SSW share price on Johannesburg Stock Exchange

Sibanye-Stillwater Limited is a leading international precious metals mining company, with a diverse portfolio of Platinum Group Metal (PGM) operations in the United States and Southern Africa, gold operations and projects in South Africa, and copper, gold, and PGM exploration properties in North and South America. The company is the world’s largest primary producer of platinum, the second largest primary producer of palladium, and the third-ranking top tier gold producer, on a gold-equivalent basis. Sibanye-Stillwater is also a prominent producer of rhodium and other PGMs and associated minerals such as chrome. The group is the globally leading recycler and processor of spent PGM catalytic converter materials.

Formed in February 2013 as Sibanye Gold Limited, the company has since pursued a strategy of organic and acquisitive growth, including the acquisition of the Cooke operations from Gold One International in 2013 and the Burnstone project from Wits Gold in 2014. The Kroondal mine and the Platinum Mile retreatment facility, both in the Rustenburg area, South Africa, were also later acquired in 2016. Late that same year, Sibanye made a formal US$2.2 billion offer to acquire the Stillwater Mining Company in the United States which constituted the largest PGM transaction globally in over a decade at the time. The deal was completed in May 2017, following which the company began trading as Sibanye-Stillwater.
