CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

INTRODUCTION

The Group's financial year was marked by the sad loss of the Company's major shareholder's representatives, and four of the Company's executives in a fatal plane crash which involved one of RZM Murowa Aviation's planes. This unfortunate accident cast a dark cloud on the 2023 financial year for the Company and we continue to mourn these dear departed colleagues.

It is with this heavy heart that I present to you the financial results for the Group for the year ended 31 December 2023.

The year began on a positive note, with an upward review of the nostro retention from 60% to 75%, which was a welcome boost to the Group as this partially alleviated the foreign currency shortages. The increased nostro retention was complemented by favourable gold prices that experienced an upward trend from the beginning of the year thus contributing to the revenue growth for the year. Despite the challenging operating environment, the Group's gold production remained resilient recording a 1% growth from prior year.

Notwithstanding the notable growth in production and favourable gold prices, the financial performance was weighed down by the macroeconomic environment which remained turbulent and challenging. The period was characterised by rising cost of production driven by inconsistent power supply and spiralling exchange rates which subsisted throughout the year. Resultantly, the Group recorded a net loss for the year.

GROUP PERFORMANCE

Production for the year was 940kg, which was a slight 1% increase from prior year production of 928kg. The subdued production volumes were due to persistent plant breakdowns largely experienced at Cam & Motor Mine, which struggled with breakdowns in its milling section resulting in reduced throughput. Dalny remained under full care and maintenance during the year. The gold price maintained its growth trajectory from the beginning of the year and averaged US$1 913/oz for the year which was a 8% increase from the prior year's average price of US$1 766/oz. The improvement in gold production and gold prices increased the Group's revenue during the year to ZW$216.1 billion compared to ZW$20.6 billion achieved in the prior year. The increase in exchange rates in the current year also contributed to the enormous increase in revenue in ZW$ terms compared to the prior year.

GOLD BUSINESS

Renco Mine

Renco Mine reinforced its "low grade-high volume" strategy in the current year, ultimately maximising its milled throughput. This yielded positive results as production rose by 10% to 441kg from 402kg recorded in the comparative year. The Company is focused on stabilising power supply at Renco which remains a production obstacle for the mine. In order to curb this problem, the mine continues to invest in additional generator capacity to limit the impact of power cuts on production. Renco Mine is also reviewing its power supply arrangements and will consider all opportunities and alternatives possible that will result in improvement in power supply to the mine.

Cam & Motor Mine

The mine's production was largely affected by continuous breakdowns on the milling section. Mill 2 experienced frequent down times resulting in low milling throughput. Mill 2 was eventually suspended for major refurbishment in the fourth quarter and repair works were still ongoing as at year-end. Consequently, gold production fell by 5% in the current period to 499kg compared to 527kg achieved in prior year. Whilst the mine is undergoing rehabilitation of its second mill to increase milling capacity, the mine was also focused on its pit development. Delayed pit development has affected the desired blending matrix of run of mine processed into the plant which had a significant negative impact on gold recoveries.

Dalny Mine

During the period under review, Dalny remained under care and maintenance yielding no gold production for the year. The mine is working on regulatory approvals for its envisaged small scale operations in an effort to generate cash flows which will partially fund the care and maintenance costs and reduce the overall cash flow impact to the Group.

BASE METALS BUSINESS

The Refinery remained under care and maintenance during the current year and contributed revenue of ZW$314.2 million in the current period which partially funded its care and maintenance costs. The key focus in the ensuing year is to resuscitate the oxygen generation section of the plant which has a potential of generating additional income for the Refinery.

CHROME BUSINESS

The legal dispute involving the Company's chrome claims in Darwendale still persisted in the courts as at year end. The Company is however, committed to pursuing an amicable resolution of the matter with all the stakeholders concerned.

DIAMOND BUSINESS

Production for the year at the Company's associate RZM Murowa (Private) Limited declined by 3% to 414 000 carats compared to 426 000 carats recorded in 2022. Mining activities from the pits remained suspended and material processed was obtained from the pre-minedlow-grade tailings stockpiles. However, the achieved grades reduced in the current year due to the inhomogeneity of the stockpiles resulting in lower carats being achieved. The Group recorded a share of loss from the associate of ZW$5.4 billion in contrast to the share of profit of ZW$102.1 million in the prior year due to the reduced carats in the current year

ENERGY BUSINESS

The Company's energy projects mainly the 178 MW Solar Projects are now at funding stage after obtaining all the necessary regulatory approvals for these projects in prior years. The Company is currently engaging various potential funding partners in an effort to reach financial closure. Our stakeholders will be kept informed of any notable developments.

OUTLOOK

After the various interventions on the stabilisation of the 500TPH Plant at RZM Murowa in the current year, the key focus is on extending the Life of Mine. Extensive exploration and development work is planned in the ensuing year to delineate more open pit resources to extend the life of the pits and complement the existing stockpiles.

At Cam & Motor, improving plant uptime is a key priority to stabilise milling throughput which was a major hindrance in the current period. Refurbishment of the mills remains on the critical path to bring the plant to a stable state. Concerted efforts will also be made towards other key sections of the plant which have been impacting plant efficiencies and gold recoveries.

Power supply remains a major threat to production at Renco mine and resolution of this issue will go a long way in bringing production to plan. The Company is focused on finding alternative sources of power supply including adding generator capacity amongst other initiatives.

The future of the Group looks positive as these initiatives are set to stabilise production and bring the Group back to profitability.

DIRECTORATE

Messrs G R Flanagan and A P Shanghavi were appointed as Non-Executive Directors on 28th April 2023 subsequent to the resignation of Messrs M M Shah and G K Jain as Chief Executive Officer and Non-Executive Director respectively.

DIVIDENDS

No dividends were declared for the period.

APPRECIATION

I am deeply humbled and indebted for the tireless efforts of the Directors, who worked towards the survival and success of our Company during this difficult period. In addition, I extend my profound acknowledgement to our Management and Employees who are our most precious assets and pillars of success of this Company. Their continuous hard work and commitment to the Company's vision has been exceptional. The Company would not have thrived thus far without the continuous support of our various key stakeholders, and their valuable contribution to the Company is greatly appreciated.

NOTES TO THE ABRIDGED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D)

For the year ended 31 December 2023

For the year ended 31 December 2023

  1. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONT'D)
    The Public Accountants and Auditors Board (PAAB) pronounced in 2019 that factors and characteristics for the application of IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyper-Inflationary Economies" in Zimbabwe were met and mandated IAS 29 to be applied in the preparation and presentation of financial statements for entities in Zimbabwe. Hyper-inflation financial reporting is however, applicable to entities whose functional currency is the currency in hyper-inflation.
    The Group's functional currency is USD, which is not a currency in hyper-inflation and therefore IAS 29 is not applicable to the financial statements of the Group. The Group applied interbank exchange rates for conversions from the Group's functional currency USD to the presentation currency ZW$. The closing interbank exchange rate as at 31 December 2023 was 6 104.72 (2022: 684.33).
  2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    The abridged consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the Group's last annual financial statements and applicable amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
  3. ESTIMATES

When preparing the abridged consolidated financial statements, management undertakes a number of significant judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Key areas affected include, measurement of metals and minerals in concentrates and circuit, ore reserves and mineral resource estimates. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management.

8 EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit/(loss) attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year excluding treasury shares.

Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit/(loss) attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the Group after adjusting for impact of dilutive instruments.

The following reflects the income and share data used in the earnings per share computations:

NOTES TO THE ABRIDGED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D)

For the year ended 31 December 2023

  1. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
    As at the date of approval of these financial statements there were no events after the reporting period that were material to require separate disclosure in these financial statements.
  2. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
    Fair value of trade receivables, interest bearing borrowings and all other receivables and payables approximates their carrying amount. The fair value of FVOCI investments is based on non market observable information.
    12.1 Fair value hierarchy
    The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
    Level 1 : quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
    Level 2 : Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
    Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

12.2 Valuation techniques

Trade receivables (subject to provisional pricing)

The Group has trade receivables (subject to provisional pricing) arising from provisional pricing sales arrangements which the Group entered into with some of its metals in concentrate customers. Final settlement value would be based on final dry weight, agreed assays and final prices which were to be determined at the end of the Quotational Period (QP), usually ranging between 60 days to 180 days after date of shipment. The QP is the period after the physical shipment of goods during which the price and grade of mineral sold is subject to change due to fluctuations in commodity prices.

Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) investments

The fair value of the FVOCI investments has been determined using the net asset value (NAV) of the investee. Management has evaluated and believes that NAV provides the most reliable and reasonable fair value after taking into account of the information available, the nature and operations of the investee and the purpose of the Group's investment in the investee.

The shares of the investee are not publicly traded and there are no other similar companies in the same market whose shares are publicly traded. Furthermore, the investee does not have a history of declaring dividends. The Group does not have access to the investee's future plans and budgets given the size of its shareholding in the investee. After considering the above factors and the materiality of the investment, management believes that NAV gives the best estimate of the investment's fair value.

Below is the financial information of the investee that was used to calculate the fair value.
