Tharisa, the platinum group metals ('PGMs') and chrome co-producer dual-listed

A mechanic at the Tharisa Minerals mining operation for over 11 years, Raymond

Despite heroic efforts by colleagues, medical personnel on site and in the
hospital, Raymond succumbed to his injuries during the night of 21 October
2022.

The Tharisa family extends their deepest condolences to the family and
colleagues of the deceased. Tharisa has and will continue to provide all
