PROVISIONAL REVIEWED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FOR YEAR
ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2021

1.   SALIENT FEATURES

     The Group and the rest of the mining industry were faced with numerous challenges
     during the past year. Despite all the challenges the Group faced, we still managed to
     make significant strategic headway.

     The final phase of the chrome processing plant was commissioned during the latter part
     of the period, which resulted in the Group becoming a primary chrome concentrate
     producer. Management is in the process of improving the efficiencies of the chrome
     processing plant.

     The Group’s revenue increased by 25% to R1,42 billion and generated cash from
     operating activities of R111.0m (2020: R223.2m).

     The Group’s results were impacted by the COVID-19 lockdown, significant increase in
     logistics rates and a drop in the average chrome price for the year, leading to a gross loss
     of R110.3m (2020: gross profit of R208.1m).

     Subsequent to year end, the Group secured a life of mine offtake agreement with a
     reputable PGM producer for its intermediate product produced by the chrome processing
     plant.

     Headline loss per share (“HLPS”) decreased by 198% to -3.58 cents per share, from -1.2
     cents per share in the prior corresponding period.

     Loss per share (“LPS”) decreased by 189% to -3.84 cents per share, from -1.33 cents per
     share in the prior corresponding period.
