Key highlights

• In the first quarter of 2014, the mining and quarrying industry reflected negative growth of 24.7% over the fourth quarter of 2013, due to lower production in gold, platinum and diamond mining.
• The Northern Cape, Limpopo and Mpumalanga Provinces account for the majority of the country's iron ore production.
• South Africa's iron ore production in 2013 was estimated to have increased marginally over the previous year, despite domestic consumption having increased by around 6.3% over 2012, with most of the iron ore consumed by the domestic steel industry.
• Capacity additions at existing mines and new iron ore projects which are scheduled to commence operations, are expected to increase South Africa's iron ore production.
