Rhodium remains one of the most valuable and supply-constrained metals globally.

Market projections estimate growth from approximately $2.55 billion in 2025 to over $4 billion by 2035, driven by sustained demand and limited supply.

This dynamic continues to position rhodium as a strategic asset, with investors accessing the market through specialised commodity vehicles such as ETFs.

At Volspruit Mining Company, we see rhodium as a key component of South Africa’s role in the global metals market.

Platinum group metals (PGMs), including platinum, ruthenium and iridium, are central to the development of hydrogen fuel cell technologies.

These materials act as catalysts, enabling efficient energy conversion while supporting low-temperature, high-performance operation.

As hydrogen gains traction as a clean energy source, PGMs are becoming increasingly important in applications ranging from electric vehicles to large-scale power generation.

Volspruit Mining Company remains focused on supporting this transition through responsible PGM development.

Follow us to learn more about the role of PGMs in the clean energy transition.

The global transition to clean energy is driving unprecedented demand for critical minerals.

According to the World Bank, production of minerals such as lithium and cobalt could increase by up to 500% by 2050, with over 3 billion tonnes required to meet climate targets.

This places mining at the centre of the energy transition, and raises the stakes for responsible, sustainable operations.

At Volspruit Mining Company, sustainability is embedded across our processes, ensuring we contribute to future-facing industries while minimising environmental impact.

What do recent PGM price movements mean for South African producers?

Recent improvements in PGM pricing have provided welcome relief for South African producers. However, reduced capital investment and production cuts over the past decade may continue to influence long-term supply dynamics for platinum, rhodium, iridium and ruthenium.

Market stability depends on sustained investment, responsible development, and long-term strategic planning.

At Volspruit Mining Company, we remain focused on contributing to a resilient and sustainable PGM sector in South Africa.
