Northam Platinum Holdings Limited is an independent, empowered, integrated producer of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs). It operates three wholly owned mines in the Bushveld Complex of South Africa: Zondereinde, Booysendal and Eland. The company concentrates on platinum, palladium and rhodium and oversees the full value chain—from underground mining through concentrating and smelting to the production of saleable metal—while refining is outsourced to Heraeus Deutschland GmbH & Co KG and, as capacity grows, Johnson Matthey PLC. Based in Johannesburg, Gauteng, it has been listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange since 1987. The organization emphasizes employment and community development, offering training and skills development for workers and local communities. Its customers include motor manufacturers, jewellery producers, and other industrial users of PGMs; a notable 2026 development is the Johannesburg Stock Exchange's partnership with Northam Platinum Limited.
