About Kazera Global plc

Kazera is a global investment company focused on leveraging the skills and expertise of its Board of Directors to develop early-stage mineral exploration and development assets towards meaningful cashflow and production. Its three principal investments are as follows:

Alluvial diamond mining through Deep Blue Minerals (Pty) Ltd, Alexander Bay, South Africa

Kazera currently has a 100% direct interest in Deep Blue Minerals, of which 74% is held beneficially by Kazera and 26% is held on behalf of Black Economic Empowerment partners.

Heavy Mineral Sands mining (including ilmenite, monazite, rutile, and zircon)  through Whale Head Minerals (Pty) Ltd, Alexander Bay, South Africa.

Kazera currently has a 70% direct beneficial interest in Whale Head Minerals together with the benefit of a loan facility entitling it to receive approximately £38m out of dividends from the other shareholders.

Tantalite mining in South-East Namibia (divestment in progress)

As announced on 20 December 2022, Kazera  agreed to dispose of African Tantalum (Pty) Ltd ("Aftan") for a cash consideration of US$13 million plus a debenture payment of 2.5% of the gross sales of produced lithium and tantalum for life-of-mine. Completion of the sale was subject to receipt of full consideration proceeds. Aftan was deconsolidated from the Company's financial statements with effect from 4 January 2023 because, in accordance with the terms of the sale agreement, it had relinquished control of Aftan in favour of the purchaser, Hebei Xinjian Construction Close Corp ("Hebei Xinjian") with effect from that date. Kazera retained the right to cancel the transaction and retain all amounts paid to date in the event of default by Hebei Xinjian. Following default by Hebei Xinjian, Kazera initiated legal proceedings in September 2024, which have now concluded in Kazera's favour with an arbitration award exceeding US$11.9 million, including interest, plus coverage of legal costs. Kazera is now assessing the most effective legal and commercially beneficial avenues to enforce the award and recover the full amount due.

 The Company will consider additional investment opportunities as appropriate, having regard to the Group's future cash flow requirements.
