Moody’s noted that the “rating action reflects the strong financial performance that Sibanye has displayed over the past two years and its track record of maintaining capital allocation discipline. The company has used its strong cash flows to balance between various strategic objectives, including strengthening its balance sheet and enhancing liquidity, investing in existing assets and executing on its strategy to expand into battery metals, as well as rewarding shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.”.

Neal Froneman, CEO of Sibanye-Stillwater commented: “We are pleased that the market is starting to recognise our transition from a single commodity mining company in 2013 to a growing multinational mining and metals group, with a diverse portfolio of mining and processing operations, projects and investments across five continents.”
