Amigo Resources Reports PGM Values of Up to 7.07 ppm in Tanzania Processing Testwork​

Published: Sep 11, 2026 16:30 (GMT+8)

[SMM Flash] Amigo Resources reported independent laboratory results from selected Tanzanian material showing combined PGM values of 6.94–7.07 ppm, alongside residual gold values of 3.27–3.47 ppm. The company said it is assessing the integration of proprietary PGM concentration technology into its processing flowsheets to target recovery from gravity tailings and other residual material. Amigo is also evaluating a pyrometallurgical copper-matte treatment route and has mobilised a small-scale furnace for further testwork.​

The programme could potentially establish PGMs as a recoverable by-product from Amigo's Tanzanian polymetallic material if subsequent metallurgical work demonstrates viable recoveries. However, the reported grades relate to selected test material and processing studies and do not constitute a compliant Mineral Resource, reserve or evidence of commercial-scale PGM production. Further metallurgical testing will therefore be important in determining whether the reported PGM content can translate into an economically recoverable product stream.

Stillwater East and Columbus workers ratify deal ending strike
[SMM PGM Flash] Sibanye-Stillwater has announced that workers at its Stillwater East platinum-and-palladium mine and Columbus metallurgical facility in Montana ratified a collective agreement with the United Steelworkers. It runs retroactively from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2029 and provides a 4.5% first-year wage rise, followed by the greater of 3.5% or CPI in year two and 3.0% or CPI in year three. The ratification ends strike action dating from 3 September. Employees are expected, not confirmed, to resume scheduled duties on the day shift on 9 October. If that return occurs, the agreement removes the immediate labour stoppage affecting these US PGM sites. It is distinct from the East Boulder settlement announced on 30 September, although Sibanye says both agreements support mechanisation, team incentives and benefit alignment. The company did not quantify lost output or provide a production-recovery timetable.

Platinum and palladium saw sharp catch-up declines after the holiday; buying on dips was active, and spot supply remained tight [SMM Platinum and Palladium Weekly Review]
On the first trading day after the National Day holiday, platinum and palladium posted sharp catch-up declines. The most-traded platinum contract fell 3.37% to 406.05 yuan/g, while palladium dropped 6.95% to 271.9 yuan/g, hitting a record low since listing. The overseas market remained under pressure during the holiday, dragged notably by US Treasury yields breaking above 5% and a stronger US dollar. In the spot market, buying interest on dips strengthened, trading was active, supply was tight, and suppliers held prices firm, with spot prices falling less than futures. Further sharp downside appears limited in the near term, and prices may consolidate at lows. Watch for signals from CPI and the FOMC.
