BlackRock lifts Caledonia Mining (CMCL) voting stake to 6.20% total

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc reports that major shareholder BlackRock, Inc. has notified the company of an increase in its holding that crossed a UK disclosure threshold. On 16 January 2026, BlackRock’s total interest reached 6.20% of voting rights, made up of 5.63% held through ordinary shares and 0.56% through contracts for difference (CFDs), representing 1,197,834 voting rights in total.

Previously, BlackRock’s position was 5.81% (4.12% in shares and 1.68% via financial instruments), so this filing records a shift toward more directly held shares and a modest overall increase in its stake. The disclosure is made via a standard TR‑1 notification of major holdings, as required under UK and AIM rules when significant shareholders cross specified ownership thresholds.
