Reivilo

Reivilo is a town situated 100 km southwest of Vryburg on the Ghaap Plateau in North West Province of South Africa.

Large scale lead and zinc mining took place in the district.

The main farming business is cattle, this is dictated by the geology of the area, because there is not enough arable soil for agriculture.

Bedrock exists right to the ground surface, being an ancient and hard dolomite, with extraordinary stromatolitic features, representing life forms more than 2 billion years old.

In the very early 1980s Shell South Africa (Pty) Ltd developed a lead and zinc mine near Reivilo called Pering.
