Overview
What Sibanye-Stillwater does
Johannesburg-based precious metals group built through a run of acquisitions after Gold Fields spun off its older South African gold mines in the early 2010s. It is one of the world's largest primary producers of platinum, palladium and rhodium and a major gold producer. Richard Stewart, who succeeded founding CEO Neal Froneman, has put further dealmaking on hold in favour of cost cuts and organic projects.
Its South African PGM mines sit on the western and eastern limbs of the Bushveld Complex, and its South African gold operations include Driefontein, Kloof and Beatrix; it also holds half of the Mimosa PGM mine in Zimbabwe. Outside Africa it runs the Stillwater and East Boulder PGM mines in Montana, the Century zinc tailings operation in Australia and the Keliber lithium project in Finland.
