Audit of Sibanye-Stillwater US PGM operation postponed

IRMA and Sibanye-Stillwater have postponed the independent audit of the US PGM operations near Stillwater, Montana. The first stage of the IRMA independent audit process, which includes a desktop review, was completed in November 2023. According to IRMA’s procedures, the next stage, which includes an on-site audit and stakeholder engagement, should have been completed by November 2024.

The site requested, and was granted, an extension by IRMA in 2024. When Sibanye-Stillwater resumes their participation in the IRMA independent audit process, they will need to refresh the Stage 1 desk review before moving on to the Stage 2 on-site audit. When the audit process is resumed, IRMA will announce this.
