Update on South Africa's COVID-19 measures: Resumption of Operations

The Company today announces an update on the status of the Sylvania Dump Operations ("SDO") following the easing of COVID-19 restrictions on mining companies announced by the South African Government on 16 and 29 April 2020 respectively, under the Disaster Management Act of 2000 .

The SDO commenced with scaled-down operations on 1 May 2020 and management has endeavoured to ramp up and maximise production under the strict conditions stipulated by Government and the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy. All six operations are now running, albeit at reduced but stable throughput, and started to dispatch PGM concentrate during the past week. T he teams at all the SDO sites are to be commended for their commitment and hard work in ensuring that the operations started up with minimal difficulty whilst prioritising the safety of all employees.

The protection, health and safety of all employees continues to be Sylvania's highest priority and will extend beyond the end of lockdown. The required measures are in place to ensure compliance with relevant regulations and the application of all the necessary training, health, hygiene, safety and personal protective procedures that are required to keep the Group's employees safe.
