The Mother Ship Anglo American reported solid though flat results on Thursday, which were propped up by the platinum and iron ore units. And Amplats, in a move that was faster than many expected, has announced that Viljoen will take over as the platinum producer’s first female chief executive in mid-April. Anglo American itself has had one female CEO, Cynthia Carroll.
“Under Natascha’s leadership, her team has successfully leveraged and accelerated technology development and deployment to unlock the full potential of mineral endowments through processing… She and her team are recognised for their work in developing Coarse Particle Recovery technology which enables the separation of metals from rock using a fraction of the energy and water of traditional methods, while increasing throughput and productivity,” the company said in a statement.
“I feel really excited to take on my new role at Anglo American Platinum and I am fortunate to inherit a business in such a strong position,” Viljoen was quoted as saying. She also said that “safety is paramount, always”.
