Production Affected by Shaft Damage – Sibanye-Stillwater suffered an incident at its US PGM operations’ Stillwater West mine in Montana, USA during scheduled non-routine maintenance on the winder. There were no injuries, but the incident resulted in structural damage to the shaft headgear, winder house, and winder rope. The damage to the shaft infrastructure will impact access to the deeper levels of the mine, with production from the Stillwater West mine below 50 level being suspended for about four weeks. This will result in a production loss of approximately 25,000 2Eoz to 30,000 2Eoz for the year.
