Richard Stewart

Dr Richard Stewart is CEO of Sibanye-Stillwater, the JSE-listed, NYSE-secondary-listed precious and battery metals mining and metals processing group with operations in Southern Africa, North America, Europe and Australia. In this role he oversees a diversified portfolio spanning platinum group metals, gold, chrome, nickel, copper, silver, cobalt and zinc, as well as the company's expansion into battery metals recycling and secondary mining. He has led the company through major decisions including approval of the Burnstone gold project in Mpumalanga and the Mount Lyell copper/gold/silver project in Tasmania, the restructuring of the Kwezi platinum group metals shaft at Rustenburg, and the negotiation of multi-year collective bargaining agreements at the company's US platinum group metals operations in Montana following a strike by the United Steelworkers union. Stewart also serves as a vice-president of Minerals Council South Africa and is the CEO Sponsor for the mining workstream of South Africa's Government-Business Partnership for Growth and Jobs, a joint government-business initiative aimed at lifting economic growth to 3% and creating one-million jobs by 2030. He has spoken on the company's partnership with Thakadu Battery Materials to produce battery-grade nickel sulphate products, and on Sibanye-Stillwater's efforts to rebuild trust with workers and communities following the 2012 Marikana tragedy, having overseen the company's Marikana Renewal Programme since it acquired the Marikana operations through the Lonmin acquisition in 2019. He frequently features in coverage of Sibanye-Stillwater's financial results, safety record and labour relations.
