A Platinum Opportunity?

Platinum miners have been through the mill over the last year, shedding shareholder equity, battling strikes and rising costs and dealing with the political and infrastructure problems inherent in operating in South Africa.
As if that wasn’t enough, the price of platinum has fallen and the world market is currently in surplus, meaning that some platinum mines have been producing platinum at a loss.
