HMS BERGBAU AFRICA – NEW CHROME OFFTAKE AGREEMENT
The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") wishes to announce that Mantengu's
wholly owned subsidiary Langpan Mining Co (Pty) Limited ("Langpan") has replaced its
offtaker of chrome.
On 14 April 2022, Langpan, entered into a chrome marketing contract (the "CMC") with
RWE Supply & Trading GmbH ("RWEST") as amended from time to time. Langpan and RWEST
have decided by mutual agreement to terminate the CMC on such terms that all
obligations between them came to an end and were extinguished on 30 April 2026.
The board is pleased to announce that Langpan has simultaneously, with the termination
of the CMC, entered into offtake and funding agreements with HMS Bergbau Africa (Pty)
Ltd ("HMSBA"). HMSBA is a subsidiary of HMS Bergbau AG ("HMSB"). HMSB is an international
commodities marketing company specialising in commodities such as coal products, liquid
fuels, oil and gas, cement, ores, as well as other bulk products and is listed on the Frankfurt
Stock Exchange in Germany.
The new commercial structure with HMSBA is better aligned with Langpan's long-term
development and sales strategy and particularly eliminates the RWEST legacy concept of
unilateral price determinations below prevailing market conditions. Shareholders are
referred to the SENS short form announcement of 28 November 2025, where the Company
commentary on the half year results referenced a negative impact on both revenue and
net profit of R29 million because of this legacy concept. Langpan's new contractual terms
with HMSBA eliminates the possibility of a reoccurrence thereof.
The Board wishes to thank RWEST for its support of Langpan over the years and looks forward
to working with HMSBA in the coming years.
