The lockdown of mines in South Africa lasted for an initial 21 days, due to the growing threat of the global COVID-19 pandemic. On April 9, the president extended the plan for two additional weeks, leaving measures in force until April 30.
However, an April 16 amendment to the regulations and directives allowed mining operations to conduct activities at a reduced capacity – up to but not exceeding 50% during the lockdown.
Here are some key companies that have made public their plans to move forward.
Jubilee Metals Group has restarted its Inyoni surface PGM and chrome operation, and will soon follow that with a restart of the Windsor joint venture PGM operation.
Jubilee Metals Group (LON:JLP) is a global, diversified metal recovery company that operates world-class projects, ensuring a positive impact on the environment and its stakeholders.
