Anglo American processing expert takes the top job after the surprise departure of Chris Griffith

Viljoen acknowledged the work Griffith has done over the past seven years in restructuring Amplats into a low-cost, mechanised mining operation with an enviable suite of mines, concentrators and refineries. Amplats also plays a critical role in stimulating demand for the metal in industrial applications, fuel cells, jewellery and investment.

“It is also our responsibility to build upon the wide variety of applications for our platinum group metals that already play a critical role in so many areas of modern life, from clean transport and energy, to health and jewellery, of course.” The two technologies are bulk sorting, which extracts barren rock from the ore stream going into the mills and concentrator circuits, and coarse particle recovery.

These two technologies are being tested at Anglo's El Soldado copper operation in Chile and will be rolled out through the copper division and the PGMs business.
