Wilma Swarts @MetalsFocus leads a discussion on the outlook for PGMs with Emma Townshend @Implats & Kirsti Kuhn @Heraeus #joburgindaba #pgmsindaba

Natascha Viljoen @AngloAmericanZA and Nico Muller @Implats discussing their perspectives on the PGMs industry with Sandra du Toit @EYnews

Nico Muller @Implats, we have confidence in the long-term PGMs market. We are working to ensure that we are relevant and flexible in future. We are looking at developing assets within our stable. Constraints in processing capacity is a challenge #joburgindaba #mining

Dr Sydney Mufamadi, to realise the net zero emission target by 2050 we need to start building the roadmap now, we need engagement from multiple parties around this issue, more investment in R&D and play a leading role in the evolution of global standards #joburgindaba #mining

Dr Sydney Mufamadi, we need Government to support the structural adjustment of certain industries and we need to interact with policy makers to show them the importance of assistance for productivity improvement programmes in mining #joburgindaba #mining

Sifiso Sibiya @Implats - we are using hydrogen in both base and precious metals refineries. We have a fully operational hydrogen-powered forklift. We are currently testing a stationary fuel cell #pgmsindustryday #joburgindaba

Alex Mhembere, Zimplats – over the years we've had our ups and downs with Government but they’ve understood our concerns and in November 2020 the indigenisation legislation was removed. Our approach is that we need to co-exist and work together #pgmsindustryday #joburgindaba

Emma Townshend @Implats - we don’t react to price in the short term, we look more medium to long term. Projects are long lead-time investments. Prices are currently restoring balance sheets and increasing cash flow #pgmsindustryday #joburgindaba

Given the fundamental market dynamics there’s a strong future for unconventional mining for the next few years. Our ambition is to rebalance our portfolio. Creating safer, more mechanized operations is critical - Nico Muller @Implats #pgmsindustryday #joburgindaba

We want to de-risk our source of revenue towards shallower, more mechanized operations. We want to have a rich project pipeline so that we can invest in those opportunities that fit with our strategic intentions - Nico Muller @Implats, #pgmsindustryday #joburgindaba

SA can drive the improvement of the PGMs sector and can lead it. The hydrogen economy can play a leading role as a driver of clean energy production. We are working with partners to ensure that we develop hydrogen technologies @GwedeMantashe1 #pgmsindustryday #joburgindaba

The pandemic has reminded us that we are stronger and can do more together, this is what I have experienced working with the mining industry over the past year since we entered lockdown @GwedeMantashe1 #pgmsindustryday #joburgindaba

Peter Davey: Mining has always been involved in the Social aspect in terms of upskilling, education, housing, health. Now we’re focusing more on the Environmental side - how to mitigate the effects of our activities. We just don’t tell the story well enough #joburgindaba

Nico Muller, Implats: We have world-class assets (in SA and Zimbabwe). Venturing into North America was not a decision to diversify geographically. It made perfect sense at the time given the palladium price. It does however offer potential additional opportunities #joburgindaba
