About Tharisa

Tharisa is an integrated resource group critical to the energy transition and
decarbonisation of economies. It incorporates exploration, mining, processing
and the beneficiation, marketing, sales, and logistics of PGMs and chrome
concentrates, using innovation and technology as enablers. Its principal
operating asset is the multi-generational Tharisa Mine, located in the
south-western limb of the Bushveld Complex, South Africa. Tharisa is also
developing the Karo Platinum Project, a low-cost, open-pit PGM asset located
on the Great Dyke in Zimbabwe, while simultaneously focusing on beneficiation
in the form of chrome and PGM alloys. A 15-year Power Purchase Agreement with
Etana for the procurement of wheeled renewable energy and a 40 MW solar
project under construction will ensure that Tharisa Minerals' drive to reduce
its carbon footprint by 30% by 2030 is well within reach, forming a major part
of a roadmap to become net carbon neutral by 2050. Redox One is accelerating
the development of a proprietary iron chromium redox flow long-duration
battery utilising the commodities we mine. Tharisa plc is listed on the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE: THA) and the Main Board of the London Stock
Exchange (LSE: THS).
