The BRPM Concentrator, is a joint venture Platinum operation between RBPlat and Anglo American Platinum, and was initially designed to treat 200,000 tpm of Merensky ore.

MDM’s PGM execution and study experience will bring a large body of knowledge to the BRPM projects. We look forward to building on our strong working relationship with the stakeholders of these projects."
