JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – As part of its operational readiness plan for starting production at Project 1 at its flagship Western Bushveld joint venture (WBJV) asset, South Africa-focused miner Platinum Group Metals (PTM) has hired full-time local mining specialists.

The expanded leadership team included the addition of a mine manager, financial manager, head of engineering, head of human resources development and a safety and environment manager.

The team would work to progress Project 1, which was expected to start production in the fourth quarter of this year.

Company COO Peter Busse, a mine builder and manager with over 40 years’ experience, would oversee the operating team, comprising GM David Ngubane; safety, health and environment manager Leon Lewis; engineering manager Curt von Graevenitz; financial manager Schalk Engelbrecht; mine manager Rowan Ray and human resources development superintendent Deslin Johnson.

"This is an exciting and pivotal time for us. With funding for mine completion secure and the WBJV Project 1 75% complete, the addition of these new local team members to our 1 700-plus person strong construction contracting team provides us with the expertise to take us successfully into production at a promising time for platinum and palladium," PTM CEO and president Michael Jones said.
