Messina Platinum Mines Limited appears to refer to a mining company historically associated with platinum group metals (PGMs) in South Africa, particularly in the Limpopo province. Here’s what I found based on available information:
Background
1. Location: The Messina platinum mines were situated near the town of Musina (formerly Messina) in Limpopo, South Africa, close to the Zimbabwe border.
2. Operations: The mines primarily extracted platinum group metals (PGMs), including platinum, palladium, and rhodium, alongside other minerals like copper and nickel.
3. Ownership: Over time, ownership may have changed due to mergers or acquisitions in South Africa’s mining sector.
Historical Context
– Messina was historically known for its copper deposits (Musina Copper Mines), but PGMs became significant later.
– The region is part of the Bushveld Igneous Complex, one of the world’s richest PGM reserves.
Current Status
– The name “Messina Platinum Mines Limited” might not correspond to an active entity today. Many South African PGM assets are now consolidated under larger companies like:
– Sibanye-Stillwater
– Impala Platinum (Implats)
– Anglo American Platinum (Amplats)

Possible Confusion
– If you’re referring to a specific company registered recently, verify its status on:
– [CIPC](https://www.cipc.co.za/) (South African Companies Register)
– [JS.jpg)
https://www.jse.co.za/) (Johannesburg Stock Exchange) for listed entities.
