Welcome to Creamer Media’s Resources Watch, a weekly video round-up of the events and people making and shaping the news in the mining industry.

This week:
A ‘depressed’ PGM market cycle stalls RBPlat’s Styldrift expansion.
ArcelorMittal South Africa flags its iron-ore import plan as it seeks a new pricing deal with Kumba.
And, Roytec clinches a Zimbabwe contract and now boasts a R100-million order book.

Royal Bafokeng Platinum plans to scale back on construction at its Styldrift 1 expansion project, owing to a sustained depression in the platinum group metals market.

RBPlat CEO Steve Phiri

Steel producer ArcelorMittal South Africa has signalled that it is aiming to reopen historically fraught iron-ore pricing negotiations with Kumba Iron Ore.

ArcelorMittal CEO Paul O’Flaherty

Filtration and separation solutions provider Roytec completed testing and adapting a larger filter press system for mining company Bindura Nickel Corporation’s Trojan nickel mine, in Zimbabwe.
