Eastern Platinum Ltd.

Eastern Platinum Ltd. is a Canadian-based mining and exploration group formed in 2003 with the objective of becoming a major producer of platinum group metals. The company acquired a 69% indirect interest in Barplats Investments Limited in 2006, making it Canada's largest platinum group metals producer at the time. They operate high-grade platinum and rhodium-rich deposits in South Africa's Bushveld Complex with resources containing over 85 million ounces of platinum group metals.

The company operates three specific assets: Kennedy’s Vale and Spitzkop on the Eastern limb of the Bushveld Complex 350 km northeast of Johannesburg, Crocodile River Mine near Brits on the Western limb, and Mareesburg, an open-cut PGM project in the Limpopo Province. These operations focus on producing platinum, palladium, rhodium, osmium, iridium, and ruthenium, which are used in catalytic converters, fuel cells, and electronics.

To become a supplier or service provider, potential partners must apply for open tenders which are published on the company's supplier page. The company actively recruits from both inside and outside the mining industry to secure motivated and self-reliant people for its operations.

The company is currently negotiating the value of the Union Goal payable and looking to potentially resell the contract payable and outstanding receivables to resolve the issue. They are self-funding their soft restart plan based on the profitability of chrome and PGM operations and ramping up production ounces based on positive cash flow.

There are no plans to buy back shares or issue dividends at the moment. Instead, the company is 100% committed to completing the soft re-start of the Zandfontein underground, with all cash going towards these efforts.

The company is confident in resuming operations at Crocodile River Mine due to an improved financial model, excellent relationships with local communities and labour unions, and positive communication with Union Goal to resolve outstanding contract payables. They also cite support from strategic investor Ka An Development and financing providers like Investec.

The company is based in Vancouver, Canada, with a head office at 1080 – 1188 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC Canada V6E 4A2. They also have a South African operation at Crocodile River Mine, Zandfontein, Brits, North West South Africa.
