The report

Headline summary

Forward-looking statements

This report contains certain forward-looking statements and forecasts, which involve risk and uncertainty as they relate to events and rely on, or may be influenced by, future events. Several factors beyond our control could cause actual results or developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Impala Platinum Holdings Limited (Implats) is one of the world's foremost platinum group metals (PGMs) producers. Implats is currently structured around six main operations with a total of 22 underground shafts and one open pit.

Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Statement

The Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Statement as at 30 June 2022 reflects the benefit of the positive long-term pricing outlook for the significant PGMs and capital investments in material projects in the period under review. In addition to the Two Rivers Merensky project which was approved in 2021, two additional mining projects were approved during FY2022 - the Marula Phase II UG2 project and the North Hill project at Mimosa. These projects result in a significant increase in the Mineral Reserve position at both operations and have a significant positive impact at a Group portfolio level. Given that the Royal Bafokeng Platinum (RBPlat) transaction had not been concluded by year-end, Implats has elected not to account for the secured proportion of RBPlat in this declaration and this shall be included in the CY2023 declaration.

Our operations are located within the Bushveld Complex in South Africa, the Great Dyke in Zimbabwe and the Lac des Iles Intrusive Complex in Ontario, Canada.

Implats has its primary listing on the JSE Limited (JSE) in South Africa and a secondary listing on the A2X Markets (A2X), also in South Arica. Our headquarters are based in Johannesburg. The six primary operations are Impala Rustenburg, Marula and Two Rivers in South Africa, Mimosa and Zimplats in Zimbabwe, and Lac des Iles in Canada. The Mimosa and Two Rivers Platinum operations are joint venture operations with Sibanye Stillwater and African Rainbow Minerals (ARM), respectively, with Mimosa being managed by an on-site mine team and overseen

by a joint venture board, and Two Rivers by ARM.

The structure of our operating framework allows for each of our operations to establish and maintain close relationships with its stakeholders, while operating within a Group-wide framework to managing the economic, social and environmental aspects of sustainability.

The report relates to the Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Statement, compiled for Implats and its subsidiaries and provides the status of estimates as at

30 June 2022. An abridged version is included in the Implats integrated annual report for 2022, published annually and available at (www.implats.co.za). The report seeks to provide transparent and compliant details relating to the Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves considered material to stakeholders.

The Group Mineral Resource estimate decreased by 8.7Moz 6E on an attributable basis to 268.6Moz 6E, while the Group Mineral Reserve estimate increased by 2.3Moz 6E on an attributable basis to 55.7Moz 6E.

Greenfields exploration activities remain dormant at the South African and Zimbabwean operations, with some activity undertaken by Impala Canada in the Ontario province. Shaft sinking activities at Impala Rustenburg's 17 and Afplats' Leeuwkop Shafts remain suspended.

Group operations

Implats is structured around six mining and processing operations and Impala Refining Services (IRS), a toll-refining business. Group operations are located on the Bushveld

Implats announced in November 2021 the acquisition of 24.5% of the RBPlat shares and has increased this to 37.83% as at

30 June 2022. A shareholder offer to purchase all RBPlat shares was issued on 7 January 2022. Northam Platinum Holdings Limited applied to the Competition Tribunal to intervene in the approval process, which is under review. The date for finalising the Implats transaction is 19 September 2022. However, the date may be extended. Implats intends incorporating its final consolidated equity-based interest in the year-end FY2023 Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve declaration.

Given the uncompleted transaction, Implats has elected not to report attributable Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves related to the RBPlat transaction. Details regarding the RBPlat mineral assets can be viewed at (https://www.bafokengplatinum.co.za).
