The company's recent financial activities, including a $1 million private placement with HCI and raising $12.3 million through its 2025 at-the-market program, underscore its commitment to funding these initiatives.
The company is also evaluating options for concentrate processing, including a proposed smelter in Saudi Arabia and a matte furnace in South Africa. These efforts are part of Platinum Group Metals' strategy to optimize its operations and reduce costs. The updated Waterberg DFS highlights the project's large-scale, low-cost potential, further solidifying its position in the mining industry. Additionally, the company's 2024 ESG rating from Digbee, which came in at BBB, reflects its commitment to sustainable and responsible mining practices.
