Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc
Appointment of Dana Roets as a Director
(NYSE AMERICAN: CMCL; AIM: CMCL; VFEX: CMCL)
St Helier, January 20, 2022 : Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc
("Caledonia" or the "Company") a nnounces that it has appointed
Dana Roets to the board with immediate effect.
Dana has been the Chief Operating Officer at Caledonia since
2013 and will continue in this role following his appointment to
the board. He is a qualified engineer with over 34 years of
operational and managerial experience in the South African gold and
platinum industries. Dana has held various operational roles from
being an underground miner to becoming Vice President and Head of
Operations at Kloof Gold Mine.
Leigh Wilson, Chairman, commented:
"I am delighted to welcome our colleague Dana onto the board. He
is a highly respected professional engineer with a long
track-record in the mining industry. His contribution to Caledonia
as Chief Operating Officer over the last 9 years has been
outstanding - in particular, his contribution to the successful
implementation of the Central Shaft project at Blanket Mine: Dana
was responsible for this project from its initial design stage in
late 2014 to its commissioning in March 2021. Over this period,
Blanket's production has increased by over 60 per cent from less
than 42,000 ounces of gold in 2014 to over 67,000 ounces of gold in
2021. Following the successful completion of the Central Shaft, we
anticipate production at Blanket Mine increasing further to
approximately 80,000 ounces of gold per annum from 2022 onwards [1]
.
"Under Dana's leadership, Caledonia's technical team has been
substantially strengthened which puts us in a good position to
embark on new projects which I expect will be an integral part in
achieving the board's strategic vision for the Company to become a
multi-asset gold producer."
Commenting on his appointment as a director of Caledonia, Mr
Roets said:
"I am very excited to be appointed to the b oard at such a
transformational time for the Company and to become more closely
involved with the strategic decision-making process, especially in
the Company's transition into a multi-asset gold producer. I will
continue in my capacity of Chief Operating Officer to oversee the
operational team as we continue to strengthen and grow the business
."

release include: production guidance, estimates of future/targeted
production rates, and our plans and timing regarding further
exploration and drilling and development. This forward-looking
information is based, in part, on assumptions and factors that may
change or prove to be incorrect, thus causing actual results,
performance or achievements to be materially different from those
expressed or implied by forward-looking information. Such factors
and assumptions include, but are not limited to: failure to
establish estimated resources and reserves, the grade and recovery
of ore which is mined varying from estimates, success of future
exploration and drilling programs, reliability of drilling,
sampling and assay data, assumptions regarding the
representativeness of mineralization being inaccurate, success of
planned metallurgical test-work, capital and operating costs
varying significantly from estimates, delays in obtaining or
failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other
project approvals, inflation, changes in exchange rates,
fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of
projects and other factors.
Security holders, potential security holders and other
prospective investors should be aware that these statements are
subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors

suggested by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include,
but are not limited to: risks relating to estimates of mineral
reserves and mineral resources proving to be inaccurate,
fluctuations in gold price, risks and hazards associated with the
business of mineral exploration, development and mining, risks
relating to the credit worthiness or financial condition of

with and claims by local communities and indigenous populations;
political risk; risks related to natural disasters, terrorism,
civil unrest, public health concerns (including health epidemics or
outbreaks of communicable diseases such as the coronavirus

exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining or
maintaining necessary licenses and permits, diminishing quantities
or grades of mineral reserves as mining occurs; global financial
condition, the actual results of current exploration activities,
changes to conclusions of economic evaluations, and changes in
project parameters to deal with unanticipated economic or other
factors, risks of increased capital and operating costs,
