Mineral Resources of the Republic of South Africa is an important South African geological and mining reference work issued by the Department of Mines, Geological Survey, and edited by C. B. Coetzee. This substantial fifth edition from 1976 provides an extensive overview of the Republic’s mineral wealth, geological formations, mining industries, and economically significant deposits during one of the most productive eras in South African mining history.
Compiled as Handbook 7 of the Geological Survey, the volume serves as both a scientific reference and an industrial record of the country’s mineral development. Topics include gold, diamonds, coal, platinum, chromium, manganese, uranium, iron ore, asbestos, copper, and numerous other strategic minerals that shaped South Africa’s economy and global mining importance. Mineral Resources contains technical data, geological observations, maps, tables, and detailed analyses valuable to researchers, collectors, mining historians, geologists, engineers, and Africana enthusiasts.
This title remains sought after by collectors of South African industrial history, mining literature, and Geological Survey publications. It is particularly desirable for institutions, researchers, and those interested in the development of mineral extraction in Southern Africa during the twentieth century.
Mineral Resources is presented in its original green gilt-lettered hardcover binding, with the gilt work remaining bright and attractive. The dust jacket shows moderate wear consistent with age and handling. Internally, the book is well bound, with foxing present and an old ink price and ownership stamp noted on the endpaper. Overall, this is a very good copy of an increasingly difficult-to-source South African geological reference title.
