31 March, 2015
Anglo American Platinum Limited (the “Company” or “Anglo American Platinum”) welcomes the statement on the mining industry’s transformation by Mineral Resources Minister Adv. Ngoako Ramatlhodi today. “The Minister’s collaborative approach and agreement to seeking a declaratory order on differences of opinion relating to whether terminated HDSA ownership should be considered in the granting of future mining rights, will provide a sound base for investment in the industry”, said Anglo American Platinum CEO Chris Griffith.
“Anglo American Platinum is fully committed to the transformation of the South African mining industry and is confident that the Company meets the transformation objectives contained in the Mining Charter. We are looking forward to the detailed report on our performance against the Charter’s targets and engaging with the Department of Mineral Resource to ensure a transformed and sustainable mining industry in South Africa.”
