Mineweb reported that Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd. (OTCMKTS:IMPUY) is aiming to structure its Rustenburg mines into “smaller, more concentrated mining” operations.
As quoted in the market news:
Such a move could provoke resistance from the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU), which last year led a five-month strike against Implats and rivals Lonmin Plc and Anglo American Platinum Ltd.
Unveiling the results of a strategic review that the company has said will include a pivot away from labour-intensive mining to mechanisation, the world’s No. 2 producer of platinum also said “the business may require additional funding in order to ensure the long-term strategic intent remains intact.”
