      ANNOUNCEMENT                                                                8 September 2022


                        EXTENSION OF THE CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT

MC Mining Limited (MC Mining or the Company) issued a cautionary announcement on 28 July 2022
noting the rise in its share price. Further to this announcement and further share price movements,
the Company announces an extension of the cautionary announcement.

As previously reported, the Company continues to advance the funding processes for the Makhado
hard coking coal project (Makhado or the Makhado Project) and targets to conclude this during Q4
CY2022. The funding is expected to include a combination of debt and equity issues by the Company.
The Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) completed by Minxcon (Pty) Ltd (Minxcon) and announced to the
market on 14 April 2022 was a key milestone in progressing such funding and the BFS development
plan was designed to minimise the upfront capital expenditure. As announced on 30 August 2022, to
enhance value, Minxcon undertook a pre-feasibility study that, amongst others, included the potential
construction of a coal processing plant (CPP) at the Makhado Project. The construction of a CPP at
Makhado allows for alternative development opportunities at the Vele Colliery, currently on care and
maintenance, which the Company is also investigating.

Should any of the various processes outlined above be pursued and concluded, it may have a material
effect on the price of the Company’s securities and further announcements will be made in due
course, as appropriate. Shareholders should note that there can be no certainty of any such initiatives
ultimately being secured. Accordingly, shareholders are advised to exercise caution when dealing in
their MC Mining securities until further announcements are made.
On 8 September 2022 the Company announced a trading halt on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX)
and expects to make a further announcement by Monday, 12 September 2022, whereupon it will
apply for its shares to recommence trading on the ASX. The Company's ordinary shares will continue
to trade on the and Johannesburg Stock Exchange and AIM market of the London Stock Exchange plc.
