SELEBI-PHIKWE: The year 2015 promises to be a good one for Selebi-Phikwe as the town experienced several economic advancements in 2014, led primarily by its mainstay, BCL Mine and other stakeholders.

In 2014, government moved to wholly acquire BCL Mine, after successfully negotiating with previous co-shareholders Norilsk Nickel International for the outstanding six percent, under a mutual deal.

The Mine’s Polaris II strategy, which aims to diversify and extend the mine’s existence beyond 2020 and to economically develop Selebi Phikwe through a variety of initiatives, also kicked up a gear in 2014.
