Sibanye Stillwater production resumes at the Stillwater West mine

Johannesburg – Sibanye-Stillwater is pleased to advise that it recommissioned the vertical shaft at its Stillwater West mine on 16 April 2023, following remediation of shaft infrastructure which was damaged during an incident in March 2023.

Production from the deeper levels (below 50 level) at the Stillwater West mine has resumed and will build up over a two-week period and expected to be at normalised levels by end of April 2023. The suspension of production below 50 level during the remediation and build-up of production is expected to reduce production from the Stillwater West mine by approximately 30,000 2Eoz.

As previously announced, access to the upper levels (above 50 level) of the Stillwater West mine and the Stillwater East mine (through the east portal) was not affected by the incident and production from these areas, as well as from the East Boulder mine, continued during the remediation.

Sibanye-Stillwater is a multinational mining and metals processing Group with a diverse portfolio of operations, projects and investments across five continents. The Group is also one of the foremost global recyclers of PGM autocatalysts and has interests in leading mine tailings retreatment operations.
