Key Industry Developments

Recent developments affecting the Rhodium project landscape:

2008

Rhodium prices reached $10,000/oz during PGM supply crisis driven by South African electricity shortages

2021

Rhodium peaked at an extraordinary $29,800/oz (~$960,000/kg), driven by tightening emission standards and autocatalyst demand against constrained supply

2023-2024

Prices crashed from $12,000 to below $5,000/oz as EV adoption reduced gasoline autocatalyst demand outlook; peak ICE vehicle narrative weighed heavily
