Amplat CEO Miller:
“It’s still early days in terms of how Anglo sees the process unfolding. We are just getting an idea of what it looks like so it is planned and structured,” Miller said. “I take comfort from the fact Anglo did the demerger well with Thungela [Resources] which was successful demerger and listing for them,” said Miller.
Completed in 2021, shares in Thungela more than doubled in its first year of listing helped by much higher coal prices amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Miller acknowledged the PGM market is not in the same place as thermal coal was when Thungela listed, but he said Amplats’ R10bn cost out and capital reduction programme, announced in December, would position the company even if PGM prices were unchanged from today’s levels. |
