ANGLO American says platinum group metals (PGMs) output at its Zimbabwean unit, Unki Mine, slightly retreated by one percent to 179 700 ounces in the first nine months of 2024 from 182 000 ounces in the comparable period last year.
The marginal drop reflects Unki’s struggles to match its previous year’s performance down to operational inefficiencies and external factors.
It has been a tough year for the platinum miners who have withstood diminishing commodity prices and a general upscaling of operational costs.
