Sibanye joins mining profit boom as earnings expected to jump 560%

Higher gold and PGM prices have delivered a dramatic turnaround.
Sibanye-Stillwater is the latest miner to report a spectacular improvement in earnings, driven by rising precious metals prices.
The platinum and gold producer expects earnings per share (EPS) of between 597 cents and 658 cents (ZAR) for the six months to June 2026 – an improvement of more than 560% from the loss of 127 cents reported a year earlier, according to a trading statement issued on Thursday.
