Welcome to AngloGold Ashanti's Mponeng Mine
The finished product
After cleaning and weighing, the gold bars are transported to the Rand Refinery in Germiston, near Johannesburg, where they are further refined to at least 99% purity. These are then sold into the global gold markets where they are used for jewellery, electrical components and as a form of currency.
