> **Jubilee Platinum PLC CEO, Leon Coetzer, said: **
> “I am extremely pleased at yet another leading performance by the Jubilee team
> delivering the PlatCro pre-processing circuit and the DCM fine chrome plant on-
> time and in budget. Both projects involve leading edge processes as we continuously
> strive to deliver industry leading solutions to the benefit of all our stakeholders.
> We have recently announced our acquisition of the PlatCro chrome beneficiation
> operation which we intend to integrate with our current PlatCro PGM project, forming
> a fully integrated operation to further streamline costs and optimise metal earnings.
> The addition of the PlatCro pre-processing plant to produce PGM rich material 
> for further refining at the Eland Platinum plant, is the first of a number of 
> processing improvements targeted for the integrated PlatCro operation.
> I am particularly pleased with the implementation of our industry first DCM fine
> chrome plant. Our ability to target the recovery of the fine chrome element of
> existing mine waste material opens tremendous opportunities to Jubilee for further
> growth in the chrome industry. We will target to roll out this solution at our
> existing operations at Hernic and PlatCro, as well as the wider chrome industry.”
