EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Minxcon (Pty) Ltd ("Minxcon") was commissioned by Brikor Limited ("Brikor", "the Company" or "the Client") to complete a compliant Independent Mineral and Coal Resource Competent Person's Report ("CPR" or the "Report") with a full mineral asset valuation on the Brikor clay and coal projects (collectively the "Projects") as follows, located in the Gauteng Province, South Africa:-

  • Vlakfontein - stone, clay, coal;
  • Grootfontein - clay, coal, silica sand; and
  • Plant 1 - clay.

Bricks are manufactured at plants located at Plant 1 as well as the nearby Plant 3 site, at which property no mining occurs.

The Report was commissioned in order to comply with regulations of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange JSE ("JSE"), with the purpose to update the Mineral and Coal Resources and re-value the mineral assets. The 12.10(h)(i) Report has been compiled in compliance with the South African Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2016 Edition) ("SAMREC Code"), and the South African Code for the Reporting of Mineral Asset Valuation (2016 Edition) ("SAMVAL Code"). All requirements of the JSE Section

12 Listing Requirements for Mineral Companies, the SAMREC Code and SAMVAL Code have been complied with. The Report has an effective date of 28 February 2022.

The Competent Person deems this summary to be a true and accurate reflection of the full CPR.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

The Projects are situated in the East Rand of the greater Johannesburg region near the town of Nigel.

JSE 12.10 (h) (ii)(iv)(viii)

Brikor is actively mining coal and clay at Vlakfontein, an 85-ha area which is situated 5 km northwest of the town of Nigel on the remainder ("RE") of the farm Vlakfontein 281 IR. A valid mining right, 219 MR expiring on 10 August 2041, is held for Vlakfontein by Brikor through its subsidiary company Ilangabi Investments 12 (Pty) Ltd ("Ilangabi"). A joint integrated water use licence application ("IWULA") with Grootfontein was prepared and submitted on 30 March 2022.

The clays are processed at the adjacent Plant 1 brick making facility. Plant 1 is located on portion ("Ptn") 7 of the farm Draaikraal 166 IR over 236 ha and held by Brikor under mining right 169 MR, which expires on 31 May 2032. The Plant 1 mining right is only applicable to clays and does not include any coal mining rights. A revised Environmental Management Plan ("EMP") was submitted on 13 February 2019 and was approved on 5 November 2019. Study work in support of an IWULA for water abstraction and storage, and waste disposal is underway.

The 457 ha Grootfontein prospecting area - located immediately adjacent to the Vlakfontein Project Area - was converted to a mining right 10059 MR of 96 ha over Ptn 85 Grootfontein 165 IR and Ptn of RE Volgelstruisbult 127 IR. The mining right was granted on 1 December 2020 and executed on 13 July 2021. A letter granting an Environmental Authorisation was received on 15 March 2021. A joint IWULA with Vlakfontein has been submitted. A Section 11 application is under preparation for the transfer of the right into the name of Kopanela Mining (Pty) Ltd ("Kopanela"). In the same manner, all future mining rights will be applied for in the name of Kopanela.

The surrounding areas are dominated by farmlands, particularly dedicated to grazing and agriculture. The Marievale Bird Sanctuary lies in close proximity to these projects. Two wetland areas have been identified
