Dividend

A long-standing commitment to paying a dividend

Due to the uncertain business environment associated with the COVID-19 Pandemic, the board of directors has decided to defer its approval of the declaration of the second quarterly dividend of 2020. The board will keep this decision under constant review as it monitors prevailing market conditions.

  • Caledonia has paid dividends since 2012
    • Initial dividend of 5 Canadian cents paid Feb 2013 associated with share consolidation
    • Annual dividend of 5 Canadian cents for 2012 paid in April 2013
    • Quarterly dividends commenced in Jan 2014 at 1.5 Canadian cents per quarter
    • Jan 2016: dividends were denominated in US dollars at 1.125 US cents per quarter
    • April 2016: Caledonia redomiciles from Canada to Jersey; dividends no longer incur Canadian withholding tax resulting in an effective increase for UK shareholders
    • Oct 2016: quarterly dividend increased to 1.375 cents
    • July 2017: quarterly dividend increased to 6.875 US cents to reflect 1 for 5 share consolidation
    • Jan 2020: quarterly dividend increased to 7.5 cents

Operating Cash Flow

  • Operating cash flow and capital expenditure forecasts for Blanket Mine are extracted from the technical report dated 13 February 2018 entitled "National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Blanket Mine,

Gwanda Area, Zimbabwe (Updated February 2018), a copy of which was filed by the Company on SEDAR on March 2, 2018 using a gold price of $1,214 per ounce. These forecasts are for Blanket Mine and

exclude Caledonia's G&A costs, inter-company adjustments and the export credit incentive for Zimbabwean gold producers

Cash flow forecasts in 2023 and 2024 include only production from M&I resources as per National Instrument 43-101 standards. Management anticipate supplementing production from inferred resources as

*

these resources are delineated with further exploration work.

Attractive new opportunities

in Zimbabwe

16

The Zimbabwe Opportunity

World-class gold potential: under-explored and under-capitalized

Historic & current 1Moz+ producers

Significant regional potential

  • Zimbabwe has historically produced over 45 million ounces of gold
  • Prior to 2000, Zimbabwe produced more gold than Mali, Tanzania, Burkina Faso and Guinea
  • Several prolific gold belts with potential for further multi million-ounce discoveries

Harare

Production: >4Moz

Existing Resources: approx. 1.9Moz

Gwanda Greenstone Belt - Including Blanket Mine

17

The Zimbabwe Opportunity

Evaluation Criteria

  • New investment opportunities in Zimbabwe where surplus cash arising from Central Shaft could be deployed
  • Brownfield projects
    • modest initial acquisition cost
    • modest initial resource base
    • further investment over 2-3 years with the objective of identifying a significant compliant resource

base

    • projects may have potential for modest near-term production e.g. from shallow oxide material and/or re-treating tailings/dumps
  • Strict evaluation criteria for new projects:
    • scale: minimum target resource 1Moz; minimum target production of 50,000 ounces per annum
    • must enhance NPV per share and, eventually, dividend per share
  • Caledonia does not intend to chase low-margin production which dilute shareholder value
  • Long term objective: to identify sufficient resources to support a mid-tier gold, Zimbabwe-focussed gold producer

18

Zimbabwe

Challenging but grounds for optimism

  • Government has a commercial and pragmatic approach with several encouraging policy measures
  • Genuine attempts to stimulate investment e.g. the removal of indigenisation requirement
  • Government is reducing its spending, increasing its tax base and addressing its offshore debts
    • Modest cuts to domestic spending and increased taxes has resulted in an $800m Budget Surplus in H1 2019
      • Proposed repeal the of the Public Order and Security Act (POSA) and Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA), which are the major obstacles to a normalisation of relations with the USA
      • Two factors are of critical importance to create a conducive investment and operating environment
        • Re-introductionof Zimbabwe dollar in February 2019 allows local inflation to be absorbed
        • Continued access to US$ to make payments out of Zimbabwe

19

Investment Case - Summary

14 years of high margin operations with upside potential

  • A strong track record and robust operator
    • highly profitable and cash generative
    • strong management team: proven track record and excellent in-country relations
  • Substantial, near-term,fully-funded production growth
    • A 6-year investment programme is now substantially de- risked and very close to completion
    • 45% production growth planned
    • Increasing cash generation expected from 2020: higher production; lower costs; reduced capex
  • Attractive dividend yield with scope for further increases
    • One of the highest yields in the gold industry
    • A historic commitment to dividends
    • Increased cash flow could support further dividend increases
  • Exciting new growth opportunities
    • Zimbabwe is a highly prospective and under-explored gold region
    • Caledonia is uniquely positioned: a strong local presence
