Bauba makes first chrome shipment in platinum exploration funding move

The JSE-listed Bauba Platinum, which is mining and selling chrome ore to fund its platinum exploration, this week shipped the first run-of-mine output from its maiden chrome horizon blast at the Moeijelik operation. Bauba last year entered into a two-year chrome-ore supply agreement with ASA Metals, which is augmenting supply from its own chrome mine and smelter located some 30 km from Moeijelik.
