Teresa Matich provides a collection of articles from Platinum Investing News looking at the future for platinum stocks, such as Lonmin, the AMCU and South African Platinum Production. Few make a stronger case for platinum than legendary mining entrepreneur Robert Friedland. And certainly given his history in the industry, it is worth taking note of his views. Of course, he has good reason to be bullish on platinum-group metals (PGMs).
Friedland currently serves as executive chairman and director of Ivanhoe Mines, which, among other things, is developing the massive Platreef project in South Africa. What is more, platinum prices have been under pressure this year, and the recent Volkswagen emissions scandal has not helped matters. However, most of the Friedland positivity on platinum relates to how it will fare in the long term. What follows in the articles provide a quick overview of some of the thoughts Friedland has shared on platinum, and why he is bullish on the white metal.
