About This Item
Cape Town: Howard Timmins, 1955 "South Africa's mineral wealth is one of her greatest blessings. From the gold mines of the Witwatersrand and the Free State to the diamond fields of Alexander Bay, the copper workings of Messina and the coal fields of Middelburg, the country's prosperity radiates from the nucleus of her mineral exploitations. It is therefore not surprising that the men, who, through their knowledge and skill, discovered this hidden wealth and set the huge wheels of industry in motion, should occupy an important place in the annals of our history. Dr. Hans Merensky is one of these men. It was not without reason that he was called The Wizard Geologist, for his geological discoveries rank amongst the most important not only in South Africa, but in the world. In the comparatively short space of twenty-six years, he was responsible for opening up important deposits of platinum, diamonds, chrome, vermiculite and phosphate, and the combined value of these deposits is astronomical". Covers slightly marked. Foxing and slight chipping on flyleaf with ink writing and library stamp. B&W pics. Size: 5" X 8"
