods, including and solvent extraction on the sludges from , to isolate concentrates of , , and other PGMs, ensuring integrated recovery with minimal environmental impact. These processes emphasize efficiency in impurity separation to support the refinery's closed-loop operations. Quality control is maintained through an on-site assay laboratory employing fire assay techniques to determine and silver content from dip samples taken during and stages, ensuring accuracy via a twin-stream duplicate system compliant with LBMA standards. Advanced instrumental methods, such as (ICP) , are used for precise , alongside energy-dispersive (EDX) for silver verification, providing 24-hour turnaround and certification of all outputs.

Production Capacity and Technology

Rand Refinery possesses a designed annual refining capacity of 450 to 600 tonnes of and approximately 60 tonnes of silver. Current operational utilization stands at around 75% as of , reflecting a reduction driven by the ongoing decline in South African mine output, which fell by over 6% in compared to prior years. This capacity enables the facility to handle diverse feedstocks while maintaining high-purity outputs compliant with LBMA standards. Key technologies at the refinery include mechanized parallel manufacturing lines for efficient casting of gold bars and granules, enhancing throughput and precision in value-added product creation. Recent upgrades feature a installation providing 80% of operational energy as of 2025, with plans to achieve full renewable sourcing by 2027, thereby improving overall energy efficiency. The facility also incorporates pyrometallurgical capabilities upgraded for processing low-grade materials from global sources.
