IMPALA Platinum Holdings (Implats) yesterday made Royal Bafokeng Platinum (RBPlat) shareholders a staggering R43 billion offer to buy out a majority stake in the company as the bidding war with rival Northam Platinum heats up. RBPlats soared by more than 16 percent on the JSE while Implats was 6 percent stronger after the transaction was announced. Implats said on a 100 percent basis the total transaction value was R43bn, however, on a 65 percent basis, which would exclude the shares held by Northam, the transaction value is in the region of R28bn. Implats last week bought 24.5 percent of RBPlat shares constituting more than 70 million shares from institutional shareholders including Abax Investments, Allan Gray, Coronation Asset Management, M&G Investment Management and Niney One SA. The overwhelming response and support of these shareholders is particularly validating of our confidence in the value proposition this offer provides for both RBPlat and Implats shareholders, chief executive Nico Muller said.

No new external capital for Zimbabwe mines as power, forex crunch bites

05:06am, Friday, 19'th Nov 2021 Independent on Saturday
Tawanda Karombo Harare MINING companies in Zimbabwe, including units of Impala Platinum and Anglo Platinum, are expecting no new external capitalisation as the industry battles power outages amid uncertainties with foreign currency. Zimbabwe holds the worlds second-largest reserves of platinum and chrome, while large deposits of lithium, diamond, coal and gold have attracted some investors. However, mining executives are expecting no new investment in operations. Mining executives are pessimistic about the prospects to raise adequate external capital citing uncompetitiveness, notes the 2021 mining sector survey of mining chief executives and other managers. Most mining executives whose companies are planning to expand production plan to use their retained foreign currency or forex profits to expand. The retained foreign currency is just about inadequate for operational requirements, say mining executives, because the central bank allows gold and platinum producers to retain only 60 percent of their earnings in foreign currency.
