Tjate probably is viable on today’s basket price. But the problem remains that it’s far too expensive for us to develop, and anyone in the market for a platinum mine could no doubt buy an existing producing or mothballed mine for less than tjates development cost. Add to that, the current basket price is only so good because of recent rises in palladium, while platinum itself remains quite low, which is a risk for developing a new mine that would take years.
So until those factors change tjate remains of little value to us imo. That could change, but don’t think it’ll be this year.
