As quoted in the market news,
The group’s interest in the mines follows Amplats’s undertaking that it will decide before Tuesday whether to sell or separately list the mines amid a 42 percent plunge in platinum prices since August 2011. A buyer or separately listed entity will have to be at least 26 percent-owned by a black investor to comply with mine-license conditions, a measure aimed at reducing economic disparities created by apartheid rule.
