Governance updates around the May 5 AGM included appointing July Ndlovu as Chairman, while BlackRock’s stake change and a new corporate video rounded out mostly constructive news flow ahead of this technical report refiling.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement clarified that changes to the Bilboes Gold Project NI 43-101 report were limited to updating authors so they qualify under Canadian rules, with no impact on the project itself or the underlying feasibility study. In context of strong Q1 2026 results—revenue of US$66.43 million and EBITDA of US$33.87 million—the refiling mainly addressed compliance. Investors may watch future Bilboes updates and operational performance metrics to gauge how this project contributes to overall growth.

SAINT HELIER, JE / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2026 / On November 24, 2025, Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc (the "Company") filed the "Bilboes Gold Project Technical Report Summary" with effective date October 31, 2025 prepared by DRA Projects (Pty) Ltd ("DRA") on EDGAR as an exhibit to a Form 6-K Report of Foreign Private Issuer (the "Feasibility Study").
In accordance with Canadian securities regulations, the Company then filed on January 6, 2026 the "Bilboes Gold Project Feasibility Study National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report" with effective date October 31, 2025 prepared by DRA on SEDAR+ (the "Canadian Report ").
Staff at the Ontario Securities Commission (the "OSC") have reviewed the Canadian Report and identified that some of the authors listed by DRA as qualified persons in the report did not meet the definition of a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101. DRA has therefore updated the Canadian Report by replacing those authors with individuals that meet the definition of a qualified person, and the updated Canadian Report, which is entitled "Bilboes Gold Project Matabeleland Zimbabwe National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report", was filed on SEDAR+ yesterday.
Under US mining disclosure rules, DRA is able to act as the sole qualified person and therefore the Feasibility Study is unchanged. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no effect on the Bilboes Gold Project and the aforementioned change is solely to comply with Canadian mining disclosure rules.
