RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT AND QUARTERLY SUSPENSION
UPDATE
RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
Shareholders are referred to the previous cautionary and renewal of cautionary
announcements released on SENS and are advised that circumstances relating to a material
subsidiary of the Company are still being assessed, which could have a material effect on the
price of the Company’s securities.
Accordingly, shareholders are advised to continue to exercise caution when dealing with the
Company’s securities until a further announcement has been made.
QUARTERLY SUSPENSION UPDATE
In terms of paragraph 1.11(c) of the JSE Listings Requirements, the Company is required to
provide an update to shareholders regarding the current state of affairs of the Company until
the suspension is lifted.
Shareholders are referred to the ongoing suspension in trading of the Company’s shares on
the JSE which came into effect on 18 July 2022. Trading in the Company’s shares remain
suspended due to the late publication of the provisional annual financial statements for the
year ended 28 February 2022 (“Provisional Report”) and the subsequent interim results for
the six months ended 31 August 2022 (“Interim Report”).
In respect of the late publication of the Company’s Provisional Report, the Company has
been struggling in its appointment of new auditors due to three subsidiaries within the group,
Black Chrome Mine Proprietary Limited (“Black Chrome Mine”), Sail Resources Proprietary
Limited and Sail Minerals Proprietary Limited, being in Business Rescue.
Further to the announcement released on SENS on 30 November 2022 advising
shareholders of the extension of the publication of the Black Chrome Mine business rescue
plan (“Plan”), the Company confirms that the Plan was published on 31 March 2023. Once
the Plan is adopted at the meeting of the creditors, scheduled for 18 April 2023, the new
auditors of the Company can be appointed, which is anticipated in due course, and the
publication of the Provisional Report and Interim Report can then be finalised.
The Company will apply for the lifting of the suspension of trade in its securities once the
Provisional Report and Interim Report has been published and announced on SENS.
The Company will provide a further update in this regard in due course.
