The Karo Platinum and Great Dyke entries are taken from Black Crystal’s own published project record. The remaining markers are sample entries showing how the Atlas behaves; it would be populated with your real project register during the build, with client names hidden where confidentiality requires it.
Case studies
Where confidentiality permits, we publish the challenge, the approach and the outcome. Where it does not, the sector and district appear without the client name.

An Environmental and Social Impact Assessment completed to IFC Performance Standards for a platinum project, covering baseline studies, impact assessment and management planning to the standard international lenders apply.
Client: Great Dyke Investments · Year: 2016
