Resolution Criteria
Resolve YES iff: Latest Delayed (2m) Trailing (12m) result for northam_eland_pgm_concentrate_ttm_ozt as of March 1, 2027 is ≥ 74,976 ozt.
If PGM Concentrate production ≥ 74,976 ozt, resolve YES. Otherwise NO.
Eland is behaving like a typical deepening ramp‑up asset: slightly below guidance at times but steadily increasing output, and the latest 2026 production update strengthens the case that PGM concentrate will still be coming out of the mine by early 2027. The main risk to a YES resolution is not operational failure but a strategic curtailment if PGM prices weaken sharply and Northam opts to preserve cash.
