About
Platinum Group Metals Ltd. Ordinary Shares (Canada) (PLG) is a mining company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of platinum and palladium properties. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, it is best known for its interest in a large platinum group metals project in South Africa.
The company explores for a range of deposits that include palladium, platinum, gold, copper, nickel, and rhodium. Its central asset is a 50.16 percent interest in the Waterberg project, located on the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex in South Africa. The Bushveld Complex is one of the world's major sources of platinum group metals, and the Waterberg project represents the core of the company's development activity.
In addition to its mining interests, Platinum Group Metals is working on next-generation battery technology that uses platinum and palladium. This effort connects the metals it explores for to a potential application in energy storage, broadening the possible demand for the materials at the center of its business.
As an exploration and development company, Platinum Group Metals Ltd. is oriented toward advancing its properties toward production rather than running large-scale mining operations on its own. Its prospects are tied to the value of platinum, palladium, and the other metals it targets, as well as to progress at the Waterberg project and the broader interest in platinum group metals for industrial and battery uses. The Vancouver base reflects the company's Canadian roots, while its key project ties its future closely to mineral development in South Africa.
