FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE
The Group’s Mining business has been the main contributor to Group earnings for the last decade. This business features
excellent assets, retains its position as a leading mining services provider in Africa and the Americas and is expected to
continue to sustainably deliver meaningful earnings into the future. Following the loss of RUC as part of the voluntary
administration of the Group’s companies in Australia in December 2022, it remains the Group’s intention to capacitate
Cementation APAC to service the Asia-Pacific mining region, post completion of the refinancing of its debt in South Africa.
South Africa’s constrained energy, transmission and distribution infrastructure requires urgent investment to support
additional capacity, which presents longer-term prospects for OptiPower.
The Group is focused on implementing a sustainable and stable capital structure and to establish new facilities with financial
institutions to support its business in South Africa – these initiatives are all progressing well. It is committed to creating
shareholder value from the current low base and to ensure that Murray & Roberts excels as an engineering and contracting
services provider to the global underground mining market and its chosen market sectors in Southern Africa.
Any forward‑looking information contained in this announcement has not been reviewed and reported on by the Group’s
