Abstract

Hlstorically South Africa has enjoyed a privileged position with its vast natural resource base in that it has.not needed to generate wealth but has merely explored this base, The only true way to create wealth, is to add value to a commodity by means of beneficiation, South Africa is the world's largest producer of vanadium accounting for approximately 70% of the western world's requirements. Unfortunately the South African producers of vanadium mainly export vanadium in the form of slag and pentoxide, instead or ferrovanadium and other prime alloys. ( Abbreviation abstract)
