This journey entails rethinking all of their systems, structures and symbols to enable them to be benchmarked against the best operations in the world and deliver the expectations of the South African Government for transformational change. Based on a thorough review of the minerals and metals markets, they have confirmed their view that Platinum is likely to be one of the best performing commodities over the next five years and beyond. They also believe that due to the concentration of Platinum assets and production in South Africa, there is a natural hedge relationship between the US dollar Platinum price and the Rand.

Additional Information
Inmarsat has stood at the forefront of mobile satellite services for 30 years. They are internationally recognised as pioneers in their field and they continue to introduce new technologies that redefine the standard for their industry. Their new Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) service, for example, is now enabling TV broadcasters to beam breaking news 'live via videophone' into millions of homes. In the future, when a mobile phone call or text message is made from an aircraft, it will most likely be transmitted via Inmarsat satellites to the ground. For the maritime community, however, Inmarsat‟s communication and safety services are nothing new. Their lives and livelihoods have depended upon Inmarsat for more than a quarter of a century. Inmarsat were founded in 1979 to ensure that ships could stay in constant touch by telephone. In 1999, they became the first inter-governmental organisation to transform into a private company and, in 2005, were floated on the London Stock Exchange.
