South Africa is famous for its Gold mines.
The country also mines a lot of other metals, including Platinum, Palladium, Copper, Chrome, Nickel, Titanium and very large quantities of Iron ore.
It also has a lot of other naturally occurring minerals of many different varieties like pyrites and diamonds.
Diamonds are formed inside the earth at depths over 100KM below the surface. At this depth, the pressure and the high temperatures( over 1000 degrees) are ideal for diamonds to be formed from graphite to carbon.

Mostly Gold and Dimonds (i think :)
Gold and platinum.
Copper
Gold is mainly found in the Witswatersrand area, which is located in Gauteng province.
All metals are originally mined, though some can be obtained by post-mining recycling, eg: crushing and treating old electronics to recover gold.
This question is impossible to answer, since diamonds are mined from the earth. The diamonds in South Africa -- or anywhere -- can't be counted until they are brought to the surface and counted.
Diamonds are found in India, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Russia and South Africa, plus additional countries on the African continent. It can be said that commercial diamond mining became popular when a volcanic pipe that brought diamonds to the earth's surface, was found near the city of Kimberly, South Africa in 1867. Diamonds are found on every continent on earth except Europe and Antarctica.
Columbia, which is in South America, is the place where most emeralds are found today. Historically, emeralds have also been found in Africa, India, and Italy.
Lead and other metals (zinc, copper, and silver) are mined by the Black Mountain mine at Aggenys, about 65 km west of Pofadder.
