REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:
The main business activity of the Company during the past six months was the ongoing advancement of its
development programme at the Bengwenyama PGM (platinum group metals) project, in which it holds a
direct 70% stake. The project is strategically positioned in the heart of the world class Bushveld Complex –
the largest source of PGMs globally – in a significant underground mining region with established expertise
and infrastructure.
Southern Palladium has a 70% equity interest in Miracle Upon Miracle Investments (Pty) Ltd ("MUM"), a
South African private company with a 100% interest in the Bengwenyama Project situated within two farm
boundaries – Eerstegeluk and Nooitverwacht.
During the period, the company successfully completed a two-tranche placement at $1.10 per share, issuing
18,181,819 ordinary shares and raising $20,000,000. The company also completed a Share Purchase Plan
(SPP) under which 59,092 shares were issued at $1.10 per share, raising A$65,001.
Southern Palladium is progressing the Definitive Feasibility Study and advancing regulatory approvals. The
staged development strategy positions the Bengwenyama Project for strong economic returns, robust
funding flexibility, and long-term shareholder value creation.
Community Engagement
Southern Palladium is actively engaged with the community, placing a strong emphasis on promoting
inclusivity and project awareness. Ethical inclusion is prioritised, ensuring fair representation through
collaboration with the Bengwenyama Royal Family, Traditional Council, and other community
representatives. Weekly virtual exploration meetings are conducted with two Community representatives.
Additionally, monthly meetings involve extended representation from the broader Royal Family, Traditional
Council, and community representatives. Quarterly feedback meetings are held to give feedback to the
broader community.
As part of Southern Palladium's ongoing community engagement programme, a Soccer Tournament and
Netball Tournament were hosted during the period in partnership with MUM. The 2025 event marked a
significant expansion in participation, with the number of soccer teams doubling from eight to sixteen. New
teams from Ga-Phasha, Mampuru and Malekane joined the competition, broadening community
representation and strengthening regional involvement. The netball competition was similarly well
supported, contributing to a vibrant and inclusive event atmosphere.
The events were well attended by community members. Importantly, tournament-related services were
procured locally, including sanitation facilities, water supply, stadium usage, photography, sound systems
and printing services. This approach ensured that the economic benefits associated with the events were
retained within the host communities.
Southern Palladium congratulates the winning teams and extends its appreciation to all participants and
supporters who contributed to the success of the tournaments.
