Podium Minerals Joins World Platinum Investment Council

Podium Minerals Limited has become the first Australian PGM developer to join the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC) as a pre-production member. The WPIC, founded by leading platinum group metals (PGM) miners and producers, serves as a global authority on platinum market intelligence and investment.

As a member, Podium will gain access to WPIC’s extensive research and market insights, strengthening its strategic positioning within the global PGM sector. Existing WPIC members include major industry players such as Anglo American Platinum, Impala Platinum, Northam Platinum, Sedibelo Platinum, Tharisa, and Bravo Mining. The council is headquartered in London, with offices in Shanghai and Shenzhen.

Rod Baxter, Executive Chairman of Podium, emphasized the significance of this membership in advancing the company’s Parks Reef PGM Project in Western Australia. He highlighted that joining WPIC provides valuable market intelligence to inform corporate strategy and decision-making, while also opening opportunities for engagement with the global PGM industry.

“This membership underpins our strategy to develop the Parks Reef Project and positions Podium at the forefront of PGM sector developments. It also creates avenues to promote our project and Western Australia as a future supplier of PGMs,” Baxter stated.

Podium looks forward to collaborating with WPIC and contributing to industry discussions as it progresses towards production.
