included the construction and commissioning of two new chrome beneficiation
facilities and the commencement of the construction of the expanded and
refocused Inyoni PGM operation

o  Chrome Operations delivered 751 223 tonnes of chrome concentrate (2020:
377 883 tonnes), generating chrome revenue of £ 34.5 million (ZAR 714
million) (2020: £ 17.2 million (ZAR 339.1 million)) on the back of increased
operational capacities; this is set to increase further with the commencement
of commissioning of the new Chrome Beneficiation circuit completed during Q2
CY2021

o  Secured the rights to a further approximately 150 million tonnes of copper
containing surface    tailings, targeted to be upgraded at site before
refining at Jubilee's targeted Northern Refinery in Zambia. This will be done
through a joint operation with the mining rights' holder. Project Elephant
alone holds the potential to produce copper concentrates in excess of the
total Sable       Refinery capacity of 14 000 tonnes per annum of copper
cathode

o  Copper production reached 2 026 tonnes since commissioning as part of
enabling operational    readiness to accept first copper concentrate
production from Project Roan. Project Roan's integrated copper concentrator is
on track for commissioning by January 2022

Chief Executive Officer's Review

 

The Jubilee team delivered an exceptional performance during this financial
year, achieving growth in all of our core business units; PGMs and Chrome and
also generating maiden earnings from our new Zambian Copper portfolio. During
this period, Jubilee in addition executed a number of targeted transactions
and investments valuing £ 20 million, to not only underpin our growth  but
which also offer the opportunity for further growth. A brief summary of the
transactions and investments included:

 

Chrome and PGM

 

o  On 13 August 2020, Jubilee entered into a third party Run-Of-Mine ("ROM")
chrome ore offtake agreement that fully commits its 70 000 tonnes per month
Windsor chrome beneficiation plant for the next three years, with an option
for this to be extended further;

o  On 24 August 2020, Jubilee executed a processing agreement whereby it was
appointed as operator to design, operate and capitalise the expansion of a ROM
chrome beneficiation plant to reach 80 000 tonnes per month for a minimum
period of 3 years;

o  During February 2021, Jubilee commenced with the capitalisation and
expansion of the 50 000 tonnes per month Inyoni PGM plant to a 75 000 tonnes
per month processing facility. This formed part of the refocusing of the
Inyoni Operation to a third-party processing facility for a variety of
clients;

o  On 3 June 2021, Jubilee has entered into a further long-term, 10+ years of
mine life, PGM feed supply agreement, with a chrome mining customer, offering
Jubilee the opportunity to expand its PGM Operations into the Eastern Limb of
the PGM-rich Bushveld Complex. In addition, Jubilee has acquired the rights to
the processing of 255 000 tonnes of PGM containing chrome tailings in the
Eastern Limb, further increasing Jubilee's existing surface PGM tailings;

o  On 4 June 2021, Jubilee announced that it had in addition secured the
right to process a further 944 000 tonnes of PGM containing tailings in the
Eastern Limb of the PGM-rich Bushveld Complex

 

Copper and Cobalt

 

o  On 6 August 2020, Jubilee established Project Roan by signing a joint
venture agreement with a private Zambian company, to secure the rights to
process 2 million tonnes of copper ROM material containing in excess of 2%
copper, with the potential to increase the ROM material to 4 million tonnes in
addition to a further approximate 6 million tonnes of copper tailings. The
construction of the new copper concentrator is underway targeting to commence
commissioning activities by January 2022;

o  On 5 November 2020, Jubilee established Project Elephant by concluding a
further JV copper tailings transaction to secure the rights to an additional
approximately 115 million tonnes of copper and cobalt containing surface
tailings in Zambia. This transaction combined with the 150 million tonnes
secured at     Luanshya established the Northern Copper and Cobalt
Refinery strategy;

o  Jubilee completed the capitalisation of the ROM ore processing circuit to
enhance the Sable Refinery's processing capabilities.

 

Post the period under review

 

o On 24 August 2021, Jubilee executed a binding Memorandum of Understanding
with Mopani    Copper Mines Plc as part of its Northern Copper and Cobalt
Refining Strategy;

o On 15 September 2021, Jubilee successfully concluded the buy-out of the JV
partner in Project                 Roan while also increasing
its JV position at Project Elephant.

While all of this work understandably has put significant pressure on
day-to-day operations, I am thrilled to still  be reporting further
production and earnings progress. Crucially, the investment, time and effort
spent in building and integrating these facilities has set a platform for
tremendous potential growth opportunities. The significant upgrade undertaken
at the Inyoni PGM Operations which was completed post the period under review
in October 2021, has enabled Inyoni to pursue a variety of PGM feed materials
ensuring a long-term sustainable operation.  The disruption to production
caused by this significant upgrade during the current H2 CY2021 period is
expected to be recovered during H1 CY2022.

We have seen further growth in South Africa during the period under review,
with a number of new, long term PGM supply agreements, each of significant
strategic value given their locations on the Eastern Limb of the mineral-rich
Bushveld Complex. As well as demonstrating our ability to win and form
partnerships with key chrome  mining clients, these new supply agreements
provide us with the opportunity to replicate the success of our Inyoni
Operation in the Western Limb region, which is of significant value to us in
supplying a continued and sustained chrome and PGM feed.

With the support of our long-term stakeholders, along with some very welcome
blue-chip institutional investors to the share register during the period, our
maturing Company continues on a very exciting growth trajectory, both
operationally and financially, as our strategy continues to be implemented.

Operationally, the Company has achieved its stated target of 50 000 PGM ounces
for FY 2021 at 50 162 ounces (an increase of 23% compared with 40 743 ounces
for FY2020). This target was achieved during a period which included the
construction and commissioning   of   two   new   chrome beneficiation
facilities and the commencement of the construction of the expanded Inyoni PGM
operation which is expected to be completed during Q4 of CY2021. The expansion
and upgrade of the Inyoni operations is in-line with the re-focusing of the
Inyoni operations from previously only processing historical tails stockpiled
and generated by Hernic Ferrochrome Proprietary Limited, prior to it being
placed in Business Rescue and the assets ultimately being sold to Samancor, to
focusing Inyoni on the processing of feed material supplied by a variety of
clients secured under medium- and long-term feed supply agreements. During the
period under review, the Company also expanded its operational footprint in
the Eastern Limb of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa - a strategic
development which demonstrates Jubilee's ability to continue to grow its
business by re-investing its earnings into high growth projects.

Chrome operations achieved 751 223 chrome concentrate tonnes for FY2021 (377
883 tonnes   during FY2020) on the back of increased operational capacities.
This is set to increase further with the commissioning of the new Chrome
Beneficiation circuit, which was completed at the end of Q2 CY2021.

In Zambia, early earnings from copper production were achieved. Copper
production increased to 1 387 tonnes of copper for FY2021 as part of the
process of securing operational readiness to accept first copper concentrate
production from Project Roan. Project Roan's integrated copper concentrator is
set for commissioning and targeting to commence commercial operations during
Q1 CY2022, which will result in the first significant increase in copper
production by the Sable Refinery targeting 10 000 tonnes of copper units
annually. The fully operational Sable Refinery achieved positive earnings as
part of its operational readiness activities with attributable operational
earnings of £ 3.7 million for FY2021 compared to £ 1.2 million for FY2020.

Achieving first delivery, on time, of partially upgraded copper concentrate
from Project Roan to the fully operational Sable Refinery was the first major
step in Jubilee's commitment to achieving its targeted production of 25 000
tonnes per annum of copper within the next four years. The commissioning of
the integrated copper concentrator is on track and scheduled to reach
commercial production in Q1 CY2022, while Jubilee's second copper project,
located in the Luanshya area,  has completed the development programme and is
concluding the detail design phase to commence the implementation programme in
the next few months.

On 24 August 2021, Jubilee executed a binding Memorandum of Understanding with
Mopani Copper Mines Plc, a subsidiary of ZCCM Investment Holdings Plc in
Zambia, ("Mopani", "ZCCM" and "Parties") for the implementation of additional
copper and cobalt refining capacity through the re-capitalisation of existing
refining capacity placed under care and maintenance by Mopani (the
"Agreement"). The Agreement forms a key part of Jubilee's Northern Refining
strategy which offers the potential to establish an accelerated refining
presence at both its Sable Refinery in the South as well as at Kitwe in the
North  to better serve all of its secured copper and cobalt tailings projects
- offering the potential of a combined refining capacity of 31 000 tonnes of
copper units per annum. Jubilee is now able to accelerate the implementation
of its Zambian copper strategy at significantly reduced capital and project
risk.

 

 

Chairman's Statement

 

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 has 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. The
copper potential of Zambia remains and as such we maintain an aggressive
programme to advance our position and annual production in country.

 

At the beginning of May 2021, we announced our option with Caerus Mineral
Resources Plc to research and test dumps in Cyprus left by many mining
operations over many years. The dumps are likely to be copper and gold
containing, and a number of cases could be quite sizable.  We are currently
carrying out test work on a number of samples derived from various sites, with
a view to assessing likely processing results.  The dumps are thought to be
high grade, both in copper and gold. This option represents our first venture
out of Africa and commences the role out of our brand, which we call The
Jubilee Way, since the way of doing business in the tailings space is unique
to our company.

 

In terms of PGM and chrome production, we increased our financial performance
throughout the period despite a planned significant upgrading of our Inyoni
Operations, which was disruptive to the current operation and completed post
the period under review in October 2021. The new expanded Inyoni Operations
are now able to process a variety of feed sources which was previously limited
to the treatment of historical material provided by the then Hernic.

 

Towards year end we announced a substantial acquisition for the rights to 944
000 tonnes of PGM containing tailings in the Eastern Limb, which marks our
entry into gaining position in the Eastern Limb of the South African Bushveld
Complex. The move to PGM supply agreements in the Eastern Limb was a key
strategic decision too, giving access to this area offering a platform to
pursue further growth opportunities.

 

During the year we have seen with the pandemic biting into everyone's lives in
various ways, showing no respite and reproducing itself in new forms and the
uncertainty of pandemic management still exists. Against this uncertain
environment stock markets have advanced to all-time highs and commodity prices
have seen unprecedented growth. Any and all metals which will be required for
future clean energy generation or storage have seen significant price
increases. The outlook for copper in particular remains buoyant, with many
predictions that the year CY2030 will see a doubling in demand for copper.  I
for one, see the supply side being severely challenged, with Chile as a major
contributor to the copper supply, being challenged technically and socially.
The large copper systems that are now in favour are few and far between and
have a gestation period of some twelve years. The lack of big projects being
developed will, to me, facilitate smaller copper production from both surface
and underground mines.  The reason being simply that the period to bring into
production is much less. The inability of supply to keep up the demand should
keep the price of copper above US$ 8 500 per tonne. We do, however, anticipate
that prices may exceed US$ 11 000 per tonne during CY2023 and beyond. The
possession of copper secondaries, mined and on surface, gives Jubilee a very
good position in tomorrow's copper production and promises superior returns to
its shareholders.

 

Likewise, in the PGM space, we see the emergence of the fuel cell,
particularly in China, which will underpin the PGM price and increase the
price as demand for fuel cell energy increases over the coming years.  Your
company is well positioned in the new energy space and has a style of doing
business which is both unique and transferable, The Jubilee Way.

 

We look forward to continuing to deliver to our shareholders with our further
growth and development in the exciting space of waste retreatment.  We most
definitely have a first mover advantage.

 

Finally, I would like to thank everyone in our team for the tireless efforts
in producing splendid results in challenging times.  Upwards and onwards, and
long may it continue.

4.         Segmental analysis

 

In the opinion of the Directors, the operations of the Group companies
comprise of four reporting segments being:

 

o  the processing of PGM, chrome and copper containing materials ("Metals
Processing");

o  a combination of targeted process consulting and developing, focussed on
the development and implementation of process solutions, specifically
targeting both liquid and solid waste streams from mine processes. This
includes existing pilot operations as part of the process development cycle to
provide mature solutions which includes extractive-metallurgy, pyro-metallurgy
and hydro-metallurgy ("Business Development");

o  the exploration (Exploration); and

o  the parent company operates a head office based in the United Kingdom,
which incurs certain administration and corporate costs. ("Corporate").

 

The Group's operations span five countries, South Africa, Australia,
Mauritius, Zambia and the United Kingdom. There is no difference between the
accounting policies applied in the segment reporting and those applied in the
Group financial statements. Madagascar does not meet the qualitative threshold
under IFRS 8, consequently no separate reporting is provided.

6.         Going Concern

 

Jubilee operates several chrome-Platinum Group Metal (PGM) operations in South
Africa and has commissioned a copper and cobalt circuit (the 'Sable' refinery)
in Zambia. The Company has a growth pipeline identified and significant
opportunities to find new projects in Africa (or globally); more specifically
it is looking to increase its copper (cobalt) production in Zambia to make
full use of its Sable Refinery. The company model is to treat its own waste
materials and to supplement these with third party ores and wastes where
possible.

Following conclusion of a number of transactions Jubilee now has increased PGM
production capacity built on the back of secured feed availability and
sustainability. Strong cash flows were generated from the established and
still growing PGM production now bolstered by additional copper cash flows and
profit provide for both liquidity and funding of further investments,
including now demonstrated ability to raise funding short and long term at
very competitive rates.

Jubilee has also secured increased chrome production capacity ensuring
sustainability through ROM supply contracts and continuous processing of
chrome with fixed margins (no market exposure and locked in profit), which now
secures ongoing current arisings PGM feed in addition to the secured
historical PGM tails. This gives optimal feed and further increases Jubilee's
resource. The transactions have also brought further opportunity for growth
and expansion in for example the Eastern Limb of the bushveld.

Copper is already generating cash prior to Project Roan coming on stream.
Jubilee is expecting a significant ramp up in copper activities in Zambia from
Q1 CY2022, making Zambia capable of being self-sufficient in terms of funding
for both current operations and future projects.

Jubilee's business strategy is based on three core business pillars:

Process research and development (R&D)

o  Consists of a combination of targeted process consulting and R&D,
focussed on the development and implementation of process solutions,
specifically targeting both liquid and solid waste streams from
                mine processes.

 

o  Our R&D includes existing pilot operations as part of the process
development cycle to provide mature solutions which includes
extractive-metallurgy, pyro-metallurgy and hydro-metallurgy.

 

o  This process has led to many previously non-viable environmental and
metals recovery projects becoming commercially viable. With the growing demand
for solutions to mining wastes and the growing requirement for 'Environmental,
Social & Corporate Governance' (ESG) in mining investments the pedigree,
experience and ability of Jubilee will be of increasing importance.

 

o  Following a very strong demand in Africa, Jubilee has concluded two
acquisitions in Zambia to advance its footprint in other jurisdictions.

Operations

o  Jubilee owns and operates recovery plants for the recovery of metals and
minerals, currently recovering precious metals including PGMs and Chrome and
targeting base metals including lead, zinc, vanadium and copper.

 

o  Jubilee has a low-cost, high-margin business that capitalises on Jubilee's
experienced, technical management team which has developed innovative
processing techniques to generate cash from          (mainly) the
waste material produced as part of the mining cycle; "the Jubilee Way".

Project Funding

o  We are able to provide funding to support our partners within smaller or
larger companies to implement the waste recovery projects. Such funding would
be aimed at especially assisting in instances where the company holding the
mineral right prefers to be a passive investment partner.

 

o  Our successful R&D work has set the pace for the Company to partner
with strategic owners of        rights and waste material to form joint
operations where Jubilee plays the important role of operator and in some
instances funder.

The Group meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through cash
generated from operations. The Group's current operational projects are all
fully funded and self-sustaining.

The current global economic climate creates to some extent uncertainty
particularly over:

 

o  the trading price of metals; and

 

o  the exchange rate fluctuation between the US$ and the ZAR and thus the
consequence for the cost of the company's raw materials as well as the price
at which product can be sold.

The Group's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible
changes in trading performance, commodity prices and currency fluctuations,
indicates that the Group should be able to operate within the level of its
current cash flow earnings forecasted for the next twelve months.

The Group is adequately funded and has access to further equity placings,
which together with contracts with several high-profile customers strengthens
the Group's ability to meet its day-to-day working capital requirements,
including its capital expenditure requirements. Therefore, the directors
believe that the Group is suitably funded and placed to manage its business
risks successfully despite identified economic uncertainties.

The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future,
thus continuing to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing
the annual financial statements.

 

7.         Events after the reporting period

 

7.1       Jubilee and Mopani Copper Mines Plc enter into binding MOU for Refining Facility for Copper

On 24 August 2021 Jubilee executed a binding Memorandum of Understanding with
Mopani Copper Mines Plc, a subsidiary of ZCCM Investment Holdings Plc in
Zambia, ("Mopani", "ZCCM" and collectively the "Parties") for the
implementation of additional copper and cobalt refining capacity through the
recapitalisation of existing refining capacity placed under care and
maintenance by Mopani (the "Agreement"). This additional refining capacity
targets to increase Jubilee's existing copper refining capacity by a further
17 000 tonnes of copper per annum (the "Project") and, together with the Sable
Refinery, increases the Group's total potential refining capacity to in excess
of 31 000 tonnes per annum. The Project will establish Jubilee's Northern
Zambian refining footprint for the refining of the copper and cobalt
concentrates produced at Jubilee's Kitwe and the Luanshya copper and cobalt
tailings. Jubilee's Sable Refinery will be dedicated to the refining of
concentrates produced by its Project Roan currently under construction and set
to commence commissioning by January 2022 as well as its copper tailings at
Kabwe and contracted third party ore suppliers.

As previously announced, during 2020 Jubilee entered into joint venture
agreements to secure rights to process over 300 million tonnes of copper and
cobalt containing tailings in Zambia. The copper and cobalt tailings are
located in three central locations in Zambia. With the addition of the
refinery at Mopani the project naming convention has been updated for clarity
as follows:

 

o  Southern Refinery Strategy (14 000 tpa capacity) which incorporates the
Sable Refinery together with Project Roan located in the Ndola area; and

o  Northern Refinery Strategy (17 000 tpa capacity) which incorporates the
newly targeted refinery at Mopani, called Leopard together with the copper
tailings project in the Luanshya area, called Project Lechwe (previously
Elephant 1), as well as the copper and cobalt tailings in the Kitwe area
called Project Elephant (previously called Elephant 2). Jubilee has secured
additional copper and cobalt tailings at Mufulira which is currently being
sampled to confirm the quantity and quality and will form part of the Project
Elephant resource.

Jubilee is planning to construct a processing facility at each of the three
locations. The first of the processing facilities is under construction at
Project Roan, which targets a ramp-up over three phase to reach full
production to a rate of approximate 10 000 tonnes of equivalent copper units
per annum with commissioning scheduled to commence by January 2022 and
reaching full production by end of Q2 2022. Roan commenced with the delivery
of early concentrate as part of its phase 1 commissioning to Sable Refinery in
April of this year.

The completion of the design work for the Company's second copper processing
facility, Project Lechwe, whereby Jubilee has secured the rights to
approximately 160 million tonnes of copper containing surface tailings, is
progressing well and remains on track. Project Lechwe targets to commence
production during Q4 2022 targeting a production rate of 7 500 copper units
per annum as part of the Northern Refinery Strategy.

7.2       Agreements to acquire ownership in Zambia Copper and Cobalt Tailings Projects and Placing

 

Jubilee announced significant further progress at its Copper and Cobalt
tailings projects in Zambia with the successful execution of three strategic
transactions (the "Transactions") which significantly increases its beneficial
interest across the Group's copper and cobalt tailings projects in Zambia. The
Transactions include Project Elephant (Kitwe Tailings Project), Project Roan
(Ndola Tailings Project) and the Mufulira Project (collectively, the
"Projects"). Completion of the Transactions is subject to fulfilment of
certain conditions precedent that are normal for transactions of this nature
including regulatory approvals and consent.

 

At completion of the Transactions, Jubilee will hold a 100% interest across
its integrated Southern Refining Strategy  which includes the Sable copper
and cobalt refinery (14 000 tonnes per annum copper capacity) together with
Project Roan (10 000 tonnes per annum copper concentrator). In addition,
Jubilee increases its beneficial interest across its Northern Refining
Strategy, with Project Elephant's TD52 portion to 80.75% (highest copper and
cobalt concentration of all tailings within Project elephant) which is
specifically targeted by the accelerated development of  Jubilee's cobalt
extraction process, Jubilee's beneficial interest at the Mufulira Project
increasing to 97%.

Combined, the Transactions have an aggregate value of c. US$ 24.77 million (c.
£ 17.83 million) and offers Jubilee the flexibility to better schedule the
development of the various tailings projects. As such Jubilee will increase
its investment into the Southern Refining Strategy by expanding Sable Refinery
to increase the copper sulphide recovery circuit as well as expanding the
cobalt recovery circuit.

Accordingly, the Company successfully completed an equity placing to raise
gross proceeds of c. £ 30 million (c. US$ 41.8 million) by way of a placing
of new ordinary shares at a price of 16.03 pence per share, which will be
applied to satisfy the consideration in respect of the Transactions and
towards the expansion of Sable Refinery while accelerating the capitalisation
and progress of Project Lechwe and Project Elephant.

ANNEXURE 1 - Headline earnings per share

Accounting policy

Accountants (SAICA).

 

In compliance with paragraph 18.19 (c) of the JSE Listings Requirements the
