Guest: Peter Major, Director Of Mining At Modern Corporate Solutions

Anglo American has sold off its remaining shares in Valterra Platinum, marking the end of its time with the South African miner.

Anglo American Platinum was founded in 1995 following the unbundling of assets of Johannesburg Consolidated Investments (JCI) and its takeover by the Anglo American Group.

Anglo American focused on getting ride of non-core assets that would free up cash and management time. The group decided to push out platinum, which has an uncertain future.
