Anglo American Platinum Ltd (OTCMKTS: AGPPF), commonly known as Amplats, is the world’s largest primary producer of platinum group metals (PGMs). Headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa, the company operates as a subsidiary of global mining group Anglo American plc, focusing on the full value chain of PGM production from exploration through to marketing.
Amplats’ core activities encompass the exploration, mining, processing, refining and sale of PGMs, including platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium and iridium, with gold produced as a by-product. Its South African portfolio features both open-pit and underground mines within the Bushveld Complex, where mechanised mining methods and advanced metallurgical techniques are employed to maximise resource recovery.
Beyond South Africa, Anglo American Platinum holds strategic interests in Zimbabwe, most notably through its stake in the Mimosa joint venture. Since its demerger from Anglo American plc in 1995, the company has pursued an agenda of asset optimisation, cost efficiency and life-of-assets extension to underpin long-term production sustainability.
Governed by an experienced board and executive team, Amplats places strong emphasis on safety, environmental stewardship and community engagement. The company also invests in research and development to advance mining technology, enhance resource efficiency and support the growing demand for catalytic metals in cleaner vehicle and industrial applications.
