Platinum Group Metals (PGM) Mining — Palladium, Platinum, Rhodium
South Africa produces ~70% of global platinum and significant palladium (Anglo American Platinum, Implats, Sibanye-Stillwater). Platinum group metals are used in semiconductor wire bonding, sputtering targets, and catalysis. Post-Russia sanctions, South Africa has become more critical for palladium supply diversification. Anglo American's Mogalakwena and Zimplats (Zimbabwe) operations are globally significant. South Africa's non-aligned geopolitical stance (BRICS membership, UN Russia votes) creates uncertainty for Western semiconductor supply chain planners seeking reliable PGM supply.
Export control and sanctions
Non-Wassenaar. Platinum group metals major producer. Non-aligned geopolitical stance. Low direct semiconductor policy risk; strategic minerals significant.
