Notice of Annual General Meeting

Inaugural Integrated Annual Report

 

Jubilee Metals Group PLC, a diversified leader in metals processing with
operations in Africa (AIM: JLP/Altx: JBL), is pleased to announce its audited
results for the year ended 30 June 2022 ("FY2022"). Jubilee is also
publishing, today, its inaugural Integrated Annual Report. The Company's
evolution over the past 18 months has been primarily facilitated by a £58
million (US$71 million) capital expansion project through which it has
successfully funded the acquisition and refurbishment of processing facilities
in South Africa's PGM and chrome-rich Bushveld Complex and the copper-rich
Southern extent of Zambia. It has also been aided by the notable expansion of
the Group's client base and the acquisition of new feedstock sources.

This positive trajectory is a foretaste of what is to come to rapidly expand
our operational footprint in Zambia and seize further growth opportunities in
South Africa while holding the potential to replicate this success across
multiple jurisdictions. As Jubilee intends to continue targeting metals that
are linked to a low-carbon future, particularly renewable energy production
and battery storage, our position and value to the global supply chain will
become increasingly entrenched. The successful implementation of the capital
programme has reshaped the Company by further diversifying its earnings across
metals and jurisdictions and has laid the platform for enhanced growth in the
coming financial year.

 

 

Key Achievements for FY2022

 

·    Jubilee successfully completed its capitalisation and expansion
programme and delivered on its targeted production for PGM (41 586 ounces),
chrome (1 222 452 tonnes) and copper (2 604 tonnes) and maintained its
zero-fatality rating with an LTIFR of 1.50 in South Africa and 2.90 in Zambia

·    In South Africa, construction and ramp-up of the 45% expanded Inyoni
operation was completed in March 2022, allowing Inyoni to accept multiple
types of feed sources with an annualised capacity of 44 000 PGM ounces and a
combined 1.2 million tonnes of by-product chrome concentrate (up 85%)

·    In Zambia, the fully integrated Southern Copper Refining Strategy was
delivered with the completion of construction of the new Roan copper
concentrator and commissioning and ramp-up commencing in July 2022 reaching
nameplate throughput rates during September 2022

·    The combined investment has resulted in an increase in the tangible
net asset value per share of 40% to 4.84 pence for FY2022

·    Revenue increased by 5.4% to £140 million (US$186 million), despite
the completion of the investment program during the period under review. The
early implementation of the new chrome circuit resulted in increased chrome
by-product credits (up 101%) contributing to a lower US$ cost per PGM ounce
(down 10%)

·    Robust balance sheet after fully settling long-term debt of £5.3
million

·    Positive net cash position with current assets covering total
liabilities by 131%

·    EBITDA of £37 million (US$45 million) 25% lower, despite completion
of the extensive capital programme alongside production

·    Cash from operating activities up 11% showing strong cash flows from
operations

 

 

Ollie Oliveira, Incoming Chairman commented: "It is an exciting time to join
such a unique company at the forefront of extracting metal from waste and
perceived waste. The very nature of the Group's business model means we are in
a unique position to clean up historic tailings, and therefore economically
benefit all stakeholders. Jubilee has become a global leader in waste and
tailings processing.

 

"The Group has built a very strong track record in South Africa and has
started rapidly expanding in both South Africa and now Zambia. This has indeed
been a transformative year for Jubilee and a strong growth platform has been
created, with exciting projects in both countries for us to pursue.

 

"Beyond delivering on the medium-term plan of executing the Northern Copper
Refining Strategy in Zambia and continuing to expand our operational
footprint, we have also focused our attention on addressing improved
governance at the board level and the strengthening of risk management along
with all the other controls that need to be present in a company that has
grown as fast as Jubilee has over the past few years."

 

Leon Coetzer, CEO, commented: "The year to June 2022 was a transformative year
in Jubilee's journey. The team has delivered a significantly expanded and
further diversified operational footprint. We overcame a number of challenges
to execute a highly complex capital expansion programme and established a
solid foundation in our pursuit of becoming a global leader in processing and
retreating historical mine waste and perceived waste, whilst growing
responsibly.

 

"At the core of the Jubilee story, something I am most proud of is that the
solution we offer allows us to not only clean up environmental liabilities
such as tailings deposits but in parallel, treat third-party mine feed that
ordinarily would be headed to a waste dump.

 

"I am pleased that we finished the year strongly, generating increased revenue
(5.4% higher than the previous year) mostly attributable to the nearly
doubling of the chrome operations as a forerunner to the expanded PGM
operations at Inyoni, and stronger copper production in Zambia. We have seen
positive operational earnings of £45 million (US$60 million) for the year.
The 10% drop in unit cash cost to produce a PGM ounce is very significant and
is a direct result of the increased contribution of chrome as a by-product
increasing by 262% compared to FY2021.

 

"Importantly, we were able to eliminate £5.3m of historical debt during the
year, leaving a robust balance sheet and the financial capacity to pursue
further opportunities as we look to expand our copper operations in Zambia.

 

"In South Africa, we delivered on our strategy to maximise the processing of
historical tailings through our own operations. The Inyoni processing facility
refurbishment benefited from the scale of operations as best reflected in our
second half of FY2022 with earnings per PGM ounce increasing by 20% to
US$1 316 from the first half of FY2022. Despite almost completely
restructuring Inyoni, production of 41 456 PGM ounces was achieved in FY2022.

 

"Post year end a significant milestone was achieved in Zambia with our Roan
concentrator reaching nameplate capacity, following the successful
commissioning and ramp-up of the operations. Considering the operating context
which was marred by COVID-19 and supply chain disruptions, this was a
remarkable achievement.

 

"The fully integrated Southern Copper Refining Strategy is a significant step
for Jubilee as it diversifies and expands our footprint across commodities and
jurisdictions. As significant as our achievements in Zambia have already been,
we see the Southern Copper Refining Strategy as a mere demonstration of the
potential for a much greater footprint in the country in the years ahead.

 

"To each of Jubilee's employees, I say: We have been through a busy year and
your tireless efforts and long hours have not gone unnoticed. Both in South
Africa and Zambia, you have shown that "The Jubilee Way" is not just a set of
words, but something that you have all lived by over the past twelve months,
and this has yielded momentous results.

 

"The future holds tremendous potential growth for our Company as it benefits
from the foundation laid during the FY2022 period. I look forward to updating
shareholders on Jubilee's developments."

COMBINED FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

Period under review

 

·     Inyoni refurbishment completed on time and on budget from a single
feed facility to a multi-feed facility with a 45% increase in annual capacity
to 44 000 ounces

·     Project Roan reached nameplate production during September 2022 to
maintain its design throughput rate of 110 tonnes per hour needed to produce
the targeted copper concentrate for refining at the Sable Refinery

·     40% increase in tangible net asset value per share to 4.84 pence
for FY2022

·     Achieved stated targeted PGM production of 41 456 ounces (FY2021:
50 162 ounces), chrome 1 222 452 tonnes (FY2021: 727 264 tonnes) and
copper production of 2 604 tonnes (FY2021: 1 387 tonnes)

·     PGM unit cost of production reduced by 10% driven by increased PGM
operational footprint and increased contribution of chrome by-product credits

·     Group revenue for the year increased by 5.4% to £140 million
(US$186 million) (FY2021:                 £133 million
(US$179million)) mostly attributable to the increased PGM ounces produced at
Inyoni, higher chrome production and increased copper production from Zambia

·     Strong cash flows from operations with cash from operating
activities up 11%

·     Attributable operational earnings of £45 million (US$60 million)
(FY2021: £71 million (US$85 million)) with unit cash cost to produce a PGM
ounce reducing by 10% and the contribution of by-product credits increasing by
262% compared to the FY2021

·     Equity increased by 52% to £208 million maintaining a strong
equity ratio of 72%

·     Low gearing ratio of 3.6% compared to 7.7% for the comparative
period

·     Robust balance sheet after elimination of £5.3m of historical
debt

·     Positive net cash position with current assets covering total
liabilities by 131%

·     EBITDA £37 million (US$45 million) (FY2021: £52 million (US$70
million))

 

Post the period under review

 

·        Southern Copper Refining Strategy continues to deliver with
Project Roan reaching nameplate capacity following the successful
commissioning and ramp-up of the operations

·        Cobalt circuit brought on-line following Roan's ramp-up
completion expecting first cobalt production by end October 2022

 

 

Prospects for FY2023

 

South Africa

 

 

·      FY2023 offers strong potential for growth in earnings as it
benefits from the full exposure of our enlarged South African operations

·      The new enlarged PGM and chrome operations have set the platform
to deliver 44 000 PGM ounces and 1.2 million tonnes of chrome concentrate per
annum from Jubilee's own capacity. The PGM production benefits from the
increased efficiencies of this newly enlarged facility, which is significantly
subsidised by the increased chrome production as highlighted by the results
for the H2 six-month period

·      Management continues to progress discussions to secure a further
PGM processing footprint in the Eastern Limb of the Bushveld (north-eastern
region of South Africa's chrome and PGM mining region). We have already
secured significant tailings resources with further expansion opportunities in
the area. Jubilee is reviewing the option to either secure a decommissioned
PGM facility that will be repurposed by Jubilee, or to construct a new
facility in the region

·      The Company confirms its guidance of 44 000 PGM ounces from its
own production for FY2023

·      The softening of PGM prices has been buffered by supply
constraints with both palladium and rhodium maintaining elevated levels on a
historical level. We remain bullish on the PGM basket price with demand
expected to increase during 2023 driven by recovering car sales from pent-up
sales demand

·      Given our flexibility at the newly built Inyoni, coupled with our
multiple sources of feedstock, we do have the ability to react quickly and
prioritise feed of material that we know has a relatively higher content of a
certain PGM that is perhaps experiencing elevated pricing levels at a certain
time

 

 

Zambia

 

·      In Zambia, the Southern Copper Refining Strategy has adjusted its
copper target for the first half of FY 2022 to 3 000 tonnes owing to
persistent interruptions in the supply of water and electricity due to aging
infrastructure which impacts Roan's ability to sustain its throughput. As a
counter measure, the Company has secured an independent water supply license
which enables the Company to implement a dedicated water supply infrastructure

·      In addition to this, we look to complete the testing and
commissioning of the cobalt circuit on the back of the completed ramp-up of
Project Roan offering the potential for significant earnings contribution

·      And as significant as our achievements in Zambia have already
been, we see the Southern Copper Refining Strategy as a mere demonstration of
a much larger footprint in the country in the years ahead, given the vast
amount of potential feedstock, our expertise to extract the metals within
them, and the brownfield processing capacity that lies idle across the country

·      Copper had a very strong year, helping us achieve an average
price of US$9 295 per tonne in the period, compared with an average market
price of a little over US$8 000 in the prior 12 months. The price has softened
into the new year, we remain positive on the fundamentals of a metal that is
key to the electrification story going forward

4.            Segmental analysis

 

Following the strategic restructuring of Jubilee's business model management
presents the following segmental information:

·      PGM and Chrome - the processing of PGM and chrome containing
materials;

·      Copper and Cobalt - the processing of Copper and Cobalt
containing materials;

·      Other - administrative and corporate expenses

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.

facilities.

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

·      the trading price of metals; and

·      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 facilities, which
together with contracts with several high-profile customers strengthens the
Group's ability to meet its day-to-day working capital requirements and
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.
