About The Companies

Sibanye-Stillwater (SBSW)

Sibanye Stillwater Ltd (SBSW) is a diversified metals and mining company best known for platinum-group metals (PGMs) and gold production, with operations in South Africa and the United States. The group expanded in recent years through acquisitions and now has exposure to palladium, platinum, rhodium, and gold, plus growing interests in base metals and recycling. Investors should note Sibanye’s sensitivity to commodity cycles, industrial demand for PGMs (including autocatalysts and industrial uses), and the company’s operational and country risks — particularly labour relations and South African regulatory and political dynamics. Currency movements and capital-intensive projects can also affect returns. Market capitalisation is around $7.41 billion, reflecting a mid-cap profile with cyclical earnings. This summary is educational only and not personalised advice; values can rise and fall and past performance does not guarantee future results. Consider suitability for your risk profile and seek professional advice for personal decisions.

IAMGOLD (IAG)

IAMGOLD Corporation (IAG) is a mid-cap gold mining company with a market capitalisation of around $7.01 billion. It operates and develops gold assets across multiple regions, aiming to produce bullion while managing exploration and project development. Investors should know that IAG’s revenues and valuation are closely tied to the gold price, operational output and capital spending on mines and projects. The company faces the same industry risks as peers — operational setbacks, cost inflation, regulatory and geopolitical issues in host countries, and commodity cyclicality. IAMGOLD may offer exposure to both current cashflow from producing mines and upside from exploration or development, but returns are not guaranteed. This summary is for general education only and not personalised advice; suitability depends on an investor’s objectives, risk tolerance and time horizon. Always consider doing further research or speaking to a regulated financial adviser before acting.
