Sibanye Stillwater may spend R3.9 billion ($270 million) on extending the life of the Marikana operations it acquired with the purchase of Lonmin Plc two years ago, after platinum-group metals rallied.
Chief Executive Officer Neal Froneman said last month that Sibanye plans further investments to boost PGMs output from South Africa. The CEO of the worldâs No. 1 platinum miner said the metal could climb by more than 80% over the next four to five years as the global economy recovers and supply dwindles.

PLATINUM PRICES soared to new 6-year highs Monday as industrial commodities rose and global shares hit new peaks on optimism about the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines, plus new fiscal aid from Washington,
writes Atsuko Whitehouse at BullionVault. Oil prices soared to 13-month highs above $60 per barrel after the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen said it destroyed a military drone fired by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels.
Prices for silver – which finds nearly 60% of its annual demand from industrial uses – rose 1.1% to $27.65 per ounce after gaining 1.5% last week. Finding two-thirds of its annual demand from industrial uses led by auto-catalysts, platinum climbed 4.1% by Monday lunchtime, breaching $1300 per ounce for the first time since October 2014.
