At Mogalakwena Mine, the introduction of Jameson flotation cell technology at the North concentrator to achieve lower mass pull has already yielded benefits that support our sustainability strategy, particularly energy management.

Jameson cells comprise high-intensity, compact flotation technology developed for efficient and selective mineral separation that reduces the mass of concentrate produced from the concentrator without negatively impacting PGM recovery. This has generated substantial value-chain energy benefits in terms of concentrate transport, smelter demand and smelter use, the latter further enabling us to develop measures for smelter infrastructure to be more economically productive.

Compared to FY24, Mogalakwena North has recorded a 21% reduction in mass pull and 16% increase in concentrate grade.

Since the project’s inception in March 2025, a decrease of 37,141MWh in electricity used for smelting translated into a R108.8 million saving, a CO₂(e) reduction of 38,627 tonnes and coal cost savings of R2.6 million. In addition, the 47,924 tonne reduction in concentrate haulage resulted in a R14.5 million saving in transport costs.

We are assessing the viability and potential of Jameson cells in both mainstream and cleaner flotation applications as part of the Mogalakwena South concentrator float cell replacement project, with implementation targeted in 2027. We also expect Jameson cells to play a role in the mass pull reduction roadmaps at all our concentrators, with studies and implementation to be initiated from 2026 to 2028.
