OPERATIONAL UPDATE: TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF OPERATIONS AT BAKUBUNG PLATINUM MINE
Shareholders are referred to the various announcements released on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange News Service, the last of which was published on 17 July 2026, relating to the phased restart of operations at the Bakubung Platinum Mine (“BPM” or “the Mine“).
Shareholders are advised that mining operations at BPM were temporarily suspended on 31 July 2026 following employee feedback sessions conducted by the recognised trade unions regarding the ongoing Section 189A consultation process. Following these engagements, a large number of employees gathered at the Mine.
After assessing the prevailing circumstances, management determined that the health, safety and security risks associated with continuing operations had increased to an unacceptable level. Accordingly, as a precautionary measure, the Company temporarily suspended mining operations.
Essential services will continue to operate to ensure that the Mine remains safe, secure and environmentally compliant throughout the period of suspension. The suspension will remain in place until management is satisfied that it is safe to resume operations, taking into account the prevailing circumstances and the progress of the ongoing Section 189A consultation process.
The Company remains committed to engaging constructively with the recognised trade unions through the established consultation process and will provide shareholders with further updates as and when appropriate.
