    Report Coverage

    This report focuses on the manufacture of basic precious and non-ferrous metals in South Africa, and includes information on the state and size of the sector, production and trade of each major metal, corporate actions and developments and factors influencing them. There are profiles of 30 companies including vertically-integrated platinum group metals producers Anglo American Platinum, Impala Platinum Holdings and Sibanye-Stillwater, copper producer Palabora Copper, gold producers including DRD Gold and Gold Fields and aluminium players such as Hillside Aluminium and Hulamin.

    Manufacture of Basic Precious and Non-ferrous Metals in South Africa

    Local manufacturers of basic precious and non-ferrous metals are benefiting from rising prices for most metals in response to the recovery of the world economy, and South African exports of basic precious and non-ferrous metals have increased significantly as a result. Factors such as the impact of the pandemic, high input costs and the inconsistent supply of electricity continue to have a significant impact on the performance of the sector.

    High Electricity Costs and Inconsistent Supply

    Energy-intensive production processes make producers vulnerable to high electricity costs and load-shedding. Smelters use large amounts of electricity in the production of metals, and a consistent supply of electricity is needed to prevent interruptions to production. Power cuts and load curtailments are putting pressure on profits and global cost competitiveness, due to lower production volumes and higher costs. Local mining companies are planning to construct electricity generation units to supply 2,000MW at a cost of up to R40bn.

    Opportunities

    The sector is enjoying high metals prices, largely due to the recovery of world economy. There is increasing demand for several non-ferrous metals linked to global decarbonisation and growing demand for platinum group metals. The imposition of Import tariffs on aluminium rolled products and an export duty on scrap metals may be positive for the industry.

    Manufacture of Basic Precious and Non-Ferrous Metals

    South Africa was the world’s largest producer of primary platinum and rhodium, and the second-largest producer of primary palladium in 2018, and it exported 900.9 kilotons of these metals to the value of US$14.2bn in 2017. The most vertically-integrated companies in this sector are the platinum group metals producers Anglo American Platinum (Amplats), Impala Platinum Holdings (Implats) and Lonmin, copper producer Palabora Copper and aluminium producer South32.

    Mixed Fortunes

    The volume of non-ferrous metal products (which includes precious metals) produced decreased by 4.4% between February 2018 and February 2019, while the sales value of these products at current prices rose by 15.6% over the same period. According to the latest Industrial Policy Action Plan, producers of platinum group metals are faced with the challenge of developing future demand for the metals. Department of Mineral Resources figures show that South Africa’s production of platinum group metals increased by 3.9% to 270.6t in 2018.

    Report Coverage

    The Refining and Manufacture of Precious and Non-ferrous Metals describes the domestic sector, highlights current conditions, including the uncertainty that exists in the regulatory environment, and discusses factors influencing the success of the industry. Thirty-six industry players are profiled, including global giants, Anglo American Platinum, AngloGold Ashanti, Gold Fields and Glencore Operations South Africa. Also profiled are smaller players such as Manganese Metal Company (Pty) Ltd, Non-Ferrous Metal Works which focuses on the smelting of aluminium, copper and lead, and Zirconium producer, Eggerding South Africa.

    The Refining and Manufacture of Precious and Non-ferrous Metals

    This report focuses on the refining and manufacture of the precious metals, gold and silver, and metals of the platinum group (PGMs), as well as the production of non-ferrous base metals from ore, mattes and scrap. According to the Chamber of Mines, all mining-related activity contributed 18% or R263bn to GDP in 2014 with direct mining activities contributing 8% and input and manufacturing industries 10%. The mining sector provides more than 495,000 direct and 800,000 indirect jobs. The PGM sub-sector was the largest employer in 2014, employing 190,000 people and paying R36bn in salaries.

    A Struggling Sector

    The manufacture of precious and non-ferrous metals takes place against the backdrop of a struggling global mining sector arising from low global demand driven by reduced demand from China and low commodity prices. The South African Chamber of Mines asserted in May 2015 that 50% of the domestic mining industry is loss-making as a result of weak commodity prices, low to negative volume growth and high cost inflation. In an attempt to regain profitability companies are restructuring and retrenching staff. The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) estimates that 10,000 mine workers were retrenched in 2015 and some stakeholders believe that 32,000 jobs are at stake.
