Also in South Africa the Company is undertaking a Bankable Feasibility Study on the Kalahari Platinum Project (PLA earning 49% from ARMplatinum) on the development of a ~300,000 oz 4E PGM open pit operation.
In Australia, PLA is evaluating the development of the Panton Project which has a current high grade resource of 10 Mt @ 6.1 g/t PGM.
The Company has also developed a new metallurgical process for the recovery of PGM's, the Panton Process, which was developed as part of a Feasibility Study undertaken on the Panton Project. This process, which has been patented, has a number of potential benefits over the traditional smelter route including potential improved recoveries, reduced concentrate transport costs, increased value of final product and reduced environmental impact.
