Wesizwe Platinum to commence a phased restart of operations
Johannesburg – Wesizwe Platinum refers to the announcements released on 3 June 2026, relating to Bakubung Platinum Mine (“BPM”) entering Section 189 Consultations and an Operational update. The temporary operational shutdown at BPM, was implemented to facilitate the Section 189 consultation process and related stakeholder engagements.
The Company says that, following constructive progress in these engagements, it intends to commence a phased restart of operations during the week commencing 29 June 2026, subject to the conclusion of a memorandum of agreement currently under discussion with the recognised trade unions and employee representatives.
The Restart of Operations has been carefully planned and will follow a structured, phased approach that places the highest priority on the health and safety of employees and contractors, compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements, and the safe recommissioning of mining and processing activities.
Employees and contractors will return to site in a controlled and progressive manner. The initial phase will include medical screening, inductions, statutory inspections, legal compliance verification, essential maintenance activities and the progressive recommissioning of critical infrastructure before normal mining operations resume.
Management believes that this disciplined approach is essential to ensuring that the Restart of Operations is safe, responsible and sustainable, while maintaining full compliance with the Mine Health and Safety Act and other applicable legislative requirements.
