Northam Holdings: Mining that matters
Summarised financial results 30 June 2022
Mining that matters
Mining and processing of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) is complex. The conversion of mined ore to saleable metal involves several stages of metallurgical processing.
Northam Platinum Holdings Limited (Northam Holdings, Northam or the group) is an integrated, mine to market PGM producer. Integral to our ongoing production growth strategy has been our investment in expanding the capacity and flexibility of our downstream metallurgical processing facilities. This is enabling us to treat growing production from our own operations together with that of our PGM recycling business, as well as to offer downstream processing services to other producers.
Our metallurgical operations are located at the Zondereinde mine, and comprises smelter and base metal removal facilities. Our main smelter facility boasts two independent furnaces, furnace 1 and furnace 2, which treat primary concentrates from mining. Each furnace has dedicated upfront dryers, and two separate
and interchangeable iron-reduction convertors. In addition, we have recently commissioned a dedicated recycling smelter facility comprising two furnaces and their supporting infrastructure.
The smelter facilities produce convertor matte, which feeds our base metal removal plant, wherein nickel is recovered as a nickel sulphate precipitate, and pure copper plate is extracted in an electro-winning circuit. The remaining high-grade PGM concentrate at this stage is shipped to our toll refiners for separation into final saleable metals. We sell these metals to our customer base.
The photograph on the front cover of this report shows molten matte being tapped from our number 1 smelter furnace which was rebuilt and upgraded during the first half of this financial year.
