Two Rivers Platinum Mine Bursary Programme 2026 – Apply Now

The tertiary Students from the lower income families are welcomed to Submit their Application on the New Announced Two Rivers Platinum Mine Bursary Programme for the academic year 2026.

Two Rivers Platinum Mine is a joint venture between African Rainbow Minerals (ARM) (54%) and Impala Platinum (46%) and is managed by ARM. The operation is situated on the farm Dwarsrivier on the southern part of the eastern limb of the Bushveld Complex some 35 kilometres south-west of Burgersfort in Limpopo, South Africa. The operation comprises three on-reef decline shafts and a UG2 concentrator plant and has a life-of-mine offtake agreement with Impala Refining Services (IRS). Currently, the Merensky concentrator plant is under construction.

Platinum was first discovered in the area by renowned explorer Hans Merensky on the nearby farm Maandagshoek (now Modikwa Platinum) in the 1920s. Rivers Platinum, the JV between Avmin and Implats, secured the platinum rights in December 2001. Subsequent corporate activity involving Avmin, ARM and Harmony resulted in the transfer of Avmin’s share in Two Rivers to a new, empowered platinum entity, ARM Platinum, a division of ARM. The joint venture partners began development of the Two Rivers project in June 2005.
