About Tharisa - delivering on expansion and growth opportunities,
commercialising technology solutions
Tharisa is an integrated resource group playing a pivotal role in the global
energy transition and the decarbonisation of economies. Leveraging innovation
and technology, Tharisa covers the entire value chain - exploration, mining,
processing, beneficiation, marketing, sales, and logistics - for PGMs and
chrome concentrates. The low cost, multigenerational Tharisa Mine is located
on the southwestern limb of the Bushveld Complex, South Africa, the largest
source of PGMs and chrome globally. Development of the Karo Platinum Project,
a tier-one PGM project on Zimbabwe's Great Dyke, further reinforces Tharisa's
growth strategy. Investments in downstream beneficiation, including proven
chrome and PGM alloy production, will add significant value when
commercialised. Tharisa is committed to reducing carbon emissions by 30% by
2030 and the sustainability roadmap targets net carbon neutrality by 2050.
Through Redox One, Tharisa is advancing proprietary iron-chromium redox flow
battery technology, utilising the very commodities it mines to support
long-duration energy storage - a key component in the transition to renewable
energy.
Tharisa plc is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE: THA) and the
London Stock Exchange (LSE: THS, Equity Shares (Transition) Category).
