Mining Weekly editor Martin Creamer reports growing exploration and mining activity around copper in the Northern Cape, alongside renewed attention to South Africa's platinum group metals (PGMs) sector, with Mintek pursuing plans to add value to PGMs and Sibanye-Stillwater expanding its PGM project portfolio in South Africa.
PGM demand under scrutinyCreamer notes that Sibanye-Stillwater is calling for new longer-term applications for PGMs as autocatalyst demand faces structural change from the rise of electric vehicles, with producers funding research to secure demand into the mid-2030s and green hydrogen offering potential upside.
