Karo Platinum Project on track for 2027 production

PGM miner Karo Mining Holdings has made further progress in de-risking its Karo Platinum Project in Zimbabwe, with open-pit surface clearing now underway as the development advances toward first ore being milled in the second half of 2027.

The milestone marks the project’s transition from early development into active construction, with physical site preparation now taking place at the mine.

The development is expected to strengthen Zimbabwe’s position as one of the world’s key platinum producers, while advancing a US$499 million investment that will add significant production capacity from the mineral-rich Great Dyke.
