Northam Platinum Ltd is a South Africa-based mining and metals processing company focused on the extraction, smelting and refining of platinum group metals (PGMs). Its primary operations include two underground mines—Zondereinde in the North West province and Booysendal in Mpumalanga—both located in the Bushveld Complex, one of the world’s richest PGM-bearing regions. The company’s integrated approach covers the full value chain, from ore mining to the production of saleable metal alloys.
Beyond its core mining activities, Northam Platinum operates concentrators and smelters that transform raw ore into high-purity platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold. The group has pursued strategic expansions, including the acquisition and development of Booysendal’s surface and underground projects, to bolster its resource base. Sustainability and community engagement are central to the company’s philosophy, with environmental management systems in place and social-investment programs targeting skills development and local infrastructure.
The company’s refined PGMs are sold to diverse industrial end markets worldwide. Key sectors include automotive (for catalytic converters), jewelry, chemical manufacturing and electronics, with export destinations spanning Europe, North America and Asia. This global reach, combined with Northam’s vertical integration, helps mitigate commodity price volatility and supply-chain risks, ensuring a reliable supply of critical metals to customers.
Headquartered in Johannesburg, Northam Platinum is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and trades in the United States via American Depositary Receipts (OTCMKTS:NMPNF). The business is led by Chief Executive Officer Paul Dunne and a management team with extensive experience across mining, metallurgy and engineering disciplines. Under their stewardship, Northam continues to focus on operational excellence, project development and long-term stakeholder value creation.
