Frischgewaagd-Ledig

Wesizwe has access to substantial platinum reserves at the Bakubung platinum mine site near Rustenburg in the Western limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex.[5] It is expected to produce 350,000 ounces of Platinum group metals per year.[6]

In May 2011, a financing deal worth nearly $1bn was agreed with a consortium of Chinese investors;[7][8] Wesizwe now has the Jinchuan Group and CADFund as its major shareholders.[9] This deal would allow work to start on platinum production at the Bakubung Platinum Mine[10][11]

In January 2013, Wesizwe Platinum confirmed that it had received a $650 million loan from the China Development Bank for the development of the Bakubung project. Part of the loan would be used to refund two separate $100-million short-term loans, which CDB and Wesizwe signed in December 2012.[12]
