Company Overview

Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (NYSE: PLG) is a Canadian-based mineral exploration and development company specializing in platinum group metals (PGMs). With a primary focus on the Waterberg Joint Venture project in South Africa’s Bushveld Complex, the company targets the production of platinum, palladium, rhodium, gold and associated base metals such as nickel and copper. Through its strategic alliance with Anglo American Platinum, Platinum Group Metals holds a 20% interest in a resource base that ranks among the world’s largest undeveloped PGM deposits.

The Waterberg project, situated near the town of Mokopane in Limpopo Province, encompasses over 100 km² of mineral rights and benefits from existing regional infrastructure, including power, water and rail. Following completion of a definitive feasibility study, the joint venture partners have advanced engineering and environmental permitting activities, positioning the project for potential phased production. The mine plan envisions concentrator facilities, tailings management and surface infrastructure designed to support both near‐term ramp‐up and long‐term expansion of output.

Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Vancouver, Platinum Group Metals maintains an operations office in Johannesburg to oversee local development and stakeholder engagement. The company’s management team combines decades of experience in mining project execution, corporate governance and capital markets. Under the leadership of CEO Marshall Gunter and supported by a board of directors with deep expertise in PGMs and African resource projects, Platinum Group Metals aims to advance its flagship asset toward commercial production while exploring further opportunities within the global PGM sector.
