Caledonia Mining Corporation FY2025 Earnings Call - Gold Rally Funds Bilboes Push, $150m Convertible Secured

Moderator, Call Moderator, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Welcome to the Caledonia Mining quarterly and full-year results 2025 presentation for analysts and investors. I would now like to hand you over to Mark Learmonth, who is the CEO. Mark, over to you.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Good afternoon and welcome to this management conference call. If we could move to the first slide of the presentation, please. Just go to the disclaimer. That’s the standard disclaimer. If we could move on to the next slide, please. Presenting team. There’s me, Mark Learmonth, Caledonia’s Chief Executive. We’re also joined by Ross Jerrard, who will run us through the financial performance for the year. Victor Gapare, who will talk to us about what’s happening at Bilboes. And Craig Harvey will give us an update on the various exploration initiatives. If we could move on to the next slide, please. Just in terms of the summary of the results, it was very strong financial performance, underpinned by a higher gold price and some consistent operating delivery.

Revenue up by 46% to $267 million. Gross profit up by 78% to $137 million. EBITDA up by 100% from just less than $60 million to just over $125 million. Profit after tax up by 200% from $23 million to $67 million. There’s some quite big numbers there. Ross will unpack those numbers in more detail in a moment. Should we move on to the next slide, please? Before we go much further, can we briefly discuss Caledonia’s value creation proposition? From one angle, what we see here is looking at this from the perspective of our distributions in country to government by way of taxes and royalties, and also to our local shareholders.

Over the course of the last nine years, we’ve distributed just over a quarter of a billion dollars. We’re making a very, very substantial contribution. You can see quite how that increased in 2025 as a result of higher taxes due to higher profitability, higher royalties due to the higher gold price, but also an increase in local dividend payments to our local minority shareholders as a result of the strong financial performance and the unwinding of certain local ownership initiatives. That’s very pleasing to see. Moving on to the next slide. As well as paying a quarter of a billion dollars out to local stakeholders, we’ve also delivered a very significant return to our shareholders.

The top line shows Caledonia’s share price over 10 years with dividends, and we’ve given a return of just over 1,000%. Over the same period, GDXJ has increased by 464% and gold up by 300%. As well as making significant contributions locally, we’re also delivering a very healthy return for our shareholders. Should we move on to the next slide? Right. Let’s just quickly focus on the operating results. Clearly, we had a very unfortunate fatality in September as a result of a secondary blasting incident.

As a result of that, we initiated a comprehensive review of our safety practices and our safety procedures, our operating controls, and our training programs across the entire business, with the objective of improving our risk management and making sure that we operate as safely as it’s possible to do in a very hostile underground environment. That includes instilling operational discipline, a proactive forward-looking approach to identifying hazards and avoiding such hazards, and embedding a zero harm culture across the organization. Should we move on to the next slide? What we see here is the usual graph. The top graph shows our tons milled and grade. The bottom graph, the bars show the ounces, and the line shows the recovery.

What’s notable really on the top graph is that the tonnes milled has been stable. We’re pretty much operating the plant, the metallurgical plant as the crushing and milling and the CIL plant, pretty much operating that at maximum capacity of about 820,000 tonnes a year. That’s been very stable, largely because we’ve been able to make use of the stockpile to draw down from the stockpile on those rare occasions when the mine hasn’t been delivering the tonnes. Also what’s clear from the lower line is the extent to which the grade is lower in quarter four and quarter three than it has been historically. Part of that is due to the fact that temporarily we’re mining lower grade areas.

As we’re developing into high grade areas, that will, we expect, reverse into the second quarter of 2026. In the first January, February, we’re still mining relatively low grade areas. That has improved in March. Also to some extent, as we’ve been drawing down from the stockpile, the stockpile itself is relatively low grade. The bottom chart clearly shows the ounces, but it shows the drop in recovery, and that is largely due to the lower feed grade. The tail grade that we deposit onto the tailings facility, pretty much it’s 0.2 grams a ton. We’re not gonna get much better than that. Inevitably, that means that the recovery goes down. Can we move on to the next slide?

Craig will talk in a lot more detail about exploration towards the end of the presentation. Our exploration activities at Blanket are really targeted with replacing what we’re depleting. We’re effectively standing still. Nevertheless, we’ve actually done rather better than that. Over the course of the year, over the course of quarter four, you can see that we added quite substantially more tons than we depleted. As James, as Craig will explain later on, that will, in due course, result in a revised reserve and resource statement for Blanket. Shall we move on? Right. I’ll now ask Ross if he could run us through the financial results. Ross, could you do that?

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Thank you, Mark, and good afternoon, everyone. Before we dive into the financial results, I just wanted to draw your attention to the format of the reporting. As previously advised, Caledonia is now classified as a foreign private issuer under Canadian rules. The standard filing requirements in Canada that you’ve historically seen has changed. We will be filing our full financial statements under the SEC rules, so included in our 20F, which is scheduled to be filed in April, you’ll see the full financial statements and controls attestation. That’s all gonna be done in April. I’m delighted to talk you through the financial results today and, you can see on the summary slide in front of you, we’ve had a fantastic year.

The performance was really driven by the benefit of the higher gold price environment, but also delivering the ounces. Blanket Mine produced 76,000 ounces of gold in 2025 and sold 77,000 ounces. The Bilboes oxide operation produced and sold 1,683 ounces of gold. So together they totaled at 79,000 ounces on the top right hand of the chart. Importantly, to highlight our on-mine costs were up some 19%. The unit costs were marginally above those cost guidance ranges that we had guided the market.

This was really a reflection of the restriction of access to some of the higher grade areas, but also some inflationary pressures and our continued investment in development to ensure long-term operational reliability and safety, but also that grade profile. With grade coming through slightly lower than we had originally anticipated, that did have a flow-on impact on our unit costs, just slightly above what we had guided. The overall result though it was a very pleasing financial result with EBITDA up 109% to $125.3 million, which was a significant improvement.

After our capital expenditure, which was largely on track to guidance, when you take into account some commitments that will roll over year-end, we delivered on our CapEx profile. All resulting in healthy free cash flow of $62 million, which was up some 483% on the prior year. After our distributions resulted in an earnings per share, which was at $2.83, which again was up over 200% for the year. A very pleasing set of financial results. Just diving into a little bit more on production costs, if we can turn to the next slide, please.

You can see on the bottom right-hand pie chart the makeup of our production cost categories, which is largely driven by labor, consumables, and power, indicated with the blue, orange, and green slices, and then a little bit, 10% across admin. You’ll see in the figures our overall production costs went up 25% across the group. 19% was an increase in Blanket. Really those were driven by those three buckets of labor, consumables, and power. Our labor costs were up this year again due to higher overtime payments that were made during the year and production bonuses together with some wage inflation.

Really the delivery of the ounces needed to was a result of more volume being moved and hoisted to compensate for that lower grade. As a result, we had to pay that overtime and the various bonuses that came through the system. Our consumables were up some 14% for the year. This was driven by some of the inflationary impacts on consumables, reagents, and the like. There is a ZIG premium in terms of local procurement. There’s been a big push this year in terms of deploying our local ZIG component back into the market. With that, there is a slight difference with the ZIG versus US dollar differential in terms of the local market.

I would highlight that it’s been a very pleasing year in terms of foreign currency. The differential between the ZIG and the US is very close now. We’re not seeing the high differentials that we’ve seen in the past. But it has meant that as we’ve taken a strategic decision to deploy into the local procurement market using ZIG, we have incurred an additional premium in terms of that ZIG to US dollar differential. We’ll talk a little bit more about the overall Forex loss when we talk through the cash flows. That has been a driver in terms of our consumables. Our power costs, there have been grid and genset power overruns, which has been really driven by supporting that additional output.

We’re obviously mining in deeper areas within the mine, driving higher power usage and requirements, and obviously incurring more power. We do have initiatives in place that we will address these three buckets as part of our ongoing costs initiatives to ensure that we can at least well reduce or at least maintain our cost profiles in those significant buckets. Moving on to the next slide, please. You’ll see the results as we work our way through the profit and loss. Top line revenue up at $267 million driven by those ounces and the higher gold price that I’d spoken to. Our royalty this year was up at $13.5 million.

That is driven by the higher revenue number. I would draw your attention to the change in the royalty rate. As we deliver ounces at over $5,000 an ounce, they do attract an additional 5% royalty charge. Our production costs, as already indicated, are up some 25%, and depreciation charges were largely unchanged. We’re very pleased with our gross profit that was generated, up some 78% for the year, driven by those improved margins and thanks to the gold price. You’ll see the net foreign exchange losses was down from $9.7 million down to $3.3 million this year.

That was a very pleasing result in terms of the exchange differential that we had historically seen, and we’re very pleased with the ability to access the willing buyer, willing seller market. The $8.5 million is the profit on our solar plant. I won’t talk to that. We’ve gone through that in previous results presentations, but it was pleasing in terms of being able to sell that asset, generate proceeds that we could then deploy across the group. I would draw your attention to the administration costs, that $20.48 million. That is higher than historical run rate and general trending that we see going forward.

This year we have incurred some quite significant one-off fees, predominantly around our advisory fees, related to the convertible, some additional employee costs that have gone through the system, and some other transaction costs that we don’t see ongoing, and we think that run rate will come off by some 10%, 12% to more closer to a $17 million type number on a per annum basis. We’ve incurred a fair value loss on our derivative financial instruments. Those are the hedging instruments that we put in place to protect our site, our mine and the gold price at a $3,500 gold price. Those hedging instruments are really put through the P&L.

We don’t do any hedge accounting, or anything that is nuanced to that extent, so everything goes through the profit and loss. We were delighted with the ultimate profit before tax of $106 million, up 162%. The tax expense was higher off this great result, but also included the capital gains tax on the solar plant sale, which pushed up that tax expense a bit more than a normal run rate. Delighted with our P&L result with an overall profit for the period of $67.5 million. If we can move on to the next slide, please. Let’s quickly touch on some of those aspects from a cash flow perspective.

Our cash flow from operations was up at $105 million, up 90%. I’ve spoken to interest and tax payments, which included that solar sale. Our CapEx was on track in terms of what we had guided the market in terms of expenditures. The proceeds from the sale, the gross proceeds from the solar sale were able to be deployed into our treasury operations, where we deployed those into various fixed-term deposits during the year. We’re able to allocate central treasury and start our treasury function as we look to Bilboes and beyond. Ultimately, our net cash used in investing activities was able to then be deployed across some dividends paid.

The $19.9 million was a result of dividends paid both to our CMC shareholders of $10.8 million, but also to G. Scott and NIEEF, our various partners at the Blanket Mine level in terms of deployment. They got $5.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Ultimately, a very pleasing close to the period with a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $32 million for the year, which was a great result. If we move to the next slide, you’ll see our overall liquidity and what it means is that we exited the year with cash on hand of $35.7 million.

If you add in our bullion on hand at year-end, plus some gold sales receivables and our fixed-term deposits, before utilization of facilities, we had almost $60 million available to us, and a total liquidity of just under $55 million. Very pleasing result and a very solid position in terms of our performance for the year. On top of that, in early 2026, we were able to successfully complete a $150 million convertible note offering, whereafter, implementing a capped call structure, we received a net $130 million.

Post-year-end, we’re in a very healthy cash position, as we look to further development of Blanket, but importantly as we start our deployment and our spend on our Bilboes project, which I’ll talk to in a couple of minutes. Moving on. I’d mentioned that CapEx was largely on track, and you’ll see our various expenditures that were aligned with guidance. Nothing that stood out in terms of where we spent the money. Ongoing sustaining capital expenditure was really about underground mine development, where we spent 22% of the CapEx budget. That was really development and looking at new mining areas and underground developments targeting additional reserves and resources. 31% of the spend was sitting in the engineering department.

That covered the whole bouquet of electrical, mechanical, and central shaft upgrading and engineering. Then there was 27% that went across the other mining departments in terms of mines, milling, and the MRM department. Our only non-sustaining CapEx project was the tailings storage facility, and that accounted for 20% of the CapEx spend. Turning to the next slide, you’ll see the slice of where those various spends occurred in terms of sustaining and non-sustaining split. We were pleased that we were able to deliver those CapEx projects and continue to invest in the mine for the future with some solid cash flow generation. If we move to the next slide, please. Closing off on CapEx.

You will see in the announcement that there’s been some additional CapEx approvals by the board. Our total group capital expenditure for this financial year, 2026, is projected to be $178.9 million. The two key projects that were approved last week by the board was a $14.2 million construction of a $34 million power line connecting to the 132 KV backbone and a $2.2 million dollar allocation against the central winder for the central shaft, converting it from AC to DC. Both projects are great projects with quick payback periods and really underwriting some solid reliability in terms of power usage at the mine. Also some imperative upgrades in terms of the underground mine.

We’re looking to the future, investing in the future, and making sure that some of these critical projects are delivered. Over and above that, sustaining CapEx, we have $136 million allocated, primarily against Bilboes, where $132 million is anticipated to be spent against both the feed phase, but also some early deployment of expenditures against the Bilboes project. Then, just shy of $4 million, which is further exploration at Motapa project. If we can move to the next slide, please. We’re delighted that the results of 2025 have delivered a solid performance, and we’re continually looking at that balance of our capital allocation in terms of both growth projects and shareholder returns.

As you can see in the CapEx that we’ve both delivered and plan to deliver, we’re looking at growth for the future and investing in that future for the long term, but equally conscious of our shareholder returns. We’re delighted to have another dividend, a quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share. Dividends have been paid since 2012. We continue with that continued payment of dividends and balancing both growth and shareholder returns. I’ll just draw your attention to the key dates in terms of that dividend payment. If we can switch to the next slide, please. I’ll now take the opportunity to hand it across to Victor to talk a little bit more about Bilboes.

Howie Flinker, Analyst/Investor0: Thank you, Ross. Could we move to the next slide? With regards to Bilboes, we’ve previously announced that the board approved this project implementation in November last year. Basically, all the parameters which are in there, we’ve announced them before. An IRR of 32.5% at a gold price of $2,548. Obviously, these, the returns are materially higher at prevailing spot gold prices. Can we move on to the next slide? Basically what we’ve shown here are really the economics at three different prices.

The consensus forecast of $2,548 per ounce, the three-year trailing average price of $2,350 price, and the price at which was on 10th March 2026, which was $5,177 per ounce. Obviously, there’s been some volatility in the price of gold. Those figures at the end there, you can put any price you want and you can come up with different margins. Clearly you will see that the economics changes quite significantly if we apply the current economics. That’s all we’re showing. Effectively what we’ve done is we’ve started implementing the project following approval.

As Ross has said, we’ve appointed an EPCM contractor, and that work has started. The plan is to have the first gold pour towards the end of 2028. Our first year of full production will be 2029, which would be at just about 200,000 ounces per year. That’s peak production. Can we move to the next slide?

Ross will cover the funding aspects, what we have done and what we’re planning to do. Ross, over to you.

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Thank you, Victor. Our funding strategy for Bilboes is covered four funding pillars, and we’re delighted with our progress in terms of how we’re tracking against that strategy. The first phase was underwriting our Blanket production and securing a series of put options at a price of $3,500 per ounce that covered a 3-year period from January 2026 to December 2028, effectively the construction period. The key elements of that hedging strategy was really to provide a floor to the cash flows that were generated.

It wasn’t giving up any upside in terms of gold price above $3,500, but it did enable us to basically earmark the best part of $200 million from our own operations that we could deploy against the Bilboes project. At prices closer to $5,000 an ounce, that $200 million escalates to closer to $300 million. It’s a core cornerstone strategy in terms of using our current asset on the portfolio to underwrite the strategy. It also helped us in terms of our pricing discussions with the various banks and financial institutions in terms of how we’d sort of take on our various debt facilities.

The second step, as you’ve seen, and previously mentioned, is the raising of, some funds from a convertible note offering. It was a $150 million raise. It was upsized from $100 million, due to some amazing demand out of the US, and we’re delighted with the result that we were able to receive, those funds in short order. We were able to also allocate some of those funds against a capped call structure which, effectively increased the conversion price to $56 a share, up from the $40 a share. Those two steps, one and two, have been completed and, has enabled us to be able to move forward in short order in terms of the remaining funding facilities.

The first one is an interim financing facility, so we’re currently in negotiations with a consortium of both Zimbabwean and South African banks to raise $150 million facility. You would have seen the announcement in terms of appointing Standard Bank and CBZ as co-lead arrangers for that facility, and we’re targeting the middle of this year to get that facility in place. The cornerstone of that is against, again, the Blanket mine cash flows. In parallel with that, the fourth arm is really the project finance facility. A longer burn rate in terms of getting that facility in place. That formal process has commenced, and we’re expecting that to be delivered in the next 12 months with the various due diligence procedures.

We’re very pleased around where we’re positioned with it, what we’ve done to date in terms of underwriting that financing strategy, and we’re on track in terms of the discussions with the various banks and financial institutions. If we turn to the next slide, we’ll just illustrate our, I guess, our thought process and the overview in terms of our sources and uses and actually how we believe that this funding requirement will be met. I’ll refer you to the right-hand side of the slide in the first instance in terms of the use of funds. You’ll see our capital cost is basically $485 million.

When you add in our capitalized interest and some working capital, the ask is closer to $600 million in terms of a package. On the left-hand side, you’ll see the column at $3,500 an ounce, and you can see together with our cash and our net proceeds from the convertible bond and our forecast future cash flows, the ask from a senior debt and other facilities is just over $300 million in terms of delivery of those funds. If we move that pricing deck up to $5,000 an ounce, you’ll see that senior debt and other facilities reduces down to closer to $170 million.

We’re well on track in terms of getting that funding in place between both the interim and the wider project finance facilities. We’re really pleased in terms of the status of the financing work stream. Importantly, we’ve got some big spend that is coming up, so we need to deploy the best part of $130 million in the third and fourth quarters of this year as we start the more significant spend on the Bilboes project. We’re excited about that, well on track with that, and I think it’s all coming together very nicely. With that, I’ll hand it across to Craig Harvey.

Craig Harvey, Exploration Manager, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Thank you, Ross. I’ll just give you an overview of the exploration activities that have been taking place at Motapa and Blanket in the past year. If you could go on to the next slide, please. 2024 and 2025, Caledonia’s put quite a lot of money into Motapa. I mean, we have drilled surface drill holes totaling just under 30,000 meters. It’s a very strategic asset. As we can see on the map on the screen, it’s located directly to the south of the Bilboes project, which we have just heard about. That kind of scale from Motapa North to Bulawayo is between 200-400 meters away. I think we can all draw, you know, our own conclusions as to the synergies between Bulawayo and Motapa.

Bearing in mind, it’s basically hosted in the same shear zone. Mineralogy, metallurgy is expected to be quite similar. Going forward for 2026, we have had a further allocation of $3.8 million exploration. We will continue looking at Mapudzi, and we’re going to focus on Motapa South for the year. Clearly there is potential for a sulfide resource below the historic open pits, but at the same time, there’s a strong potential for oxides to the east. We have put in two drill holes to have a look. Results were encouraging. Things to look out for at Motapa, during Q2 2026, the company will be publishing a maiden resource estimate.

We are just waiting for some of the final QA/QC checks of the data and geological interpretations to be complete. In all likelihood, during Q2 of 2026, we will see what the drilling activities have actually given us. If you can move on to the next slide, please. During 2025, there’s been a continued deep hole or long hole exploration program at Blanket. Just to give you an overview of the areas that we are drilling. On the northern side of the property, which is to the left of the image, there where you can see Lima, it’s the Lima and Eroica ore bodies. To the south on the right of the image, it’s the mainstay of the mine. It’s the Blanket and, the Blanket Quartz Reef ore bodies.

I will zoom into a bit more detail on each of these areas. If you could move on to the next slide, please. On the Blanket side, where we’ve got essentially a whole bunch of ore bodies that come together, AR South, the Blanket Quartz Reef, and the Blanket ore bodies. The Blanket ore bodies are Blanket One through to Blanket Six. Of course, we’ve also got Blanket Seven now. What is important to note here, so I’ve got a grade legend on the side of the map there, and really what you want to be looking for is the little purple stripes that you see coming off from those drill hole traces. Anything that is purple there is 5 gram a ton plus.

Now, in the next month or two, again, we’re just finalizing some QA/QC checking from the lab, but we will be putting out a press release regarding the drilling results that we’ve done at Blanket, and that will give people insight into the widths that we encounter in these grades. Very, very exciting. 34 level is the base of the Blanket mine currently. We are putting a decline, as you can see there, from 34 to 36 level. It’s on 36 level at the moment. We are starting with the 36 level in infrastructure development. What is key to note, 34 level, you know, 1,110 meters below surface.

The deepest hole there that we have represented with those little blue, those little purple stripes, is 277 meters below 34 level. Now, 277 meters below 34 level equates to a depth of approximately 1,350 meters, which equates to a 42 level. Our kind of main levels are set up 34 to 38, 120-meter lifts apart. We are quite clearly looking at all things being equal. There’s another 2 main lifts at Blanket that we are going to have a look at. Very, very encouraging. We carry on doing the work.

Just to give a bit of reference, if you had to move to the south, to the right of the image, we’ll be putting in another hanging wall drill cubby to create another fan of drill holes in due course adjacent to these holes. This is kind of at the limit of our inferred resources. Clearly, with this drilling coming in, we will be looking at upgrading inferred to indicated as Mark, the CEO, has indicated, with a view to upgrading mineral resources and mineral reserves in due course. If we can move on to the next slide, which then focuses on the northern portion of Blanket Mine.

On the very left, the very northern portion, the little bit of colorful goods that you see there, stopes is the Lima ore body, and in the middle is the Eroica ore body. Now, Eroica has been a mainstay. Why you only see a couple of drill holes there is the majority of this area was drilled during 2023 and 2024. You can already see some of the development that’s accessing these areas. The majority of this area is now indicated resource. But you can also see that there’s a long hole that’s also maybe 60 meters below 34 level. Currently on a 36 level type horizon.

Clearly, as we advance, 34 level, we’ll have a hanging wall cubby put in place, and we will continue drilling on the Eroica ore body from 34 level down to 42 level. On the left-hand side with Lima, again, you can see some of those little purple stripes, which represents 5 gram a ton plus. One hole on purpose we pushed down to around the 34 level mark to test the depth to see that we’re not wasting our money. We did pick up the Lima ore body, but Lima itself is not one single ore body. It’s made up of six ore bodies. There’s a lot of scope to continue doing this. The lowest level of mining on Lima is at 750 meters below surface.

You can just work out for yourself, if we take it down another 250 to 300 meters, you know, we talking 22 level to 34 level of mineral resources that may be exploited. Again, below 22 level, it’s inferred resources on Lima. With the drilling coming in, we will be looking at including it and seeing if we can upgrade some of the inferred resources into an indicated resource or better. In a nutshell, Blanket keeps on going. The grades still looking good. The grades, the widths, we obviously model what we are expecting to find with our drilling, and it continues to return similar, if not better, results at depth. Thank you for that. With that, I’ll hand back to Mark to give some closing comments.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Good. Thank you, Craig. We’re kind of running out of time, so I just want to draw your attention to an event that we hosted on the fringes of the Cape Town Mining Indaba in February. Us, along with five or six other foreign-owned Zimbabwean mining companies, hosted a briefing event where we invited representatives from the Zimbabwe government, so Minister of Mines, Minister of Finance and the Reserve Bank. The objective was to try and dispel some of the pervasive continuing misunderstandings about what it’s like to operate in Zimbabwe.

It was very well-attended, and the way the representatives of the Zimbabwean authorities engaged in a very transparent, constructive way with the audience, hopefully is a first step of many to trying to overturn some of these misunderstandings about Zimbabwe. That was very good. Can we move on to the next slide? Just to finish and move on to questions. Clearly our strategic focus after the fatality last year is to continue commitment to the safety of our people. Objective to maintain reliable and operations at Blanket which, let’s face it, is gonna be an important generator of capital for the construction of Bilboes.

As you’ve heard from Craig, it has very significant long-term extension plans in its own right. Leverage the strong gold price to invest in Blanket’s projects to create operating resilience and to mitigate further input cost pressures. Moving along with Bilboes as quickly as we can in terms of the financing and development plan, and to continue to explore at Motapa, which in due course we think will be a very exciting project. All of those together really mean that we’re continuing to execute our strategy to become a multi-asset Zimbabwe-focused gold producer. I think that’s the end of the presentation. Can we open it up to questions, please?

Moderator, Call Moderator, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Thanks very much, Mark. If I could just remind people if they’d like to ask a question, if they could please use the Raise Hand button that’s at the bottom of your screen. We’ll just pause for a few seconds, just wait for people to raise their hands, in order to ask a question. Our first question is going to be from Howie Flinker. Howie, I’ve unmuted you. Please, unmute yourself, and then please ask the question to the team.

Howie Flinker, Analyst/Investor: Can you hear me now?

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Yep.

Howie Flinker, Analyst/Investor: Uh, what is-

Yes

The maturity of the convertible bond? I have another question, too.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: It is, I think it’s seven. Is it seven years, Ross? It’s a slightly longer dated maturity than most convertibles. That was specifically so that it matures outside the timing of the scheduled repayment of the project finance. Ross, is it seven, or was it slightly longer?

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Seven years.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Seven years.

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Yeah.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Okay.

Craig Harvey, Exploration Manager, Caledonia Mining Corporation: 33.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Yeah. Next question, Howie.

Howie Flinker, Analyst/Investor: Yeah. Aaron, I thought the solar plant was in Jersey, so it would be tax-free.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Yeah. That would be a big mistake because it’s often not very sunny here.

Craig Harvey, Exploration Manager, Caledonia Mining Corporation: No, I thought the ownership was there and it was tax-free. What’s the capital gains rate on that?

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Ross, could you help?

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: It ended up being $2 million, so and there was a combination. Some of it was on a total capital gain, and there was a profit element, but it was $2 million.

Howie Flinker, Analyst/Investor: Oh. What is the tax rate on the loss on the derivative? Is that a regular tax rate or something different?

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: No, all the derivatives are held outside. They’re all held here in corporate. It’s 0% for the derivatives because they’re sitting in Jersey.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: I think for practical purposes, it would be very difficult or impossible to structure a derivative holding through Zimbabwe. I think having to go through the various RBZ approval processes would just fly in the face of being able to. You gotta, when you decide to do these things, you do them very quickly, and to have to pause for RBZ approval would just make it impossible.

Howie Flinker, Analyst/Investor: The effective tax rate on the derivative pre-tax and post-tax is the same, right? Zero taxes.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Zero.

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: That’s right. That’s right.

Howie Flinker, Analyst/Investor: Yeah. Finally, I’m gonna say this is pretty thorough financial accounting. Nice job.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Thanks.

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Thank you, Ross.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Thank you. Thank you, Ross.

Moderator, Call Moderator, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Thank you very much for your question.

Nick Hinman, Analyst/Investor: You’re welcome.

Moderator, Call Moderator, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Harry. We’ve got our next question from Joseph Parish. Joseph, would you like to go ahead?

Joseph Parish, Analyst/Investor: Yes. Great presentation. It anticipated some of my questions, so this will simplify things a bit. Only thing I really had left to ask was has to do with power cost. You know, the solar plant, of course, was intended to keep those contained. You know, with the recent conflict in Middle East, right, there’s some temporary increases in fuel and energy prices. Depending on how long this goes on and maybe just, you know, with the higher operating cash flow you’re enjoying on the mine, would further investment in solar plant facilities at Blanket become a higher priority as you’re looking at these? Or are these something that is being cons-

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: No.

Joseph Parish, Analyst/Investor: No?

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: No, no, it wouldn’t. Let’s just deal with our exposure to fuel. We’ve got Blanket uses about 2 million liters of fuel a year. Approximately half of that is diesel generators. The other half is used on diesel equipment in the business. Last year’s diesel price-

Joseph Parish, Analyst/Investor: Mm-hmm

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: that represents about 3% of our OpEx, so we’re not particularly exposed to diesel in our operating costs. In terms of supply, we’ve got just over six months of supply, either on the property or on consignment stock. We’re not particularly exposed there. The problem with solar is that when the sun doesn’t shine, you don’t get solar, and the particular issue we face right now is that the way electricity gets through the grid to Blanket means that the last sort of 30-odd km goes through a pretty poorly maintained 33 kV line, which typically has bigger reliability problems when it’s rainy.

You got the combined effect of rain, which means that you’ve got a higher chance of power interruptions from the grid, and also it means that the solar plant’s not working very well. The two issues kind of compound each other. What we’re doing is we’re putting in a 132 kV line which we expect will reduce the average incidents of power outages from, say, 30 hours a month to an average of, say, 3 hours a month. That will reduce our reliance on diesel. To the extent once you’re connected to the 132 kV line, that gives you much more flexibility to access power both in Zim and in the region where there is no shortage of power.

Frankly, solar kind of compounds the problem, doesn’t solve the problem. The simple answer to your question was no, I’m afraid.

Joseph Parish, Analyst/Investor: Okay. Well, I appreciate the detail. I’m sure investors will appreciate it as well. Thank you.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Okay.

Moderator, Call Moderator, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Thank you. We’re going to take our next question from Mike Kozak. Mike, unmuting you. Please go ahead.

Mike Kozak, Analyst/Investor: Yeah. Good afternoon, guys. You hear me okay?

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Yep.

Mike Kozak, Analyst/Investor: Great. Two questions from me. First one, sustaining capital for this year, it looks like it increased from $27 million-$43 million, and you did a good job explaining where that money’s going. I didn’t flag any change to the 2026 all-in sustaining cost guidance that you guys set a couple months ago. I think between $2,100-$2,300 an ounce. Are you gonna stick with that range or can I-

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Oh, that’s clearly fallen between the gap in that we got the board approval a couple of days ago for the extra CapEx, and clearly, I guess that should flow through into.

Mike Kozak, Analyst/Investor: Okay

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: all-in sustaining cost. Is that correct, Ross?

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: That’s right. We’re just looking at timing, Mike, in terms of when some of that will actually drop. While the projects are being approved, we’ve just got to see when they’re scheduled to be paid.

Mike Kozak, Analyst/Investor: Okay. Got it. Thanks for that. My second one, if I back out from your earlier quarterly results from last year, I should say, it looks like Q4 you recorded a derivative loss of around $4.8 million, I think.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Mm-hmm.

Mike Kozak, Analyst/Investor: Is all of that related to the put options you guys bought in December or is there something else going on there?

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Yeah. It’s all to do with the puts.

Mike Kozak, Analyst/Investor: Got it.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Let’s be clear, the point of the puts, gold, even with the current volatility, the gold price is much higher than the put price. The point of the puts, as I think Ross outlined, just to reinforce the point, is it creates a floor price for the purposes of the Zim banks in terms of putting together the interim funding facility. It is still strategically important to us.

Mike Kozak, Analyst/Investor: Oh, you know, for sure. For my own numbers.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Yeah

Mike Kozak, Analyst/Investor: I want to know what to adjust out for and.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Yeah

Mike Kozak, Analyst/Investor: What to expect in future quarters.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Okay.

Mike Kozak, Analyst/Investor: I just wanted some clarity on that. I appreciate it, guys. Thank you.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Good. Thank you, Mike.

Moderator, Call Moderator, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Thank you. We’ve got our next question from Nick Hinman. Nick, please go ahead.

Nick Hinman, Analyst/Investor: Hi, everybody.

Moderator, Call Moderator, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Hello.

Nick Hinman, Analyst/Investor: Usually I’d like to spread around the questions. The first is for Craig, I think. Craig, it does look encouraging what you’re doing, but coming back to Blanket Mine, is the other, the recons between what you’re actually getting out of the mine at the moment, adhering to what you would have expected from your ore reserve models?

Craig Harvey, Exploration Manager, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Hi, Nick. Yes, they are. Q4 was affected by a couple of forced moves that we had to make. We could not access the areas as quickly as we would have liked. We were forced into maintaining production out of kind of some lower grade, some medium grade areas. As we all know, in mining, you know, trouble always hits your higher grade areas and people see it. Yes, it’s maintaining what we are expecting.

Nick Hinman, Analyst/Investor: Okay, excellent. I think the next question is for Ross or sets of questions. Ross, it’s the usual one. Have you repaid your facilitation loans to your non-controlling interests? I’ll have a few more, but the second question with that is how many dividends did you distribute from Blanket? Eventually you get some numbers here. It wasn’t quite clear.

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Yeah

Nick Hinman, Analyst/Investor: the type of projects there.

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Nick, maybe I’ll do it the other way around. There was $60 million of dividends that were declared in 2025 from Blanket. Not all of that equated to actual cash move. There was an opening balance and the timing of the payments post period. But it was $60 million and there’s a $5 million rollover with $44 million paid during this year. High-level $60 million, but there were some timing differences in terms of the cash flows. BETS repaid its facilitation loans in the Q4 2025.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Just because that’s the employee trust.

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: That’s employee trust, sorry. NIEEF has got about half a million dollars left on it to be repaid.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: NIEEF is the government beneficial shareholder. Yeah.

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Yeah.

Nick Hinman, Analyst/Investor: From now on they’ll be securing their share of the dividends from now on.

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: That’s right. Yeah.

Nick Hinman, Analyst/Investor: One of the questions about the loss on the derivatives that you’re recording, and obviously this is a moving piece because you’re marking it to a price at the end of the period. Do you have a sense of what that number would be if you were to take today’s price? What sort of loss would you be recording?

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: I haven’t looked at it today. I mean, that range and the actual valuations range quite considerably as we do the pricing because it’s a delivery of a put option each month for the next three years. It’s

Nick Hinman, Analyst/Investor: Mm-hmm

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: you know, it’s not a prima facie, well, we under the 3.5, they’re all written off on day one. There is a value that goes up. No, I don’t have the price for you today, especially after today’s gold price.

Nick Hinman, Analyst/Investor: No, I just thought you might have an idea of sensitivity. The last question is, you’ve started to accumulate some cash and near cash equivalents and you’ve got some deposits being made here.

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Yeah.

Nick Hinman, Analyst/Investor: What do you think you need in terms of keeping Blanket solvent and keeping the rest of the business lubricated with cash? What do you think is the minimum residual cash that you should have on hand at any one time, or cash equivalents on any one time?

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: I did. Well, selfishly, from a CFO perspective, I’d rather have a little bit more in the back pocket than normal. Anywhere between $30-$50 million I think would be a healthy position, particularly on the projects that are coming through the system. We’ve got a large amount now. It will be deployed. I think having that sort of quantum on balance sheet just gives us some protection in terms of where we’re going.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Ross, do you mean cash or do you mean liquidity? That’s not quite-

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Liquidity in terms of facilities, yeah.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Yeah.

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Yeah.

Nick Hinman, Analyst/Investor: Okay. Then, just on the operational side, there was a discussion previously about a buildup of ore stocks. Now you’ve run them down again because to meet the requirements at the end of this last period. Is your strategy still to rebuild those stockpiles?

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Yes. Yes. One of the things that we’ll be introducing in the middle of the year is a new shift system at Blanket. It’ll do two things. First of all, it’ll introduce seven-day working at the mine as a standard, and that is pretty common now across the mining industry in Zimbabwe. That, and the drilling and blasting only currently takes place six days a week. That should result in an extra day of drilling and blasting if we can get the stuff trimmed and hoisted. In the ordinary course of events, that should give rise to an extra 100,000 tons a year. In the short term, we’ll be using that to accumulate a stockpile to see us through the hiatus relating to the AC-DC conversion.

Currently the central shaft works AC, the central shaft winder works AC. We’ll be converting that to DC for safety reasons and also for cost reasons. That will result in the central shaft not being able to hoist for a period of 2-3 weeks. We do need to make sure that we’ve got a healthy stockpile at the end of the year to see us through that. Very much there is the intention over the course of this year to build stockpiles. Once we’re confident that the shift system is working and we’ve got adequate stockpiles, then clearly we’ll be looking at what we need to do to address and use the extra production, increase our milling capacity. That’s a work in progress. At this stage.

Nick Hinman, Analyst/Investor: Okay

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: At this stage, I can’t tell you what the costs of increasing that milling capacity would be and what the effect on OpEx would be.

Nick Hinman, Analyst/Investor: Okay.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Let’s just focus on getting the shift system in, delivering the ounces, getting and delivering the extra tons, building the stockpile to see us through the AC-DC conversion. Then for next year, there will be the hopefully the story about how we’re going to convert that into increased ounces. It’s premature to say that at this stage.

Nick Hinman, Analyst/Investor: Okay, excellent. Thank you. The final question for Victor here. In 12 months time, you will have spent circa $130 million on Bilboes. What will you have in place by the end of the period? What is your project gonna look like on the ground?

Howie Flinker, Analyst/Investor0: Okay. Thank you, Nick. What we are really doing is placing orders, long lead items is what we’re basically doing most of this year, towards the end of this year. That’s really what we’ll be doing. We’ll probably have some contractors moving in at the end of the year, but really most of the money we are spending this year it’s on orders on the long lead items.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: That means very little physically to see?

Tinashe Dumar, Analyst/Investor, Equity Axis: Yeah.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Mm.

Tinashe Dumar, Analyst/Investor, Equity Axis: Very little to see. The only thing you’ll see there are contractors moving in and starting to do some work.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: This will be in the form of prepayments then really, will it?

Tinashe Dumar, Analyst/Investor, Equity Axis: Prepayments and deposits, yeah. Yeah.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Okay. Excellent. Thank you very much.

Tinashe Dumar, Analyst/Investor, Equity Axis: Okay.

Moderator, Call Moderator, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Thank you. Our next question is from Tatenda Zewanora. Please go ahead.

Tatenda Zewanora, Analyst/Investor: Hi, can you hear me?

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Yep.

Tatenda Zewanora, Analyst/Investor: All right. I just have three questions. The first one, can you explain more about the consortium facility, as in which banks in South Africa you are quoting, and what is their level of interest in supporting the company given the 15% non-resident tax which resumed this year? Could you explain that? That’s my first question.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: The 15% non-resident tax? I mean, Ross, are you able to answer that?

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: No. Well, not specifically for the banks, but we’ve got two South African banks and then the Zimbabwean banks that are participating. Half a dozen banks that we’re talking to for the interim facility. Yes, we’ve been pleased with the, I guess, the appetite to participate in such a facility with those banks. No, we haven’t had any negative connotations or discussions from that perspective. Then our PF facility is the African banks in terms of AFC-

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Ross, if we-

Ross Jerrard, Chief Financial Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: You know, Afreximbank that we’re talking to in a similar positive feedback.

Tatenda Zewanora, Analyst/Investor: Okay. My second question is, PGM companies have reported substantial amounts of their ZIG portion of the export proceeds are being trapped at the RBZ. I think there was complaints from Zimplats and Veltera, and I wanted to find out if Caledonia is facing such a problem with their ZIG portion of the export proceeds being trapped at the RBZ.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: No. Absolutely not.

Tatenda Zewanora, Analyst/Investor: All right. My final question is, has your outlook changed in terms of the gold prices which you’re expecting for the year given the geopolitical tensions happening in the Middle East right now?

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Are you asking if we’re gonna adjust our production level? Is that the question?

Tatenda Zewanora, Analyst/Investor: Yeah. Considering that, you know, the commodity market.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: No

Tatenda Zewanora, Analyst/Investor: has become volatile.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: No.

Tatenda Zewanora, Analyst/Investor: Owing to those geopolitical tensions.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: No. The mine plan is pretty much set. I mean, we can’t just arbitrarily increase and reduce production. The objective is to mine, to optimize operating efficiency and keep the mills full. What you could do is you could adjust your cut-off grade. If you thought the gold price was gonna be much higher, you might reduce the cut-off grade so you can perhaps mine more material that would be less attractive in the low gold price environment. No, the current gyrations aren’t giving us any thoughts about changing our overall approach to the mine plan and our mining schedule.

Tatenda Zewanora, Analyst/Investor: All right. Thank you.

Moderator, Call Moderator, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Thank you for your question. Next question is from Tinashe Dumar. Please go ahead.

Tinashe Dumar, Analyst/Investor, Equity Axis: Can you hear me?

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Yes.

Tinashe Dumar, Analyst/Investor, Equity Axis: Oh, okay. Nice presentation and, nice performance as well. Great performance. My question is, how much of this year’s performance is genuinely operational? I’m talking about the period under review. How much of its performance is genuinely operational and, how much is simply gold price leverage? I concur that its production at Blanket was broadly flat and while gold prices surged by 34.4%. From that, I could argue that your earnings were largely price-led rather than execution-led. What concrete evidence can you give that the business can protect margins and sustain cash generation if the gold price normalizes?

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Okay. One of the things we perhaps didn’t make clear enough is you’re quite right. In 2025, a lot of the good performance was driven by the high gold price. One of the things that we are doing, we have seen quite significant increases in costs at Blanket. If you look back over a five-year period, in 2020 Blanket’s all-in sustaining cost was $784 an ounce. Last year it was $1,280. People need to understand that Blanket now is a very different mine from what it was in 2020. We’re hoisting significantly more material from much deeper. In 2020 we were hoisting all of our material from 750 meters below surface.

Now we’re hoisting most of our material from 1,200 meters below surface. Inevitably that means that you’re gonna be using more electricity even before you start taking account of the incremental need to use electricity for improved ventilation. In terms of employees, if you look at the pointy end of the business, that’s the people involved in the mining, the underground tramming, the hoisting, the people involved in the milling, we’re actually handling more material, more tons per person now than we were 5 years ago. Our costs have gone up, and that’s, you know, if you look at our consumable cost, we’re pretty much using less in the way of inputs like grinding media, cyanide, drill steels.

We’re using fewer kilos of that per ton milled, but every year-on-year, we’ve seen our costs such as the costs of steel balls, which we use in the ball mills, they’ve gone up on average 10% per annum over each of the last five years. The cost profile has gone up. What we’re doing now is we’re focused on trying to reduce dollar costs. In particular, the first three initiatives are targeted at electricity. The 132 KV line, the AC/DC conversion, they are expected to give rise to significant cost reductions over the course of the coming three years. In addition to that, we’re trying to use electricity more intelligently.

We’re trying to reduce our overall power consumption by just being clever, more clever about how the way we use electricity. The shift system that I referred to earlier on has got two aims. The first is to reduce worker fatigue by reducing the overtime. A reduced overtime will clearly then reduce some of our labor costs because overtime is clearly the premium rate. The other thing, a lot of those cost reductions I expect may well be given away in terms of further increases in costs that we know we’re going to experience over the next three years or so, particularly in terms of providing better quality housing for the workers.

The only way I can see that we can get sustainably reduced costs at Blanket is to increase production. As I’ve mentioned, we would expect as a result of the shift system that introducing seven-day week working weeks instead of six-day working weeks is to harvest more tons, which should give rise to more ounces, which should mean that our costs are spread over you know over more ounces and therefore get the cost down. That’s not gonna happen quickly, but over the next three years I would be hopeful that as a result of the combination of those packages, we can begin to get the cost down.

Don’t for a minute think that Blanket is gonna go back to being a low-cost producer at $784 an ounce. It’s not. The only way for a deep level, relatively low-grade mine like Blanket to be sustainable. Blanket’s 126 years old this year, and we want to keep it running. As you’ve heard from Craig, there’s plenty of potential to extend Blanket’s mine life by going deeper, and the only way we can do that is continuing to invest to improve resilience and lock in economies. That’s a long answer to a fairly short question. Which I hope answers your question.

Tinashe Dumar, Analyst/Investor, Equity Axis: Yes. Thank you. I have been answered. I am Tinashe from Equity Axis, by the way. Thank you. That is enough for me.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Okay. Let’s be clear. The word, the phrase I used is escaping forwards. From pretty much any mine in Zimbabwe which is facing, you know, rising cost pressures, the only way to counter that is to escape forwards through growth, and that’s what we’re looking for over the course of the next three years. Okay. Any further questions?

Moderator, Call Moderator, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Thank you very much. That concludes the questions that we have at the moment. Mark, I’d like to give the floor back to yourself for any closing remarks.

Mark Learmonth, Chief Executive Officer, Caledonia Mining Corporation: Okay. Well, clearly it was a good year financially as we’ve identified, largely driven by the gold price. We’re focused very much on Bilboes, turning that to account. That will be a game changer, not just for Caledonia, but also for Zimbabwe. We’re not neglecting Blanket. As I think the comments at the end of that Q&A session made very clear, we are focused on using this high gold price to invest in Blanket both to try and tickle up the gold production, but also to lock in resilience and efficiencies. That’s gonna be a three-year exercise. It’s not gonna be a quick turnaround. Hopefully we’ll clearly keep stakeholders informed as we move along.

Thank you very much for your attendance, and we’ll be putting out our Q1 results in about six weeks’ time in the middle of May. Okay? Thank you all very much.
