VOLUNTARY PRODUCTION UPDATE

Northam reports an increase of 3.7% in total equivalent refined platinum group metals ("PGMs") produced from own
operations, and an increase of 14.8% in chrome concentrate production, for the 6-month period ended 31 December 2025
("H1 F2026"), compared to the corresponding 6-month period ended 31 December 2024 ("H1 F2025").

Key production metrics from own operations for H1 F2026 compared to H1 F2025 are as follows:

                                                                                H1 F2026      H1 F2025

Equivalent refined PGMs from third parties amounted to 83 448 oz 4E (H1 F2025: 59 743 oz 4E), representing an increase
of 39.7%.

Our operations performed well. Zondereinde is benefitting from logistics decongestion as a result of the ongoing shift of
UG2 stoping from the western to the higher-yielding eastern portions of the mine, as well as an increase in mining
productivity arising from focussed Merensky stoping in the Western extension. Booysendal continues to focus on
productivity and efficiency gains. Eland is making positive progress in its ramp-up programme with improvements achieved
in both square metres and tonnes mined.

At Zondereinde, the ramp-up of stoping continues within the Western extension section. Equipping of 3 shaft for personnel
and material transport, as well as the provision of services, is nearing completion. Reaming of 3a ventilation shaft also
continues. Both shafts are scheduled for commissioning during the first quarter of the 2026 calendar year. This will deliver
sustainable efficiency benefits to mining in the Western extension. Pilot drilling of 4 shaft, which will be a rock hoisting shaft,
is complete, and reaming has commenced.

At Booysendal, decline development is continuing in order to increase mineable reserves and operational flexibility.

At Eland, ore production from underground mining is ramping up. In addition, the reconfiguration of the mine's ventilation
circuit has enabled multi-blast conditions, which allow accelerated decline development rates. Focus remains on strike and
raise development in order to increase mineable reserves. The ongoing ramp-up of stoping is improving feed volumes and
grades to the concentrator, and further enhancements to the concentrator circuits are yielding additional benefits to PGM
and chrome production.

At the group's metallurgical facilities, upgrades to the base metal removal plant have been completed and the new furnace
slag concentrator is processing slag inventory at a satisfactory pace.
