Sibanye Gold Ltd., South Africa’s biggest miner of the metal by production, will consider buying platinum mines once a strike over wages that’s crippling the sector is resolved.

“There’s nothing specific on the table right now, but we’re open to the idea” of buying platinum mines, some of which may go on sale after the strike, James Wellsted, a spokesman for the company, said by telephone today.
