Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc reported a change in a major shareholding after receiving a notification from BlackRock, Inc. BlackRock’s total interest now represents 6.56% of Caledonia’s voting rights, made up of 4.93% from shares and 1.63% from financial instruments, corresponding to 1,268,587 voting rights.

The direct shareholding covers 953,218 voting rights (4.93%).

Previously, BlackRock’s total position had been notified at 6.57%, so this filing reflects a small adjustment while remaining above the major shareholding reporting threshold.
