Richard Cox

Richard Cox is chief regional officer (CRO) for Southern Africa at Sibanye-Stillwater, the Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed multinational mining and metals group, a role he has held since July 2025 after acting in the position from May that year. He previously served as executive VP of processing for the Southern Africa region, having joined Sibanye-Stillwater as senior VP: strategy advisor in November 2020. Cox holds a BSc in Mining from the University of the Witwatersrand and an MBA from the Gordon Institute of Business Science, and has completed the Stanford Executive Programme at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business. Before Sibanye-Stillwater, he held leadership roles across various commodities and geographies, including at Anglo American Platinum (now Valterra Platinum), Anglo American North America, and AngloGold Ashanti's operations in South Africa and Mali. In his current role he oversees Sibanye-Stillwater's South African gold and platinum group metal (PGM) operations, including Kloof, Driefontein, Beatrix, Cooke, Marikana and Rustenburg, and has been a prominent voice on the group's brownfield growth pipeline, including projects such as Siphumelele, Thembelani and the Burnstone gold project, as well as on chrome beneficiation and UG2 reef strategy. He regularly represents the company at results presentations, capital markets days and industry events such as the Joburg Indaba, discussing cost discipline, safety, and the long-term potential of South Africa's gold and PGM sectors. Note: an unrelated individual of the same name has separately been identified as managing director of CFAO Equipment, the Toyota Material Handling distributor in South Africa.
