Lonmin PLC, trading on the OTC under the ticker LNMIY, is a United Kingdom–based mining company specializing in the production of platinum group metals (PGMs). The company’s portfolio centers on platinum, palladium, rhodium and smaller quantities of gold, iridium and ruthenium. These metals are essential for a range of industrial applications, including automotive catalytic converters, chemical processing, electronics and jewellery manufacturing.
Lonmin’s principal operations are located in South Africa’s Bushveld Igneous Complex, one of the world’s richest PGM deposits. The company’s integrated value chain spans underground mining, ore processing, smelting and refining, enabling it to produce both metal-in-concentrate and refined PGM products. Lonmin has traditionally focused on operational efficiency and cost control while maintaining high standards for safety and environmental management.
With roots dating back to its founding in 1909 as the London and Rhodesian Mining and Land Company, Lonmin underwent a series of restructurings and demergers before adopting its current name in the mid-1990s. Headquartered in London, the company built its reputation on deep-level mining expertise and a long-standing presence in South Africa. In 2019, Lonmin was acquired by Sibanye-Stillwater and its operations were integrated into a broader global PGM platform, marking the latest chapter in its evolution as a key participant in the metals and mining sector.
