Morgan Equities South Africa Proprietary Limited Notes to editors Lonmin, which is listed on both the London Stock Exchange and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, is one of the world's largest primary producers of PGMs. These metals are essential for many industrial applications, especially catalytic converters for internal combustion engine emissions, as well as their widespread use in jewellery. Lonmin's operations are situated in the Bushveld Complex in South Africa, where nearly 80% of known global PGM resources are found. The Company creates value for shareholders through mining, refining and marketing PGMs and has a vertically integrated operational structure - from mine to market.
