1226 ET - The platinum industry is at a low in terms of prices, but recovery is around the corner, Duncan Wanblad, chief executive of mining giant Anglo American, said on the sidelines of a mining industry conference in Cape Town, South Africa. "I really do believe this is a cycle and we're at the bottom of it," he said. Although he doesn't expect any full-scale mine closures at majority-owned unit Anglo American Platinum, the world's biggest producer of the metal, all of the Anglo Platinum mines will need some restructuring due to the current low prices, he said.
