South African National Survey of Research and Experimental Development: R&D spending in the mining sector at a glance, 2018/19. Fact sheet 41

South Africa is one of the world���s leading mining and mineral-processing countries with a long-standing, highly developed mining sector. In 2019, export earnings contributed more than 60% of total mining sales, supplementing an added value of approximately R226 billion to GDP. Mining, metal processing and other mining-related companies engage in considerable research to develop sophisticated technologies, products, and processes.
