This report provides updated estimates and reconciliations of the Implats Group's Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves as at 30 June 2023. It conforms to the South African Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, SAMREC Code (2016) and section 12.13 of the JSE Listings Requirements.
Implats is pleased to report a stable inventory of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.
At 30 June 2023, the end of the Group's financial year, Implats held 56.41% of the outstanding shares in Royal Bafokeng Platinum Limited (RBPlat). In July 2023, post financial year-end, its shareholding increased to 98.73%.
Given the timing of this acquisition, Implats was not able to apply its established governance oversight to review and sign off RBPlat's historical Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Statements for inclusion in Implats' financial year 2023 (FY2023) Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Report. As a result, RBPlat's maiden contribution to Implats' Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve inventory will be declared in February 2024 when Implats releases its interim results for the half year ending 31 December 2023.
Please visit the RBPlat website (www.bafokengplatinum.co.za) to view RBPlat's Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve statements and the interim results released on 1 August 2023. These reports are also available on
Implats' website ( www.implats.co.za).

GROUP OPERATIONS
Implats is structured around six mining and processing operations and Impala Refining Services (IRS), a refining business. Group operations are located on the Bushveld Complex in South Africa, the Great Dyke in Zimbabwe - the two most significant PGM orebodies in the world - as well as the Canadian Shield, a prominent igneous complex domain for PGMs in Canada.
In South Africa, our operations at Impala Rustenburg and the Afplats project are located in the Bojanala Platinum district of the North West province. RBPlat is located contiguous to Impala Rustenburg. The Marula and Two Rivers operations, together with the Waterberg joint venture project, are located in the Limpopo province.
In November 2021, Implats announced the acquisition of 24.5% of the RBPlat shares and increased this to 56.41% as at 30 June 2023. Details regarding the RBPlat mineral assets can be viewed at (www.bafokengplatinum.co.za), or (www.implats.co.za). Summary details regarding the attributable RBPlat Mineral assets will be included in the Implats interim results as at 31 December 2023.
HEADLINE NUMBERS

Implats reports a summary of total attributable ounces, as sourced from all categories of Mineral Resources for the Implats Group of companies and its other strategic interests, on a percentage equity-interest basis. The tabulation above reflects estimates for 3E, 4E and 6E ounces, based on the percentage equity interest. For clarity, both attributable Mineral Resources, inclusive of Mineral Reserves, and
Implats adopted the inclusive reporting style for Mineral Resources, where Mineral Reserves are included in the estimates. All Mineral Resource estimates are reported inclusive of Mineral Reserves, unless otherwise stated. A summary table with the estimated Mineral Resources, exclusive of Mineral Reserves, is provided on page 9.
attributable Mineral Resources, exclusive of Mineral Reserves, are shown separately in different sections of this report. Note that these are not additive to each other. This tabulation excludes RBPlat; the summary table will updated in the Implats interim results publication effective 31 December 2023, with the inclusion of the RBPlat estimates.

The accompanying graphs illustrate the following:
- The comparison based on 6E ounces shows that the Impala Rustenburg and Zimplats Mineral Resources comprise the bulk of the Group's Mineral Resources (70% of the total Implats inventory) (see page 4)
- The 6E ounces per reef grouping show that the Main Sulphide Zone (MSZ) in Zimbabwe's Great Dyke hosts 40% of the attributable Implats Mineral Resources
-
The five-year statistics for the estimated attributable platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, gold and iridium Mineral Resources indicate an overall stable inventory.

The attendant graphs compare the past few reporting periods and indicate an overall increase in attributable Mineral Reserves, in line with depletion and the changes mentioned above:
- Comparisons based on 6E ounces show that the Zimplats Mineral Reserves comprise 44% of the Implats Mineral Reserves (see page 4)
- The estimates per reef show that the MSZ hosts some 51% of the attributable 6E Implats Mineral Reserves at the Zimplats and Mimosa mines
• The five-year statistics for the estimated attributable 6E Mineral Reserves indicate an increase as at 30 June 2023 compared with the previous reporting period
- The updated allocation of Implats' 6E Mineral Reserves per operation is shown on the next page. The advantage at Zimplats, related to the operating depth and size, is clearly illustrated.
