NORTHAM CONCLUDES A TEN-YEAR OFFTAKE AGREEMENT WITH IVANPLATS

Northam is pleased to announce that it has concluded a ten-year purchase of platinum group metal (“PGM”) concentrate
agreement (“Offtake Agreement”) with Ivanplats Proprietary Limited (“Ivanplats”), a subsidiary of Ivanhoe Mines
Limited (“Ivanhoe Mines”), as published on Wednesday, 8 December 2021, on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

In terms of the Offtake Agreement, Northam Platinum will purchase 20 000 tonnes of PGM concentrate per annum
(“Offtake Volume”), representing approximately 50% of PGM concentrate to be produced from Phase 1 of the Platreef
Project. Ivanplats retains the option to reduce the Offtake Volume by up to a maximum of 5 000 tonnes per annum.
Production from the Platreef Project is scheduled to commence in 2024.

Paul Dunne, Northam Holdings’ Chief Executive Officer, commented “Northam is pleased to have secured
significant future off-take of metal relating to a very important orebody. The Ivanplats orebody is one of a very few
remaining untapped large PGM resources. It is mechanisable and situated in a geographically important area. The
metal content is especially favourable to Northam’s operational requirements and will be complimentary to our own
production profile. The transaction serves to further de-risk Northam’s operations from a mine to market perspective,
providing additional diversification of supply over a ten year period, whilst enhancing the flexibility and utilisation of our
recently upgraded metallurgical processing facilities.”
