Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc

Profitability expected to be materially ahead of market expectations

(NYSE AMERICAN, AIM and VFEX: CMCL)

St Helier, July 23, 2025, Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc ("Caledonia" or "the Company") expects to announce its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 ("Q2 2025") and the half year ended June 30, 2025 ("H1 2025") on August 11, 2025.

The Company anticipates reporting a profitable second quarter, building upon a strong performance in the first quarter of 2025. This reflects Blanket Mine's gold production summary announced on July 16, 2025 and the strong and sustained gold price.

Based on the current production profile at Blanket Mine, and assuming the continuation of favourable gold prices, the Company estimates that profitability for the full year of 2025 will be materially ahead of market expectations.

Further details will be provided in the Q2 2025 results expected to be announced on August 11, 2025.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, said:

"We were pleased with the excellent production results announced on July 16, 2025. Combined with a robust and sustained gold price, we are enjoying strong profitability. This reflects the hard work and dedication of the team at Blanket Mine and at group level, which we have strengthened significantly in recent times."
