Amplats refined platinum output halved

The refined platinum production of platinum mining company Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) halved in the three months to March 31, when metal-in-concentrate output rose 4% . Refined production plummeted 52% to 261 000 oz on a Section 54 work stoppage that closed the Precious Metals Refinery for 12 days and materially impacted production for a subsequent 37 days – as well as a planned stock take.
