ANGLO American says platinum group metals (PGMs) output at its Zimbabwean unit, Unki Mine declined three percent to 117 500 ounces in the first six months of 2024 from 121 500 ounces in the comparable period last year.
The Shurugwi-located mine produced 54 700 ounces in the second quarter 2024, marking a seven percent slump from the same quarter in 2023.
“… (the decline was) due to temporarily mining through a planned lower grade section,” Anglo American said in a trading update.
