The future of PGMs

With Mining Network

5 September 2022

Henk de Hoop discusses the future of PGMs

SFA (Oxford)'s CEO Henk de Hoop joined Peter Gadsdon, Managing Director of Mining Network, for a discussion on the current state of affairs for the platinum group metals (PGM) market; delving into the impact of global events such as economic sanctions on Russia and ongoing potential supply disruptions from South African load-shedding.

The conversation looks at the longer-term prospects for PGMs, particularly in light of the rise in battery electric vehicles and the emerging hydrogen economy, in which iridium and ruthenium can play a significant part.
