Investment summary

Nkwe Platinum confirmed last July that it has been in talks with several parties over the joint development of one or more of its farms. According to the company, these discussions have been positive and constructive, but have not yet led to any definite outcome. At this stage, no details are available about the potential counterparties or the subject of the negotiations. At the same time, the company has delayed releasing the optimised BFS study for the Garatau project, which we believe was mainly due to the ongoing joint venture negotiations. More recently, trading in the company's shares has been suspended, which could potential highlight a near-term resolution of the negotiations. The company guides more clarity on the issue in January.

Industry outlook

PGM prices appear to be fairly resilient to the financial market turmoil providing some support to PGM equities. In the long run, rising costs and strong rand represent the major risk to PGM producers.
