Sibanye-Stillwater finalises wage agreement at its US PGM operations East Boulder mine

Sibanye-Stillwater (JSE: SSW and NYSE: SBSW) – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/sibanye-stillwater-ltd/ – is pleased to announce that its workforce has successfully ratified a new collective bargaining agreement at its East Boulder mine in Montana in the United States, effective retroactively from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, with the United Steel Workers International Union (USW). The new agreement provides a wage increase of 4.5% in year one and the greater of 3.5% or Consumer Price Index (CPI) in year two and the greater of 3.0% or CPI in year three of the agreement.

The agreement is an important step in implementing the US PGM operations’ plan to fully mechanise its mining, including a move away from a rock-breaking incentive to a team-based incentive and modernising certain legacy benefits that were out-of-scope with the United States market.

Strike action by members of the USW at the Stillwater East mine and Columbus metallurgical facility continues. The Company remains committed to constructive engagement to reach an agreement that enables long-term sustainability of the operations.
