Deep beneath South Africa’s Bushveld Complex lies one of the most extraordinary mineral repositories on Earth: a vast suite of layered igneous rocks containing the largest vanadium resources in the world. The Bushveld Complex, a colossal mafic layered intrusion covering roughly 65,000 square kilometers, hosts magnetite-rich layers that are laterally continuous over tens or even hundreds of kilometers, with vanadium ore grades reaching up to 1.5 weight percent V2O5.
