Chief Executive Leon Coetzer commented:
“It is with great pride that I present these results for the 6 months ended December 2017. It reflects a
period during which Jubilee can proudly claim its position as one of the lowest cost producers of
platinum and chrome in the industry, while the Jubilee Group delivers positive cash earnings.
The Jubilee team has demonstrated their commitment to excellence by delivering the Hernic project in
time and on-budget and ramping up the project to already achieve a unit cost per PGM ounce
produced of only USD 382. These numbers demonstrate the return on investment offered by
Jubilee’s strategy for metals recovery from surface waste and stockpiles.
Jubilee’s project pipe-line includes further surface projects containing platinum and chrome and we
have expanded our reach into Zambia by securing a position in the surface lead, zinc and vanadium
project at Kabwe. We are actively pursuing further potential projects to include further metals such as
cobalt and copper into our pipeline.
I look forward to continuing to build on our current performance in the year and simultaneously
executing our exciting surface project pipeline."
INTERIM PERIOD OVERVIEW
The objectives of Jubilee's metals recovery strategy are three-fold:
- Secure low risk, low capital intensive, long-term commodity production at an attractive point on the
global cost curve from mine waste by using advanced environmentally sustainable metal recovery
techniques. This ensures a much lower cost entry point to produce metals compared to traditional
mining;
- Diversify across multiple commodities and in different countries including platinum, chrome, cobalt,
copper, zinc, lead, vanadium and gold to hedge income risk and to align with global trends; and
- Rehabilitate the adverse footprint left by legacy mining in accordance with acceptable International
Environmental Standards.
Hernic – South Africa
Jubilee operates a chrome and platinum recovery plant at Hernic's ferrochrome mine in South Africa.
The Hernic project continued to deliver significant operational improvements quarter-on-quarter
following the commissioning and first production in March 2017. The improvements are in line with the
ramp-up and operational optimisation phase on the project. The project achieved a unit cost per PGM
ounce produced of USD 382, which makes the operation one of the lowest cost platinum producers in
the industry.
Capital expenditure on the Hernic project totalled GBP 12.94 million (ZAR 228.53 million). Overall
debt incurred towards the construction and commissioning of the project has to date reduced to GBP
1.83 million (72.50% reduction).
The table below presents the performance of the Hernic operation for the period under review. The
project has already produced 2 949 PGM ounces for the months of January and February 2018
despite the down time during January 2018 caused by the tailings dam spillage as previously
announced.
No comparative information is available as the project was commissioned in March 2017:

DCM – South Africa
Further to previous announcements, completion of the necessary process upgrades at DCM allowed
for a more flexible operation to expand the processing of 3rd party material. Operational efficiency
enhancements developed by the Company's in-house technical teams, were also implemented during
the period under review. The DCM operational performance was affected in Q4 by a significant plant
upgrade of the chrome recovery circuit. The plant upgrade was to further increase both the
operational flexibility of the chrome recovery circuit as well as the crushing capacity for the processing
of 3rd party run-of-mine material ("ROM").The improved processing flexibility was required to
compensate for the increased feed variance introduced by the processing of 3rd party ROM.
During the period under review, and in an ongoing co-operation with DCM, the Company executed a
framework treatment of tailings and chrome ore agreement with DCM ("Framework Agreement") and
a 3rd party ore agreement for the toll-refining of ROM chrome ore ("ROM Ore Agreement").
The Framework Agreement cancelled and superseded all existing agreements in respect of chrome
processing and PGM recovery at DCM. The Framework Agreement transformed Jubilee's DCM
operations as an equal joint venture with DCM, on all chrome ore including 3rd party chrome ore. The
Framework Agreement now affords Jubilee the right to 50% of all earnings generated from the
processing of chrome ore. This compares with the Company previously holding no rights to chrome
earnings at the outset of the DCM project. The Framework Agreement further secured Jubilee's
unencumbered PGM rights from all material processed at DCM irrespective of source.
The platinum processing options for the PGM material after the chromite recovery were reviewed
following a detailed test programme and the preferred option now is an owner-build/operate stand-
alone PGM-recovery plant at DCM. Construction of the PGM-recovery plant is expected to
commence in 2018.

review and below that the operational performance for the comparative period:

Kabwe Project - Zambia
Jubilee entered into a joint venture agreement with BMR Group PLC (“BMR”) to execute its
Kabwe surface processing project, which targets the recovery of lead, zinc and vanadium from
historical surface mine tailings and discards in Zambia. This transaction extended Jubilee's reach
beyond the borders of South Africa into both PGMs and base metals, thus leveraging off its in-
house metallurgical skill, project execution track record and operational performance.
The Kabwe Project comprises an estimated 6.4 million tonnes (3.2 million JORC compliant) of
surface assets.
Jubilee's due diligence of the Kabwe Project has confirmed the Company's understanding on the
quantity and quality of the surface stockpiles, tailings and underground resources. Initial test work
by Jubilee has also confirmed that the material leaches in a satisfactory manner. The Company
has also assisted in the determination and confirmation of the optimal metal extraction process.
The second round of leach tests were concluded the result, which confirmed the high
recoverability of the lead, zinc and vanadium contained in the surface resource as well asset
grade predictions. Following these results, Jubilee advised BMR of its intention to exercise its
option to earn a 40% interest in the Kabwe Project. This will enable Jubilee to increase its
effective interest in the Kabwe Project to 57.41% (comprising 40% direct and 17.41% indirectly
as a shareholder in BMR). Exercising of this option is subject only to final documentation against
previously agreed binding commercial and material terms.
Jubilee and BMR have agreed under the joint venture agreement to extend the date for the
fulfilment of all conditions precedent from the 28th of February 2018 to the 31st of March 2018
(“the Long Stop Date”). The extension of the Long Stop Date is to allow BMR and the Kabwe
Project to remedy the revocation of its current small scale mining licence. BMR has submitted a
notice of appeal against the revocation to the Zambian Mining Ministry and Jubilee will continue
to engage with the Zambian Mining Ministry to assist BMR in resolving this matter.
PlatCro Platinum Project
Jubilee continued acquiring further access to valuable surface resources, which included the
acquisition of the PGMs contained in the surface material at PlatCro Minerals (“PlatCro”) in South
Africa.
The PlatCro project executed in March 2017, targets a processing rate of 25 000 tonnes per month
to complement Jubilee's surface tailings platinum production by a further 14 200 ounces of 4E
PGMs per annum.
The Company commenced metallurgical test work on the PlatCro material in order to optimise the
process flowsheet and incorporate a flexible design for processing either in a stand-alone plant or
utilising processing capacity within an existing operation. This work is scheduled for completion
during the second half of 2018.
Project Pipeline
Jubilee has continued to develop both in-house and in-partnership successful proprietary
processing solutions, which optimise metal recovery from waste in an environmentally friendly
and sustainable manner, targeting both platinum group metals and base metals. These
proprietary processes are at the core of Jubilee's processing successes.
On 9 August 2017, Jubilee secured a project funding structure of USD 50 million pre-approved
debt funding, targeting multiple surface-based metal recovery projects based on established
individual project criteria,.
Jubilee now holds a project portfolio comprising low-risk, high-return, short-term projects, which
includes:
- Platinum project to recover PGMs from the estimated 1 400 000 tonnes surface stock at PlatCro
in South Africa
- Platinum project to recover PGMs from the estimated 800 000 tonnes at surface at DCM in
South Africa
- Kabwe project to recover lead, zinc and vanadium from the estimated 6 400 000 tonnes (3 200
000 tonnes JORC compliant) surface tailings at the Kabwe operations in Zambia
Jubilee is well positioned to secure a significant position in the global metals recovery market as
it continues to refine its project execution schedule for various targeted pipeline surface
processing projects. These pipe-line projects offer significant growth potential in the short term
and we are actively in discussions to secure further such surface projects.
Change of Name
At the Company's annual general meeting held on 4 December 2017, shareholders approved a
change of the Company's name to Jubilee Metals Group PLC, with effect 15 December 2017.
The change better reflects the Company's increasingly wider focus on metals other than PGMs
and chrome.
Chairman’s statement
Dear Shareholder,
The period under review has been very active with the ramping up of the Hernic operation. The
activity has included technical modification, optimisation and rationalisation of process routes.
The outcome of this work has been month-on-month improvement in production, productivity
and financial returns. PGM production at Hernic reached 6 629 ounces for the period under
review, and 2 949 ounces to date for Q1 of 2018.
The Dilokong operation has advanced very satisfactorily and is a mature provider of operational
cash flow.
The Company acquired an interest in the lead, zinc and vanadium tailings project from BMR
Group PLC (“BMR”), which was announced on 23 October 2017. The project is in Kabwe,
Zambia. During the period under review we have interrogated all raw data received on the
project. Following this review period, on 6 February 2018, we advised BMR that we intend to
exercise our option to earn a 40% interest in BMR's Kabwe project.
The Company is now moving towards developing the optimal flow sheet to extract the various
metals. On 19 January 2018 the Company acquired a 29.01% interest in BMR.
Throughout the period under review and to date we have continued our new business activities
and are at an advanced stage with a number of projects, any of which could substantially add to
the income generating capacity of the Company and its overall value.
We are committed to our stated mission of taking our brand into other commodities and other
countries and Kabwe is the first mover in this fast track mission.

ordinary shares of 1 pence each at a price of 3.6 pence (ZAR 62.62 cents) per share to raise
approximately GBP 4.5 million before expenses (ZAR 75.78 million at 9 January 2018 conversion rates).

11.2 Kabwe Project – Zambia
Jubilee has invested in a joint venture with BMR for the development of the Kabwe Project and acquired a
29.01% interest in the issued share capital of BMR on 19 January 2018.
Following satisfactory due diligence results, Jubilee advised BMR of its intention to exercise its option to
earn a 40% interest in its Kabwe Project. This will enable Jubilee to increase its effective interest in the
Kabwe Project to 57.41% (comprising 40% direct and 17.41% indirectly as a shareholder in BMR).
Conclusion of this is subject only to final documentation against previously agreed binding commercial
and material terms.
As announced on 6 and 23 February 2018, BMR received notification from the Mining Cadastre
Department of Zambia, dated 19 December 2017, terminating the small scale mining right in respect of
BMR's Kabwe operation. Following meetings between BMR and directors of the Zambian Mining Ministry,
BMR's appeal against the notice of cancellation was submitted on 2 March 2018.
Jubilee is actively supporting BMR during this process. Jubilee has also engaged directly with the
Zambian Department of Mines to demonstrate Jubilee's commitment to providing its technical, operational
and financial strength to the Kabwe Project. Jubilee's engagements were well received by the Zambian
Department of Mines. The Zambian Department of Mines' representatives acknowledged the combined
strength of the BMR and Jubilee team and recognised the significant progress made by the team towards
the execution of the Kabwe Project.
