‘I really hope I am wrong but the way I am setting up the business is that those prices are in place for a bit of time,’ Miller said.

Anglo American Platinum, the world’s biggest platinum miner by value, said the low metal prices that companies in South Africa are currently grappling with could be sustained for a period of time amid a slowdown in China’s economic growth.

Prices for platinum-group metals, which have declined rapidly over recent months, could remain depressed, Craig Miller, CEO of the Johannesburg-based producer, told Reuters.

“I really hope I am wrong but the way I am setting up the business is that those prices are in place for a bit of time,” Miller said in an interview.
