Sibanye-Stillwater looking to buy gold mines outside South Africa -CEO
Sibanye-Stillwater CEO Neal Froneman said on Monday he wanted to increase the mining company's exposure to gold, but added that it was a difficult time to do deals.
"We really do like gold," Froneman told the Gold Forum Americas conference. The precious metal which has surged 27% this year only accounts for about 10% of Sibanye's earnings at the moment.
Sibanye, the world's largest producer of platinum and rhodium, aims to acquire gold mines outside South Africa, Froneman said, in a bid to diversify its geographical exposure.
