                                          VOLUNTARY PRODUCTION UPDATE

Northam is pleased to report a 13.0% increase in total equivalent refined metal production from own operations, and a
19.5% increase in total production (including purchased material), for the 30 June 2023 financial year (F2023), compared
to the 30 June 2022 financial year (F2022). A key feature for F2023 has been the strong production performance and
contribution from all our operations.

Key production metrics for F2023 compared to F2022 are as follows:


                                                                                F2023            F2022

Significant production growth has been achieved during F2023 as a result of focussed execution of the group’s growth
strategy, which continues to deliver against set targets. Challenges remain, particularly in respect of high mining inflation
and the potential for further and possibly more severe Eskom load curtailment events. However, our growth and operational
diversification programmes remain on-track and continue to demonstrate the value of our counter cyclical investments and
execution capacity across the group, as well as our flexibility in dealing with these challenges.
