In this compelling episode, we sit down with Frank R. Hallam, CEO of Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (NYSE American: PLG), to explore how his company is revolutionizing one of South Africa’s most established industries. While traditional platinum mining has relied on dangerous, labor-intensive operations in narrow reefs for over a century, Hallam reveals how the groundbreaking Waterberg Project is changing everything.
Discover how this shallow, 100-meter-thick deposit allows for revolutionary mining techniques using advanced machinery and remote operations—dramatically reducing risk while slashing costs. Hallam breaks down why South Africa’s dominance in global platinum supply (70% of world production) faces new opportunities through safer, more efficient extraction methods.
Plus, learn about the company’s innovative joint venture, Lion Battery Technologies, which is pioneering the use of platinum and palladium in next-generation lithium battery applications—potentially opening entirely new markets for these precious metals.
Join Carmel Fisher for an inside look at how cutting-edge mining Technology and strategic Innovation are reshaping a industry that has remained largely unchanged for decades.
