PGMs have a variety of uses, including principally autocatalysts and jewellery, as well as fuel cells, glass
and others industrial uses, investment and medicine.

| The Market For Platinum |
|
|
The demand for platinum has exceeded production in each year from 1999 to 2005 reaching total demand
of 6.71 million ounces in 2005. Autocatalyst demand, which accounted for 3.86 million ounces or 57% of
total demand for platinum in 2005, is the major demand sector for PGMs. Growing demand for diesel cars
in Europe and tightening emission standards for heavy duty vehicles should assist long term continued
growth in the platinum sector. In 1999 sales of diesel powered cars in Europe accounted for less than 30%
of western European vehicle sales. By 2005, diesel sales accounted for approximately 50% of vehicle sales
in all of Europe. In January 2005, new European emission standards came into effect that requires
substantial reductions in harmful emissions. Demand for platinum jewellery, particularly in China, is the
other signi.cant demand driver affecting the supply and demand gap for platinum and was estimated at
2.02 million ounces, a decline of about six percent in 2005 primarily due to the increased price of the
metal.
|
| The Market For Palladium |
|
|
Palladium is primarily used in the automobile industry, which in 2005 accounted for 54% of demand, as
well as the jewellery (20%), electronics (14%) and dentistry (12%) industries. In 2005, total demand for
palladium was 7.04 million ounces. Within the automobile sector, the most important application for
palladium is its use in autocatalysts. The greatest growth in the demand for palladium has resulted in
connection with the production of jewellery, with demand rising almost six-fold between 2003 and 2005
to reach a total of 1.43 million ounces. The electronics industry also uses palladium in the production of
components for personal computers, cellular telephones, fax machines and other electronically controlled
devices.

| PGM Facts |
|
|
South Africa (Bushveld Igneous Complex) and the United States (Stillwater Complex) are the
only significant sources of primary PGM production. Both Russia (Noril’sk Complex) and
Canada (Sudbury Complex) produce PGM as a by-product of nickel-copper mining. Accordingly,
Russian and Canadian producers manage their PGM output based on the supply-demand
realities of their highest revenue product - nickel. South Africa produces a higher proportion
of platinum while the United States and Russia produce a higher proportion of palladium.
Overall PGM concentrations in the Bushveld Complex average 6 to 10 grams per tonne with an
average 20 grams per tonne being found in the Stillwater Complex
