The development of the project leverages the existing Mototolo infrastructure , enabling mining to extend into the adjacent and down - dip Der Brochen resource , which will extend the life of mine beyond 30 years . The approval of the project supports the Company's strategic priority of maximising value from its core portfolio of assets , investing capital into this life - extension project which is expected to be value- accretive and generate strong returns . The Der Brochen UG2 orebody will use the same bord and pillar extraction method as Mototolo mine , and will be a fully mechanised operation , positioned in the bottom half of the primary PGM producer cost curve . The project includes development of a new shaft to replace the depleting Mototolo reserves ( Lebowa and Borwa shafts ) , maintaining the 240,000 tonnes per month mining rate . With the completion of the concentrator debottlenecking project in Q3 2021 , production from Mototolo / Der Brochen is expected to be maintained at around 250,000 PGM ounces per year . The execution of the project will begin in Q1 2022. The total capital investment is expected to be R3.9billion ( c . $ 245 million ) in nominal terms . Capital investment is over six years , with the majority of capital invested in 2022 , 2023 and 2024. The financial returns of the project are expected to be robust , with an IRR of over 25 % and payback of around six years from first production ( expected in late 2023 ) , based on consensus pricing . Natascha Viljoen , CEO of Anglo American Platinum , comments : " The Der Brochen project is one example of the high - quality , low - cost expansion options we have available in our existing portfolio of assets that will allow us to continue delivering industry - leading returns to shareholders . We are also progressing our various workstreams at Mogalakwena to ensure we realise the full potential of this world - class resource to the benefit of stakeholders for many decades to come . In addition , the strong performance by our processing operations over the period illustrates the significant work we have been doing to improve asset reliability in the business . Despite the challenges posed by Covid - 19 , our business is well - positioned to continue benefiting from the strong market fundamentals for PGMS .
