PRODUCTION REPORT FOR THE THIRD QUARTER ENDING 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

Overview - Q3 2025 performance vs. prior period Q3 2024

 

•  Safety performance - We tragically recorded one work-related fatality at
Amandelbult's Dishaba Mine in July 2025. The total recordable injury frequency
rate (TRIFR) improved 7% to 1.53 per million hours at own operations, down
from 1.57 per million hours compared to the prior period.

 

•  Successful ramp up of Amandelbult - Tumela Lower section of Amandelbult
Mine has successfully ramped up to steady state production ahead of schedule,
marking the completion of Amandelbult's recovery to full production following
the February 2025 flooding. Full year production guidance at Amandelbult of
450,000-480,000 Platinum Group Metals (PGM) ounces remains intact.

 

•  Own-managed mines PGM production (expressed as 5E+Au
metal-in-concentrate (M&C)) decreased by 2% to 539,600 ounces due to lower
production from Mototolo, Amandelbult and Unki, partially offset by higher
production at Mogalakwena.

 

•  Purchase of PGM concentrate (POC) of 315,500((1)) ounces was in line
with prior period.

 

•  Refined PGM production (excluding tolling) decreased by 5%((1)) to
981,500 ounces due to lower M&C production and a larger drawdown of excess
work-in-progress inventory in the prior period.

 

•  PGM sales volumes decreased by 9%((1)) to 936,800 ounces, marginally
below refined production volumes due to the timing difference in sales
recognition, with some sales volumes rolling into October.

 

•  Guidance for 2025 - We remain on track to deliver M&C production of
3.0-3.2 million ounces. 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 and sales volumes guidance is expected at ~3.4 million PGM
ounces due to sustained improvements in stability and reliability of the
processing infrastructure following the completion of scheduled maintenance
and stock counts; and the continued release of work-in-progress inventory.

 

((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.

 

Craig Miller, CEO of Valterra Platinum, said:

"In August we launched our company values which are the foundation of our
business and on 27 October, we observed our first annual Keep It Safe Day as
Valterra Platinum, a milestone in our journey to build a culture where safety,
respect and wellbeing are at the heart of everything we do. Teams across South
Africa, Zimbabwe, China, the UK and Singapore paused to reflect on our safety
journey and reaffirmed our commitment to ensuring that everyone returns home
safely each day. Despite the improvement in our TRIFR, we regret the loss of
our valued colleague, Mr. William Nkenke, a mining team supervisor at
Amandelbult's Dishaba Mine, in July. We extend our deepest condolences to the
family, friends, and team members of Mr. Nkenke. We have conducted a thorough
review of the incident, identified the root causes, and implemented the
necessary measures to prevent recurrence.

"It is pleasing to see the continued recovery in our quarterly M&C
production volumes following the significant weather-related incidents
impacting several of our assets earlier in the year, the most severe of which
was the flooding at Amandelbult. Recovery efforts at Amandelbult have
progressed well, with Tumela Lower achieving steady-state production volumes
ahead of schedule and we maintain our full year guidance for Amandelbult of
450,000-480,000 PGM ounces. Total M&C production for 2025 is expected to
be ~3.0-3.2 million ounces. We have however, identified opportunities to
optimise our work-in-progress inventory, which - combined with the benefits of
our stable and efficient processing assets - will allow us to supplement
M&C production, resulting in expected refined production and sales volumes
of ~3.4 million ounces."

REVIEW OF THE QUARTER

Safety

Regrettably, a fatal incident occurred at Amandelbult's Dishaba Mine on 22
July 2025, involving Mr. William Nkenke, who tragically lost his life in a
grout pack 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 preventative measures have been implemented.

The Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) improved to 1.53 per
million hours worked at own-managed operations, down from 1.57 in the prior
period, reflecting continued progress in safety performance.

 

Total M&C PGM production

Total PGM production in Q3 2025 declined 7% to 855,100 ounces compared to the
prior period primarily due to Kroondal's transition to a 4E tolling
arrangement from September 2024. On a like-for-like basis, where prior periods
are restated to exclude Kroondal from purchase of concentrate volume, total
PGM production decreased by 1%.

 

PGM production from own mines

Own mine production declined 2% compared to the prior period, mainly due to
lower production from Mototolo, Amandelbult and Unki, partially offset by
higher production at Mogalakwena. Quarter-on-quarter production increased by
16%, driven by Amandelbult's ramp up to steady-state operations.

Mogalakwena increased PGM production by 4% to 225,700 ounces, driven by higher
concentrator throughput, albeit at a marginally lower built-up head grade due
to the blending of a greater proportion of lower-grade stockpiled material.
 In Q4, the grade fed to the plant is expected to improve as higher-grade
material becomes accessible in the pit, in line with the planned mining
sequence. Operational improvements at the North concentrator and reduced mass
pull from the newly commissioned Jameson cells reflect continued progress in
operational excellence.

Amandelbult production showed a significant recovery in the third quarter,
with Tumela Mine ramping up to steady-state operations, which underpinned a
118% quarter-on-quarter increase in production. However, PGM production at
Amandelbult declined 3% to 153,100 ounces compared to the prior period, due to
marginally lower tonnes milled and a slight reduction in head grade. The mine
remains on track to deliver between 450,000 and 480,000 PGM ounces for the
year.

Mototolo's PGM production declined by 11% to 66,200 ounces, mainly due to
lower tonnes milled and reduced grades. Production was impacted by anticipated
complex geological features encountered at both Borwa and Lebowa shafts, which
temporarily affected crew efficiencies and mining grades. Development at Der
Brochen continues to progress steadily, with all development ends successfully
intersecting the reef after navigating the weathered slow sink zone.

Unki's production declined by 8% to 57,500 PGM ounces mainly due to the
expected lower grades in the current mining area.

Modikwa PGM production (50% own-mined) decreased by 7% to 37,000 ounces,
primarily due to lower concentrator recoveries following the introduction of
open pit material, which replaced the volumes from South 1 shaft
infrastructure that was closed in the first half of the year.

 

Purchases of PGM concentrate

Purchase of concentrate volumes decreased by 15% to 315,500 ounces primarily
due to Kroondal's transition to a 4E tolling arrangement from September 2024.
Adjusting the comparable period for Kroondal volumes, POC was in line with
prior period.

 

Refined PGM production

Refined production (excluding tolling) decreased by 11% to 981,500 ounces
compared to Q3 2024. This was mainly due to a larger drawdown of
work-in-progress inventory in the prior period, and the transition of Kroondal
volumes from POC to tolling, which were included in the prior year's refined
production.

 

Adjusting for Kroondal, the decline was 5%. Refined output exceeded M&C
mined and purchased, on the back of a solid processing performance due to
sustained improvements in stability and reliability of the processing
infrastructure that facilitated the release of work-in-progress inventory.

Toll-refined PGM production increased by 40% to 215,700 PGM ounces.
Normalising the comparative period to include Kroondal as tolling volumes,
implies a 4% reduction as a result of lower volumes received from third
parties.

 

Base metal and chrome production

Nickel production decreased by 15% to 6,226 tonnes and copper production
decreased by 9% to 4,201 tonnes, as the prior period included a larger release
of work-in-progress inventory.

Total chrome production increased by 10% to 271,000 tonnes, mainly due to
higher chrome production at Mototolo and improvements in chrome yields across
our own operations.

 

PGM sales volumes

PGM sales volumes decreased by 15% to 936,800 ounces, marginally below refined
production volumes due to the timing difference in sales recognition, with
some sales volumes rolling into October. Excluding Kroondal volumes from the
comparable period, sales volumes declined by 9%.

The average Q3 2025 realised basket price was $1,916/PGM ounce, the highest
since Q1 2023 and up 30% year-on-year. Much of this gain came between Q2 and
Q3, with a 27% quarter-on-quarter increase in Q3, driven by broad price gains
for all PGMs since May. The rally reflects a confluence of bullish macro-,
micro- and sectoral drivers, including a weaker US dollar, resilient economic
growth, robust precious metal investment amid rising inflationary fears and
heightened geopolitical tensions, buoyant Chinese demand and concerns over
metal availability in key trading centres.

 

2025 guidance

We remain on track to deliver M&C production of 3.0-3.2 million ounces.
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 and
sales volumes guidance is expected to be ~3.4 million PGM ounces.
