Sibanye Stillwater’s ‘Critical’ repositioning

Sibanye Stillwater's 'Critical' repositioning

Sibanye Stillwater is strategically diversifying into battery metals and recycling. James Wellsted, Corporate Affairs and Investor Relations, highlighted, “We’ve positioned ourselves in ecosystems which we believe are going to be supportive for the products that we are producing.” The company’s lithium projects in Finland and Nevada, along with a nickel facility in France, are central to this focus on green metals.

Through cost-cutting and restructuring, Sibanye Stillwater has stabilised its core PGM operations while preparing for long-term growth. With fully funded lithium projects and a forecasted market recovery by 2027, the company is well-positioned to deliver significant value in the coming years.
