Notes:
1 Normalised headline earnings per share is calculated in a consistent manner as per the latest annual financial statements, by dividing
   normalised headline earnings by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.
      Normalised headline earnings is defined as headline earnings excluding (i) metal price lag and (ii) material non-trading expense or income
      items which, due to their irregular occurrence, are adjusted for in order to better present earnings attributable to the ongoing activities of
      the Group. The presentation of normalised headline earnings is not an IFRS requirement and may not be directly comparable with the same
      or similar measures disclosed by other companies.

2     Hulamin revised the nature of costs capitalised to inventory at December 2021, which resulted in a restatement of previously reported results.
      As such the previously reported interim results have been restated.

The results for the six months ended 30 June 2022 are scheduled to be released on Monday, 29 August 2022 at
07h15 with a management presentation to stakeholders to follow at 10h00.

The financial information contained in this trading statement is the responsibility of the directors and has not been
reviewed nor reported on by the Company’s external auditors.
