Present Day Metallurgical Engineering On The Rand...

"Present Day Metallurgical Engineering On The Rand..." explores the metallurgical practices prevalent in the Witwatersrand gold mines of South Africa during the early 20th century. Authored by John Yates and Hennen Jennings, this volume offers a detailed account of the engineering techniques employed in the extraction and processing of gold ore. The book provides insights into the challenges and innovations that defined the industry, making it a valuable resource for understanding the historical development of metallurgical engineering.

The inclusion of an appendix by Hennen Jennings on the economics of the Transvaal gold mining industry adds a crucial economic perspective to the technological discussions. This historical work is essential for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in the intersection of engineering, economics, and the gold mining industry in South Africa.
