Despite the difficult trading environment that started facing the platinum sector at the end of 2008, Aim-listed Ridge Mining on Thursday posted a net profit of $16,6-million for the year ended December 31, 2008, up 24% from the $13,4-million achieved in 2007.
“In an exceptionally difficult year for all our management and staff, I would like to pay tribute to their outstanding performance in conditions of quite appalling economic and financial turmoil,” CEO Terence Wilkinson told shareholders in a statement. |
