       ANNOUNCEMENT                                                             24 January 2024

               UPDATE ON TIMING OF REVISED NON-BINDING AND INDICATIVE PROPOSAL –
                                  REITERATE: TAKE NO ACTION

MC Mining Limited (MC Mining or the Company) refers to the Company's previous announcements
regarding the receipt of a revised non-binding and indicative takeover offer (Takeover Offer) from
Senosi Group Investment Holdings Proprietary Limited and Dendocept Proprietary Limited on behalf
of shareholders who represent, in aggregate, 64.3%1 of the issued capital in the Company (together,
the Consortium).

As referred to in the Company's announcement made on 22 December 2023, the Consortium
indicated that a Bidder's Statement was expected to be lodged in the first week of January 2024 and
mailed to MC Mining shareholders in the last week of January 2024.

On 23 January 2024 the Company received correspondence from the Consortium advising that the
Consortium's previous indicative timetable for lodgement of a Bidder's Statement had been delayed.
The Consortium did not provide a revised timetable but did reconfirm its intention to make a takeover
offer.
At this stage, neither the Company nor the Independent Board Committee (IBC) are able to provide
any further guidance on the expected timing of the receipt of the Bidders Statement.

The IBC reiterates its recommendation that MC Mining shareholders TAKE NO ACTION in relation to
the Takeover Offer (which, at this stage, remains non-binding and indicative only) pending a full review
of the Bidder's Statement (when received) and a recommendation from the IBC which will be
contained in the Company's Target Statement.



Khomotso Mosehla
Chairman of the IBC

This announcement has been approved for release by the Company’s Disclosure Committee.
1 As at the date of this announcement, Senosi Group Investment Holdings Proprietary Limited holds 23.4% and Dendocept Proprietary
Limited holds 6.9% of the current issued capital of the Company.
