Post-Anglo American, Valterra Platinum eyes growth in commodity boom

Valterra Platinum CEO Craig Miller says he’s upbeat about the company’s future after splitting from Anglo American.

Last year, Anglo American announced it would sell its remaining 19.9% stake in Valterra Platinum. This put 52 million shares up for sale as part of the miner’s plans to restructure the company.

In its first full-year production report since splitting from Anglo American, Valterra posted a strong performance, coming in marginally higher than its 2025 predictions.

Miller is among the mining executives at the four-day Mining Indaba currently underway in Cape Town. He says he hopes the company can still benefit from the current commodity boom, including record-high platinum prices.

“We've still got some separation work to do with Anglo American. We need to complete that, and we need to do that in a responsible way,” Miller said. “And then finally, is just how we continue to work with my peers in the industry, that we can, you know, make sustainable investments in market demand areas to grow the profit pool that we can, um, from future demand of PGMs.”
