Audited Results for the year ended 30 June 2023
Notice of Annual General Meeting
Integrated Annual Report
Jubilee Metals Group PLC (AIM: JLP/Altx: JBL), a diversified
leader in metals processing with operations in Africa, is pleased
to announce its audited results for the year ended 30 June 2023
("FY2023"). Today, Jubilee is also publishing, its Integrated
Annual Report.
Jubilee has delivered a strong operational performance which has
assisted in buffering some of the challenging market conditions,
brought on by a fast-depreciating PGM basket price and
infrastructural challenges in both operating jurisdictions. The
operational performance served to demonstrate Jubilee's ability to
challenge industry norms by breaking through technical barriers and
implementing solutions that extract value from materials and ore
sources that were previously regarded by others as waste or too
complex.
Key milestones and achievements for the year
-- Record production figures across our PGM, chrome and copper
operations with 42 433 PGM oz (exceeding guidance and up 2%
year-on-year) 1 289 890 chrome concentrate tonnes (up 7%) and 2 923
copper tonnes (up 29%).
-- Successfully implemented an investment programme of GBP36
million (FY2022: GBP58 million) equivalent to US$44 million
(FY2022: US$70 million) to diversify and expand our operations in
chrome, PGM, copper and cobalt.
-- Commissioned a state-of-the-art expanded PGM processing
facility, designed to process PGM tailings and ores, previously
regarded as waste. This versatile facility boasts an annual
production capacity of 44 000 oz of PGMs.
-- Further expanded the chrome operational footprint through the
implementation of a long-term chrome ROM offtake agreement offering
increased chrome margins capable of offsetting the lower PGM
margins.
-- In South Africa, to address the infrastructure challenges, we
initiated the installation of backup power units at our chrome
facilities and managed stock levels to ensure continuous
operations.
-- In Zambia, we achieved significant advancements by
formulating breakthrough process flow sheets for the treatment of
mixed and transitional copper reefs as part of our 14 000 tonnes
per annum Southern copper strategy. These breakthroughs form part
of the process flowsheet upgrade at Roan currently underway.
-- The upgraded flowsheet offers significant lower capital
expansion opportunities within Zambia.
-- The technical team is in the process of innovating a copper
waste leach circuit for the treatment of copper and cobalt
tailings, as part of our Northern Refining copper strategy. The
development phase has commenced with upscaled continuous pilot runs
to confirm the encouraging results achieved to date.
-- Effectively addressed the infrastructure issues associated
with the new Roan Concentrator. A modern water infrastructure
system was completed in December 2022, followed by an enhanced
power infrastructure finalised in February 2023.
Financial highlights
-- Revenue from operations increased by 1% to GBP142 million
(FY2022: GBP140 million) equating to US$171 million (FY2022: US$186
million) with growth in US$ chrome revenue predominately offsetting
the market driven decrease in PGM revenue.
-- Gross profit was lower at GBP31 million (FY2022: GBP45
million) equivalent to US$38 million (FY2022: US$60 million)
impacted mainly by:
o Lower average PGM basket prices year-on-year decreasing by 22% to US$1 262 (FY2022: US$1 615)
o Increase of 11% in US$ operating cost per PGM oz driven mainly
by the increase in power and logistic costs
o Initial decrease during H1 FY2023 in chrome margins mainly due
to power constraints which was addressed through the roll-out of
back-up power systems
o Decrease in copper revenue per tonne of 19% to US$7 451 (FY2022: US$9 210)
o Continued expected growth of the chrome operations offering
the potential to offset lower PGM margins
-- EBITDA decreased to GBP24.8 million (FY2022: GBP36.8million)
or US$29.8 million (FY2022: US$48.9 million).
-- Cash from operating activities was supported by increased
contribution from operational expansions and remained strong at
GBP31 million (FY2022: GBP35 million) equivalent to US$37 million
(FY2022:US$42 million).
-- The Group's earnings per share decreased by 35% to 0.48 pence
(FY2022: 0.73 pence), as a result of the weighted average number of
shares increasing by 9% to 2 687.7 million shares (FY2022: 2 455.5
million shares) predominately due to the exercise of warrants
during the financial year and earnings attributable to owners of
the parent decreasing by 28% to GBP12.9 million (FY2022: GBP18.0
million) or US$15.5 million (FY2022: US$24.0million).
-- Group cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2023 of
GBP12.5million (FY2022: GBP16 million) or US$15.9 million (FY2022
US$19.5 million).
-- A robust net cash position supporting the Group's current
assets to cover total liabilities by 103% (FY2022: 131%).
-- The Group's equity reduced marginally to GBP205 million
(FY2022: GBP207 million), predominately due to the profit after
taxation off-set by the movement in the foreign currency
translation reserve as a result of the weakening ZAR and ZMW
against the pound during the period under review. The Group
continues to maintain a strong equity ratio of 68% (FY2022:
71%).
Project and operational highlights
South Africa
-- In FY2023, our South African operations achieved 177 days
without any Lost Time Injuries (LTIs), compared to 162 days in
FY2022. This translates to a consistent LTIFR rate of 1.5,
mirroring our previous year's performance.
o The company was saddened by the loss of life suffered by a
service provider to our operations earlier in the year.
-- PGM oz sold increased by 2% to 42 433 oz (FY2022: 41 586 oz),
exceeding full year guidance of 38 000 oz.
-- Chrome tonnes sold increased by 4% to 1 275 287 tonnes
(FY2022: 1 222 452 tonnes) exceeding full year guidance of 1 200
000 tonnes.
-- Net cost per PGM oz net of chrome credits of US$508
(FY2022:US$408), remaining firmly as one of the lowest cost
producers of PGMs.
-- South African operations have reached stable production
meeting the market guidance and offering significant growth
opportunities.
-- On 6 June 2023, we proudly announced a significant, long-term
processing partnership. This collaboration increases our chrome ore
processing capacity by 360 000 tonnes annually offering the
potential to produce an additional 160 000 tonnes of chrome
concentrate per annum at improved margins together with an
associated feed to our PGM operations of 10 000 PGM ounces. The
move into higher margin chrome offtakes offers Jubilee:
o The opportunity to obtain greater exposure to the chrome price
and achieve higher margins compared with the existing fixed price
chrome tolling agreements;
o The option to further expand the partnership to expand the
processing capacity to 720 000 tonnes per annum of chrome ore;
o The opportunity of additional expansion opportunities
leveraging Jubilee's proven chrome efficiency capability, setting a
target annualised chrome concentrate production rate of 2 million
tonnes (60% expansion) over the next two years further
strengthening Jubilee's position as one of the largest chrome
producers globally.
Zambia
-- Zambian operations sustained a robust safety performance,
achieving 122 LTI free days (FY2022: 185 LTI free days), and
commensurately realising a reduction in the LTIFR to 2.4 (FY2022:
2.9).
-- Successfully mitigated power and water disruptions by
completing a new, privately-owned water infrastructure in December
2022 and augmenting the power infrastructure in February 2023.
-- Copper production improved by 29% to 2 923 tonnes (FY2022: 2
269 tonnes), marginally below the Group's revised guidance of 3 000
tonnes primarily due to previously announced power and water
disruptions in Zambia, impacting the ramp-up of the Roan
Concentrator.
-- Decision taken to further upgrade the Roan concentrator to
implement new technical advances and address lessons learnt in the
processing of weathered and transitional copper ores. The expansion
and upgrade of Roan has commenced and is expected to be completed
during Q2 FY 2024.
-- Jubilee successfully developed a breakthrough process flow
sheet for the treatment of mixed and transitional copper reefs as
part of our 14 000 tonnes per annum Southern copper strategy.
-- This modular flowsheet development offers the potential to
unlock numerous transitional copper ore opportunities in Zambia at
a significantly reduced capital investment per opportunity.
-- The Northern Copper Strategy continues to progress with the
development phase entering upscaled continuous pilot trials to
confirm results achieved to date. If successful, Jubilee believes
this would solve the technical barrier to unlock the recovery of
copper and cobalt from the vast quantity of copper tailings at
surface in Zambia.
Financial highlights
South Africa
-- Net revenue from our South African operations for FY2023
increased to GBP125 million (FY2022: GBP121million) up 3% from
FY2022, equivalent to US$151 million (FY2022: US$162 million).
-- Gross profit from South African operations for FY2023 reached
GBP27 million (US$32 million) down 30% from FY2022 maintaining a
healthy of 21% despite a 22% decline in the PGM US$ revenue per oz
and external operating cost drivers of power and logistics.
-- Chrome earnings margin of 12% (FY2022:13%) despite a rise in
operating costs of 10% to GBP56/t (FY2022: GBP51/t). Operating
costs in US$ terms remained consistent year-on-year.
-- PGM cost per oz US$508 (FY2022: US$408) net of chrome credits
driven higher mainly by cost of power and reliance on back-up
power.
Zambia
-- Net revenue from Zambian operations decreased by 8% driven by
sifter market prices to GBP17 million (FY2022: GBP18 million)
equivalent to US$20 million (FY2022: US$24 million) for the
year.
-- Gross profit from Zambian operations decreased by 35% to GBP5
million (FY2022: GBP8 million) and in US$ terms US$ 7.5 million
(FY2022: US$10 million) for the year.
-- Copper unit cost per tonne down 2% to US$5 281 (FY2022: US$5 386).
-- Total capital investment to date to deliver the integrated
Southern Copper Refining Strategy of GBP63 million (US$74 million)
which includes the integrated Sable Copper and Cobalt Refinery and
the Roan Concentrator.
Prospects for FY2024
SOUTH AFRICA
-- FY2024 offers the potential for growth in earnings as it
benefits from the expansion drive into high margin chrome
operations at a time when the market is experiencing strong demand
for chrome products:
o An additional 60 000 tonnes of higher margin chrome
concentrate is targeted for the first 6 months of FY2024 (150 000
tonnes over the full period) reaching an additional 15 000 tonnes
per month at stable production.
o The production of chrome forms a critical part of the South
African business' profitability and cost competitiveness. Jubilee
will continue to expand its chrome operational footprint on
attractive, market-linked terms during the period.
-- The Company confirms its guidance of achieving 1.45 million
tonnes of chrome concentrate for FY 2024.
-- The Company will seek to incrementally expand its PGM
production footprint to match the growing demand from the expansion
of the chrome operations.
-- Considering the prevailing PGM basket prices, the Company has
opted to prioritise enhancing the efficiency of existing PGM
capacity. We are also assessing potential Joint Ventures to
accommodate additional PGM feed materials, which presents a
cost-effective PGM expansion option for the Group. As part of this
decision the construction of a new PGM facility in the eastern limb
of South Africa has been placed under review.
-- The Company confirms its guidance of 42 000 PGM ounces for FY2024.
Zambia
-- The Southern Copper strategy targets the processing of
weathered and transitional copper reefs traditionally discarded as
waste.
o Jubilee developed breakthrough modular circuit designs
targeting the recovery of copper from these reefs;
o Modular circuit design offers potential for rapid deployment
based on learnings from the South African operations;
o Modules range from 15 000 to 50 000 tonnes per month
processing capacity at lower capital of US$2.5 million for a 15 000
tonnes per month module;
o Modules targeted as part of Roan upgrade with two further
modules considered under current long term offtake agreements being
negotiated.
-- The Company confirms its guidance of 5 850 tonnes of copper
for FY 2024 which is impacted by the upgrade at Project Roan.
-- As part of the development of the Northern Copper strategy,
upscaled continuous process trials have commenced to both confirm
the results achieved to date as well as the process flow sheet
assumptions. The continuous trials will run over an extended period
of approximately 10 weeks to ensure the accuracy of the
results.
Leon Coetzer, CEO, commented: "I am pleased to report another
year of significant growth at Jubilee in which we have demonstrated
our ability to navigate through some challenging infrastructure
conditions. The company successfully countered the sharp drop in
the PGM basket price by expanding its chrome operations into
higher-margin offtake agreements, resulting in a robust net cash
position and strong cash generation. Investments in power
infrastructure in South Africa and Zambia were crucial in
addressing power outages and stabilizing supply, while a new
private water infrastructure investment resolved disruptions issues
at the Roan operations.
"This year-on-year improved production performance reflects the
company's ongoing investment strategy in expansion opportunities,
with a belief in continued positive results in the short and medium
term. The organisation remains committed to challenging itself to
improve operational efficiencies, embodying what they refer to as
the "Jubilee Way."
"In South Africa, our operations continue maintain its status as
one of the lowest cost PGM producers and our commitment to safety
is evident with 177 days without any Lost Time Injuries. New
processing partnerships announced in the year are expected to
significantly enhance margins and processing capacities. Jubilee is
also poised for growth in Zambia, investing further in our new
copper division including upgrading our Roan Concentrator to boost
copper output. Technical breakthroughs from the development centre
offer substantial near-term growth opportunities in Zambia.
"In conclusion, the success of Jubilee can be attributed to the
unwavering dedication of our employees, strategic investments, and
agility in addressing challenges. The company remains committed to
delivering value to stakeholders and strengthening our market
position, and I continue to have every confidence our investments
will generate significant returns for shareholders in the short and
long term."

5. Going Concern
The Group's business activities, together with the factors
likely to affect its future development, performance and position
are set out in the Group's Integrated Annual Report. The Group
meets its day--to--day working capital requirements through cash
generated from operations and trade finance facilities.
The current global economic climate creates to some extent
uncertainty particularly over:
-- the trading price of metals; and
-- the exchange rate fluctuation between the US$ and the ZAR and
thus the consequence for the cost of the company's raw materials as
well as the price at which product can be sold.
The Group's forecasts and projections to 31 December 2024,
taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading
performance, commodity prices and currency fluctuations, indicates
that the Group should be able to operate within the level of its
current cash flow earnings forecasted for at least the next twelve
months from the date of approval of the financial statements.
The Group is adequately funded and has access to further
facilities, which together with contracts with several high-profile
customers strengthen the Group's ability to meet its day-to-day
working capital requirements and capital expenditure requirements.
Therefore, the directors believe that the Group is suitably funded
and placed to manage its business risks successfully despite
identified economic uncertainties.
The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the
foreseeable future, thus continuing to adopt the going concern
basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial
statements.
6. Events after the reporting period
The directors confirm that there have been no significant events
affecting the company since the end of the reporting period and up
to the date of approval of these financial statements that would
require adjustments to or disclosure in the financial
statements.
