Dear Sir or Madam
Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc (the Company)
Registration of securities under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities
Act)
We have acted as the Company's Jersey legal advisers in connection with
the controlled equity offering (the Offering) of common shares in the Company (the Offered Securities) having an aggregate
issue price of up to $50,000,000 (the Maximum Amount) from time to time pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement and the Sales Agreement.
The Company has asked us to provide this opinion in connection with the
Offering.
| (a) | For the purposes of this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the following documents: |
| (i) | a sales agreement dated December 16, 2024 (the Sales Agreement) relating to the
Offering; |
| (ii) | a registration statement on Form F-3 which was declared effective by the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (the SEC) on August 22, 2024 (File No. 333-281436) (the Registration Statement) relating to the registration
of common shares in the Company under the Securities Act; |
| (iii) | a prospectus supplement dated December 17, 2024 (the Prospectus Supplement and, together with
the Registration Statement, the Prospectus) relating to the Offering; |
| (iv) | the Company's certificate of continuance and memorandum and articles of association (the Constitutional
Documents); and |
| (v) | the Company's consent to issue shares dated January 1, 2017 issued to the Company by the Jersey Financial
Services Commission under the Control of Borrowing (Jersey) Order 1958, the Company's consent to circulate the Prospectus Supplement issued
to the Company by the Jersey Registrar of Companies under the Companies (General Provisions) (Jersey) Order 2002 and the Company's business
licence issued to it under the Control of Housing and Work (Jersey) Law 2012 (together, the Consents). |
| (b) | In this opinion, non-assessable means, in relation to any Security, that the purchase price for
which the Company agreed to issue that Security has been paid in full to the Company, so that no further sum is payable to the Company
by any holder of that Security in respect of the purchase price of that Security. |
For the purposes of giving this opinion we have assumed:
| (a) | the authenticity, accuracy, completeness and conformity to original documents of all copy documents and
certificates of officers or the secretary of the Company examined by us; |
| (b) | the Sales Agreement is and will remain legal, valid, binding and enforceable as a matter of all applicable
laws, and the terms of the Sales Agreement will be complied with in full; |
| (c) | neither the Sales Agreement, nor the performance by any party of its obligations thereunder, will: (A)
violate any applicable law, regulation, listing rules or other regulatory requirements or similar applicable to the Company; (B) result
in a default under, or breach of, any other agreement or instrument binding upon that party (including, in the case of the Company, the
Constitutional Documents); (C) result in a default under, or breach of, any approvals, authorisations, consents, licences or registrations
issued to that party by any court or governmental agency (including the Consents); or (D) breach any resolutions passed by the Company; |
| (d) | that in approving the Company's entry into the Sales Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby
or by the Prospectus, the directors of the Company will be acting in the best interests of, and for a proper purpose of, the Company; |
| (e) | that the Company will not be carrying on unauthorised financial service business (as defined in the Financial
Services (Jersey) Law 1998) and that at the time of the offer for, and issuance of, any of the Offered Securities, the Company will have
obtained or made all necessary agreements, approvals, authorisations, consents, filings, licences, registrations and qualifications (whether
as a matter of any law or regulation applicable to it or as a matter of any agreement binding on it), including under the Control of Borrowing
(Jersey) Order 1958, the Companies (General Provisions) (Jersey) Order 2002, the Control of Housing and Work (Jersey) Law 2012 and the
Financial Services (Disclosure and Provision of Information) (Jersey) Law 2020, and the Company will have complied in full with the provisions
of those statutes and any agreements, approvals, authorisations, consents, filings, licences, registrations and qualifications obtained
or made by the Company (including the Consents); |
| (f) | that the Company has not been and is not insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they fall due and will
not become insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they fall due or bankrupt (as defined in Article 8 of the Interpretation (Jersey) Law
1954) as a result of its entry into the Sales Agreement or any transaction contemplated by the Sales Agreement or the Prospectus; |
| (g) | that the Company will remain incorporated, and in good standing, under Jersey law, and no steps have been
or will be taken, or applications made by any creditor of the Company, and no steps have been or will be taken or resolutions passed,
to wind up or dissolve the Company or declare it bankrupt; |
| (h) | that no action will be taken by any person to block or otherwise prevent the issue of any Offered Securities; |
| (i) | that there is no provision of any law (other than Jersey law) that would affect anything in this opinion;
and |
| (j) | that no event occurs after the date hereof which would affect the opinions herein stated. |
As a matter of Jersey law, and based on,
and subject to, the foregoing and the qualifications mentioned below, assuming:
| (a) | the Company and the directors of the Company take all necessary corporate and other action (including,
if required, obtaining shareholder approval to any amendments to the Constitutional Documents) to permit, authorize and approve: (A) the
creation and issue of any Offered Securities; (B) the issue and circulation of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus Supplement and
any other prospectus supplement in respect of the Offering; (C) the terms of the Offering; and (D) the terms of the Sales Agreement (the
Authorizing Resolutions); |
| (b) | each party to the Sales Agreement enters into, and performs its obligations under, the Sales Agreement; |
| (c) | the Registration Statement, the Prospectus Supplement and any other prospectus supplement in respect of
the Offering is circulated and filed by the Company in compliance with: (A) the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations
thereunder; (B) Jersey law (including the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 and the Companies (General Provisions) (Jersey) Order 2002, and
the applicable rules and regulations thereunder); |
| (d) | the Company receives in full the consideration due to it for the Offered Securities in accordance with
the terms of the Sales Agreement and the terms of the Authorizing Resolutions; |
| (e) | the Offered Securities issued do not exceed the Maximum Amount; and |
| (f) | the issue of each Offered Security is recorded in the Company's register of members in compliance with
the provisions of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991, the Constitutional Documents and the Sales Agreement, |
we are of the opinion that such Offered Securities
will, once issued, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
This opinion is limited to matters of, and
is interpreted in accordance with, Jersey law as at the date of this opinion. We express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other
jurisdiction. We assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances which may come to our
attention, or any changes in law which may occur, after the date of this opinion.
| (a) | This opinion is addressed to the Company in connection with the Offering. |
| (b) | We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Form 6-K to be filed with the SEC by the
Company in connection with the Offering and to the reference to us being made in the paragraph of the Prospectus Supplement headed "LEGAL

Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc

St Helier Jersey, United Kingdom
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc, a corporation
incorporated under the laws of Jersey (the “Company”), in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement
on Form F-3 (File No. 333-281436) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the prospectus supplement dated as of December 17,
2024 (together with the Registration Statement, the “Prospectus”). The Prospectus relates to the offer and sale (the
“Offering”) by the Company of an aggregate of up to US$50,000,000 of common shares of the Company (the “Common
Shares”).
For purposes of this opinion, we have reviewed originals, or copies certified
or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Prospectus and the exhibits thereto and such other documents and matters of law and
fact as we have considered necessary or appropriate. In addition, we have not made an independent investigation or audit of the facts
set forth in the above referenced documents or otherwise provided to us. We have assumed (i) the authenticity of all documents submitted
to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, (ii) that the Offering will be
consummated as described in the Prospectus; (iii) that the statements concerning the terms of the Offering set forth in the Prospectus
are true, complete and correct and will remain true, complete and correct at all relevant times; and (iv) that any such statements made
in the Prospectus qualified by knowledge, intention, belief or any other similar qualification are true, complete and correct, and will
remain true, complete and correct at all relevant times, in each case as if made without such qualification. We also have relied on certain
written representations of the Company contained in an Officer’s Certificate dated on or about the date hereof. If any of the above-described
assumptions are untrue for any reason, or if the Offering is consummated in a manner that is different from the manner described in the
Prospectus, our opinion as expressed below may be adversely affected.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and our consideration of such other
matters of fact and law as we have considered necessary or appropriate, we hereby confirm to you that the statements set forth under the
caption “CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS” in the Prospectus, to the extent such statements summarize
U.S. federal income tax law, and subject to the limitations, qualifications, exceptions, and assumptions set forth herein and therein,
constitute our opinion as to the material United States federal income tax consequences of the Offering to U.S. Holders (as defined in
the Prospectus) of Common Shares. We express no opinion on any issue relating to the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated
by the Prospectus other than the opinion set forth above. Our opinion set forth above is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative pronouncements and judicial precedents, all as of the date hereof.
The foregoing authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified, and any such change may have retroactive effect. Any change in applicable
laws or facts and circumstances surrounding the Offering, or any inaccuracy in the statements, facts, assumptions and representations
on which we have relied may affect the validity of the opinion set forth herein. We assume no responsibility to inform the Company of
any such change or inaccuracy that may occur or come to our attention.
Our opinion is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or a court. There
can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not take a contrary position or that a court would agree with our opinion if
litigated.

Common Shares

Controlled Equity Offering
Sales Agreement
December 16, 2024
Cantor Fitzgerald & Co.
499 Park Avenue
New York, NY 10022
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc, a Jersey, Channel
Islands company (the “Company”), confirms its agreement (this “Agreement”) with Cantor
Fitzgerald & Co. (the “Agent”), as follows:
1.
Issuance and Sale of Shares. The Company agrees that, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, it may issue and sell through the Agent, common shares (the “Placement
Shares”) of the Company, no par value (the “Common Shares”); provided, however,
that in no event shall the Company issue or sell through the Agent such number or dollar amount of Placement Shares that would (a) exceed
the number or dollar amount of Common Shares registered on the effective Registration Statement (as defined below) pursuant to which the
offering is being made, (b) exceed the number of authorized but unissued Common Shares (less Common Shares issuable upon exercise, conversion
or exchange of any outstanding securities of the Company or otherwise reserved from the Company’s authorized capital stock), (c)
exceed the number or dollar amount of Common Shares permitted to be sold under Form F-3 (including General Instruction I.B.5 thereof,
if applicable) or (d) exceed the number or dollar amount of Common Shares for which the Company has filed a Prospectus Supplement (defined
below) (the lesser of (a), (b), (c) and (d), the “Maximum Amount”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the parties hereto agree that compliance with the limitations set forth in this Section 1 on the amount of Placement
Shares issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Company and that the Agent shall have no obligation
in connection with such compliance. The offer and sale of Placement Shares through the Agent will be effected pursuant to the Registration
Statement filed by the Company and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
on August 22, 2024, although nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Company to use the Registration Statement to
issue Common Shares.
The Company has filed, in accordance with the provisions
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the rules and regulations thereunder (the
“Securities Act Regulations”), with the Commission a registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-281436),
including a base prospectus, relating to certain securities, including the Placement Shares to be issued from time to time by the Company,
and which incorporates by reference documents that the Company has filed or will file in accordance with the provisions of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Company
has prepared a prospectus or a prospectus supplement to the base prospectus included as part of the registration statement, which prospectus
or prospectus supplement relates to the Placement Shares to be issued from time to time by the Company (the “Prospectus Supplement”).
The Company will furnish to the Agent, for use by the Agent, copies of the prospectus included as part of such registration statement,
as supplemented, by the Prospectus Supplement, relating to the Placement Shares to be issued from time to time by the Company. Except
where the context otherwise requires, such registration statement(s), including all documents filed as part thereof or incorporated by
reference therein, and including any information contained in a Prospectus (as defined below) subsequently filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act Regulations or deemed to be a part of such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B of the
Securities Act Regulations, and any one or more additional effective registration statements on Form F-3 from time to time that will contain
a base prospectus and related prospectus or prospectus supplement, if applicable (which shall be a Prospectus Supplement), with respect
to the Placement Shares, is herein called the “Registration Statement.” The base prospectus or base prospectuses,
including all documents incorporated therein by reference, included in the Registration Statement, as it may be supplemented, if necessary,
by the Prospectus Supplement, in the form in which such prospectus or prospectuses and/or Prospectus Supplement have most recently been
filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act Regulations, together with the then issued Issuer
Free Writing Prospectus(es) (as defined below), is herein called the “Prospectus.”
Any reference herein to the Registration Statement,
any Prospectus Supplement, Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents, if
any, incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”), including, unless the context otherwise
requires, the documents, if any, filed as exhibits to such Incorporated Documents. Any reference herein to the terms “amend,”
“amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, any Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus
or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act on or
after the most-recent effective date of the Registration Statement, or the date of the Prospectus Supplement, Prospectus or such Issuer
Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, and incorporated therein by reference. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to
the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or to any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include the most recent copy filed
with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval system, or if applicable, the Interactive Data Electronic
Application system when used by the Commission (collectively, “EDGAR”).
Each of the Company and Agent hereby agrees and acknowledges
that all sales and solicitations of sales of Placement Shares by Agent shall be made solely in the United States and no sales or solicitations
of sales of Placement Shares by Agent shall be done in Canada or any other foreign jurisdiction.
2.
Placements. Each time that the Company wishes to issue and sell Placement Shares hereunder (each, a “Placement”),
it will notify the Agent by email notice (or other method mutually agreed to by the parties) of the number of Placement Shares to be issued,
the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of Placement Shares that may be sold in any
Trading Day (as defined below) and any minimum price below which sales may not be made (a “Placement Notice”),
the form of which is attached hereto as Schedule 1. The Placement Notice shall originate from any of the individuals from the Company
set forth on Schedule 3 (with a copy to each of the other individuals from the Company listed on such schedule), and shall be addressed
to each of the individuals from the Agent set forth on Schedule 3, as such Schedule 3 may be amended from time to time by
notice in writing by the Company (with respect to the individuals from the Company) or the Agent (with respect to the individuals from
the Agent). The Placement Notice shall be effective unless and until (i) the Agent declines in writing to accept the terms contained therein
for any reason, in its sole discretion, which declination must occur within two (2) Business Days of the receipt of the Placement Notice
(ii) the entire amount of the Placement Shares thereunder have been sold and settled in accordance with the terms hereof, (iii) the Company
suspends or terminates the Placement Notice, in accordance with Section 4, (iv) the Company issues a subsequent Placement Notice
with parameters superseding those on the earlier dated Placement Notice, or (v) this Agreement has been terminated under the provisions
of Section 12. The amount of any discount, commission or other compensation to be paid by the Company to Agent in connection with
the sale of the Placement Shares shall be calculated in accordance with the terms set forth in Schedule 2. It is expressly acknowledged
and agreed that neither the Company nor the Agent will have any obligation whatsoever with respect to a Placement or any Placement Shares
unless and until the Company delivers a Placement Notice to the Agent and the Agent does not decline such Placement Notice pursuant to
the terms set forth above, and then only upon the terms specified therein and herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of
this Agreement and the terms of a Placement Notice, the terms of the Placement Notice will control.
3.
Sale of Placement Shares by the Agent. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(a), the Agent, for the period
specified in the Placement Notice, will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices
and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of the NYSE American, LLC (the “Exchange”),
to sell the Placement Shares on the Exchange or any other existing nationally recognized trading market for the Common Shares in the United
States up to the amount specified, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice. The Agent will provide written
confirmation to the Company to each of the individuals set forth on Schedule 3 no later than the opening of the Trading Day immediately
following the Trading Day on which it has made sales of Placement Shares hereunder setting forth the number of Placement Shares sold on
such day, the compensation payable by the Company to the Agent pursuant to Section 2 with respect to such sales, and the Net Proceeds
(as defined below) payable to the Company, with an itemization of the deductions made by the Agent (as set forth in Section 5(b))
from the gross proceeds that it receives from such sales. Subject to the terms of the Placement Notice, the Agent may sell Placement Shares
by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act
Regulations, including sales made directly on or through the Exchange or any other existing trading market for the Common Shares in the
United States, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market
prices and/or any other method permitted by law and in compliance with all applicable laws. “Trading Day” means
any day on which Common Shares are traded on the Exchange.
4.
Suspension of Sales. The Company or the Agent may, upon notice to the other party in writing (including by email
correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 3, if receipt of such correspondence is actually
acknowledged by any of the individuals to whom the notice is sent, other than via auto-reply) or by telephone (confirmed immediately by
verifiable email correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 3), suspend any sale of Placement
Shares (a “Suspension”); provided, however, that such Suspension shall not affect or impair any
party’s obligations with respect to any Placement Shares sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice. While a Suspension
is in effect any obligation under Sections 7(l), 7(m), 7(n), 7(o), 7(p) and 7(q) with respect
to the delivery of certificates, opinions, or comfort letters to the Agent, shall be waived. Each of the parties agrees that no such notice
under this Section 4 shall be effective against any other party unless it is made to one of the individuals named on Schedule
3 hereto, as such Schedule may be amended from time to time. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, during any period
in which the Company is in possession of material non-public information, the Company and the Agent (to the extent the Agent is aware
that the Company is in possession of such information) agree that (i) no sales of Placement Shares will take place, (ii) the Company shall
not request the sale of any Placement Shares, and (iii) the Agent shall not be obligated to sell or offer any Placement Shares.
5.
Sale and Delivery to the Agent; Settlement.
(a)
Sale of Placement Shares. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the
terms and conditions herein set forth, upon the Agent’s acceptance of the terms of a Placement Notice, and unless the sale of the
Placement Shares described therein has been declined, suspended, or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
the Agent, for the period specified in the Placement Notice, will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading
and sales practices, applicable law and regulations and the rules of the Exchange to sell such Placement Shares up to the amount specified,
and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance
that the Agent will be successful in selling Placement Shares, (ii) the Agent will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or
any other person or entity if it does not sell Placement Shares for any reason other than a failure by the Agent to use its commercially
reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, applicable law and regulations and the rules of the Exchange
to sell such Placement Shares as required under this Agreement and (iii) the Agent shall be under no obligation to purchase Placement
Shares on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement, except as otherwise agreed by the Agent and the Company.
(b)
Settlement of Placement Shares. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Placement Notice, settlement for sales of Placement
Shares will occur on the first (1st) Trading Day (or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date
on which notification is received by the Company from the Agent of such sales being made (each, a “Settlement Date”).
The Agent shall notify the Company of each sale of Placement Shares no later than the opening of the Trading Day immediately following
the Trading Day on which it has made sales of Placement Shares hereunder. The amount of proceeds to be delivered to the Company on a Settlement
Date against receipt of the Placement Shares sold (the “Net Proceeds”) will be equal to the aggregate sales
price received by the Agent, after deduction for (i) the Agent’s commission, discount or other compensation for such sales payable
by the Company pursuant to Section 2 hereof, and (ii) any transaction fees imposed by any Governmental Authority in respect of
such sales.
(c)
Delivery of Placement Shares. On or before each Settlement Date, the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to,
electronically transfer the Placement Shares being sold by crediting the Agent’s or its designee’s account (provided the Agent
shall have given the Company written notice of such designee at least two (2) Trading Days prior to the Settlement Date) at The Depository
Trust Company through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon
by the parties hereto which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form. On each Settlement
Date, the Agent will deliver the related Net Proceeds in same day funds to an account designated by the Company on, or prior to, the Settlement
Date. The Company agrees that if the Company, or its transfer agent (if applicable), defaults in its obligation to deliver Placement Shares
on a Settlement Date, the Company agrees that in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Section
10(a) hereto, it will (i) hold the Agent harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees and
expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company or its transfer agent (if applicable) and (ii)
pay to the Agent any commission, discount, or other compensation to which it would otherwise have been entitled absent such default.
(d)
Denominations; Registration. Certificates for the Placement Shares, if any, shall be in such denominations and registered
in such names as the Agent may request in writing at least two (2) full Business Days (as defined below) before the Settlement Date. The
certificates for the Placement Shares, if any, will be made available by the Company for examination and packaging by the Agent in The
City of New York not later than noon (New York time) on the Business Day prior to the Settlement Date.
(e)
Limitations on Offering Size. Under no circumstances shall the Company cause or request the offer or sale of any
Placement Shares if, after giving effect to the sale of such Placement Shares, the aggregate gross sales proceeds of Placement Shares
sold pursuant to this Agreement would exceed the lesser of (A) together with all sales of Placement Shares under this Agreement, the Maximum
Amount and (B) the amount authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement by the Company’s board of directors,
a duly authorized committee thereof or a duly authorized executive committee, and notified to the Agent in writing. Under no circumstances
shall the Company cause or request the offer or sale of any Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement at a price lower than the minimum
price authorized by the Exchange and, from time to time, by the Company’s board of directors, a duly authorized committee thereof
or a duly authorized executive committee. Further, under no circumstances shall the Company cause or permit the aggregate offering amount
of Placement Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement to exceed the Maximum Amount.
6.
Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Agent
that as of the date of this Agreement and as of each Applicable Time (as defined below):
(a)
Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Company and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement meet the requirements
for and comply with the applicable conditions set forth in Form F-3 (including General Instructions I.A and I.B) under the Securities
Act. The Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission and has been declared effective by the Commission under the Securities
Act prior to the issuance of any Placement Notices by the Company. As of each Applicable Time, the Registration Statement is effective.
The Prospectus Supplement will name the Agent as the agent in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution”. The Company has
not received, and has no notice of, any order of the Commission preventing or suspending the use of the Registration Statement, or threatening
or instituting proceedings for that purpose. The Registration Statement and the offer and sale of Placement Shares as contemplated hereby
meet the requirements of Rule 415 under the Securities Act and comply in all material respects with said Rule. Any statutes, regulations,
contracts or other documents that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits
to the Registration Statement have been so described or filed. Copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, and any such amendments
or supplements and all Incorporated Documents that were filed with the Commission on or prior to the date of this Agreement have been
delivered, or are available through EDGAR, to the Agent and its counsel.
The Company has not distributed and, prior to the later to occur
of each Settlement Date and completion of the distribution of the Placement Shares, will not distribute any offering material in connection
with the offering or sale of the Placement Shares other than the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus to which the Agent has consented, any such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Common Shares
are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are currently listed on the Exchange under the trading symbol “CMCL”.
The Company has taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Shares under
the Exchange Act, delisting the Common Shares from the Exchange, nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission or
the Exchange is contemplating terminating such registration or listing. To the Company’s knowledge, it is in compliance with all
applicable listing requirements of the Exchange.

be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as otherwise disclosed in or contemplated by the Registration Statement or
the Prospectus, no tax deficiency has been determined adversely to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which has had, or would reasonably
be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has no knowledge of any federal, state or

Authorities any notice of any condemnation of, or zoning change affecting, the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the
Company knows of no such condemnation or zoning change which is threatened, except for such that would not reasonably be expected to interfere
in any material respect with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and its Subsidiaries or otherwise have
a Material Adverse Effect, individually or in the aggregate.
(cc)

thereto; all property, leases or claims in which the Company and the Subsidiaries has an interest or right have been validly located and

would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or the Subsidiaries; the Company and the Subsidiaries
have all the necessary surface rights, access rights and other necessary rights and interests relating to the properties in the Mining
Projects granting the Company and the Subsidiaries the right and ability to access and explore for minerals, ore and metals for development

with the use made by the Company or the Subsidiaries of the rights or interest so held; and each of the proprietary interests or rights
and each of the documents, agreements and instruments and obligations relating thereto referred to above is currently in good standing
in the name of the Company or the Subsidiaries except where the failure to be so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect on the Company and the Subsidiaries, as a whole. The Mining Rights in respect of the Mining Projects constitute all material Mining
Rights in which the Company has a beneficial interest.
(dd)
Mining Obligations. To the knowledge of the Company, all assessments or other work required to be performed or payments
required to be made in relation to the material Mining Rights of the Company and each of the Subsidiaries in order to maintain its and
their interests therein have been performed or made to date and the Company and each of the Subsidiaries has complied in all respects
with all applicable laws, regulations and governmental policies in this connection as well as legal and contractual obligations to third
parties in this connection except for any non-compliance which could not either individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected

are in good standing in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement.

a good relationship with all Governmental Authorities in the jurisdictions in which the Mining Projects are located, or in which such
parties otherwise carry on their business or operations. All such government relationships are intact and mutually cooperative and, to
the knowledge of the Company, there exists no condition or state of facts or circumstances in respect thereof, that would prevent the
Company or the Subsidiaries from conducting their business and all activities in connection with the Mining Projects as currently conducted
or proposed to be conducted and there exists no actual or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened termination, limitation or other
adverse modification in any such relationships with such Governmental Authorities.

required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses as described in the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus; and (iii) have not received notice of any actual or potential liability for the investigation or remediation of any

except, in the case of any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, for any such failure to comply or failure to receive required permits,
licenses, other approvals or liability as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected have a Material Adverse
Effect. There are no orders or directions relating to environmental matters requiring any work, repairs, construction or capital expenditures
to be completed or made by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries with respect to any of the assets of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries
or any assets previously held directly or indirectly by the Company nor has the Company or any of the Subsidiaries received notice of
any of the same.
(kk)
Hazardous Substances. To the knowledge of the Company, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has used, except
in compliance with all Environmental Laws or except to the extent that the consequences would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect, any property or facility which it owns or leases or previously owned or leased, to generate, manufacture,
process, distribute, use, treat, store, dispose of, transport or handle any Hazardous Substances.
(ll)
Environmental Clean-Up. Except as ordinarily or customarily required by applicable permits, neither the Company nor any
of the Subsidiaries has received any notice that it is responsible or potentially responsible for a federal, state, local and foreign
clean-up site or corrective action under any Environmental Laws except where such action could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect on the assets or properties, business, results of operations, prospects, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company
or any of the Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has received any request for information in connection with
any federal, state, local or foreign inquiries as to disposal sites except where such inquiries could not reasonably be expected to have

of the Company on a consolidated basis.
(mm)

Disclosure Controls. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain systems of internal accounting controls that are
designed to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s
general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. As of the date of the last audited financial statements of
the Company, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective and the Company is not aware of any material weaknesses
in its internal control over financial reporting (other than as set forth in the Prospectus). Since the date of the latest audited financial
statements of the Company included in the Prospectus, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting (other than as set forth in the Prospectus). The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange
Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that
material information relating to the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is made known to the certifying officers by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F is being prepared. The Company’s
certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90
days prior to the filing date of the Form 20-F for the fiscal year most recently ended (such date, the “Evaluation Date”).
The Company presented in its Form 20-F for the fiscal year most recently ended the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness
of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date and the disclosure controls and procedures
are effective. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls (as such term
is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act) or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could
significantly affect the Company’s internal controls.

and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer of the Company (or
each former principal executive officer of the Company and each former principal financial officer of the Company as applicable) has made
all certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act with respect to all reports, schedules, forms, statements

and file with the Commission, promptly upon the Agent’s reasonable request,
any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement
or Prospectus that, in the Agent’s reasonable opinion, may be necessary or advisable in connection with the distribution of the
Placement Shares by the Agent (provided, however, that the failure of the Agent to make such request shall not relieve the
Company of any obligation or liability hereunder, or affect the Agent’s right to rely on the representations and warranties made
by the Company in this Agreement and provided, further, that the only remedy the Agent shall have with respect to the failure
to make such filing shall be to cease making sales under this Agreement until such amendment or supplement is filed); (iii) the Company
will not file any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares or a security convertible
into the Placement Shares unless a copy thereof has been submitted to Agent within a reasonable period of time before the filing and the
Agent has not objected thereto in good faith on reasonable grounds and in writing within two (2) Business Days (provided, however,
that the failure of the Agent to make such objection shall not relieve the Company of any obligation or liability hereunder, or affect
the Agent’s right to rely on the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement and provided, further,
that the only remedy the Agent shall have with respect to the failure by the Company to obtain such consent shall be to cease making sales

is deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or Prospectus, except for those documents available via EDGAR;
and (iv) the Company will cause each amendment or supplement to the Prospectus to be filed with the Commission as required pursuant to
the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act or, in the case of any document to be incorporated therein by reference,
to be filed with the Commission as required pursuant to the Exchange Act, within the time period prescribed (the determination to file
or not file any amendment or supplement with the Commission under this Section 7(a), based on the Company’s reasonable opinion
or reasonable objections, shall be made exclusively by the Company).
(b)
Notice of Commission Stop Orders. The Company will advise the Agent, promptly after it receives notice or obtains knowledge
thereof, of the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement,
of the suspension of the qualification of the Placement Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening
of any proceeding for any such purpose; and it will promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop
order or to obtain its withdrawal if such a stop order should be issued. The Company will advise the Agent promptly after it receives

Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or for additional information related to the offering of the Placement Shares or for additional information
related to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.
(c)
Delivery of Prospectus; Subsequent Changes. During any period in which a Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is
required to be delivered by the Agent under the Securities Act with respect to the offer and sale of the Placement Shares, (including
in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act or similar rule), the Company will
comply in all material respects with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act, as from time to time in force, and to file
on or before their respective due dates all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company
with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, 15(d) or any other provision of or under the Exchange Act. If the Company has
omitted any information from the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act, it will use its best efforts to
comply with the provisions of and make all requisite filings with the Commission pursuant to said Rule 430B and to notify the Agent promptly
of all such filings if not available on EDGAR. If during such period any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended
or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading, or if during such period it is necessary to amend or supplement
the Registration Statement or Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act, the Company will promptly notify the Agent to suspend the
offering of Placement Shares during such period and the Company will promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus
(at the expense of the Company) so as to correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; provided, however, that
the Company may delay such amendment or supplement if, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, it is in the best interests of the Company
to do so and shall promptly provide the Agent with a written notice to that effect setting forth with reasonable details the grounds for
such judgment. Until such time as the Company shall have corrected such misstatement or omission or effected such compliance, the Company
shall not instruct the Agent to resume the offering of Placement Shares.

amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus that are filed with the Commission during any period in which a
Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (including all documents filed with the
Commission during such period that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein), in each case as soon as reasonably practicable
and in such quantities as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request and, at the Agent’s request, will also furnish copies
of the Prospectus to each exchange or market on which sales of the Placement Shares may be made; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required to furnish any document (other than the Prospectus) to the Agent to the extent such document is available
on EDGAR.

Earning Statement. To the extent not otherwise available on EDGAR, the Company will make generally available to its security
holders as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 15 months after the end of the Company’s current fiscal quarter,

Shares by means of a post-effective amendment, sticker, or supplement but not by means of incorporation of documents by reference into
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares;

at which no Placement Notice is pending or a Suspension is in effect, which waiver shall continue until the earlier to occur of the date
the Company delivers instructions for the sale of Placement Shares hereunder (which for such calendar quarter shall be considered a Representation
Date) and the next occurring Representation Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Placement
Shares following a Representation Date when a Suspension was in effect and did not provide the Agent with a certificate under this Section 7(l),

letter (except that statements in such prior opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended
or supplemented as of the date of the Reliance Letter). For greater certainty, the opinion of Company Counsel will be accompanied by a

and to maintain such qualifications and exemptions in effect for so long as required for the distribution of the Placement Shares (but

to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction

assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that

including, without limitation, those required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the applicable regulations thereunder
that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms,
including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in

Conditions to Agent’s Obligations. The obligations of the Agent hereunder with respect to a Placement will

(a)
Registration Statement Effective. The Registration Statement shall have become effective and shall be available for the
(i) resale of all Placement Shares issued to the Agent and not yet sold by the Agent and (ii) sale of all Placement Shares contemplated
to be issued by any Placement Notice.
(b)
No Material Notices. None of the following events shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) receipt by the Company of any
request for additional information from the Commission or any other federal or state Governmental Authority during the period of effectiveness
of the Registration Statement, the response to which would require any post-effective amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement
or the Prospectus; (ii) the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state Governmental Authority of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) receipt by the Company of
any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Placement Shares for
sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) the occurrence of any event that
makes any statement of material fact made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement,
the Prospectus or incorporated documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain an untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
and, that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,

assigned to any of the Company’s securities (other than asset backed securities) by any rating organization or a public announcement
by any rating organization that it has under surveillance or review its rating of any of the Company’s securities (other than asset
backed securities), the effect of which, in the case of any such action by a rating organization described above, in the reasonable judgment
of the Agent (without relieving the Company of any obligation or liability it may otherwise have), is so material as to make it impracticable
or inadvisable to proceed with the offering of the Placement Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

partners, members, directors, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls the Agent or any affiliate within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act as follows:
(i)
against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, joint or several, arising out of
or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment
thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any related
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom
of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading;
(ii)
against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, joint or several, to the extent
of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Authority, commenced
or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission;
provided that (subject to Section 10(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company,
which consent shall not unreasonably be delayed or withheld; and
(iii)
against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel),
reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental
Authority, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue
statement or omission (whether or not a party), to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above,
provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not
apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission made solely in reliance upon and in conformity with the Agent Information.
(b)
Agent Indemnification. Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors and each officer of the
Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity
contained in Section 10(a), as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements
or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendments thereto), the Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment
or supplement thereto) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity
with information relating to the Agent and furnished to the Company in writing by the Agent expressly for use therein. The Company hereby
acknowledges that the only information that the Agent has furnished to the Company expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth in the eighth
and ninth paragraphs under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus (the “Agent Information”).
(c)
Procedure. Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 10 will, promptly after
receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party
or parties under this Section 10, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all
papers served, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from (i) any liability that
it might have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 10 and (ii) any liability that it may have to any indemnified
party under the foregoing provision of this Section 10 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture
of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies
the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects
by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified
party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense,
the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any other legal expenses except as provided below and except for
the reasonable and documented costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense. The
indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel
will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (1) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in
writing by the indemnifying party, (2) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal
defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party,
(3) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the
indemnified party) or (4) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action or counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party, in each case, within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action;
in each of which cases the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying
party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings
in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate
firm (plus local counsel) admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All such
fees, disbursements and other charges will be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred. An indemnifying party
will not, in any event, be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent. No indemnifying party
shall, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any
pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 10 (whether or not any indemnified
party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (1) includes an express and unconditional release of each indemnified
party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation,
proceeding or claim and (2) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf
of any indemnified party.
(d)
Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying
party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be
liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 10(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (1) such settlement
is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (2) such indemnifying party shall
have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (3) such indemnifying
party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
(e)
Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided
for in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 10 is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be
unavailable or insufficient from the Company or the Agent, the Company and the Agent will contribute to the total losses, claims, liabilities,
expenses and damages (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid
in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted) to which the Company and the Agent may be subject in such proportion
as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agent on the other hand. The
relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agent on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion
as the total net proceeds from the sale of the Placement Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total
compensation received by the Agent (before deducting expenses) from the sale of Placement Shares on behalf of the Company. If, but only
if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative
fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, with respect to the statements or omission that resulted in such
loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations with respect
to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Agent,
the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission.
The Company and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 10(e)
were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations
referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, liability, expense, or damage,
or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 10(e) shall be deemed to include, for the purpose of this Section
10(e), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any
such action or claim to the extent consistent with Section 10(c) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
10(e), the Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the commissions received by it under this Agreement and
no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled
to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 10(e), any
person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the Securities Act, any affiliates of the Agent and any officers,
directors, partners, employees or agents of the Agent or any of its affiliates, will have the same rights to contribution as that party,
and each director of the Company and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution
as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of
commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 10(e),
will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify will not relieve that party
or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this Section 10(e) except to
the extent that the failure to so notify such other party materially prejudiced the substantive rights or defenses of the party from whom
contribution is sought. Except for a settlement entered into pursuant to the last sentence of Section 10(c) hereof, no party will
be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent if such consent is required pursuant
to Section 10(c) hereof.
11.
Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Section
10 of this Agreement and all representations and warranties of the Company herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall
survive, as of their respective dates, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent, any controlling persons,
or the Company (or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or controlling persons), (ii) delivery and acceptance of the
Placement Shares and payment therefor or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.
12.
Termination.
(a)
The Agent may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, as hereinafter specified at any time (1) if there has been, since
the time of execution of this Agreement or since the date as of which information is given in the Prospectus, any change, or any development
or event involving a prospective change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the business, properties, earnings, results of
operations or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course
of business, which individually or in the aggregate, in the sole judgment of the Agent, acting reasonably, has or could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and makes it impractical or inadvisable to market the Placement Shares or to enforce contracts
for the sale of the Placement Shares, (2) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States
or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or
development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the
effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Agent, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Placement Shares or to
enforce contracts for the sale of the Placement Shares, (3) if trading in the Common Shares has been suspended or limited by the Commission
or the Exchange, or if trading generally on the Exchange has been suspended or limited, or minimum prices for trading have been fixed
on the Exchange, (4) if any suspension of trading of any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market shall
have occurred and be continuing, (5) if a major disruption of securities settlements or clearance services in the United States shall
have occurred and be continuing, or (6) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either U.S. Federal or New York authorities. Any
such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8 (Payment of
Expenses), Section 10 (Indemnification and Contribution), Section 11 (Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery),
Section 13 (Notices), Section 16 (Entire Agreement), Section 17 (Governing Law and Time; Waiver of Jury Trial), Section
18 (Consent to Jurisdiction), Section 22 (Absence of Fiduciary Relationship) and Section 23 (Definitions) hereof shall
remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. If the Agent elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this
Section 12(a) the Agent shall provide the required notice as specified in Section 13 (Notices).
(b)
The Company shall have the right, by giving ten (10) days’ notice (or five (5) days’ notice at any time when no Placement
Notice is in effect) as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement.
Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8, Section
10, Section 11, Section 13, Section 16, Section 17, Section 18, Section 22 and Section 23
hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.
(c)
The Agent shall have the right, by giving ten (10) days’ notice (or five (5) days’ notice at any time when no Placement
Notice is in effect) as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement.
Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8, Section
10, Section 11, Section 13, Section 16, Section 17, Section 18, Section 22 and Section 23
hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.
(d)
Unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Section 12, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the issuance and
sale of the Maximum Amount of Placement Shares through the Agent on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; provided
that the provisions of Section 8, Section 10, Section 11, Section 13, Section 16, Section 17,
Section 18, Section 22 and Section 23 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.
(e)
This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Sections 12(a), (b), or (c)
above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided, however, that any such termination by mutual agreement
shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Section 8, Section 10, Section 11, Section 13, Section 16,
Section 17, Section 18, Section 22 and Section 23 shall remain in full force and effect.
(f)
Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided, however,
that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Agent or the Company,
as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Placement Shares, such Placement Shares
shall settle in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. Neither party may assign
its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however,

Entire Agreement; Amendment; Severability; Waiver. This Agreement (including all schedules and exhibits attached
hereto and Placement Notices issued pursuant hereto) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous
agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement
nor any term hereof may be amended except pursuant to a written instrument executed by the Company and the Agent. In the event that any
one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable
as written by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such provision shall be given full force and effect to the fullest possible extent
that it is valid, legal and enforceable, and the remainder of the terms and provisions herein shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal
or unenforceable term or provision was not contained herein, but only to the extent that giving effect to such provision and the remainder
of the terms and provisions hereof shall be in accordance with the intent of the parties as reflected in this Agreement. No implied waiver
by a party shall arise in the absence of a waiver in writing signed by such party. No failure or delay in exercising any right, power,
or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder.
17.
GOVERNING LAW AND TIME; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. SPECIFIED TIMES OF DAY REFER TO NEW YORK

CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND
FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH

THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT
FORUM OR THAT THE VENUE OF SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS
AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF (CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN

PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.
19.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original,
but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed Agreement by one party to the other may
be made by electronic transmission.
20.
Construction. The section and exhibit headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction
hereof. References herein to any law, statute, ordinance, code, regulation, rule or other requirement of any Governmental Authority shall

21.
Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company represents, warrants and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior
written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Agent represents, warrants and agrees
that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Placement
Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,”
as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Agent or by the
Company, as the case may be, is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents and
warrants that it has treated and agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,”
as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus,
including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping. For the purposes of clarity, the parties hereto
agree that all free writing prospectuses, if any, listed in Exhibit 21 hereto are Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses.
22.
Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that:
(a)
the Agent is acting solely as agent in connection with the public offering of the Placement Shares and in connection with each
transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the process leading to such transactions, and no fiduciary or advisory relationship between
the Company or any of its respective affiliates, shareholders (or other equity holders), creditors or employees or any other party, on
the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, has been or will be created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, irrespective of whether or not the Agent has advised or is advising the Company on other matters, and the Agent has no obligation
to the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement;
(b)
it is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement;

contemplated by this Agreement and it has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed
appropriate;
(d)
it is aware that the Agent and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ
from those of the Company and the Agent and its affiliates have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company
by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship or otherwise; and
(e)
it waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Agent or its affiliates for breach of fiduciary
duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the sale of Placement Shares under this Agreement and agrees that the Agent
and its affiliates shall not have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to it in respect of such
a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on its behalf or in right of it or the Company, employees or
creditors of the Company.

Exhibit 99.3
Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc
Block Listing Application and "At The Market" Sales Agreement
(NYSE AMERICAN, AIM and VFEX: CMCL)
St Helier, December 17, 2024 – Caledonia Mining
Corporation Plc (“Caledonia” or the “Company”) today announces that it has entered into an "At the Market"
or "ATM" sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co (“Cantor”) (the “ATM Sales Agreement”), pursuant
to which the Company may, at its discretion from time to time, sell up to US$50,000,000 worth of shares (the “ATM Offering”).
Any sales of shares would occur by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions or block trades, with sales only being made on the NYSE
American at market prices. Caledonia expects to use the amount of any net proceeds from the sales for investment in the development of
the Bilboes sulphide project.
In connection with the ATM Offering, yesterday Caledonia filed
a technical report summary titled “Bilboes Gold Project Technical Report Summary”, prepared for Caledonia by DRA Projects
(Pty) Ltd (“DRA”), in accordance with Subpart 1300 and Item 601(b)(96) of Regulation S-K (“S-K 1300”), as adopted
by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
DRA previously issued an S-K 1300 pre-feasibility study for
the project entitled “Bilboes Gold Project Technical Report Study”, with an issue date of May 15, 2024 and an effective date
of December 31, 2023. On June 3, 2024, Caledonia published a new technical report for Bilboes, which superseded prior technical reports
and technical report summaries for Bilboes. The new Bilboes technical report was a preliminary economic assessment prepared in accordance
with Canada’s National Instrument 43-101 and did not comply with S-K 1300.
The purpose of the technical report summary filed yesterday
is to report mineral resources for the project in accordance with S-K 1300, to present the results of an initial assessment for the implementation
of open pit mining to recover the gold mineralization and to propose additional work required for feasibility level studies. The effective
date of the technical report summary, being May 30, 2024, and the amounts of mineral resources reported are identical to those reported
in the preliminary economic assessment.
The Company intends to publish a new feasibility study for the
project in the first quarter of 2025.
Cantor, acting as sales agent, may conduct sales for the benefit of the
Company should the Company elect to initiate a transaction or transactions, dependent on market conditions and such other terms as the
Company may specify. The ATM Sales Agreement is not a formal placing and any potential sales of new shares are not underwritten by the
sales agent.

Accordingly, an application has been made to AIM for a block admission
in respect of 4,000,000 new depositary interests representing the same number of shares in the share capital of the Company which will
rank pari passu with the existing shares in issue. It is expected that the block admission will become effective on or about December
18, 2024. These new shares will be issued and allotted from time to time to settle any sales conducted under the ATM Sales Agreement.
Following admission, the Company's issued share capital remains unchanged
at 19,214,554. The Company will make six-monthly announcements of the utilisation of the block admission, in line with its obligations
under AIM Rule 29.
A prospectus supplement, (the “Prospectus Supplement”)
to the Company’s base shelf prospectus (the “Base Shelf Prospectus”), will be filed with the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as part of the Company’s registration statement on Form F-3 (the “Registration
Statement”). The Prospectus Supplement, the Base Shelf Prospectus and the Registration Statement contain important detailed information
about the Company and the ATM Offering. Prospective investors should read the Prospectus Supplement, the Base Shelf Prospectus and the
Registration Statement and the other documents the Company has filed for more complete information about the Company and the ATM Offering
before making an investment decision. Investors may obtain copies of the Prospectus Supplement by visiting the SEC’s website at

Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Information
Information and statements contained in this news release
that are not historical facts are “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities legislation that
involve risks and uncertainties relating, but not limited, to Caledonia’s current expectations, intentions, plans, and beliefs.
Forward-looking information can often be identified by forward-looking words such as “anticipate”, “believe”,
“expect”, “goal”, “plan”, “target”, “intend”, “estimate”, “could”,
“should”, “may” and “will” or the negative of these terms or similar words suggesting future outcomes,
or other expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, intentions or statements about future events or performance. Examples
of forward-looking information in this news release include: filing of a prospectus supplement, potential sales of shares, development
of the Bilboes sulphide project and the application of the proceeds to that project. This forward-looking information is based, in part,
on assumptions and factors that may change or prove to be incorrect, thus causing actual results, performance or achievements to be materially
different from those expressed or implied by forward-looking information. Such factors and assumptions include, but are not limited to:
failure to sell any shares or raise other finance, establish estimated resources and reserves, the grade and recovery of ore which is
mined varying from estimates, success of future exploration and drilling programs, reliability of drilling, sampling and assay data, assumptions
regarding the representativeness of mineralization being inaccurate, success of planned metallurgical test-work, capital and operating
costs varying significantly from estimates, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project
approvals, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of projects and other factors.
Security holders, potential security holders and other prospective
investors should be aware that these statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited
to: risks relating to estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources proving to be inaccurate, failure to sell shares or raise other
finance to develop the Bilboes sulphide project, fluctuations in gold price, risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral
exploration, development and mining, risks relating to the credit worthiness or financial condition of suppliers, refiners and other parties
with whom the Company does business; inadequate insurance, or inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks and hazards, employee
relations; relationships with and claims by local communities and indigenous populations; political risk; risks related to natural disasters,
terrorism, civil unrest, public health concerns (including health epidemics or outbreaks of communicable diseases such as the coronavirus
(COVID-19)); availability and increasing costs associated with mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of mineral exploration
and development, including the risks of obtaining or maintaining necessary licenses and permits, diminishing quantities or grades of mineral
reserves as mining occurs; global financial condition, the actual results of current exploration activities, changes to conclusions of
economic evaluations, and changes in project parameters to deal with unanticipated economic or other factors, risks of increased capital
and operating costs, environmental, safety or regulatory risks, expropriation, the Company’s title to properties including ownership
thereof, increased competition in the mining industry for properties, equipment, qualified personnel and their costs, risks relating to
the uncertainty of timing of events including targeted production rate increase and currency fluctuations. Security holders, potential
security holders and other prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information. By its nature,
forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute
to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and various future events will not occur. Caledonia undertakes no obligation
to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking information whether as a result of new information, future events or other
such factors which affect this information, except as required by law.
This news release is not an offer of the shares of Caledonia
