Sibanye Gold (SBSW) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Sibanye Gold (NYSE:SBSW) is a precious metals mining company headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa. The company’s core operations focus on the extraction, processing and exploration of gold. Through its South African gold mining operations, Sibanye Gold produces doré bars, gold in concentrate and carbon-in-leach product, leveraging both underground and surface mining techniques. The company also generates by-products such as uranium, copper and nickel, reflecting its commitment to maximizing resource recovery.

In addition to its South African footprint, Sibanye Gold has expanded into the platinum‐group metals (PGM) sector through its acquisition of Stillwater Mining Company in 2017. These U.S. operations, based in Montana, extract and refine platinum, palladium and rhodium. The combination of gold and PGM businesses has positioned the company as a diversified precious metals group serving markets in Africa, North America and, through marketing partnerships, international refining and industrial customers.

Established in 2012 as a spin-out from AngloGold Ashanti’s South African operations, Sibanye Gold rapidly grew through targeted acquisitions including Gold One International and several legacy mining assets in the Witwatersrand basin. Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Neal Froneman and Chief Financial Officer Mariette Lombard, the company has focused on strengthening operational performance, enhancing safety and pursuing exploration upside. Its governance framework includes a board of directors with expertise in mining engineering, finance and sustainability.

Committed to responsible mining practices, Sibanye Gold emphasizes health, safety and environmental stewardship across all operations. The company invests in community development and local procurement initiatives in the regions it serves. Through ongoing exploration programs and operational optimization, Sibanye Gold aims to maintain its position as a leading producer of precious metals while delivering long-term value to stakeholders.
