PGMs
The PGMs Industry Day brings together major and junior producers, end users, analysts, investors and sector specialists.
PGMs Industry Day returns with sharper focus on dialogue and decision-making
As platinum group metals (PGMs) navigate a period of price volatility and renewed strategic importance, the quality of industry conversation has never mattered more. Against this backdrop, the 9th edition of the PGMs Industry Day, hosted by Resources 4 Africa, takes place on Thursday 19 March 2026, at the Johannesburg Country Club, Auckland Park.
W idely regarded as one of the most credible and high-value gatherings on the South African mining calendar, the PGMs Industry Day brings together major and junior producers, end users, analysts, investors and sector specialists for a day of informed, candid discussion. Rather than broad commentary, the event is known for its depth, offering delegates direct access to the people shaping decisions across the PGMs value chain. Chaired by industry veteran Bernard Swanepoel, the 2026 programme will tackle the issues currently influencing sentiment and strategy in the sector. Discussions will explore the outlook for PGMs over the next 12 months, CEO-level perspectives on industry direction, insights from emerging and junior producers, and how investors are assessing basket prices in a changing global market. Importantly, the agenda will also examine future demand drivers, from the evolving role
of PGMs in automotive applications to growth in industrial uses linked to energy transition technologies, emissions control and hydrogen- related solutions. The status of South Africa’s chrome and ferrochrome sector will also be unpacked, recognising its close operational and economic link to PGMs mining. What sets the PGMs Industry Day apart is its emphasis on meaningful engagement. Both in-person and virtual platforms are designed to facilitate focused networking, informed debate and practical insight, making it a must-attend event for decision-makers looking for substance. Sponsors and Mining Industry Partners for the 2026 PGMs Industry Day include Accenture, DRA Global (Lead Sponsors); African Rainbow Minerals, Implats, Minerals Council South Africa, Valterra Platinum (Mining Industry Partners); Enaex Africa and Hatch, with Auramet International as Sponsor. n
The PGMs Industry Day will be chaired by industry veteran Bernard Swanepoel.
