2014 (Q2). The Company is also updating shareholders regarding the sale of the Quartzhill property
owned by Tjate platinum Corporation Pty Ltd (“Tjate”).
Highlights
- Unaudited revenue for Middelburg up 44.89% Q2 on Q1
- Unaudited gross profit for Middelburg up 11.14% for Q2 and exceeding the targeted 38.00%
- Unaudited net loss for Middelburg Q1 of ZAR 2.691 million (GBP 0.151 million) converted to a
net profit of ZAR 1.247 million (GBP0.070 million) in Q2
- Production up 47%
- Platinum smelting targeted for Q3 2014
Leon Coetzer, CEO of Jubilee, says:
”The Company continues to make significant progress in all of its current and projected activities. The
final hurdle for the submission of the Environmental Management Program, as part of the Tjate mining
right application, has been overcome and submission is targeted for the end of July 2014 which will
conclude the submission requirements by the Department of Mineral Resources. We are working
closely together with Anglo Platinum for the conclusion of the sale of Quartzhill, linked to the Tjate
mining right.”
“The Company is meeting all the challenges presented by the current operating environment and
remains fully confident in the developing business model and the opportunities it presents.”
Middelburg Smelter
Unaudited revenue in South African Rand (ZAR) terms increased by 44.89% to ZAR 17.839 million
(GBP 1.001 million) from Q1 to Q2.
Unaudited gross profit in Rand terms increased by 11.14% to ZAR 7.255 million (GBP 0.407 million).
The Middelburg Operations achieved its targeted gross profit margin of 38.00% by reporting a gross
profit of 40.67% for Q2.
Unaudited net loss of ZAR 2.691 million (GBP 0.151 million) in Q1 converted into a profit of ZAR
1.247 million (GBP0.070 million). This improvement is driven by the Middelburg operations turning
profitable on the back of the conclusion of the renewal program of the smelter operations with growing
positive earnings being recorded for both May and June 2014.
To date the Company has been able to counter the impact on operations caused by the prevailing
national strike of employees associated with the National Union of Metal Workers of South Africa by
increasing the power sales to the National Electricity Provider of South Africa. The Company is
currently reviewing options to further upgrade the power line infrastructure connecting the Company’s
power plant to the national grid, to allow increased power sales to the National Electricity Provider of
South Africa.

ConRoast and Platinum Processing
The Company is currently concluding final recipe optimisation test work on platinum-containing
material secured for the smelting at its Middelburg operations. The smelter trials are scheduled to be
concluded over the next 5 days which is aimed to establish the optimum chemical additions for the
smelting of this material originating from platinum refining waste. The confirmation test work will be
used to conclude the financial parameters for the processing of the material at the Middelburg
operations. Depending on the financial parameters the Company has targeted to commence
processing material during Q3 of 2014.
The targeted processing of the platinum-containing material is in line with the Company’s stated
strategy to migrate the Middelburg operations onto the processing of higher value material on the
back of the successful renewal program.
The Company is also pleased to announce that a current platinum producer has appointed an
engineering & project management firm to conclude a definitive feasibility study for the
implementation of a 10MW furnace at their property. The study is expected to be concluded over the
next 3 months.
Shareholders should note that the financial information contained in this announcement has not been
reviewed or audited by the Company’s auditors.
