Chief Executive Officer's Comment

Mark Learmonth, Caledonia's Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"2025 has been a strong year for the Group, marked by record financial performance, excellent cash generation and continued strategic progress across the business. Revenue increased by 46% to US$267.7 million, profit after tax rose by 193% to US$67.5 million, and net cash generated from operations increased by 82% to US$76.2 million.

At Blanket, we produced 76,213 ounces of gold, meeting our revised increased guidance, while continuing to invest in exploration. The results from our drilling programmes are highly encouraging and reinforce our confidence in the long-term future of the operation.

Beyond Blanket, we advanced our organic growth strategy and made decisive progress with Bilboes, our next mine. The publication of the Feasibility Study confirmed our expectations that Bilboes is an attractive and robust project that has the potential to materially change our production and profit profile and at the same time provide meaningful contributions to Zimbabwe.

Our investment in Motapa, which sits contiguous to Bilboes, forms an important part of our strategy to build a broader production and growth platform in Zimbabwe. Our post-period funding initiatives, together with the proceeds from the sale of the solar plant at Blanket, have significantly strengthened our balance sheet and leave us well positioned to fund growth while importantly maintaining financial flexibility.

We continue to receive strong and constructive support from the Government of Zimbabwe in implementing our strategy. Looking ahead to 2026, our focus is on execution and the strategic objective of becoming a multi-mine producer. Our commitment is unwavering to safety and our people while maintaining consistent operations at Blanket, advancing Bilboes in line with the financing and development timetable, continuing targeted exploration at Motapa, and delivering sustainable value for shareholders, employees and the communities in which we operate. We intend to use the current strong gold price to invest in projects at Blanket to improve operating resilience and contain further upward pressure on input prices."

Safety

Safety remains a core priority for the Group. During FY 2025, the Company reported a fatal accident involving a Blanket employee in September 2025, following an incident related to secondary blasting. The Group remains deeply saddened by the loss and extends its condolences to the family and those affected. In response, management initiated a comprehensive review of safety procedures, controls and training programmes across the operation, with a continued focus on reinforcing safety standards, improving risk management practices and strengthening the safety culture throughout the business.

At Blanket, work is underway to further strengthen the fatal risk management framework, including the enhancement of risk registers, risk standards, and verification and assurance processes. In parallel, the Group has implemented the IsoMetrix electronic SHEC management system to support consistent incident reporting, hazard identification and risk management across its operations. The system went live in December 2025, with training continuing into 2026.

No lost time injuries or fatalities occurred during the Quarter, and the LTIFR for FY2025 was 0.84 per million work hours.

Production

Blanket delivered a strong and resilient operational performance in FY 2025, meeting increased production guidance despite operational challenges experienced during the year. FY 2025 gold production of 76,213 oz was within the revised guidance range of 75,500 to 79,500 oz and broadly consistent with production achieved over the prior two years, reflecting the underlying stability of the operation.

Production in the second half of the year was affected by lower tonnages from higher grade areas, which are being addressed through ongoing mine development, and by an increased incidence of prolonged electricity supply interruptions towards the end of the year. These impacts were partially offset by robust milling throughput and the draw-down of material from the ore stockpile, which helped to maintain overall production levels.

For 2026, Caledonia expects Blanket gold production to be in the range of 72,000 to 76,500 oz^[1], with the quarterly production profile anticipated to be stronger in the second half of the year as higher-grade areas increasingly come on stream.

Capital Expenditure and Investment for Growth

The main capital projects at Blanket in 2025 were the ongoing mine development to provide access to new mining areas and the completion of the new Tailings Storage Facility ("TSF").

On-mine capital development has established critical infrastructure across the 26, 30, and 34 Levels, thereby supporting sustained operations at greater depth. Currently, significant progress is being made on the development of a twin decline system designed to provide enhanced access to the 38 Level. The decline system has successfully advanced to the 36 Level, where the establishment of a mid-level is underway to facilitate production activities below the 34 Level. 5,532 and 22,284 meters of development were achieved for the Quarter and FY 2025 respectively.

The TSF was built on a modular basis to spread the cost over a longer period, and to ensure that the first phase could receive material before the old TSF reached its full capacity. Work on the TSF was completed on July 31, 2025. A second return water dam to support the TSF was commissioned in November 2025.

The Company published guidance on January 14, 2026 for capital expenditure for 2026, in which it stated that guidance may be increased to cater for the construction of a 34km electricity line to connect Blanket to Zimbabwe's 132Kv backbone. This investment is expected to reduce the price of power received from the grid and reduce the incidence of power outages experienced by Blanket, thereby reducing the use of expensive diesel generators and allowing an increase in expected production of about 1,000 oz per annum due to improved operating reliability. The study for this project has been completed, and the Board has approved an amount of $14.2 million for this project. Work is expected to commence immediately, and the project is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2027. The Board has also approved additional capital expenditure of $2.2 million to convert the winder at Central Shaft from Alternating Current (AC) to Direct Current (DC) operation. This work should be done over the December 2026/January 2027 period and is expected to realise cost savings of approximately $0.6m per annum.

^{* The capex relates to Blanket only.}

Total Group capital expenditure for FY 2026 is projected to be US$178.9 million, reflecting the Group's commitment to sustaining production at Blanket while advancing its growth pipeline.

This comprises:

• Sustaining capital of US$43.0 million, largely focused on Blanket.

• Growth capital of US$135.9 million, including:

  • US$132.1 million allocated to the Bilboes development project, subject to Board approval and funding; and

  • US$3.8 million for exploration at Motapa, reflecting the Group's focus on longer term value creation and synergies with Bilboes.

Costs

During FY2025, total production costs for the Group increased to US$101.3 million (FY 2024: US$80.7 million), primarily reflecting inflationary pressures on labour, consumables and power, increased underground development activity at Blanket, and continued investment in operational reliability and safety. Blanket accounted for the majority of production costs, while costs at the Bilboes oxide operation remained modest and consistent with prior periods.

On a unit basis, the Group reported a consolidated on-mine cash cost of US$1,263 per oz sold and an AISC of US$1,952 per oz sold, which were marginally above the guidance ranges of $1,150 - $1,250 and $1,850 - $1,950, respectively. The increased on-mine cost per oz reflects the increased on-mine costs and the effect of the reduced grade which fell from 3.2g/t to 3.07g/t.

Administrative expenses increased to US$20.5 million (FY 2024: US$15.7 million), reflecting higher employee costs, professional and advisory fees, and ongoing investment in governance and compliance. Despite these increases, strong gold prices and ongoing focus on cost control delivered significant margin expansion, and management believes the cost base remains appropriate to advance the Group's long-term growth strategy. Measures such as the 132Kv power line and the conversion of the Central Shaft winder from AC to DC operation are expected to realise cost savings from 2027 onwards, but these savings are likely to be counterbalanced by further increases in costs arising from the provision of living accommodation for the workforce at Blanket which has increased significantly in recent years.

Sales

Gold sales during FY 2025 reflected both stable production levels and a significantly higher gold price environment, resulting in strong revenue growth and margin expansion. The Group sold a total of 79,075 ounces of gold during the year (FY 2024: 77,917 ounces), primarily from Blanket, with additional contribution from the Bilboes oxide operation. Gold sales volumes were broadly consistent year-on-year, demonstrating the underlying reliability of the Group's operations.

Average realised gold prices increased materially to US$3,383 per oz (FY 2024: US$2,347 per oz), driving revenue growth of 46% to US$267.7 million. The higher realised price more than offset cost inflation and supported a substantial improvement in profitability and cash generation. Management believes the combination of consistent sales volumes and exposure to a supportive gold price environment positions the Group well to continue generating strong margins while funding ongoing operations, dividends and growth initiatives.

Underground Mining and Processing

During FY 2025, underground milling and processing activities continued to support production delivery at Blanket, as reflected in total gold production of 76,213 oz for the year. Q4 2025 was impacted by crew moves to new areas as production areas in the upper levels reached the end of their life span. Some delays in bringing the crews into production in the new areas resulted in lower than planned tonnages from these areas, adversely affecting the overall grade for the Quarter. Production from the new areas remained under pressure in January and February 2026 but has improved in March 2026.

Processing related costs, including consumables, electricity and maintenance associated expenditure, increased year on year, consistent with higher inflationary pressures and increased underground development activity. Expenditure on processing and plant related infrastructure formed part of the Group's ongoing capital investment programme aimed at sustaining operational capacity and supporting future production requirements.

Exploration and Resource Development - Blanket

During 2025, the Group continued its underground resource expansion drilling programme at Blanket, completing 6,976 metres of drilling. Results returned grades and widths that were generally better than expected relative to the current mineral resource model.

The programme confirmed the continuation of the Blanket and Eroica orebodies at depth to beyond 36 Level (1,230 meters below surface) and demonstrated the extension of the Lima orebody to 30 Level (990 meters below surface) from 22 Level (750 meters below surface), which is the lowest level of mining on the Lima orebody. The deep drilling program continues to reinforce confidence in the long-term production profile and life of mine extension potential at Blanket.

Surface exploration activities at Blanket have identified an anomalous area of gold mineralisation located approximately 200 meters to the east of the Sheet surface shaft. The area was trenched to obtain sample material for assay and follow up reverse circulation drilling commenced down to a depth of 40 meters below surface. Currently, assay results are pending from external laboratories although indications from selective assaying at the Blanket laboratory appear positive. Future updates will follow once assay results are received and processed during the first half of 2026.

Motapa Exploration - Investing for Future Growth

During 2025, the Group continued to invest in exploration activities at the Motapa property, recognising its potential to deliver long term, value enhancing synergies alongside the development of Bilboes. Motapa is a brownfield exploration asset located adjacent to Bilboes and is considered strategically important as part of the Group's broader ambition to establish a multi asset gold production hub in Zimbabwe. Exploration expenditure during the year was directed towards advancing geological understanding and supporting longer term growth optionality.

Exploration during 2025 was focussed on the sulphide mineralisation below the historical oxide open pits at Motapa North and for near surface oxide mineralisation at the eastern portion of the Motapa central trend known as Mpudzi.

For 2025, the following was achieved:

• Surface Diamond Drilling

  • 1,564 meters drilled from 18 drillholes (2024: 4,255 meters from 27 drillholes).

  • 1,317 samples for fire assay submitted and received.

• Surface Reverse Circulation Drilling.

  • 18,325 meters drilled from 196 drillholes (2024: 5,461 meters from 61 drillholes).

  • 12,460 samples for fire assay submitted and received.

The results from the exploration activities are expected to produce a maiden mineral resource estimate for the sulphide mineralisation of the Motapa north trend during the second quarter 2026.

Looking ahead, US$3.8 million has been allocated to Motapa exploration as part of the Group's 2026 growth capital programme, reflecting management's continued commitment to disciplined investment in exploration while maintaining financial flexibility. Planned work programmes are designed to complement the Bilboes development timetable and to build a pipeline of potential future opportunities that could enhance mine life, operational flexibility and regional scale over time. The exploration activities for 2026 are focussed on the continual exploration of the near surface oxide potential of the Mpudzi area and the exploration of the sulphide mineralisation of the Motapa South trend below historical oxide open pits. Management believes that Motapa represents an attractive exploration opportunity within the Group's portfolio, aligned with its long-term growth strategy.

Bilboes Gold Project - Our Next Mine

In November 2025, Caledonia published the Feasibility Study and approved the Project for development. The Feasibility Study informs a single‑phase development, proven and probable mineral reserves of 1.75 million oz of gold contained in 24.1 million tonnes of ore at an average grade of 2.26 grams per tonne, and a life of mine of 10.8 years.

The Project is expected to produce approximately 200,000 oz of gold in its first full year of production, with first production anticipated in late 2028. The Feasibility Study demonstrates robust economics, including a post-tax NPV (8% real) of US$582 million and a post-tax IRR of 32.5% at consensus gold price assumptions at the effective date of the Study ($2,548 per oz), with materially higher returns at prevailing spot prices.

During early 2026, Caledonia successfully completed a US$150 million convertible senior notes offering, receiving net proceeds of approximately US$130 million, significantly strengthening liquidity and providing flexibility to advance Bilboes while maintaining capital discipline.

The Company also implemented a gold price hedging programme, securing a minimum price of US$3,500 per ounce on 3,000 oz per month from January 2026 to December 2028, underpinning cash flows during the peak Bilboes capital investment period.

Caledonia continues to progress discussions regarding an interim funding facility of up to US$150 million and plans to commence a formal project finance process during 2026. The hedging programme referred to above provides a floor price for lenders when they evaluate their participation in the interim facility. In February 2026, the Group appointed Stanbic Bank Zimbabwe (a member of Standard Bank Group) and CBZ Bank Limited as co-lead arrangers for the interim funding facility.

Diesel and Operational Continuity

The recent geopolitical developments in the Middle East have had no impact on Caledonia's operations to date. Diesel, of which the Group consumes approximately two million litres per annum, represents less than 3% of operating costs, and the Group has secured supplies of over one million litres, providing substantial buffer and supply certainty. Zimbabwe sources its fuel from both the Middle East and South Africa. Importantly, reliance on diesel has significantly fallen over the last few years: diesel accounted for 8% of the Group's power in 2020, but has reduced to only 2% last year, supported by around 20% of total power requirements being met by solar power.

At present Caledonia is selling its exported portion of gold through South Africa (rather than the Middle East), ensuring uninterrupted revenue flows for that portion.

These factors collectively underpin strong operational resilience despite external geopolitical developments.
