Core to the group's operational growth strategy has been the expansion and strengthening of our Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves base. This has been facilitated through the acquisition of quality assets in strategic locations, backed up by robust and ongoing planning processes following best practice in line with the prescripts and principles of the SAMREC Code (2016).

We consider the group's current Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves positions to be of a sufficient scale and quality to support a sustainable production profile in line with our strategic intent.
