Investment Update
Bilboes Royalty / Caledonia Mining Corporation ("Caledonia")
On 25 November 2025, Caledonia released the results of its Feasibility Study for the Bilboes Gold Project in Matabeleland, Zimbabwe, which confirmed that a single-phase development of the Project will provide the optimal economic return.
The mine will be based on Proven and Probable Reserves of 1.75 million ounces of gold at a grade of 2.26 g/t with the construction of a 240,000 tonne per month plant utilising BIOX® technology for processing.
Economic Highlights (based on a gold price of US$3,648) are as follows:
· Total Gold Production: 1,511,200 ounces
· Life of Mine: 11 years
· Peak Funding: US$484 million
· All-In-Sustaining-Costs: US$1,061 per ounce
· NPV(8%): US$1,234 million
· IRR: 50.4%
· Payback period: 1.1 years
Caledonia announced its decision to proceed with the project, which is expected to be funded by a combination of non-recourse senior debt, internal equity and flexible instruments (including royalties, streaming arrangements and mezzanine funding). Caledonia planned that the mine would commence production in the second half of 2028 with the first full year of production being 197,000 ounces of gold in 2029.
On 27 November 2025, the Zimbabwe government announced its budget for 2026 which included an increase in government royalties from 5% to 10% of revenue should gold prices be above US$2,500 an ounce. Our initial evaluation suggests that this would reduce our estimates for the NPV by some US$100-150 million. The NPV will also be affected albeit to a lesser degree by an additional change in the rate of capital allowances for tax.
Trevor Steel, Chief Investment Officer of the Investment Manager, Baker Steel Capital Managers LLP commented:
"The Company's 1% royalty on Bilboes is not directly affected by the revised government royalty rate in Zimbabwe. However, it could result in an extension to the financing timetable even though the project remains attractive despite the higher government royalties. Based on the feasibility study production profile, we calculate that the Company would continue to be entitled to approximately US$7 million in royalty payments from the first full year of production at current gold prices. The Company will review the valuation of its Bilboes royalty at the year end taking into account the revised production profile from the feasibility study and the increased gold price since the last valuation in June."
