About us

Northam Platinum Holdings Limited (Northam Holdings or the group) is an independent, empowered, integrated producer of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) that operates three wholly-owned mines located in the Bushveld Complex of South Africa, Zondereinde, Booysendal and Eland. Northam Platinum Limited (Northam) has been listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) since 1987 with the share code NHM. This has been subsequently replaced with NPH following the listing of Northam Holdings in a share for share exchange. Our three main products mined are platinum, palladium and rhodium and are consumed by industries such as motor manufacturing, jewellery and other industrial sectors. Our activities are integrated throughout the full value stream, from underground mining, through concentrating, smelting and base metal removal to final saleable metal. Precious metal refining is outsourced. Since inception, Northam’s precious metals were refined by Heraeus Deutschland GmbH & Co KG (Heraeus) in Germany, however with the increase in our production base and refining capacity, the group has recently contracted Johnson Matthey PLC as a second precious metal refiner. The growth of our business ensures meaningful employment for our people. We create opportunities for training and skills development both for employees and the communities where we operate. At Northam, we believe in the positive impact of mining not only for our investors but for our communities, our environment and our people.

  • In a heartwarming event last month, the Thabazimbi Hospital in Regorogile Township received a generous donation of four Toyota Hilux Double-Cab Bakkies from the Northam Zondereinde Community Trust. This significant contribution marks a major step forward in improving healthcare delivery, especially in remote areas. Zondereinde Human Resources Manager, Buyiswa Spayile, emphasized the importance of partnerships in enhancing healthcare, noting that these vehicles are vital for reaching distant communities. Dr. Kupa, Head of Thabazimbi Hospital, highlighted the challenges faced by the hospital's limited fleet in serving nine outreach clinics, some up to 100 km away. She expressed gratitude, saying, "This donation offers hope and a healthier future for our community." Trustee Dr. M Pheyaga reinforced the commitment to community health, stating, "The donation is not just about transportation but about saving lives and enhancing healthcare quality." The new vehicles symbolize improved medical care access and a brighter future for Thabazimbi residents. This celebration showcased the profound impact of this gift, reflecting the power of unity and shared purpose in promoting better healthcare.   Read more about our commitment to local communities on our website at https://bit.ly/3XNAO4k   #TogetherWeCanDoMore #WeLoveSouthAfrica #MiningThatMatters

  • In alignment with our commitment to community safety and as part of Community Collaboration Awareness Month, Northam’s Booysendal Safety, Health, Environmental, and Quality Team, along with our Security Department, recently spearheaded a Road Safety Campaign. Conducted at both the South Mine’s Cattle Grid and the North Mine’s Helipad, this initiative aimed to raise awareness and ensure the safety of our employees during the festive season. From checking vehicle conditions and permits to reinforcing the importance of safety belts and driver’s licenses, our team, in collaboration with the Mpumalanga Traffic Department and Netcare 911, worked tirelessly to promote a culture of vigilance and care. This campaign was not just about compliance but about making a collective pledge to 'Arrive Alive.' Together, we are driving towards a safer future, one kilometre at a time.

    We're proud to announce that our Booysendal operation achieved 10 Million FFS, with a special message from the Safety, Health, Environmental, Quality (SHEQ) Manager, Hennie Wood: “When Booysendal Platinum started operating in April 2010, the mere thought of achieving a Million Fatality Free Shifts, was far into the future. Now 14 years later, on Monday, 15 July 2024, at 15:56, we have achieved 10,000,000 Fatality Free Shifts! This remarkable and outstanding achievement indicates what commitment to life really means. Staying vigilant and committed is however the key to achieving 11 MFFS and beyond. The journey is continuing… Well done to every Booysendal Family member, thank you for your perseverance and dedication, bringing us to this milestone! Let us all keep the momentum going on our way to achieving the next and the next and the next Million! #ZeroHarm #AchievingGoals #HealthAndSafetyInMining

  • Job fraud is a serious issue where fraudsters pretend to be legitimate employers or recruiters, often advertising fake jobs on social media or via SMS/WhatsApp. These scams can trick you into believing the jobs are real by using legitimate job details but with the fraudster’s contact information. They might even ask you to pay a fee upfront for training or background checks, and the personal details you provide can lead to identity theft. At Northam, we want to ensure you know how to recognize our genuine application process: 1. All job offers are posted on our official Careers platform: https://northam.careers/ 2. We create a LinkedIn post for each job, with only the operation name, job title, and background photo changing. 3. Successful applicants will be contacted by a Northam employee with an email ending in .norplats.co.za. Stay vigilant and protect your personal information. If in doubt, always check our official channels.   #JobFraudAwareness #CareForOurCommunities #NorthamCareers
