Net asset value per Ordinary Share: 75.3 pence.

The NAV per share has decreased by 2.5% versus the unaudited NAV at 29 December 2023 primarily due to a weakening of the Australian Dollar against Sterling together with a fall in the price of Caledonia Mining shares.

Investment Update

The Company's top 10 investments were as follows as a percentage of NAV:

Metals Exploration Plc ("Metals Ex")

In January 2024 Metals Ex announced record annual gold sales of 85,744 ounces from its Runruno Gold mine in the Philippines generating record annual positive free cash flow of US$72.3 million, more than double the previous year.  This strong performance allowed it to pay down the majority of its debt such that net debt at 31 December 2023 stood at US$19.9 million.

Metals Ex also forecast production for 2024 of 74,000 - 80,000 ounces of gold at an All-in sustaining cost of between US$1,175 and US$1,275 per ounce of gold. This should mean that Metals Ex will be able to retire the remainder of its outstanding debt during the first half of 2024.

During January 2024 Metals Ex also announced the first step of its strategy to continue life of the company within the Philippines, once the Runruno Mine is exhausted in two to three years time, through the conditional acquisition of the Abra Tenement. The Abra Tenement is an extensive exploration tenement covering some 16,200 hectares with multiple prospective targets in both gold and copper.

Caledonia Mining Plc ("Caledonia")

During January 2024 Caledonia announced that it had achieved annual gold production at its Blanket gold mine in Zimbabwe of 75,416 oz in 2023, in line with guidance. It also provided 2024 gold production guidance at Blanket of 74,000 to 78,000oz and All-in sustaining cost guidance of between US$1,370 and US$1,470/oz.

Caledonia continues to work on the feasibility studies in respect of the Bilboes sulphide project to determine the optimal implementation strategy for the project. This work includes updating the existing feasibility study for a project producing approximately 170,000oz of gold per annum and work on an alternative phased approach to the project. The Company holds a 1% net smelter royalty over future gold production from the Bilboes project.  Caledonia is also planning to commence exploration at the Motapa project adjacent to Bilboes.
