Multinational mining and metals group Sibanye-Stillwater has appointed Richard Cox chief regional officer (CRO) for its Southern African operations, effective July 1.

He has been acting CRO for the region since May and was an executive VP of processing for the region before that.

Cox joined the company as senior VP: strategy advisor in November 2020. He has extensive experience in the mining industry and has occupied various leadership roles across a range of commodities and geographies, including at Anglo American Platinum, which is now Valterra Platinum, at Anglo American North Americas in project work; and at AngloGold Ashanti’s South African and Malian operations.

He holds a BSc in Mining from the University of the Witwatersrand, an MBA from the Gordon Institute of Business Science and has completed the Stanford Executive Programme at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business.

“We welcome Richard's promotion to the C-Suite, and his appointment as CRO: SA region. He ably stepped in as acting CRO: SA region in May 2025, filling a critical role previously occupied by CEO designate Richard Stewart, ensuring continuity and confirming his capability.

"His appointment followed an intensive recruitment process involving both internal and external candidates. His appointment highlights the quality and depth of internal leadership at Sibanye-Stillwater and validates our succession processes,” comments outgoing group CEO Neal Froneman.
