Sylvania Platinum Limited

("Sylvania", the "Company" or the "Group")

Fourth Quarter Report to 30 June 2022

Sylvania (AIM: SLP) announces its results for the quarter ended 30 June 2022 ("Q4" or the "quarter"). Unless otherwise stated, the consolidated financial information contained in this report is presented in United States Dollars ("USD" or "$").

Achievements

   -- Sylvania Dump Operations ("SDO") achieved 18,837 4E PGM ounces in Q4 (Q3: 15,840 ounces), making a strong 
      contribution towards a total 67,053 4E PGM ounces achieved for FY2022; 
 
   -- SDO recorded $34.9 million net revenue for the quarter (Q3: $47.9 million), reflecting a 22% lower PGM basket 
      price received during the quarter; 
 
   -- Group EBITDA of $16.8 million (Q3: $ 30.0 million); 
 
   -- Group cash balance of $121.3 million, after payment of the windfall dividend, share buyback and year-end taxes 
      (Q3: $138.0 million); 
 
   -- Doornbosch achieved 10-years Lost-Time Injury ("LTI") Free during June 2022 and received the 'Best-in-class 
      Safety Performance' award by the Mine Metallurgical Managers Association of SA; 
 
   -- Tweefontein operation achieved record monthly, quarterly and annual PGM production performance; and 
 
   -- Sale of Grasvally Chrome Mine (Pty) Ltd became unconditional 8 July 2022 

.

Challenges

   -- PGM feed grade of ROM ore from the host mine at Mooinooi has improved during the past quarter, but remains a 
      focus area to ensure output ounce targets are achieved in the future ; and 
 
   -- The effect of high global inflation and uncertainty continues to impact the cost of reagents, fuel and transport. 

Opportunities

   -- Tweefontein MF2 project is currently in execution and expected to contribute to production ounces from early in 
      the 2023 calendar year; 
 
   -- Lannex MF2 opportunity was assessed and a project was initiated during the past quarter to target commissioning 
      of a new MF2 plant towards the end of the 2023 calendar year; and 
 
   -- The Group maintains strong cash reserves to allow funding of capital expansion and process optimisation projects, 
      upgrading the Group's exploration and evaluation assets and to return value to shareholders. 

Commenting on the Q4 results, Sylvania's CEO, Jaco Prinsloo said:

"I am very pleased with the strong finish to the financial year where the SDO achieved 18,837 ounces for the quarter. The strong performance was achieved on the back of a solid production effort from all operations, especially Tweefontein plant which achieved record monthly and quarterly PGM ounces, improved ROM PGM feed grade received from the host mine at Mooinooi and the contribution of the recently commissioned Lesedi MF2 circuit also added to our performance."

"The 22% lower PGM basket price received during the quarter impacted both the 4E revenue as well as the sales adjustment for the quarter. Consequently, revenues and profits were lower, but still resulted in a strong cash position after the payment of the windfall dividend, taxes and share buybacks during the period."

"On the cost front, SDO cash costs decreased 13% in rand and 15% in dollar terms, benefitting from the higher ounces produced, but operations are still navigating higher global cost inflation impacts and thus operating cost focus will remain a priority."

"Despite the challenges faced over the past few quarters, I am pleased with the significantly improved production performance of the SDO for Q4. The Company was therefore able to achieve a PGM production of 67,053 ounces for FY2022 to meet the mid-range of our earlier stated guidance for the year."

The Sylvania cash generating subsidiaries are incorporated in South Africa with the functional currency of these operations being ZAR. Revenues from the sale of PGMs are incurred in USD and then converted into ZAR. The Group's reporting currency is USD as the parent company is incorporated in Bermuda. Corporate and general and administration costs are incurred in USD, GBP and ZAR.

(1) The gross basket price in the table is the June 2022 gross 4E basket used for revenue recognition of ounces delivered in Q4 FY2022, before penalties/smelting costs and applying the contractual payability.

(2) Revenue (6E) for Q4, before adjustments is $37.6 million (6E prill split is Pt 52%, Pd 19%, Rh 9%, Au 0.3%, Ru 16%, Ir 4%). Revenue excludes profit/loss on foreign exchange.

(3) The cash costs include direct operating costs and exclude indirect cost for example royalty tax and EDEP payments.

A. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

Health, safety and environment

The Company is pleased to report that no significant occupational health or environmental incidents occurred during the quarter. The Doornbosch operation achieved a phenomenal ten-years Lost-time Injury ("LTI") free during June 2022 and the operation received an industry award from the Mine Metallurgical Managers Association for the best achievement in the Small Plant category. Both Lesedi and Doornbosch have exceeded two-years LTI-free, and all SDO were LTI-free for the quarter .

Operational performance

The SDO delivered 18,837 4E PGM ounces for the quarter, a 19% increase quarter-on-quarter as the new Lesedi MF2 circuit and Mooinooi grade improvements, together with Tweefontein's record performance for the quarter, increased output at the plants.

The increased PGM ounce production was achieved through a combination of 10% higher PGM feed tons attributable to Lesedi's throughput which stabilised after tailings-related interruptions during previous quarters. A 4% PGM feed grade and 4% recovery efficiency improvement during the quarter also contributed to the increase in ounces. The PGM feed grades improved through collaboration with the host mine to improve the feed grade from ROM ore sources, while the post-commissioning optimisation of the Lesedi MF2 circuit and reagent optimisation at Lannex assisted to improve the PGM recovery efficiency at those two plants. Tweefontein in particular had an excellent production quarter, achieving both record monthly PGM ounces in June 2022 and record quarterly production for Q4, resulting in FY2022 being a record year for the flagship operation.

SDO operating cash costs per 4E PGM ounce decreased 13% in rand and 15% in dollar terms quarter-on-quarter to ZAR10,075/ounce and $646/ounce (Q3: ZAR11,538/ounce and $758/ounce). The higher ounce production had a positive influence on unit costs while reagent price increases, transport costs and fuel price increases continued to impact on operating costs. The average ZAR:USD exchange rate depreciated by 2% during the quarter.

The Group incurred capital expenditure of ZAR67.8 million ($4.4 million), which is aligned with planned capital project schedules. A significant portion was spent on the construction of the Lesedi TSF and newly commissioned Lesedi MF2 projects. In addition, funds were spent on the new Mooinooi and Doornbosch TSFs as well as the Tweefontein MF2 project.

Operational focus areas

The new Lesedi TSF was successfully commissioned during March 2022 with the new MF2 tailings pipeline and infrastructure feeding the dam, together with the return water system to the plant, also being successfully commissioned and are now operational. The optimisation of the Lesedi MF2 plant is continuing and management's focus is on improving recovery efficiencies and resultant ounce contribution.

The ROM PGM feed grade from the host mine at Mooinooi has increased significantly over the past quarter following various collaborative efforts on site during recent months. PGM plant performance has also consequently improved. Focus remains on tracking the source and quality of material being received to ensure production targets are achieved and maintained into the future.

Operational opportunities

Operational opportunities include technical focus on improving recoveries and cost saving initiatives at all operations. In addition, the completion of construction and commissioning of the Tweefontein MF2 by the end of the 2022 calendar year is further expected to contribute towards improved PGM recovery efficiencies and ounces.

Impact of COVID-19 and South African Government imposed lockdown regulations

During the quarter, the lockdown regulations imposed on South Africa were lifted as the country emerged from its fifth wave of coronavirus infections. Consequently, the mandatory requirement to wear masks in public was removed and the limitations imposed on gatherings was ended. The Company reported no active cases of COVID-19 during the quarter and thus remains at a total of 142 infections reported since the start of the pandemic.

While all regulations have been lifted, Sylvania continues to encourage responsible behaviour amongst employees and will continue to monitor the situation and to implement measures for both the corporate office and operations to limit interaction and exposure where possible.

B. FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

Financial performance

Despite the higher ounce production, revenue (4E) for the quarter decreased 11% to $34.4 million (Q3: $38.5 million) on the back of the 22% lower basket price recorded in June and applied to calculate revenue for ounces produced and delivered in the quarter but only invoiced in Q1 FY2023. The average 4E gross basket price for Q4 was $2,589/ounce against $3,327/ounce in Q3. Net revenue for the quarter, which includes base metals and by-products, and the quarter-on-quarter sales adjustment as a result of the lower basket price was $35.0 million (Q3: $47.9 million). Net revenue also includes attributable revenue received for ounces produced from material processed from a third-party on a trial basis.

Group cash costs per 4E PGM ounce decreased by 13% in rand from ZAR14,287/ounce to ZAR12,390/ounce and decreased 15% in dollar terms from $938/ounce in the previous quarter to $794/ounce during Q4.

General and administrative costs increased slightly quarter-on-quarter from $0.75 million to $0.76 million. These costs are incurred in USD, GBP and ZAR and are impacted by the exchange rate fluctuations over the reporting period.

Group EBITDA decreased from $30.0 million to $16.8 million and net profit decreased from $21.2 million to $13.8 million, primarily as a result of the decrease in the basket price.

The Group cash balance decreased from $138.0 million to $121.3 million during the quarter. Cash generated from operations before working capital movements, was $18.8 million with net changes in working capital amounting to a decrease of $0.1 million. Dividend withholding tax of $1.1 million was paid during Q4 and provisional income tax and mineral royalties' taxes of $14.3 million were paid at the end of June 2022 at rates of 28% and 7% respectively. The Group spent $4.4 million on capital during the current quarter and paid $8.3 million as a windfall dividend in April 2022. A total of $7.1 million was spent on the share buyback programme in the quarter. The 12% depreciation of the spot ZAR exchange rate against the USD quarter-on-quarter had a $5.0 million negative effect on the cash held at quarter end.

C. MINERAL ASSET DEVELOPMENT

Volspruit Project

The Volspruit Project technical report is expected to be completed during Q2 FY2023. It will include a new mineral resource estimate based on further borehole information and a new orebody model. It will also include ore reserve conversion based on a mining study to pre-feasibility level as well as a scoping level assessment of the planned processing plant and related infrastructure.

The outstanding metallurgical test work for PGM flotation is expected to be completed during Q1 FY2023.

The Preliminary Economic Assessment, slightly delayed by a change in scope, will be completed by end Q1 FY2023 (September 2022).

The final reporting for the environmental field studies completed during Q2 and required for the amendment of the Environment Impact Assessment ("EIA") and the Water Use Licence Application ("WULA"), is expected to be completed during the first quarter of FY2023. The drafting for the amendment to the approved EIA and the WULA continue concurrently, and the applications are due to be submitted to the relevant authorities during the Q2 FY2023.

Further work will be carried out in the forthcoming financial year to progress the feasibility status of the processing plant and TSF to allow for a JORC compliant Ore Reserve and increased confidence in the feasibility status of the entire opportunity.

Northern Limb Projects

All core logging of recently-drilled boreholes for the target area, (which represents approximately 10% of the overall Northern Limb deposit strike length), is complete, including the relogging programme reported in Q3. The Quality Assurance and Quality Control ("QAQC") procedures have been completed to measure and assure the quality of the product during the period. The final stage requiring the interpretation and modelling of the data collected during the current programme for a resource estimation over the first target area will be completed during August 2022. The results of the resource estimation will be released when available.
