About Tharisa

Tharisa is one of the world's leading producers of chrome, as well as a leading PGM producer, based in the Bushveld Complex, South Africa. Dual listed on the JSE (JSE:THA) and the Main Market of the LSE (LSE:THS), Tharisa is one of the lowest cost producers of PGMs and chrome concentrates, generating revenues from a single resource from mining, processing, beneficiation, marketing, sales and logistics.

Some 85% of all chrome produced is converted into ferrochrome, a raw material used in the manufacturing of stainless steel. Chrome is also utilised in foundries and the chemical industry, however small in comparison to the stainless steel industry. Tharisa provides China with 7% of its total metallurgical grade chrome imports.

The ore from the Tharisa Mine produces a PGM basket containing platinum, palladium and rhodium of favourable grades. As a result, the Group is ideally positioned to take advantage of the positive projected growth in the demand for PGMs, which are primarily used in the automotive industry and jewellery manufacture.
