Notes
Future Production Growth
– Ongoing exploration on the Group's wholly owned mining leases at Nobles, Juno and Warrego confirmed extensions to the known mineralised zones. These projects target increasing overall Australian Group production to approximately 100,000oz of gold per year and 10,000t to 15,000t of copper per year over a life-of-mine (LoM) of more than 10 years
– Regional exploration programmes comprising magnetotelluric geophysical surveys and remote sensing have identified more than 10 new prospective targets for exploration
– Fast-tracking development of the Royal Sheba deposit at Barberton Mines, a near-surface, large-scale, free-milling orebody containing Mineral Resources of 6.9Mt at 3.24g/t (0.7 Moz gold), extending over a strike length of 800m and a width of 15m. Importantly, the orebody remains open both at depth and along strike, indicating the potential for further resource delineation and future growth
– Contract mining specialists have been shortlisted, and processing of Royal Sheba ore at the BTRP is expected to commence during this calendar year
– The development of the Royal Sheba project requires a relatively minimal upfront capital investment of approximately US$11 million in its first year, with the project expected to be self-funding thereafter
– A feasibility study is being conducted for the installation of a flotation section at the BTRP which has the potential to deliver an additional 7,500oz of gold production over the next three years
– At Evander Mines, the Poplar project, containing Mineral Resources of 28.7Mt at 6.99g/t for 6.46Moz gold, is located within the approved Evander Mines mining right. The Kimberley Reef at Poplar has been intersected from as shallow as 500m below surface and dips moderately to a maximum depth of around 1,200m. The Group has commenced with an updated PFS at Poplar to determine the optimal access and extraction methods for a 100,000oz per year shallow underground mine. This PFS will inform the basis of a feasibility study.

¹ Adjusted EBITDA® comprises earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation adjusted for impairment losses, bargain purchase gains and loss on disposal of plant and equipment.
² The Tenant company business combination was accounted for on a provisional basis in the previous interim reporting period. The accounting was complete by 30 June 2025. Provisional amounts presented as at 31 December 2024 were revised to reflect the measurement period adjustments made.
³ During the current reporting period, the Group reviewed the presentation of cash proceeds received under a short-term gold loan arrangement recognised in the comparative reporting period. These cash flows were previously presented as financing activities when they should have been presented as operating activities, as the arrangement was settled through the physical delivery of gold bullion (recognised in revenue) as opposed to cash. The comparative reporting period has been restated to reflect the reclassification.
Chief Executive Officer's Statement
Pan African's chief executive officer, Cobus Loots, commented:
"Pan African's safety, operational and financial performance in the first half of the financial year, together with the boon of record gold prices, has positioned us to deliver outstanding results for the full year. During the reporting period, the Group degreased its balance sheet and is also now further boosting cash returns to shareholders, with the Company initiating an attractive interim dividend payment.
The half-year results demonstrate the success of our strategy of focusing on high-margin, long-life tailings retreatment operations and also the acquisition of the very prospective Tenant Mines in Australia.
Lower-cost operations, accounting for 88% of Group production, delivered at an AISC® of US$1,700/oz – a very compelling margin at prevailing gold prices.
Despite our continued focus on cost control, all-in sustaining unit costs were higher than guided for the reasons detailed in this release. However, we believe that the expected increased gold production in FY26H2 will assist with reducing unit costs, and in terms of AISC®, Pan African remains competitive relative to other producers.
The Group's focus on sustainable and value-enhancing ESG initiatives has again delivered tangible benefits, with our PPA with NOA, together with additional investments into renewable energy projects at Evander Mines, MTR and Tenant Mines, resulting in a likely renewable penetration of more than 60% over the next two years.
Pan African has the ability to continue to deliver very attractive production growth over the next years, specifically internal expansions in Australia and around our MTR operation, which will not only add mine life but also significant additional production ounces. Pan African will continue to capitalise on the very favourable current environment to position the Group to keep on 'Mining for a Future' for many more years."
Performance per Operation and Optimisation Initiatives
Barberton Mines
The high-grade underground mines at Barberton Mines (Fairview, Sheba and Consort) are established operations with a capacity to produce approximately 80,000oz of gold per year. The mines boast an excellent long-term safety record. Mining commenced in the Barberton region in the 1880s, and Barberton Mines is one of the oldest continuously operating mining complexes in the world. Pan African's ongoing capital investments, including in renewable energy projects, aim to enhance productivity and improve ore-handling logistics to reduce AISC®. During the reporting period, Barberton Mines' production increased by 5.2% to 32,774oz (FY25H1: 31,142oz) at an AISC® of US$2,590/oz (FY25H1: US$2,170/oz).
Fairview Mine produced 20,977oz (FY25H1: 19,095oz), an increase of 9.9%, with the gold production increase primarily attributable to the bulk of the mining operations being conducted within the high-grade Main Reef Complex (MRC) and Rossiter orebodies during the reporting period. Ongoing development and exploration remain focused on the down-dip extensions of existing orebodies, specifically the MRC and Rossiter, to establish additional work areas to support future production.
A 3 Shaft winder upgrade at Fairview was completed at the beginning of the reporting period, which mitigates unplanned interruptions in production from the lower levels of the mine, resulting in improved output.
Initiatives to improve production at Fairview in the six months ahead also include:
Sheba Mine production decreased by 10.1% to 7,913oz (FY25H1: 8,805oz), negatively impacted by lower-grade ore fed to the plant at 4.43g/t (FY25H1: 5.15g/t), as development and ore drives into the Sheba Fault's lower-grade but large-scale Western Cross orebody commenced. Cross-fractures of the Zwartkoppie orebody have recently been intersected during development activities on the lower 37 Level. These cross-fractures are currently being mined using a cut-and-fill mining method, which constrains high-grade ore to the processing plant. To address these limitations, the operation plans to access additional working platforms in the near term to improve control over ore blending.
Consort Mine produced 3,884oz (FY25H1: 3,243oz), an increase of 19.8%:
The BTRP produced 7,143oz (FY25H1: 7,544oz) at an AISC® of US$1,484/oz (FY25H1: US$958/oz). The overall recovery rate reduced to 39.1% (FY25H1: 51.6%), with a recovered grade of 0.51g/t (FY25H1: 0.65g/t), following the successful commissioning of the Bramber dormant pump station in September 2025. Following plant upgrades, recent tests demonstrate additional gold could be recovered from previously processed material at the Bramber dormant tailings storage facility (TSF). As a result, the BTRP's LoM has been extended from two to six years based on current surface sources. Feed from the Royal Sheba project, anticipated this calendar year (refer to the future production growth section), will sustain and grow production from the BTRP for at least the next 10 years.
Elikhulu
The Elikhulu tailings retreatment operation was commissioned in 2018 and remains one of the lowest-cost gold mining operations in Southern Africa. It is a testament to Pan African's ability to conceptualise, plan and construct substantial growth projects ahead of schedule and within budget, with payback achieved in under three years.
Elikhulu production increased by 14.5% to 29,450oz in FY26H1 (FY25H1: 25,725oz) at an AISC® of US$1,209/oz (FY25H1: US$1,124/oz), delivering ahead of expectations for the period.
Drilling of additional sonic holes and the construction of remining infrastructure at the Winkelhaak TSF commenced in the reporting period and represents the last significant capital to be spent at Elikhulu for its remaining LoM of nine years. Feed from the Winkelhaak tailings facility from FY27 will be blended with feed from Leslie/Bracken concurrently, further increasing flexibility and production consistency at this operation. As the resources at Leslie/Bracken are depleted, this infrastructure will be repurposed at Winkelhaak, which will then supply 100% of the plant's feed.
Evander Mines
During the reporting period, gold production from 24 Level increased by 87.3% to 21,640oz for FY26H1 (FY25H1: 11,551oz), inclusive of surface sources. AISC® for Evander Mines' underground operations reduced to US$1,576/oz (FY25H1: US$2,153/oz), as unit costs improved as a result of the increased production. The subvertical hoisting shaft at Evander Mines' 8 Shaft underground operation is operating at design capacity, enabling improved ore handling.
The Group's ongoing investment in infrastructure enabled the operation to establish the B raise line on 24 Level at 8 Shaft, which is in the high-grade core of the Kimberley Reef orebody, with the primary other initiatives as follows:
Reef intersections from the 24 Level long-inclined borehole drilling on the 25 Level reef horizon confirm the down-dip extension of the orebody and the high-grade ore of the Kimberley Reef, with the following results reported from the drilling:
In recent years, the Group has allocated substantial capital expenditure to extend the LoM at Evander Mines to maintain an average gold production profile of more than 60,000oz per annum at steady-state production for another 11 years under the current mine plan. The capital required for FY27 has reduced to between US$25.0 million and US$30.0 million, with the operation expected to continue its strong cash generation and production performance in the years ahead.
The Egoli project at Evander Mines' 7 Shaft is a stand-alone underground project which will utilise existing mining and metallurgical infrastructure, including 7 Shaft's hoisting systems and processing facilities at the Kinross metallurgical plant. The Group is currently drilling long-inclined diamond holes into this project. The results will be used to update the Egoli feasibility study.
MTR operation
Following the commissioning of the MTR operation in October 2024, the processing plant reached steady-state production during December of the same year. In FY26H1, MTR achieved gold production of 21,729oz, compared to the 30,806oz for FY25 at an AISC® of US$1,577/oz (FY25H1: US$1,428/oz). Performance was adversely impacted by the intersection of an anomalous low-grade lens low-recovery calcine material in the current mining area, which reduced both mining grade and recoveries.
The expansion of the plant from 800ktpm to 1mtpm, through the addition of two carbon-in-leach (CIL) tanks, together with the installation of reactors to further improve recoveries (total expansion cost of US$6.5 million) was successfully completed in December 2025, resulting in 1,060kt being processed that same month. This expansion is expected to increase production from the initial design capacity of 50,000oz to between 55,000oz and 60,000oz per annum.
Tenant Mines
The acquisition of Tenant Mines complements Pan African's portfolio of high-margin, long-life surface remining operations in a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction (Australia's Northern Territory), and is located in a region which is Australia's historically highest-grade gold province. The Group has identified key projects within its tenement area with the potential to expand the LoM of this operation beyond 15 years through a two-stage gold and copper strategy.
The construction of Nobles Gold Mine was completed in April 2025, ahead of schedule and within budget. An inaugural gold pour from this operation, the largest facility to have ever been constructed in the region, was achieved in May 2025. Although the ramp-up to steady-state production was slower than expected due to commissioning difficulties with the two mine residue filter presses, the operation achieved name plate capacity of 70ktpm during July 2025. Production for FY26H1 is a notable 15,560oz at an AISC® of approximately US$2,543/oz. Looking ahead, substantial production growth is anticipated in the near term as the operation continues to ramp up.
The first blasts in the adjacent Weaber's Find, Rising Sun and Nobels open pits took place during October 2025, resulting in higher-grade feed to the plant relative to the Crown Pillar Stockpile. As mining output from the open pits ramps up, the feed grade is expected to increase in FY26H2.
During the reporting period, in response to prevailing commodity prices, enhancing and optimising the production and capital expenditure profile for the next three financial years was prioritised, as outlined in the table below. Regional exploration efforts were focused on extending the mine's operational life beyond eight years. This strategic approach has led to the acceleration of major capital projects that were initially scheduled for later in the operation's life cycle, with the aim of improving the overall production profile.

Growth Projects
Soweto Cluster Tailings Retreatment
The Soweto Cluster TSF feasibility study was successfully completed during the reporting period and announced on SENS and RNS on 27 November 2025. An integrated 600ktpm Soweto Tailings Retreatment (STR) circuit at MTR was identified as the preferred option to process the Soweto TSFs, due to significantly lower upfront capital requirements, a shorter construction period, reduced permitting obligations and superior financial returns, while also benefiting from synergies with the existing MTR plant and operational infrastructure. This option will add production of 30Koz to 35Koz per annum for approximately 15 years at an estimated AISC³⁰ of between US$1,000/oz and US$1,200/oz and a total capital cost of ~US$160.0 million (approximately ZAR2.8 billion (at an average exchange rate of US$/ZAR:17.50)), which includes remining and overland pumping infrastructure and expanded TSFs.
The DFS for STR is expected to be completed by June 2026, followed by a final board decision to commence project construction shortly thereafter, with an anticipated construction period of approximately 24 months.
At a gold price of US$2,800/oz, the project returns:
At a gold price of US$3,500/oz, the project returns:
The environmental impact assessment and water use licence processes are progressing in accordance with the project schedule, with approvals expected during 2026.
The MTR operation commenced with concurrent rehabilitation programmes during its construction phase and has achieved significant milestones to date, with the successful re-establishment of wetlands and improved air and water quality. This has positively impacted local communities in the area as well as the Mogale region. The construction of the STR circuit will bring forward the original Soweto Cluster TSF remining schedule and rehabilitation programmes.
The Company maintains the clearing of silted drainage channels around affected Soweto TSFs to confine the overflow of excess rainwater to dedicated evaporation ponds, eradicating the run-off that previously affected natural water systems. Pan African has also commenced with the application of a newly developed binding agent that has reduced the amount of airborne particulate matter during windy conditions at the Soweto TSFs, which will measurably improve the air quality in the area.
Australia
Pan African controls 1,700km² of highly prospective ground in the Northern Territory through 100%-owned assets and through joint venture agreements with ERM. The Company intends to utilise a hub-and-spoke growth strategy to process multiple deposits and already has an experienced in-country management team in place. The earn-in joint venture with ERM for both the Northern and Southern project areas was finalised in September 2025. Tenant Mines now has a 75% controlling stake in the relevant mineral titles, with ERM holding the remaining 25%. All mineral titles are now being transferred to Tenant Mines management.
The Warrego copper and gold project , situated at Tenant Creek, Northern Territory, represents a further significant opportunity in our Australian portfolio. A feasibility study has been commissioned at Warrego for the mining and processing plant infrastructure, with the results anticipated early in FY27. The project targets increasing overall Australian production to more than 100,000oz of gold per year (excluding growth in operations detailed elsewhere) and 10,000t to 15,000t of copper per year over an LoM of up to 15 years. The Warrego project plant cost is estimated at between US$40.0 million and US$45.0 million and could potentially be funded from operational cash flow (subject to commodity prices) or via project finance.
Regional copper and gold deposits owned by third-party companies could supply additional feed sources to Warrego operation.
Royal Sheba
Development is being expedited at the Royal Sheba deposit, a key component of the Sheba Fault project at Barberton Mines. This orebody is notable for its surface outcrop, making it a shallow, large-scale, free-milling (non-refractory) deposit that offers favourable extraction conditions. The deposit boasts a Mineral Resource of 6.9Mt at a grade of 3.24g/t (0.7Moz gold), extending over an 800m strike length and widths of up to 15m. Importantly, the orebody remains open both at depth and along strike, indicating the potential for further resource delineation and future growth.
Royal Sheba will be mined by specialist contractor miners, who will be responsible for both the development of the orebody and the implementation of long-hole open stoping mining methods. Furthermore, amendments to include Royal Sheba mining in the existing and approved water use licence as well as the mine works programme have already been submitted to the relevant authorities for approval, and are anticipated to be finalised within the current calendar year. The development of the Royal Sheba project requires a relatively minimal upfront capital investment of US$11.0 million in its first year.
Ore production from Royal Sheba will be processed at the BTRP, with commencement of ore processing expected within this calendar year. This project will increase the production profile of the BTRP, with a current projected LoM of at least 10 years.
Poplar
Evander Mines holds one of the largest remaining unmined Mineral Resources within the Witwatersrand Basin, estimated at 119.6Mt at 8.79g/t for 33.8Moz gold, held by Pan African within its approved Evander Mines mining right, valid to 2038. The Poplar project is included in this resource, with an estimated Mineral Resource of 28.7Mt at 6.99g/t for 6.46Moz gold. The Kimberley Reef at Poplar occurs from as shallow as 500m below surface and dips moderately to a maximum depth of around 1,200m. Historically, a total of 146 diamond drillholes have been drilled into this project to define the geological structure, reef continuity and other parameters that underpin the Mineral Resource.
The Group has commenced with an update to the existing Poplar project PFS to determine the optimal access and extraction methods to mine 100,000oz of gold annually. The initial designs cater for two twin shafts as access points to the orebody, while the reef level mining is planned as a conventional Witwatersrand mining method with footwall development, where breast stoping will be employed. This updated PFS will inform the basis of a full feasibility study.

Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves
Pan African has one of the industry's best track records for grade consistency.
The Group's estimated Mineral Resources of 42.87Moz gold and 219kt copper and Mineral Reserves of 12.98Moz gold at 30 June 2025, in compliance with Table 1 of the SAMREC Code, remain unchanged and are detailed in the Group's annual Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves report for the year ended 30 June 2025. Pan African's full Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves report is available on our website at:
https:/www.panafricanresources.com/investors/fy2025-key-documents
Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance
During FY26H1, Pan African continued to embed sustainability into its operating and capital allocation decisions, supported by a robust ESG framework covering governance, strategy, risk management and performance, aligned with IFRS® reporting. The Group advanced key environmental, social and governance (ESG) priorities across renewable energy, climate, water and land management, as well as people and community development, enhancing operational resilience, cost stability and long-term value creation.
Environment
Energy and climate change management
Pan African delivered a notable performance towards its energy and climate change management strategy, strengthening operational resilience, improving energy security and generating material cost savings. The Group's operating solar photovoltaic renewable energy plants at both Evander Mines and Barberton Mines performed consistently, delivering combined electricity cost savings of approximately US$2.6 million during the period under review. These facilities supplied between 24% and 29% of site power requirements, supporting cost stability and reducing exposure to grid constraints and tariff escalation.
The renewable energy portfolio delivered meaningful greenhouse gas emissions reductions, with Evander Mines' and Barberton Mines' solar facilities contributing
to a combined reduction of approximately 29.9ktCO₂e in FY26 to date, supplemented by a further 3ktCO₂e avoided through energy efficiency initiatives.
In parallel, the Group advanced its renewable growth pipeline, including the fully permitted 19.7MW Evander Mines phase 2 solar project commencing construction in February 2026, the progression of engineering, procurement and construction contractor selection for the 19.0MW MTR solar project and the finalisation of feasibility studies for a 10MW solar and battery energy storage solution at Tenant Mines. In addition, the signing of a landmark 40MW PPA with NOA positions the Group to achieve up to 60% renewable energy penetration over time, while retaining flexibility as embedded generation capacity expands, with first power from NOA expected before the end of 2026.
Water management
During FY26H1, Pan African continued to strengthen water security across its operations through disciplined investment in underground water treatment and recycling infrastructure. At Evander Mines, the water treatment plant produced approximately 500,000m³ of potable water over the past six months, delivering cost savings of approximately US$0.4 million and materially reducing reliance on the municipal water supply. Phase 2 expansion, adding a further 3ML per day of treatment capacity, is under construction with first water expected by March 2026, supporting long-term operational resilience and continuity.
The MTR water treatment plant has commenced construction, with civil works underway and first water targeted for May 2026.
Water resource management at Tenant Mines is essential for sustainable and resilient operations in a water-scarce region in Australia, and the commissioning of the water bore at the Juno Shaft further derisks water security for Tenant Mines' operations.
These investments, totalling an estimated US$5.9 million, demonstrate the Group's proactive approach to managing water-related risks, enhancing operational resilience and supporting sustainable, long-term value creation.
Biodiversity management
During FY25H1, Pan African further advanced its biodiversity and land rehabilitation strategy, embedding nature-related considerations into operational planning and governance in line with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures guidance. The Group invested more than US$0.4 million in rehabilitation activities during the period, with all operations maintaining dedicated rehabilitation funding to manage post-closure obligations and mitigate long-term environmental liabilities.
Progress was achieved across multiple sites, including ongoing land restoration at MTR in line with Sustainability Bond targets, implementation of the Evander Wetland Offset Project, endorsed by the South African Department of Water and Sanitation, and continued rehabilitation of historical tailings and river systems at Barberton Mines.
Social
Pan African continued to strengthen its social licence to operate through structured stakeholder engagement, workforce development and targeted socio-economic investment across its operations.
At MTR , robust stakeholder engagement and governance frameworks underpinning Social and Labour Plan (SLP) implementation supported meaningful community development, educational infrastructure and food security.
The US$0.2 million flagship Green IQ agricultural and nursery project commenced in July 2026 and has created 10 permanent jobs and 18 seasonal employment opportunities at the small-holding farm in the Kagiso host community. The farm produces a variety of nutritious superfoods, which are supplied to retail outlets and community members, helping alleviate food insecurity.
At Barberton Mines , proactive stakeholder engagement structures, implementation of approved SLP projects and ongoing community initiatives contributed to community stability, with no significant disruptions to operations. Barberton Mines' flagship enterprise and supplier development programme witnessed an official graduation of nine local small and medium-sized enterprises, which are now actively participating in the mines' supply chain, providing services and goods to a value of US$0.3 million.
At Evander Mines , corporate social responsibility programmes contributed towards host community groups through back-to-school assistance projects and assistance to vulnerable households over the festive season.
Human resource development, learnerships, internships and adult education programmes supported local workforce development, with the Group spending approximately US$0.9 million on these initiatives.
In Australia, Tenant Mines advanced partnerships focused on work-readiness, training pathways and community collaboration. Collectively, these initiatives mitigate social and labour risks, support regulatory compliance and contribute to sustainable communities, reinforcing operational stability and long-term stakeholder value.
Barberton Blueberries project
The Barberton Blueberries project, the Group's flagship sustainable agricultural initiative developed as an alternative livelihood to mining in the Barberton region, delivered increased social impact, reinforcing Pan African's commitment to shared value creation. Improved operational performance during the reporting period delivered a 28% year-on-year increase in harvest volumes to 121t, supporting the creation of over 250 seasonal jobs at peak harvest, in addition to 25 permanent positions. The total harvest season salary spend amounted to approximately US$0.3 million, directly benefiting the host communities.
Corporate governance
Governance remains a core pillar of the Group's ESG framework, underpinning disciplined decision-making, regulatory compliance, and sustainable value creation.
Governance maturity was further strengthened by completing an independent ESG gap analysis, which informed a structured two-year programme to align disclosures with IFRS S1 and IFRS S2, in line with the provisions of the LSE.
The Group's ESG assurance framework continues to advance, with 16 key sustainability indicators scheduled for independent assurance in FY26, enhancing transparency, accountability and confidence in reported performance across material ESG matters and the Group's Sustainability Bond, supporting Pan African's long-term sustainability strategy.
Pan African won the 'Best ESG Initiative by a Mining Company' award for the MTR operation at the 2025 Resourcing Tomorrow conference held in December 2025, where competing entries included projects from other international mining groups. This award recognises the Group's commitment to creating immediate positive impacts on the environment and local communities, following years of neglect in the area.
Financial Performance
Revenue
Revenue increased by 157.3% to US$487.1 million (FY25H1: US$189.3 million) as a result of a 51.5% increase in production and a 61.6% increase in the US$ gold price received.
Cost of production
Production costs are incurred in South African rand and Australian dollar, the functional currencies of the Group's main operating entities, with translations to US$ impacted by the average US/A$ exchange rates, with the US/A$ remaining consistent relative to the previous reporting period. The Group's production costs increased by 64.4% in US$ terms, primarily due to Tenant Mines and MTR reaching steady state in the current reporting period. The increases in cost of production due to Tenant Mines and MTR reaching steady state were 25.1% and 18.4%, respectively. The explanations below exclude the impact of the exchange rate movements.
The impact of these increases, together with higher gold production and the gold price received, resulted in the gross profit margin increasing from 28.5% to 54.3%, period-on-period.
Adjusted EBITDA®, increased to US$245.2 million (FY25H1: US$58.0 million), and the EBITDA® margin increased to 50.3% (FY25H1: 30.6%), following a US$297.7 million revenue increase, a US$77.9 million increase in production costs (excluding depreciation) and a US$26.5 million increase in other expenses.
Depreciation and Amortisation
The depreciation and amortisation charge included in cost of production increased by 63.1%, primarily due to five months of steady-state production at Tenant Mines and full-period steady-state production at MTR.
Other Expenses
Other expenses increased by 199.7%, primarily driven by a 162.4% rise in the share-based payment expense following an increase in the share price. In addition, corporate costs increased due to higher costs associated with the transfer to the Main Board of the LSE.
Gain on Acquisition
The gain on acquisition of US$28.0 million in the previous reporting period arose due to the acquisition of Tenant company. Refer to note 13.2 of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Net Finance Costs
Net finance costs increased by 7.4%, largely due to borrowing costs of US$3.2 million that were capitalised to the MTR operation in the previous reporting period. Finance costs on the Group's borrowings decreased by 13.1% to US$9.9 million (FY25H1: US$11.4 million), as a result of the reduction in borrowings in the current reporting period.
Tax
The income tax expense for the current reporting period gave rise to an effective tax rate of 29.6%, which is higher than the previous reporting period's rate of 19.4%. The 442.6% increase in the Group's income tax expense is primarily attributable to the tax charge increasing to US$62.1 million (FY25H1: US$11.4 million), following an increase in the Group's taxable profit. The deferred tax expense increased to US$37.7 million (FY25H1: US$6.3 million).
Earnings per Share and Headline Earnings per Share
EPS increased to US 7.30 cents per share (FY25H1: US 2.50 cents per share (restated)).
HEPS increased to US 7.34 cents per share (FY25H1: US 1.20 cents per share).
EPS and HEPS are calculated by applying the Group's weighted average number of shares of 2,027.3 million shares outstanding (FY25H1: 1,929.4 million shares) to attributable earnings and headline earnings. Included in EPS in the previous reporting period is a gain on acquisition relating to the Tenant company transaction. This gain amounting to US$28.0 million is excluded from HEPS.
Assets
Capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment amounted to US$66.1 million (FY25H1: US$95.6 million), which included sustaining capital expenditure of US$10.7 million (FY25H1: US$6.5 million) and expansion capital expenditure of US$55.3 million (FY25H1: US$89.1 million). The decreased capital expenditure is mainly due to the MTR plant being completed during the previous reporting period.
Equity
The Group's net assets increased to US$687.2 million (FY25H1: US$424.4 million). Equity increased by the profit for the period and a foreign translation gain of US$38.0 million (FY25H1: US$16.4 million (loss)), due to the appreciation of the rand, offset by the net dividend payments to shareholders of US$44.0 million (FY25H1: US$23.7 million), which related to FY25 and FY24, respectively.
Liabilities
The environmental rehabilitation liability increased by US$7.3 million, mainly due to a decrease in the government bond rates from the previous reporting period.
Borrowings decreased to US$128.8 million (FY25H1: US$230.1 million), which is attributable to contractual and voluntary repayments on facilities due to increased cash generated.
The Group is obligated to redeem principal debt of US$56.5 million during the next 12 months.
Trade and other payables increased to US$65.9 million (FY25H1: US$46.1 million), predominantly due to Tenant Mines reaching steady state, resulting in an increase in trade payables of US$13.6 million.
The contract liability relates to a forward sale contract with Rand Merchant Bank (RMB) for the delivery of 2,250oz of gold in January 2026. The prior period contract liability relates to an upfront consideration of US$21.6 million, received in March 2023, from the synthetic gold forward sale transaction. This liability is recognised as revenue over a 24-month period and was settled in FY25H2.
The share-based payment obligations increased due to a rise in the Group's share price.
Capital Structure and Financing Arrangements
The PARS01 notes amounting to US$8.5 million were settled in the current reporting period, with the PARS02 and PARS03 notes remaining in place. In the previous reporting period, Pan African issued additional notes under the domestic medium-term note (DMTN) to the value of US$22.9 million.
During the reporting period, the sustainability-linked bond, revolving credit facility (RCF) and term loan facility remain in place with no adjustments to the terms, however, the term loan facility was settled in January 2026.
Cash Flows
Net cash from operating activities before dividend, tax, royalties and net finance costs increased by US$221.8 million to US$259.5 million (FY25H1: US$37.7 million), due to increased gold production and the higher gold price, with cash from operating activities increasing by US$174.2 million, notwithstanding a US$20.3 million increase in net dividends paid of US$44.0 million (FY25H1: US$23.7 million).
Cash used in investing activities of US$63.8 million (FY25H1: US$62.4 million) includes capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment and reduced due to the MTR plant being completed during the previous reporting period.
Cash from financing activities includes proceeds from borrowings of nil (FY25H1: US$95.5 million) and repayment of senior debt facilities of US$70.0 million (FY25H1: US$16.7 million).
Pan African has sufficient liquidity at the end of the reporting period, with access to cash and undrawn facilities at period-end of US$158.9 million (FY25H1: US$32.3 million).
Director Dealings
No directorship changes took place during the reporting period.

¹ During the current interim reporting period, the Group reviewed the presentation of cash proceeds received under a short-term gold loan arrangement recognised in the comparative reporting period. These cash flows were previously presented as financing activities when they should have been presented as operating activities, as the arrangement was settled through the physical delivery of gold bullion (recognised in revenue) as opposed to cash. The comparative reporting period has been restated to reflect the reclassification.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the period ended 31 December
1. Basis of Preparation and Material Accounting Policies
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2025 have been presented in accordance with UK-adopted IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting . The accounting policies applied in compiling the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in preparing the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025.
The financial information set out in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements does not constitute the Company's statutory accounts for the period ended 31 December 2025 within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025 were approved by the board of directors on 10 September 2025 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those accounts was unqualified, did not contain any emphasis of matter paragraph and did not contain any statement under section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.
The interim results have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The interim financial statements have also been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. As applied to the Group, there are no material differences between UK-adopted International Accounting Standards and IFRS Accounting Standards. Furthermore, these financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the SAICA Financial Reporting Guidelines, as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee, Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and the JSE and LSE Listings Requirements.
Going concern
The Group closely monitors and manages its liquidity risk by means of a centralised treasury function. Cash forecasts are regularly produced and sensitivities run for different scenarios including, but not limited to, changes in commodity prices and different production profiles from the Group's operations.
The Group had US$68.7 million (FY25H1: US$15.4 million) of available debt facilities and US$90.1 million (FY25H1: US$17.2 million) of cash and cash equivalents as at 31 December 2025.
Based on the current status of the Group's finances, having considered going concern forecasts and reasonably possible downside scenarios, using a gold price of US$2,200/oz and reduced production volumes, the Group's forecasts based on board-approved budgets demonstrate that it will have sufficient liquidity headroom to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business, and will comply with financial covenants for the 12 months from the date of approval of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
The board has a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the 31 December 2025 condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Alternative performance measures
The Group makes reference to APMs in conjunction with IFRS Accounting Standards when assessing its reported financial performance, financial position and cash flows. APMs should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or as superior to, measures of financial performance, financial position or cash flows reported in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Further information on APMs is provided on pages 66 to 77.
2. Significant Judgements and Estimates
The preparation of the Group's condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards and IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that may materially affect the application of the Group's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
These judgements and estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances, historical experience, expected future conditions and other factors. Actual results may differ from the amounts included in the financial statements.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.
Significant judgements
Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the condensed consolidated interim financial statement is as follows:
Cash-generating units
The Group defines a cash-generating unit (CGU) as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash flows largely independent of cash flows from other assets or a group of assets. The allocation of assets to a CGU requires judgement.
The Group's CGUs have been determined as follows:
Significant assumptions and estimates
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties as at 31 December 2025 that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period is as follows:
Cash flow projections and key assumptions
Expected future cash flows used in discounted cash flow models are inherently uncertain and could materially change over time. Cash flow projections are significantly affected by a number of factors, including Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, and economic factors such as commodity prices, discount rates, estimates of production costs and future capital expenditure.
Cash flow projections are based on financial forecasts and LoM plans incorporating key assumptions as detailed below:
Deferred tax rate applied within the Group
South African income tax on gold mining income is determined according to the gold formula that takes into account the taxable income and revenue from gold mining operations. The Group prepares nominal cash flow models to calculate the expected average income tax rate over the LoM. Judgement was applied in the determination of the future expected deferred tax rates of the Group's mining entities.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. The rates used to calculate deferred tax are based on the current estimate of future profitability when temporary differences will be utilised. The respective rates are calculated based on management's best estimate through which the temporary difference will be realised over the life of the mining operations.
3. Segment Analysis
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Pan African executive committee (Exco). The operating segments of the Group are determined based on the reports used to make strategic decisions that are reviewed by Exco. Exco considers the business principally according to the location and nature of the products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit.
The reportable segments comprise the following:
Mining operations
These segments derive their revenue from mining, extraction, production and the sale of gold.
South African operations
Australian operations
Other operations
The segment results have been presented based on Exco's reporting format, in accordance with the disclosures presented as follows:

10.9 Transition from JIBAR to ZARONIA
The Johannesburg Interbank Average Rate (JIBAR) is in the process of being phased out and replaced by the South African Rand Overnight Index Average (ZARONIA). All JIBAR tenors will either cease to be provided by or will no longer be representative immediately after 31 December 2026.
ZARONIA, administered and published by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB), is a near risk-free rate, in contrast to JIBAR, which incorporates both credit and term premiums. To ensure economic equivalence between the two benchmarks, a credit adjustment spread will be added to ZARONIA.
The transition is a regulatory initiative led by the SARB, with the underlying principle of ensuring economic neutrality such that neither borrowers nor lenders should be economically advantaged or disadvantaged by the change. The intention is for all parties to remain in an equivalent financial position following the implementation, with no party benefiting at the expense of any other party.
Funding Company has received initial communication from its financier, RMB, and is expected to receive further communication and updated loan documentation shortly.
Funding Company is currently evaluating the DMTN bond programme and is anticipated to communicate with counterparties in due course.

13. Acquisitions and Disposals
13.1 Acquisitions
There were no acquisitions during the current reporting period.
13.2 Measurement period adjustment – previous reporting period acquisitions
Acquisition of Tenant company
The accounting for the business combination was completed by the end of the 2025 reporting period. Provisional amounts of identifiable assets recognised and reported as at 31 December 2024 have been revised, resulting in a restatement of the comparative 2024 statement of financial position and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The fair values of exploration assets, mineral rights, capital under construction and long-term inventory were revised during the measurement period, following the refinement and completion of production schedules and LoM plans.
The fair values were revised as follows: Exploration assets decreased by US$1.3 million, mineral rights increased by US$15.6 million, capital under construction increased by US$1.7 million and long-term inventory decreased by US$7.3 million with a resultant increase in the deferred tax liability of US$4.2 million.
In addition, the initial 8% interest equity held by Pan African was remeasured to a revised fair value as at the acquisition date. The measurement period adjustment resulted in an increase in the fair value of US$1.6 million.
The net effect of the above measurement period adjustments resulted in a total increase in the bargain purchase gain of US$2.8 million.
Acquisition of Tenant company continued
The finalised fair values of the assets and liabilities of Tenant company at the date of acquisition are as follows:

¹ At the end of the current and previous reporting periods, trade receivables had an expected credit loss of nil. Trade and other receivables exclude prepayments, tax receivable and indirect taxes (value-added tax (VAT) and goods and services tax receivable).
² Trade and other payables exclude VAT payable, accruals for employees benefits and leave pay liabilities.
14.2 Fair value of financial instruments
The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values.
Fair value hierarchy
Financial instruments are measured at fair value and are grouped into Levels 1 and 2, based on the extent to which fair value is observable.
The levels are determined as follows:
Level 1 – Fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Fair value is determined using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 – Fair value is determined on inputs not based on observable market data.

Provisional amounts presented as at 31 December 2024 were revised to reflect the measurement period adjustments made. Refer to note 13.2.
² During the current interim period, the Group reviewed the presentation of cash proceeds received under a short-term gold loan arrangement recognised in the previous reporting period. These cash flows were previously presented as financing activities when they should have been presented as operating activities, as the arrangement was settled through the physical delivery of gold bullion (recognised in revenue) as opposed to cash. The comparative period has been restated to reflect the reclassification.

17. Related Party Transactions
The related party transactions are summarised as follows:
No further material related party transactions occurred, either with third parties or with Group entities, during the current or previous reporting period.
18. Litigation and Claims
Evander Mines and MPC
Evander Mines terminated the contract mining agreement (CMA) with its 8 Shaft contractor during the previous reporting period due to disputes over specific clauses in the CMA. Evander Mines referred this matter to arbitration and the proceedings are still ongoing. We believe the likelihood of any outflow of economic benefits is remote.
Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment – alleged offences in the Barberton Nature Reserve
On 22 May 2025, the South African state served a summons on Barberton Mines and its environmental health and safety manager for alleged contraventions of the National Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act, 57 of 2003, and related regulations. The charges relate to (i) conducting commercial prospecting in a nature reserve and (ii) the unauthorised widening and upgrading of a road within a nature reserve. Barberton Mines denies the merits of the charges. On 5 December 2025, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) rejected Barberton Mines' representation. Barberton Mines' legal counsel is currently in the process of drafting an appeal document to appeal the NPA's decision. We believe the likelihood of any outflow of economic benefit is remote.
Barberton Mines land claim
Barberton Mines is aware of a land claim, lodged by individuals purporting to be part of communities surrounding Barberton Mines' Sheba Mine, pertaining to two portions of land, one over which Barberton Mines holds a converted mining right. The merits of the claim remain unproven, and it appears opportunistic. The Group's legal counsel has advised that, irrespective of the merits of the claim, there will be no impact whatsoever on the Company's ability to exercise its mining right and continue operations.
19. Events After the Reporting Period
Subsequent to the reporting period, the board approved an interim gross cash dividend of ZAR280.0 million (approximately US$17.4 million). The interim dividend per share was calculated on 2,333,671,529 total shares in issue, equating to ZAR12.00000 cents per share or 0.54745 pence per share or US 0.74488 cents per share. This dividend has not been recognised as a liability at 31 December 2025.
The Group identified no other material events after the reporting period.
Other Items
Alternative Performance Measures
Introduction
When assessing and discussing Pan African's reported financial performance, financial position and cash flows, management makes reference to APMs of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that are not defined or specified under IFRS Accounting Standards.
The APMs include financial APMs, non-financial APMs and ratios, as described below.
APMs should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for as superior to, measures of financial performance, financial position or cash flows reported in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
Purpose of APMs
The Group uses APMs to improve the comparability of information between reporting periods and reporting segments by adjusting for uncontrollable or once-off factors which impact IFRS Accounting Standards measurements and disclosures to aid the user of this report in understanding the activity taking place across the Group's portfolio. Their use is driven by characteristics particularly visible in the mining sector.
Consequently, APMs are used by the board and management for planning and reporting. A subset is also used by management in setting director and management remuneration. The measures are also used in discussions with the investment analyst community and credit rating agencies.

All-in sustaining costs
Incorporates costs related to sustaining current production. AISC are defined by the World Gold Council as operating costs plus costs not already included therein relating to sustaining the current production, including sustaining capital expenditure. The value of by-product revenue is deducted from operating costs as it effectively reduces the cost of gold production.
All-in costs
Includes additional costs which relate to the growth of the Group. AIC starts with AISC and adds additional costs which relate to the growth of the Group, including non-sustaining capital expenditure not associated with current operations and costs such as voluntary severance pay.
AISC and AIC are reported on the basis of a ZAR/A$ per kilogramme of gold and US$ per ounce of gold. The US$ equivalent is converted at the average exchange rate applicable for the current reporting period as disclosed in the Group's production summary table on pages 78 to 83. A kilogramme of gold is converted to an ounce of gold at a ratio of 1:32.1509.
The following tables set out a reconciliation of Pan African's cost of production as calculated in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards to AISC and AIC for the reporting period FY26H1 and FY25H1. The equivalent of a rand per kilogramme and US$ per ounce basis is disclosed in the Group's production summary table on pages 78 to 83.
