Southern Sphere Platinum is a mineral exploration and mine development company holding prospecting and mining rights for platinum group metals (PGMs) and chrome in the Steelpoort area of the Sekhukhune District, Limpopo. Its projects in the area include the Goliath project, roughly 16km west-southwest of Steelpoort, and the nearby Kingfisher opencast project. Southern Sphere Platinum is a distinct, smaller mine developer in the Steelpoort PGM belt and is not affiliated with larger platinum producers such as Northam Platinum, Royal Bafokeng Platinum, or Sibanye-Stillwater.
Alongside its mine development work, the company has run community and education initiatives in the Steelpoort area, including donating science kits to local secondary schools and providing accredited skills training (such as home-based care and heavy machinery operation courses) to community members, as reported by the Lowvelder/Citizen in 2026.
As part of this community investment, Southern Sphere Platinum runs a bursary programme for students from the Sekhukhune District studying towards qualifications relevant to its mining and environmental operations.
