Integrated risk management

At Valterra Platinum, integrated risk management (IRM) encapsulates the systematic application of management policies, procedures and practices to the tasks of identifying, analysing, evaluating, treating, monitoring and reviewing risk as an integral part of our business process.

Materiality process

The objective is to identify key matters that materially impact our ability to create, preserve and prevent the erosion of value over time. Identifying materiality is a fundamental component of the integrated and sustainability reporting process, meaning material matters are linked to our strategic risks.

Mining operational performance

Total PGM M&C and refined production exceeded guidance, with the benefits of our operational excellence initiatives partly offsetting the significant impact of flooding at Amandelbult in the first half of 2025.

Processing operational performance

Our primary smelters treat PGM concentrates received from wholly owned, joint operation and third-party mines to produce furnace matte, which is transferred to the converter plant (CP) for further treatment. CP upgrades furnace matte by removing iron and sulphur to produce a PGM-rich converter matte that is slow-cooled before being dispatched to the Base Metals Refinery for further processing.
