Toronto-based Atlatsa, which has a joint venture platinum mine with Amplats, said in a statement it was also in talks about the sustainability of the Bokoni mine.
South Africa's mining industry is battling falling metal prices, rising costs, labour unrest and thinning profits.
"Significant doubt remains regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern. No assurances can be given that the issues being faced by the company will be resolved," Atlasta said.
