The Maseve project is located across Elandsfontein 102 JQ and portions of Frischgewaagd 96 JQ, farms. The Maseve Mine exploits two major economic horizons (locally termed reefs) for PGE deposits, namely the Merensky Reef (MR) and Upper Group-2 (UG2) chromitite. The two reefs are mined at depths greater than 500 m below the surface, with the UG2 occurring between 15 and 400 m below the MR in the Bushveld Complex.
