Blue Ridge closure to slash Aquarius' pgm output in FY11
30th July 2010:Aquarius Platinum has revealed that its pgm production may be significantly reduced in the 2011 financial year due to a major mine closure.
The world's fourth-largest platinum producer claims on its official website that it plans to increase output during the 12-month period to about 120,000 oz pgm.
However, it has now announced that it may need to shut down its Blue Ridge mine in South Africa for up to seven months to carry out safety and efficiency improvements.
