Valterra Platinum debuts as standalone company on the JSE.

Loading player...
Craig Miller, CEO of Valterra Platinum, joins the show to unpack the high-stakes spin-off of Anglo American’s platinum business. As Anglo American Plc streamlines its portfolio—shedding coal, nickel, diamonds, and now platinum. Valterra emerges as a standalone player amid uncertain long-term demand for platinum-group metals. With palladium and rhodium prices in steep decline and industry sentiment far removed from the boom of earlier decades.

Miller discusses how Valterra plans to navigate market headwinds, manage investor confidence, and position itself for the future. This conversation explores the strategic rationale behind Anglo’s pivot to iron ore and copper, and what lies ahead for South Africa’s once-dominant platinum sector.
