Company Overview
Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) controls approximately 40% of global primary platinum supply from Mogalakwena open-cast mine and underground operations at Unki, Mototolo, and Modikwa in South Africa's Bushveld Complex. A restructuring program initiated in 2024 is streamlining the portfolio toward higher-margin, longer-life assets. Amplats produces palladium and rhodium as by-products, creating a natural diversified PGM revenue stream. The company is the bellwether for the platinum price globally.
Commodity Exposures
Price Sensitivity
Platinum is the primary revenue driver — each $100/oz platinum move impacts annual EBITDA by approximately $400M given dominant supply position. Rhodium is highly leveraged: despite small production volumes, price swings of $1,000/oz create significant earnings volatility. Palladium provides meaningful volume contribution. The rand/dollar exchange rate is a key secondary driver — a 10% rand depreciation improves EBITDA by ~8% since costs are rand-denominated while revenue is dollar-priced.
