The rapid expansion of AI-generated services is significantly increasing the strain on the global power grid, bringing to light the strategic importance of Platinum Group Metals Ltd.'s (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM) Waterberg Project. As detailed in a recent analysis, the project stands as one of the largest and most cost-effective undeveloped platinum group metal resources globally. This comes at a time when the dual role of platinum—both as a critical catalyst in proton exchange membrane (PEM) systems and as a durable industrial metal—positions it as a vital component in the emerging energy-intelligence economy.
The growing demand for AI and data center operations is not only testing the limits of electricity infrastructure but also putting pressure on critical metal supply chains. Platinum's unique properties make it indispensable for the development of clean, resilient power solutions. The Waterberg Project, located in South Africa and discovered by Platinum Group Metals, is being developed in collaboration with Implats, Mnombo, and HJM. Its development is closely aligned with the shifting dynamics of the global market, where sustainability and electrification are becoming central to corporate and regulatory agendas.
