Platinum group metals (PGMs) miner Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) expects to ramp up its production to between 75% and 80% of capacity by year-end, CEO Natascha Viljoen said on June 18.
Viljoen explained that Amplats had started up 20% of its production profile after the Level 5 lockdown was eased to Level 4 in May, with good commodity prices and a strong balance sheet having helped the company to still pay salaries during the standstill and ramp-up periods.
