+0.48Valterra Platinum is one of the world’s leading integrated producers of platinum group metals (PGMs). We are always guided by our purpose of unearthing value to better our world.
We safely and responsibly mine PGMs and their associated co-products at our long-life mines in South Africa and Zimbabwe, before smelting and refining them at our own processing facilities. Our processing facilities include our Base Metals Refinery, the largest producer of nickel cathode in South Africa, and our Precious Metals Refinery, which is one of the most technologically advanced plants of its kind.
Our expertise spans the full breadth of our integrated value chain, including mining, processing, sales, trading and market development.
Through our marketing offices in Johannesburg, London, Singapore and Shanghai, we deliver high-quality products to our international customer base. We also contribute to the market development of the broader PGM industry through partnerships with our customers and research institutions in the industrial, investment and jewellery sectors.
We are committed to zero harm, integrating sustainability into everything we do, capital allocation discipline, and delivering on our strategic priorities as a leading integrated PGM producer. As a safe, sustainable, competitive and profitable business, we consistently strive to benefit our country, our communities, our people and our stakeholders.

Valterra Platinum is a leading primary producer of PGMs, providing a complete resource-to-market service, supplying our network of global customers with a range of responsibly mined, refined, and traded products.
Committed to achieving our goal of zero harm, we work to extract every possible ounce of PGMs from the ore body in a safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible way while reducing energy and water usage and cutting waste.
Our operations are in the PGM-rich Bushveld Complex in South Africa and Great Dyke in Zimbabwe.
We are focused on maintaining our competitive position and redefining the PGM industry. To achieve this, we will continue to think, behave and deliver in radically different ways.
We operate across the value chain to produce PGMs (platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium and ruthenium) and base metals (nickel, copper and UG2 chrome concentrate). Through our integrated value chain, we are able to sustainably deliver high-quality products for our customers.
Our Precious Metals Refinery is one of the most technologically advanced plants of its kind, while our Base Metals Refinery is the largest producer of nickel cathode in South Africa.
Our business is at the heart of the broader Southern African economic and social landscape. We are committed to working towards a safe, sustainable, competitive and profitable business that benefits our host countries, our communities, our people and shareholders.
Our PGMs help drive the transition to a more sustainable mobility mix, whether enabling hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicles, or through the potential of efficient lithium sulphur-based batteries in battery electric vehicles.
PGMs support a wide potential range of Industrial use cases, from the computing power increasingly needed to support the AI revolution to the production of carbon-neutral feedstocks such as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
We mine metals that make modern life possible, in ways that are safer, smarter, and more responsible.
Our mining, smelting and refining operations are located in South Africa’s world-renowned Bushveld Igneous Complex and Zimbabwe’s Great Dyke.
We offer a complete resource-to-market service, marketing our metals globally and supplying our network of customers with a range of mined, recycled and traded products from our hubs in Johannesburg, London, Singapore and Shanghai.

Our values define what we stand for and how we work.
They include:
Keep yourself safe. Be your brother’s and sister’s keeper. Treat people with respect.
Do what you say. Take pride in what you do. Find a better way forward.
Remove barriers. Unite to achieve great things. Make people feel they belong.
Our name and brand embody who we are. They reflect who we are, what we stand for and where we’re going.
Our name speaks to our work as an agile, performance-focused company and the value we create. It is made up of the following components:
"Val” represents the value we create, not just in what we mine, but in the way we work, the opportunities we create and our influence on society.
Our logo brings our name and work to life.
The V ties into our name and represents several concepts, including an investment graph, our mine shafts and pits, and our business taking flight.
“Terra”, meaning earth in Latin, speaks to our foundation, our responsibility and our commitment to sustainability and progress.
The horizontal line on the left stands for the ways in which we transform an ordinary landscape into one that unearths the minerals the world needs.
The line’s rise and movement on the right of the V symbolises the rest of our value chain, and how our PGMs move through processing and marketing to our global customer base.
Shows the focus of our company and differentiates us as one of the world’s largest platinum producers.
This work is also communicated through the three lines of our logo, which represent the three distinct divisions of our business: mining, processing and marketing.
Our identity is a statement of intent, one that reflects our resilience, ambition and opportunity to create shared value.
