  • Creating a mine-to-market PGM business with a metallurgical processing complex
  • Significant PGM recycling business provides a steady margin and strategic insight into the market
  • Further operational optimisation potential through transfer of “best practices”

Position Sibanye shareholders for potential valuation re-rating by:

  • Being value accretive, per detailed management due diligence
  • Balancing its portfolio operationally and geographically with the addition of a world class operation in an attractive mining jurisdiction
