Anthony Viljoen, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"I am immensely proud to present our FY2025 Sustainability Report, which
demonstrates that responsible mining and operational excellence are not
competing priorities but are complementary imperatives. This year's
achievements, particularly our zero lost-time injury performance and
substantial expansion of local procurement, validate the strategic investments
we have made in our people, processes, and partnerships. We have also laid
critical foundations for the future, progressing our Nature Roadmap, moving
from climate scenario analysis to strategy, and advancing our alignment with
the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management.
We recognise that our licence to operate depends not only on what we produce,
but how it is produced. That is why we continue to deepen our engagement with
host communities, strengthen our environmental management systems, and
maintain the highest standards of governance and transparency. As we expand
our portfolio and advance projects such as Brandberg West and Lithium Ridge,
the sustainability standards we have established at Uis will serve as the
blueprint for all future operations. We are committed to continuous
improvement, transparency with all stakeholders, and ensuring that Andrada
remains a leader in responsible critical minerals production."

Andrada's portfolio of tin, tantalum, lithium, tungsten, and copper positions

Sustainability Report demonstrates how we are upholding this responsibility
through operational excellence, community partnership, and environmental
