Both chrome and PGMs are critical today and increasingly important to decarbonisation, supporting applications across data storage, renewable energy, construction and hybrid vehicles

Platinum Group



Metals

Autocatalyst demand remains strong, supported by tighter emissions standards and hybrid vehicle growth.

Industrial demand is resilient across chemicals, petroleum, electronics and glass, with rhodium linked to high-spec applications.

Emerging technologies, including fuel cells - underpin medium to long term

demand. Rising data storage needs additionally supports ruthenium demand.

Investment and jewellery demand is strengthening, particularly in China, providing additional support to platinum markets.



Chrome

Demand supported by stainless steel production, with additional upside from renewable and green economy metals

Chrome is a key contributor to South Africa's economy, with 9.6% export

CAGR over the past decade

Global stainless steel production reached 64.2 Mt in 2025, up 2.1%YoY

China produced more than 40.8 Mt, 64% of global output

Constructive outlook underpinned by structural supply constraints and diversified exposure

PGM markets remain in structural deficit

Supportive PGM price environment

Chrome market provides stable, counter-cyclical earnings base

Favourable industry dynamics

Third consecutive year of platinum deficit, with ~690koz shortfall in 2025 and deficits expected through the decade

Constrained primary supply (South Africa) and limited new project pipeline supporting pricing

Strong rally into 2025/26, with prices exceeding ~$2,200/oz in recent periods

Management expects current or higher price levels to persist near term

Demand resilience from autocatalysts, industrial uses, and emerging hydrogen economy

Continued demand from stainless steel sector, particularly China

Tight supply conditions supporting pricing stability and margin resilience

Limited new PGM supply globally; declining shaft base and high capital barriers

Recycling growth insufficient to close supply-demand gap

Transition to underground mining unlocks long-life, scalable production
