Appointments follow acquisition of only US PGMs miner

Independent mining group Sibanye has appointed three executives following its acquisition of the only platinum group metals (PGMs) miner in the US, Stillwater Mining, in May, when its organisational structure subsequently repositioned from a divisional commodity structure to a geographical regionalised structure. “With the significant increase in size and geographical spread of the company, this regionalised organisational structure will provide effective leadership, ensuring appropriate focus and skills allocation in well-defined geographical regions and corporate functions. This focus coupled with a strong executive presence in clearly understood social and cultural regions will position Sibanye for continued success,” said Sibanye CEO Neal Froneman in July.
