Chairperson's statement

Colin Bird

Non-executive Chairperson

Dear Shareholder,

As we have done over recent years, our company has experienced another year of significant progress across all aspects of the business. Jubilee has delivered a strong financial performance with growth in all aspects of the business, both in South Africa and in Zambia, during a phase of new build, extension to existing facilities and feed and new project acquisitions.

As a rapidly developing company, the board have exercised considerable attention to ESG matters to ensure that there is no disconnect between operational and financial performance, against our environmental, social and governance obligations. ESG has always been at the heart of what Jubilee does and is captured in the Jubilee Way of doing business. I am pleased to say that the word "obligations", whilst being a modern requirement, has always been at the forefront of the Board's mind and as such further formalisation of our protocols has not been unduly onerous. We continue to progress formalisation to ensure that all aspects of our business remain synchronised, with a common mission of responsible, efficient and strongly commercial growth.

The effects and uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic remains to be felt by the world. Jubilee continues to navigate these effects with our operations being able to, in the most part, avoid any direct impact. While our construction projects in Zambia were impacted for a time by the disruptions in supply chains and freight logistics, I am pleased that, despite these impacts, we will shortly commence with the commissioning of our new copper concentrator at Project Roan in Zambia with delivery of copper concentrates to our Sable Refinery on track for Q1 CY2022 next year. At the outset of the pandemic, we put in stringent testing and reporting measures to protect our staff. I do thank everyone involved in the Company for the responsible approach to this pandemic, which we remain incredibly vigilant of.

The year under review was about successfully extending and consolidating our chrome and PGM operations in South Africa as we aimed to serve a wider client base to de-risk the business from any one source, especially following the financial collapse of Hernic Ferrochrome, while also establishing and expanding our copper presence in Zambia. We successfully completed a major upgrade programme at Inyoni which has significantly enhanced our processing capabilities with us now able to process a wide variety of third-party materials leaving us in a unique position to further capitalise on the materials in the market.

In terms of our Zambian operations, we announced during the year the acquisition of several tailings projects in Luanshya and Kitwe, which amounted to gaining the rights to some 300 million tonnes of tailings of varying grades of copper, and in some cases cobalt. The period saw the ramping up of production at the Sable Refinery as they prepare for the commissioning of Project Roan which targets an annual 10 000 tonnes of copper, which may increase to 14 000 tonnes per annum.

Post the period under review, we announced a binding MOU for the Mopani Refining Facility and peripheral hardware which will significantly accelerate our production plans for the Luanshya and Kitwe tailings as part of our Northern Copper and Cobalt refining strategy. The acquisition of these redundant facilities and refurbishing, together with localised tailings dams, will greatly reduce our capital requirements and bring forward processing availability timing by at least 2 years. In general, our achievements in the Zambian copper arena are advancing to plan and we fully expect to attain our target of 25 000 tonnes of annualised copper production to be achieved.
