Abstract
At start-up in 1993, the PPRust Platinum Mine water supply of over 2 million<br>cubic metres per annum was entirely sourced from water wellfields located over<br>mafic Bushveld rocks up to 9km north of the mine. The aquifers supporting this<br>supply were mapped, drilled and evaluated in a geophysically-driven programme<br>compressed into a 5 month period during mid 1992.
