PLATINUM WEEK-Sibanye CEO confident of Lonmin takeover despite cash burn
Sibanye-Stillwater is confident its planned purchase of Lonmin will go ahead, but the struggling platinum producer must slow its cash burn, the South African firm's chief executive said. Sibanye's 285 million pound ($386 million) all-share bid to create the world's second largest platinum miner faces hurdles including Lonmin's weak cash position, competition authority approval and the effects of a stronger rand. Before December's offer Lonmin, the world's third largest platinum miner, had been in crisis following a series of labour strikes, subdued platinum prices and years of high costs.

PLATINUM WEEK-Mind the gap: Can subway and landmine technologies save S.Africa platinum?
Technologies used to carve subways and clear landmines are being retooled to mechanise South Africa's platinum mines, where an unforgiving geology has stymied such efforts at a huge cost. The technologies may make new mines profitable and could provide a lifeline for some loss-making shafts in a sector battered by low prices and social unrest, but there are limits. The stakes are high in the world's top producer of the metal: most of South Africa's platinum shafts are losing money, while the handful of mechanised ones are profitable.

Russia's Alrosa sees rosy prospects from colourful diamonds
Russia's Alrosa (ALRS.MM), the world's largest diamond producer by output, plans to boost revenue from selling rare, coloured stones where demand is stable, although it is a niche business. Nature gives fancy colours to about one in every 10,000 rough diamonds of gem quality that are mined around the world. This also means they are less affected by other factors driving supply and demand in the main diamond market.

Rio Tinto CEO calls for 'United Nations of the mining world'
Rio Tinto (RIO.L) (RIO.AX) CEO Jean-Sebastien Jacques said resource companies needed to build "the United Nations of the mining industry" to tackle rising resource nationalism and cost inflation. Rising commodity prices typically lead to resource nationalism as they inspire resource-holding nations to demand higher shares of international mining companies' profits. At the same time, the miners say increased energy prices and wage demands are driving cost-inflation and eroding profit margins.

Anglo American to spin off unit to encourage platinum demand
Anglo American (LSE: AAL.L - news) will spin out its internal venture capital unit, it said on Tuesday, as the world's biggest platinum producer seeks to spur investment in fuel-cell technology to boost demand for a commodity in oversupply.

Confirming a report in the Financial Times, Anglo American said in an emailed comment it would provide more details in due course on the spin off of the internal fund that has been exploring new applications for platinum group metals, including hydrogen fuel cells.

Botswana’s President Mokgweetsi Masisi wants a new long-term diamond-sales pact with De Beers when the current 10-year deal expires in 2020 and for more gems to be processed locally. The conclusion of an accord is crucial for both Botswana, which relies on diamonds for almost a fifth of its gross domestic product, and for the Anglo American Plc unit that gets about two-thirds of its gems from the southern African nation. Masisi, who is due to contest elections next year, is pushing for the industry to create more jobs and is “dead determined” that more diamonds be cut and polished in the country.
