Stillwater deal seen positioning Sibanye as globally competitive mining champion

The acquisition of America’s Stillwater Mining has the potential to put South Africa’s Sibanye on the inside track of low-cost mechanised primary mining as well as provide it with deep insight into secondary mining – the recycling of platinum-group metals (PGMs). Both these inputs will help Sibanye to become the globally competitive South African mining champion that it is going all out to be.
