Sibanye-Stillwater, Necsa partner to develop Pd-103 nuclear cancer therapy isotope
  • Sibanye-Stillwater entered a research collaboration with South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (Necsa) to develop radioactive palladium isotope Palladium-103 derived from rhodium for cancer treatment.
  • Initial phase calls for Necsa to test rhodium against radionuclide production standards.
  • Necsa will conduct chemical work to produce high-purity Pd-103 for potential use in targeted radionuclide therapy.
  • Second phase targets additional nuclear medicine applications using rhodium plus other platinum group metals from Sibanye-Stillwater.
