Jubilee successfully completed its capitalisation and expansion programme and delivered on its targeted production for PGM (41 586 ounces), chrome (1 222 452 tonnes) and copper (2 604 tonnes) and maintained its zero-fatality rating with an LTIFR of 1.50 in South Africa and 2.90 in Zambia.

In South Africa, construction and ramp-up of the 45% expanded Inyoni operation was completed in March 2022, allowing Inyoni to accept multiple types of feed sources with an annualised capacity of 44 000 PGM ounces and a combined 1.2 million tonnes of by-product chrome concentrate (up 85%).

In Zambia, the fully integrated Southern Copper Refining Strategy was delivered with the completion of construction of the new Roan copper concentrator and commissioning and ramp-up commencing in July 2022 reaching nameplate throughput rates during September 2022.

The combined investment has resulted in an increase in the tangible net asset value per share of 40% to 4.84 pence for FY2022.

Revenue increased by 5.4% to £140 million (US$186 million), despite the completion of the investment program during the period under review. The early implementation of the new chrome circuit resulted in increased chrome by-product credits (up 101%) contributing to a lower US$ cost per PGM ounce (down 10%).
