Analyst’s grim view of mining after lockdown: ‘Pain’ for most companies, some won’t survive

Overall, mining companies in South Africa will have to take a “fair amount of pain” as they battle the impact of a 21-day lockdown, while some may not survive at all, an industry expert has warned. Mergence Corporate Solutions mining director Peter Major believes platinum mines, coal mines and iron ore and manganese mines stand a fighting chance once the crisis is over. “They’ve been through the mill. They have strong balance sheets and can afford to go offline for three weeks,” he told Fin24.

According to the Reserve Bank’s latest Monetary Policy Review, published on Monday, the coronavirus crisis could see the production side of the economy, which includes the mining sector, contract by 2.6%.
