West Wits Mining (WWI) Noosa Mining Investor Conference summary

Project Overview and Operations

• Qala Shallows, part of the Witwatersrand Basin Project near Johannesburg, is fully operational with all mine infrastructure in place and is the first new underground gold mine in South Africa in 15 years.

• The mine is ramping up production, with ore delivered to the plant for toll treatment under an agreement with Sibanye-Stillwater's Ezulwini Plant.

• Modern mining methods, including hydropower, are being implemented, and a stockpile is being built.

• The project is designed for long-life, low-cost, scalable gold production, aiming for a 17-year mine life and steady-state output of 70,000oz per annum from 2028.

• The mine is expected to employ 1,000 local workers, supporting strong community relations and leveraging a skilled workforce.

Financials and Funding

• Market capitalization has grown from $70 million to $200 million in under a year, with over $12 million in the bank.

• Fully funded to sustainable production through equity, Nebari loan, ZAR 875M syndicated facility, and additional loans including $12.5 million from Nedbank and up to $50 million from Absa Bank and IDC.
