Anglo Plats has given $60 million as well as the government its blessing to do research at their mining precinct facility into all aspects of fuel cell manufacture as well as use.
The whole supply will be investigated up to users.
This bid is also encouraged by the chamber of mines.
At its height many years ago this facility was a world leader with hundreds of skilled people working there. Now with start up again there will be about one hundred workers with scientists on site.
Why should this facility in South Africa be so important above the rest of the world,is a frequently asked question ?
The answer is that we in the past hundred years supplied two thirds of the gold ever found in the world, from our mines. Our mines are amongst the deepest in the world ,some going down between four to six miles !
Slopes underground are as sharp as 22 degrees. At the moment rubber tires can only work in 16 degree slopes. Experiments will be carried out using steel tracks ,of the vechicles ,even it has been suggested top and bottom against the walls, of the tunnels!
