Can tax policy catalyse chrome beneficiation?

Over the past six  to eight months, there has been considerable discussion in the market regarding potential export controls or taxes on chrome ore aimed at supporting the South African ferrochrome industry. However, the core challenge facing this sector is not the availability of chrome ore feedstock – which remains sufficient – but rather securing access to sustainable, competitively priced electricity. The critical question is: How can mineral beneficiation be advanced in a way that strengthens the industry without adversely impacting existing operations?
