Windsor PGM Project Reaches Full Operational Status
Dissemination of a Regulatory Announcement that contains inside information according to
REGULATION (EU) No 596/2014 (MAR)
Jubilee Metals Group ("Jubilee" or the “Company"), the AIM and Altx traded international metals
processing company, is pleased to announce that the joint venture PGM recovery plant (“PGM Plant”)
targeted for the recovery of the PGM rich material owned through its subsidiary Windsor SA
(“Windsor PGM Project” or “the Project”) has successfully been commissioned and is fully operational.
The Project produced 1, 346 PGM ounces in its first operational month of August 2019. The Windsor
PGM Project which holds 1.45 million tonnes of chrome and PGM-rich material at surface with further
current arisings being added, offers the potential to more than double Jubilee’s existing PGM
production and significantly enhance the Company’s earnings.
Operational & Projects Highlights
• Commenced operations in July 2019 initially targeting low grade PGM material to complete
commissioning of the PGM Plant before commencing processing of higher grade PGM
material during the last week of August 2019
• The Project has processed 70,077 tonnes of feed material, producing 1,346 PGM ounces for
the month of August 2019 which has been on-sold to a third party refinery
• To date, Jubilee has delivered 468,779 tonnes of feed material to the PGM Plant with
September 2019 targeting the processing of 60,000 tonnes and the production of 2,200 of
saleable PGM ounces
• The grinding circuit and final flotation recovery circuits have successfully been brought on-
line during August 2019 which will further enhance efficiencies
• The positive pricing environment for PGMs further increases the economics of this low cost

Leon Coetzer, Chief Executive Officer, says:
“With the Windsor PGM Project reaching its full operational status we have reached yet another
significant milestone as we continue to grow and diversify our earnings base.
The Project holds the potential to double our existing PGM production delivering enhanced earnings
without any capital burden or time delay associated with the construction of a new PGM recovery
plant. I am particularly excited by the early results achieved during the commissioning phase utilising
our tailored processing solutions, which support our expectation to achieve a consistent minimum
throughput of 60,000 tonnes per month with the potential to deliver approximately 2,500 additional
low cost PGM ounces to the Group per month.
“Bringing Windsor PGM into full operation has been a strong team effort with our JV partner. The JV
structure and terms, which incorporate a fixed processing cost with associated earnings share, ensures
that both parties are incentivised to maximise PGM recoveries and operational efficiencies.
“Following the completion of our acquisition of Sable Zinc Kabwe during August 2019, adding copper,
vanadium, zinc and lead to our commodity basket, we are consistently delivering on our strategy of
diversifying earnings across multiple commodities and jurisdictions. We have an exceptional technical
and project execution team that allows us to take advantage of a distinct opportunity of recovering
metals from mine waste. Our market is truly international and with an established portfolio being
developed we are on course to build a global metals recovery business.”
The Project
Jubilee commenced operations at Windsor PGM in July 2019 ahead of completing commissioning of
the PGM Plant, in tandem with the Company’s JV partner, and commencing the production of higher
grade PGM material during the last week of August 2019. This Project has the potential to double the
Company’s current PGM ounce production over the life of the Project. Jubilee is targeting PGM
processing at a rate of 60,000 tonnes of feed material per month with the potential to produce
approximately 2,500 PGM ounces per month.
A total of 70,077 tonnes were processed to end August 2019, producing 1,346 PGM ounces. Jubilee
has delivered 468,779 tonnes of PGM rich material to the PGM Plant as of the end August 2019. The
full PGM Plant has been fully commissioned which includes the grinding circuit and both the primary
and secondary recovery circuits, which are expected to enhance the PGM extraction efficiencies.
The Windsor PGM Project, being a surface processing plant, facilitates the responsible processing of
historical waste dumps for the recovery of metals at a low cost. It is part of Jubilee’s wider project
located in the Western Bushveld Complex, where the Company is already processing chrome at
Windsor Chrome, one of South Africa’s largest chrome recovery facilities. The Company has a distinct
expansion plan aimed at utilising its team, diversifying commodity and jurisdictional exposure to build
cash flow and maximise the international opportunity particularly with the increasing environmental
obligations faced by mining companies.
