Craig Miller

Craig Miller is CEO of Valterra Platinum, the Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed platinum group metals (PGMs) mining and marketing company that was demerged from Anglo American in June 2025. Under his leadership Valterra operates South Africa's Mogalakwena, Amandelbult and Mototolo mines, together with Unki in Zimbabwe, and runs an integrated value chain spanning mining, concentrating, smelting and refining. Miller has overseen strong financial performance, including a half-year headline earnings surge of 1 633% to June 30, 2026, alongside sharply higher revenue and reduced costs. He is driving Valterra's strategy to grow long-term PGM demand beyond the automotive sector, forging partnerships with companies including Sibanye-Stillwater, Johnson Matthey, Umicore and Pujing Chemicals to expand industrial, hydrogen and artificial-intelligence-related applications for platinum, palladium and rhodium. He is also advancing the company's planned underground expansion at Mogalakwena's Sandsloot project, aimed at offsetting declining open-pit grades, with a final investment decision targeted for 2027. Miller has championed offtake and beneficiation partnerships with Tharisa Minerals, including agreements covering the Karo project in Zimbabwe and fine chrome recovery technology. He also speaks publicly on sustainability, renewable energy procurement through Envusa, water resilience projects and Valterra's response to gender-based violence in South Africa, positioning the company as a significant contributor to the South African economy through taxes, procurement, wages and community investment.
