Short-form announcement: Audited Results for the Year Ended 30 June 2023
Notice of Annual General Meeting (“AGM”)
Integrated Annual Report


Jubilee Metals Group PLC (AIM: JLP/Altx: JBL), a diversified leader in metals processing with operations
in Africa, is pleased to announce its audited results for the year ended 30 June 2023 (“FY2023”). Today,
Jubilee is also publishing its Integrated Annual Report.

Jubilee has delivered a strong operational performance which has assisted in buffering some of the
challenging market conditions, brought on by a fast-depreciating PGM basket price and infrastructural
challenges in both operating jurisdictions. The operational performance served to demonstrate
Jubilee’s ability to challenge industry norms by breaking through technical barriers and implementing
solutions that extract value from materials and ore sources that were previously regarded by others
as waste or too complex.

Key milestones and achievements for the year

•       Record production figures across our PGM, chrome and copper operations with 42 433 PGM oz
        (exceeding guidance and up 2% year-on-year) 1 289 890 chrome concentrate tonnes (up 7%)
        and 2 923 copper tonnes (up 29%).
•       Successfully implemented an investment programme of £36 million (FY2022: £58 million)
        equivalent to US$44 million (FY2022: US$70 million) to diversify and expand our operations in
        chrome, PGM, copper and cobalt.
•       Commissioned a state-of-the-art expanded PGM processing facility, designed to process PGM
        tailings and ores, previously regarded as waste. This versatile facility boasts an annual
        production capacity of 44 000 oz of PGMs.
•       Further expanded the chrome operational footprint through the implementation of a long-term
        chrome ROM offtake agreement offering increased chrome margins capable of offsetting the
        lower PGM margins.
•       In South Africa, to address the infrastructure challenges, we initiated the installation of backup
        power units at our chrome facilities and managed stock levels to ensure continuous operations.
•       In Zambia, we achieved significant advancements by formulating breakthrough process flow
        sheets for the treatment of mixed and transitional copper reefs as part of our 14 000 tonnes
        per annum Southern copper strategy. These breakthroughs form part of the process flowsheet
        upgrade at Roan currently underway.
•       The upgraded flowsheet offers significant lower capital expansion opportunities within Zambia.
•       The technical team is in the process of innovating a copper waste leach circuit for the treatment
        of copper and cobalt tailings, as part of our Northern Refining copper strategy. The development
        phase has commenced with upscaled continuous pilot runs to confirm the encouraging results
        achieved to date.
•       Effectively addressed the infrastructure issues associated with the new Roan Concentrator. A
        modern water infrastructure system was completed in December 2022, followed by an
        enhanced power infrastructure finalised in February 2023.


Financial highlights

•     Revenue from operations increased by 1% to £142 million (FY2022: £140 million) equating to
      US$171 million (FY2022: US$186 million) with growth in US$ chrome revenue predominately
      offsetting the market driven decrease in PGM revenue.
•     Gross profit was lower at £31 million (FY2022: £45 million) equivalent to US$38 million (FY2022:
      US$60 million) impacted mainly by:
      o     Lower average PGM basket prices year-on-year decreasing by 22% to US$1 262 (FY2022:
            US$1 615)
      o     Increase of 11% in US$ operating cost per PGM oz driven mainly by the increase in power
            and logistic costs
      o     Initial decrease during H1 FY2023 in chrome margins mainly due to power constraints
            which was addressed through the roll-out of back-up power systems
      o     Decrease in copper revenue per tonne of 19% to US$7 451 (FY2022: US$9 210)
      o     Continued expected growth of the chrome operations offering the potential to offset
            lower PGM margins
•     EBITDA decreased to £24.8 million (FY2022: £36.8million) or US$29.8 million (FY2022: US$48.9
      million).
•     Cash from operating activities was supported by increased contribution from operational
      expansions and remained strong at £31 million (FY2022: £35 million) equivalent to US$37
      million (FY2022:US$42 million).
•     The Group’s earnings per share decreased by 35% to 0.48 pence (FY2022: 0.73 pence), as a
      result of the weighted average number of shares increasing by 9% to 2 687.7 million shares
      (FY2022: 2 455.5 million shares) predominately due to the exercise of warrants during the
      financial year and earnings attributable to owners of the parent decreasing by 28% to £12.9
      million (FY2022: £18.0 million) or US$15.5 million (FY2022: US$24.0million).
•     Group cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2023 of £12.5million (FY2022: £16 million) or
      US$15.9 million (FY2022 US$19.5 million).
•     A robust net cash position supporting the Group’s current assets to cover total liabilities by
      103% (FY2022: 131%).
•     The Group’s equity reduced marginally to £205 million (FY2022: £207 million), predominately
      due to the profit after taxation off-set by the movement in the foreign currency translation
      reserve as a result of the weakening ZAR and ZMW against the pound during the period under
      review. The Group continues to maintain a strong equity ratio of 68% (FY2022: 71%).
•     Headline earnings per share from continuing operations of 0.46 pence (FY:2022: 0.70 pence).
