The palladium-rich project is situated nearly 350km west of Johannesburg in the North West Province of South Africa.

According to estimates, the KalPlats project is estimated to hold measured and indicated resources totalling 69.91 million tonnes (Mt) grading at 1.48g/t 3E and inferred mineral resources of 56.68Mt grading 1.62g/t 3E at the known deposits.

This historical mineral estimate on platinum, palladium and gold mineralisation was published in 2014 by Coffey Mining Consultants.

Glacier, however, is not treating the estimate as current.
