Production and growth
We aim to increase output and reduce the costs of existing operations, which is part of our existing tactical on-mine plan. We aim to increase production and capacity at the process plant level. Our long-term goal is to explore opportunities to develop and mine our Middle Group resource base.

People
We continue with the strategy to drive down costs by increasing output and labour efficiencies. We intend to reduce our dependency on Anglo American Platinum (AAP) by seeking alternative smelting operations by using the Siyanda Resources facilities.
Costs
The Executive Team needs to ensure that the Human Resources department has sufficient capacity to continue with the overall development of all employees. We aim to further invest in the growth of our
employees and their skills base. This employee growth and development focus should lead to an improved full calendar
operational efficiency.
