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:
Bakubung is ‘absolutely viable’ despite a challenging market.
Angloplat’s Chris Griffith says business has a right to profit.
And, a Northern Cape iron-ore drilling campaign is at an advanced stage.

JSE-listed Wesiswe Platinum’s new COO Paul Smith said he had confidence in the viability of the company’s flagship Bakubung platinum project, in the North West province, despite the volatile nature of South Africa’s platinum sector.

Anglo American Platinum CEO Chris Griffith told Mining Weekly Online in a video interview that, while he acknowledges the pressures on government and labour, a private business should be allowed to operate in a manner that would allow it to realise a profit.
