1,000Sibanye-Stillwater's Stillwater mine in Montana stands to benefit from multiple tailwinds in the current palladium market. The LPPM exclusion of Russian refineries drove palladium prices up 11% [https://news.metal.com/newscontent/101800575], significantly improving economics for US producers. Additionally, Sibanye-Stillwater and the United Steelworkers filed a petition seeking antidumping and countervailing duties on Russian palladium imports [https://news.metal.com/vn/newscontent/103457705], positioning the Stillwater mine as the only primary PGM operation in the US with both regulatory protection and higher prices. These factors create strong incentives to maintain or increase 2027 production targets at this strategic domestic asset.
