Investor update summary
31 Mar, 2026Transaction summary and strategic repositioning
Sale of South African chrome and PGM processing assets valued at GBP 146 million ($146 million), based on a 6x EBITDA multiple, with net assets of $90 million and additional trade loans and credit facilities included.
Payment structure ensures retention of 25.1% of shares until final payment, with accelerated payments possible if metal prices are favorable; full payout expected within 3–6 years.
Proceeds from the sale will exceed short-term capital needs for copper business, funding capital projects in Zambia and enabling potential share buybacks or dividends.
Sale was prompted by an unsolicited offer from a conglomerate seeking vertical integration in chrome, reflecting a trend of resource owners acquiring processing capacity.
Letters of support received from institutional shareholders representing 30.42% of issued shares; general meeting to approve transaction scheduled for 28 August 2025.
