Anglo American Plc, the U.K. company controlling the world’s largest platinum producer, started up its Unki mine in Zimbabwe as years of debate in the country over foreign ownership of mining businesses left regulations in flux.
“Unki has been technically commissioned and will ramp up production during next year,” London-based Anglo said in an e-mailed response to questions. The mine is expected to achieve full output of 65,000 ounces of refined platinum a year in the fourth quarter of 2013, according to the company.
