PRODUCTION REPORT FOR THE SECOND QUARTER ENDING 30 JUNE 2025
Overview - Q2 2025 performance vs. prior period Q2 2024
• Safety performance - We tragically recorded one work-related fatality at
Unki Mine in April 2025. The total recordable injury frequency rate (TRIFR)
improved to 1.28 per million hours at own operations, down from 1.48 per
million hours in the prior period.
• Own-managed mines Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) production (expressed as
5E+Au metal-in-concentrate (M&C)) decreased by 15% to 464,100 ounces
primarily due to lower production from Amandelbult, following the floods
experienced in February 2025. All mining operations at Amandelbult have
resumed and the full year production is expected to be between 450k-480k
ounces (2024: 580k ounces).
• Purchase of PGM concentrate (POC) increased by 2% to 304,900((1))
ounces, due to higher third-party receipts, as well as higher production from
the Modikwa joint operation (50% POC). ((1) ) On a like-for-like basis -
prior periods are restated to exclude Kroondal from purchase of concentrate
volume, excluded from refined owned production, treated as 4E toll refined
production and excluded from sales volumes. Kroondal has transitioned to 4E
tolling arrangement effective September 2024, as outlined in the Kroondal
sales announcement.
• Refined PGMs production (owned production, excluding tolling) decreased
by 12%((1)) to 954,000 ounces as a consequence of lower M&C production due
to the significant rainfall and flooding that disrupted operations at Tumela
Mine at Amandelbult and a larger drawdown of excess work-in-progress inventory
in the prior period.
• PGMs sales volumes (from production, excluding sales from trading)
decreased by 22% to 981,500 ounces, in line with lower refined production. In
the prior period, sales were further supported by a higher draw-down of
finished goods inventory. On a like-for-like basis((1)) PGM sales decreased by
17%.
• Guidance for 2025 - We remain on track to deliver M&C production
within guidance after factoring in the Amandelbult flooding impact, albeit at
the lower end. M&C production from our own operations is expected to be
~2.0 million PGM ounces and POC between ~1.0-1.2 million PGM ounces. Refined
production guidance of 3.0-3.4 million PGM ounces remains unchanged.
Craig Miller, CEO of Valterra Platinum, said:
"Safety is our foremost strategic priority, so it is with great regret and
sadness that we experienced a fatality at Unki Mine when Mr. Felix Kore
tragically lost his life in a mobile equipment-related incident. On behalf of
the entire Valterra Platinum team we convey our sincerest condolences to Mr.
Kore's family, friends and colleagues. The team has thoroughly investigated
the cause of the incident, and we have implemented measures throughout the
entire business to prevent a similar occurrence.
"The repair and recovery work at Amandelbult has progressed well and in line
with our expectations. Dishaba Mine and Tumela Upper restarted in April and
Tumela lower was successfully recommissioned in June 2025 and remains on track
to be at steady-state in the third quarter. Amandelbult is expected to deliver
between 450k-480k ounces in 2025 (2024: 580k ounces). Factoring in the
Amandelbult impact, total M&C production guidance for the year remains
unchanged, albeit at the lower end. Refined production guidance of 3.0-3.4
million PGM ounces remains unchanged.
"We have successfully completed the demerger from Anglo American and
officially started on our new independent journey as Valterra Platinum."

( )REVIEW OF THE QUARTER Safety
Zero harm is our top priority and we remain committed to eliminating
fatalities at all of our operations. We sadly experienced a fatal incident at
Unki Mine in Zimbabwe on 20 April 2025. The incident involved Mr. Felix Kore,
who tragically lost his life in a mobile equipment-related incident while
working underground. The area was secured, and operations in the affected zone
were suspended. An internal investigation was initiated in collaboration with
relevant authorities to determine the root cause and prevent recurrence.
Total recordable injury frequency rate (TRIFR) improved to 1.28 per
million hours at own operations, down from 1.48 per million hours compared to
the prior period. This is predominantly due to a decrease in total injuries as
we continue to strengthen our safety culture across employees and contractors.
This is mainly driven by increased focus on Visible Felt Leadership (VFL) and
increasing attention to material risks which could cause injury or harm.
METAL-IN-CONCENTRATE (M&C) PGM PRODUCTION
Total PGM production
On a like-for-like basis, where prior periods are restated to exclude Kroondal
from purchase-of-concentrate volume, total PGM production in Q2 2025 decreased
by 9% to 769,000 ounces compared to the prior period. The decline is primarily
attributed to the production impacts at Amandelbult as a result of the
flooding (~87,000 ounces), partially offset by higher POC volumes.
PGM production from own mines
Own-mine production was down 15% compared to the prior period, mainly due to
lower production from Amandelbult. Excluding the impact at Amandelbult,
production rose by 1% as a result of higher production from Mogalakwena,
Mototolo and Modikwa. This performance underscores the effectiveness of our
operational stability and improvement activities and the robustness of our
asset base.
PGM production at Amandelbult declined by 55% to 70,200 ounces, due to lower
volumes received from Tumela Lower as the majority of the quarter was spent on
infrastructure repairs and preparing the shaft to recommence production,
following the flooding incident earlier in the year. This was partially offset
by stable production from Dishaba Mine, which remained in line with the prior
period. The overall head grade declined by 8%, primarily due to reduced
volumes from Tumela Mine, which generally yields higher-grade ore than Dishaba
Mine. Mining operations at Tumela Lower resumed in June 2025, while
maintenance and infrastructure repairs continue. The mine is expected to reach
full production and steady-state operations in the third quarter to produce
between 450k and 480k of PGM ounces for the year against 580k ounces in 2024.
Mogalakwena delivered a 1% increase in PGM production to 234,300 ounces,
driven primarily by higher throughput at the concentrators. Progress continues
on pit optimisation and the value-over-volume strategy, reflected in reduced
waste mining and a lower stripping ratio compared to the prior period.
Stability and increased runtime at the North concentrator, along with a
reduction in mass pull following the commissioning of the Jameson cells,
further demonstrates the progress made in implementing our operational
excellence strategic priority. The 4E built-up head grade of 2.48g/t was in
line with expectations, due to the planned blending of low-grade ore
stockpiles. The operation remains on track to meet the full-year blended grade
guidance of 2.7-2.9g/t.
Mototolo's PGM production increased by 2% to 67,500 ounces, reflecting the
benefits of a seven-day mining shift cycle implemented in the second quarter
of 2024, improved ore supply to the concentrator and a higher recovery.
Unki's production declined by 2% to 53,800 PGM ounces primarily due to an
anticipated lower built-up head grade, as well as the negative impact of
nationwide electricity supply disruptions on the stability of the concentrator
plant.
Modikwa PGM production (50% own-mined) increased by 6% to 38,300 ounces
primarily due to increased tonnes milled as a result of the introduction of
the open pit and Merensky material to replace the South 1 infrastructure,
partially offset by a lower concentrator recovery.
Purchases of PGM concentrate
Purchase of concentrate volumes decreased by 18% to 304,900 ounces as
expected, reflecting Kroondal volumes which had transitioned to a 4E tolling
arrangement in September 2024. On a like-for-like basis to exclude Kroondal
from purchase of concentrate volumes in the comparative period, POC increased
by 2% owing to higher third-party receipts, as well as higher production from
the Modikwa joint operation (50% POC).
REFINED PGM PRODUCTION
Refined production decreased by 17% to 954,000 ounces when compared to Q2
2024, as a consequence of lower M&C production due to the significant
rainfall and flooding that disrupted operations at Tumela Mine at Amandelbult
and a larger drawdown of excess work-in-progress inventory in the prior
period. On a like-for-like basis to exclude Kroondal from purchase of
concentrate volumes in the comparative period, refined production decreased by
12%.
On a like-for-like basis, where prior periods are restated to include Kroondal
as tolling, toll-refined PGM production increased by 2% to 194,000 PGM ounces.
Base metal and chrome production
Nickel production decreased by 13% to 6,408 tonnes and copper production
decreased by 23% to 3,573 tonnes, as the prior period included the release of
work-in-progress inventory which is now at normalised levels.
Total chrome production decreased by 33% to 165,000, mainly due to lower
volumes from Amandelbult following the floods, partially offset by increased
chrome production of 39,000 tonnes at Mototolo which would have previously
accrued to Glencore. Modikwa joint operation chrome production remained
constant for the quarter at ~14,000 tonnes.
PGM SALES VOLUMES
PGM sales volumes (excluding trading) decreased by 22% to 981,500 ounces in
line with lower refined production. In the prior period, sales were supported
by a higher draw-down of finished goods inventory. On a like-for-like basis
where prior periods are restated to exclude Kroondal from refined and sales
volumes, PGM sale volumes decreased by 17%.
The average realised basket price of $1,508/PGM ounce was 6% higher, driven by
a 16% higher realised rhodium price and 2% higher realised platinum and
palladium price.
2025 GUIDANCE
We remain on track to deliver M&C production within guidance after
factoring in the Amandelbult flooding impact, albeit at the lower end. M&C
production from our own operations is expected to be ~2.0 million PGM ounces
and POC ~1.0-1.2 million PGM ounces. Refined production guidance of 3.0-3.4
million PGM ounces remains unchanged.
