HARARE, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Anglo American Platinum on Thursday reported a 25% fall in refined platinum
group metal (PGM) output in 2022, due to the delayed Polokwane
smelter rebuild, power outages, as well as lower mine production
and grades.
The Johannesburg-listed Amplats said refined PGM production
from its operations was 3.831,1 million ounces in 2022, down
from 5.138,4 million ounces the previous year. The miner said
its refined PGM production guidance for 2023 was unchanged,
between 3.6 million and 4 million ounces, subject to the impact
of Eskom power cuts.
