Capitalised terms defined in these previous announcements have the same meaning in this announcement unless indicated to the contrary.

Colin Bird Chairman & CEO said: "This marks the start of earnings from the Star Zinc operation, which are progressing and will continue exporting more material. Our Kashitu operation will shortly be drilled with a view to a similar operation as Star Zinc but under Galileo's control for Galileo benefit other than 3^rd party costs related to the Kashitu operation. I am pleased that the Company has received the first distribution of approximately £2.4M from the Glenover Asset Sale and look forward to the Company potentially receiving approximately a further £470K from Glenover's conditional sale of its Vermiculite Mining Rights and £4.78M if Afrimat exercises its option to acquire Glenover."

b)   ZAR102M (approx. £4.78M) being its portion of the share sale proceeds due under the Glenover Share Sale Agreement (the "Sale Shares Consideration") which is conditional on Afrimat by 15 June 2022 or, if an extension has been granted by 10 November 202 exercising their option to acquire the Glenover Shares.

Glenover has the right to elect for the Vermiculite Mining Right Consideration to be paid in cash or Afrimat Shares based on the 30 days volume weighted average price of brackets VWAP close brackets at which Africa shares traded on the JSE limited on the effective date.
