JSE-listed Wesizwe Platinum has reported significant progress in the ramp-up of its underground mining operations at the Bakubung platinum mine, in the North West province, with key infrastructure projects advancing ahead of schedule.

The company said on October 8 that the V1 ventilation shaft and the underground Merensky Silo were progressing faster than planned, reflecting strong execution by the project team and effective oversight by management.

Wesizwe is at an advanced stage of negotiating underground development contracts and is currently adjudicating stoping tenders.

The company noted that the successful conclusion of these agreements would represent a key milestone in accelerating production, enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring the long-term sustainability of its underground operations.
