The AISC guidance also includes high sustaining capital expenditure for the year. The capital expenditure investments aim to modernise operations and improve mining efficiency at Blanket. While there will be short-term cost pressures, the long-term goal is to reduce costs, improve profitability and operational resilience and extend Blanket's mine life thereby ensuring the continued success of Blanket. Expenditure will be funded from cash generation and cash reserves with no anticipated impact on the regular quarterly dividend.
WEBCAST
The Company will host a remote presentation for analysts and investors on its operating and financial results for the Quarter on Monday, November 10, 2025 at 2:00pm London time, followed by an opportunity to ask questions.

(Q3 2025 vs Q3 2024)
Production and sales
Gold production at Blanket for the Quarter was 19,106 oz, higher than the 18,992 oz produced in Q3 2024. The increase was due to higher tonnes milled of 212,504 tonnes, marginally offset by a lower grade. Gold production excludes approximately 2,788 oz of gold contained in the ore stockpile at the end of the Quarter.
Blanket sold 20,355 oz in the Quarter. This represents a
Production guidance range for 2025 remains 75,500 to 79,500 oz [1].
Underground mining
Tonnes broken and hoisted in the Quarter increased to 229.5 thousand tonnes and 208.7 thousand tonnes, respectively, compared to 228.0 thousand tonnes and 202.3 thousand tonnes in the comparative quarter after the introduction of revised management structures in late 2024 which increased the direct supervision of underground mining, tramming and hoisting activities. Tramming activities also improved due to reduced downtime of tramming equipment and the better synchronization of tramming crews.
The improved rate of mining and hoisting in the Quarter exceeded milling capacity, which meant that at the end of the Quarter 34,968 tonnes of ore were stockpiled on surface (Dec 31, 2024: 8,487 tonnes) representing approximately 15 days of target mill throughput. Management intends to maximise mine production to further build the ore stockpile to create a buffer to absorb unforeseen interruptions to mining activities and to allow milling to continue uninterrupted during scheduled engineering work on winders and shafts.
Processing
Tonnes milled in the Quarter increased to 212.5 thousand tonnes from 206 thousand tonnes in the comparative quarter. Tonnes milled in the Quarter equated to an average throughput of 86.6 tonnes per hour (“tph”), compared to the anticipated rate of 85 tph.
The grade for the Quarter was lower than target due to higher waste dilution because of narrower orebody widths on the extremities of some orebodies, the completion of mining in high grade free gold orebodies and the moving of mining crews to new areas. This necessitated the plant to use its sprint capacity to achieve target gold production for the Quarter.
EXPLORATION PROJECTS
Caledonia’s exploration activities are focused on Blanket and the Motapa project.
Blanket
Underground Exploration
Deep exploration drilling continues at Blanket primarily targeting the down dip continuations of the Eroica, Blanket and AR South mineralised zones below the lowest production level of the mine, 34 level. In addition to these zones, drilling has commenced on the down-dip continuation of the Lima mineralised zone. The Lima zone comprises up to 6 individual mineralised zones with drilling targeting these zones between 26 and 34 level of Blanket.
Results of the drilling program continue to be highly encouraging for the continuation of the mineralised zones beyond 34 level with intersected grades and widths generally higher than included in the life of mine plan. Further results from the deep drilling at Blanket are anticipated to be published during the fourth quarter of 2025. The drilling may potentially upgrade confidence in the mineral resource classification from inferred to indicated mineral resources.
Surface Exploration
During the Quarter, Blanket embarked on a surface trenching program within the mining lease area of the mine, targeting the identification of potential near surface mining opportunities.
13 trenches to a depth of 1.50 metres and totalling 2,294.7 meters were excavated at an area termed “K-Pits”. Trenches were sampled every 1.0 meter along the full length of the trenches. All sample assays were conducted at the Blanket laboratory.
Results from the trenching have identified anomalous gold values at surface in an area of approximately 53,000 square metres, located approximately 270 metres to the east of the Sheet orebody of the underground mine.
As a result of this, Blanket commenced a 5,000-metre reverse circulation drilling program at the end of the Quarter with the intention to confirm the continuation of the anomalous zone below surface and to determine the oxidation level of mineralisation down to a depth of 40 metres below surface.
Results from the trenching and drilling program are expected to be published during the first quarter of 2026.
Motapa
After the encouraging results from the 2024 exploration programme, as announced on November 11, 2024, in terms of strike width, length and grade, a further US
The 2025 exploration programme for Motapa encompasses the following:
- 25,580 metres of reverse circulation drilling; and
- 1,780 metres of diamond drilling.
To the end of the Quarter, the following has been completed:
- 17,787 metres of reverse circulation drilling; and
- 1,763.4 metres of diamond drilling.
Results continue to be within expectations. Upon completion of the 2025 drilling campaign, expected to be late in the fourth quarter of 2025, drilling results are expected to be released pending all assays being received from the independent laboratories in country.
It is expected that a maiden resource will be declared for a portion of the Motapa property during the first half of 2026.
Bilboes
Caledonia has been progressing work on a feasibility study which is due to be released imminently. A summary of the feasibility study is expected to be published very shortly and the full study is expected to be published before the end of November.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
The main capital projects are ongoing mine development to provide access to new mining areas and the completion of the new tailings storage facility (“TSF”).
On-mine capital development includes the infrastructure which will allow for three new production levels (26, 30 and 34 levels); a fourth level (38 level) is to be added in due course via a twin decline that commenced in February 2024. 5,624 meters of development were achieved in the Quarter against a plan of 5,314 meters.
The TSF is being 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 commenced in March 2023, the first phase of the project was completed at the end of February 2024 and deposition on the new TSF commenced on October 30, 2024. All of Blanket’s tailings have been deposited on the new facility from the beginning of 2025. Work on the TSF was completed on July 31, 2025. A second return water dam is currently under construction to support the TSF.

Examples of forward-looking information in this document include: production guidance; estimates of future/targeted production rates; plans and timing regarding further exploration, drilling and development; the upgrading and conversion of mineral resources; capital and operating costs; future dividend payments; the release of the Bilboes feasibility study; the release of a mineral resource estimate for Motapa and the development of the Bilboes project. This forward-looking information is based, in part, on assumptions and factors that may change or prove to be incorrect, thus causing actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by forward-looking information. Such factors and assumptions include, but are not limited to: failure to establish estimated resources and reserves, the grade and recovery of ore which is mined varying from estimates, success of future exploration and drilling programs, reliability of drilling, sampling and assay data, assumptions regarding the representativeness of mineralisation being inaccurate, success of planned metallurgical test-work, capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals, changes in government regulations, legislation and rates of taxation, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of projects and other factors.
Security holders, potential security holders and prospective investors should be aware that these statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to: risks relating to estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources proving to be inaccurate, fluctuations in gold price and payment terms for gold sold, risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining (including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected geological or structural formations, pressures, power outages, fire, explosions, landslides, cave-ins and flooding), risks relating to the credit worthiness or financial condition of suppliers, refiners and other parties with whom the Group does business, inadequate insurance, or inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks and hazards, employee relations, relationships with and claims by local communities and indigenous populations, political risk, risks related to natural disasters, terrorism, civil unrest, public health concerns (including health epidemics or outbreaks of communicable diseases such as the coronavirus (COVID-19)), availability and increasing costs associated with mining inputs and labour, the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining or maintaining necessary licenses and permits, diminishing quantities or grades of mineral reserves as mining occurs, global financial condition, the actual results of current exploration activities, changes to conclusions of economic evaluations, and changes in project parameters to deal with unanticipated economic or other factors, risks of increased capital and operating costs, environmental, safety or regulatory risks, expropriation, the Group’s title to properties including ownership thereof, increased competition in the mining industry for properties, equipment, qualified personnel and their costs, risks relating to the uncertainty of timing of events including targeted production rate increase and currency fluctuations. Security holders, potential security holders and prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information. By its nature, forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and various future events will not occur. Caledonia reviews forward-looking information for the purposes of preparing each announcement; however, Caledonia undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking information whether as a result of new information, future events or other such factors which affect this information, except as required by law.
This news release is not an offer of the shares of Caledonia for sale in the United States or elsewhere. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the shares of Caledonia, in any province, state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such province, state or jurisdiction.
