Sibanye-Stillwater Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves declaration as at 31 December 2025

Johannesburg, 17 February 2026: Sibanye-Stillwater (Tickers JSE: SSW and NYSE: SBSW) is pleased to report attributable Group Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves as at 31 December 2025.

The declared Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves for the Group's managed operations and projects are the outcome of a detailed annual operational and life of mine (LoM) planning process and are indicative of the considerable underlying mineral assets base which supports sustainable, long-life production. In addition, attributable Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves are also declared based on our legal interest in non-managed mineral properties.

This Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves declaration represents a condensed and consolidated summary of the full Sibanye-Stillwater Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves declaration, which will be available in the Group Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Report. The report will be published on 24 April 2026 at www.sibanyestillwater.com/news-investors/reports/annual/.

  1. Salient features
  • 4E PGM Mineral Resources of 177.3Moz (-2.0%) and Mineral Reserves of 29.4Moz (+4.7%) at our SA PGM operations
  • The inclusion of the Marikana E4 mechanised UG2 project Mineral Reserves added +2.9Moz to Mineral Reserves following the completion of a feasibility study
  • 2E PGM Mineral Resources of 80.9Moz (+2.2%) and Mineral Reserves of 19.4Moz (+2.1%) at our US PGM operations
  • Gold Mineral Resources of 36.4Moz (-25.5%) and Mineral Reserves of 9.4Moz (-6.3%) at our SA gold operations (including DRDGOLD) and development projects (including Burnstone)
  • At the Kloof operation, production constraints, including geotechnical considerations which led to the removal of isolated blocks of ground, have impacted the economic viability of the operation, leading to a writedown of the majority of the Mineral Reserves (-1.4Moz)
  • Uranium Oxide (U3O8) Mineral Resources of 59.3Mlb (+0.1%) and Mineral Reserves of 25.2Mlb at our SA gold operations
  • The maiden uranium Mineral Reserve is based on the completion of the Cooke TSF feasibility study
  • Lithium Mineral Resources of 510kt lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) (-24.0%) and Mineral Reserves of 248kt (unchanged)
  • The change in Mineral Resource is informed by the disposal of our interest in Ioneer Ltd (-201kt) and an updated Mineral Resource estimate at the Keliber lithium project (+40kt) in Finland following successful exploration
  • Zinc Mineral Resources of 963kt (-17.4%) and Mineral Reserves of 308kt (-44.2%)
  • Informed by the ongoing depletion of the tailings Mineral Reserve at the Century operation, which now has ~18 months of reserve life left
  • Copper Mineral Resources of 5,500kt (-31.1%) and Mineral Reserves of 478kt
  • At the Mt Lyell copper project in Tasmania, Australia, the completion of the feasibility study has resulted in a maiden Mineral Reserve under Sibanye-Stillwater
  • At the Altar project in Argentina, a reduction in project ownership (40% to 20%) following a further earn-in by Aldebaran Resources, has resulted in an attributable Mineral Resource reduction (-2,478kt)

The Mineral Resources were largely stable, only impacted by mining depletion. Noteworthy is that the Kroondal and SRPM Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves have been consolidated under SRPM due to the amalgamation of the operations.

A detailed reconciliation of the 2024 to 2025 SA PGM operations Mineral Reserves is shown in the table below.

For the Mineral Reserves, apart from depletion (-1.8Moz), the following aspects informed the changes:

  • Marikana operation, where the E4 Mechanised UG2 project, for which a feasibility study has been completed, has been included in the Mineral Reserves for the first time (+2.9Moz). This project is a capital efficient, high margin, shallow, mechanised room and pillar,  brownfields opportunity
  • The inclusion of the Marikana KTD1 TSF (+0.6Moz)
  • Minor adjustments due to geological interpretation, estimation methodology, economic valuation and a change in modifying factors (-0.5Moz)

The change in the Mineral Resources, apart from mining depletion, were principally driven by: 

  • Kloof operation, due to the exclusion of Mineral Resources below 35 level (due to 7 shaft closure) and the exclusion of the majority of high-grade VCR Resources due to rock engineering constraints
  • Driefontein operation, due to the exclusion of inaccessible areas relating to infrastructure constraints at 8 shaft
  • DRDGOLD, with the removal of the Daggafontein TSF due to being reclassified as a depositional site; and the Grootvlei TSF due to regulatory and legal  considerations

A detailed reconciliation of the 2024 to 2025 SA Gold operations Mineral Reserves is shown in the below table.

For the Mineral Reserves, apart from depletion (-0.6Moz), the following aspects informed the changes:

  • Kloof operation, where production constraints, including geotechnical considerations which led to the removal of isolated blocks of ground,  have impacted the economic viability of the operation, leading to a writedown of the majority of the Mineral Reserves (1.4Moz)
  • Driefontein operation, where the depletion (0.2Moz) was offset by one year life extensions at 4 shaft and 5 shaft (0.3Moz)
  • Beatrix operation, where the LoM was extended by three years through the inclusion of below infrastructure mining, an extension into the Vlakpan area and a reduced production rate
  • Cooke operation, where the gold content from the Cooke TSF uranium project is included for the first time following the successful feasibility study
  • DRDGOLD, where the Daggafontein TSF (0.7Moz) was excluded, and the Crown Complex (1.1Moz) was added

A feasibility study into the re-commencement of construction at the Burnstone project is ongoing, with a decision expected during 2026. As part of this work, the Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates were revisited, leading to minor upward adjustments, largely relating to a change in geological domaining and mine design and scheduling.

Aldebaran Resources Ltd (Aldebaran), the operator of the project, has acquired an additional 20% interest in the Altar project, after satisfying the requisite earn-in expenditure threshold, bringing its total interest to 80% (up from 60% as at 31 December 2024). Following this, the Group's combined attributable interest of 31.47% (48.61% in 2024) derives from a 14.34% equity interest in Aldebaran and a direct 20% (40% in 2024) project level interest. This has led to a reduction in attributable Group Mineral Resources.

Noteworthy is that Aldebaran has completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) during the year for an open pit mining operation of what is one of the largest undeveloped copper Mineral Resources worldwide.

The increase in Mineral Resource is due to ongoing, successful exploration activities which led to the identification of further mineralisation at the Leviäkangas and Tuoreetsaaret deposits. This prompted a Mineral Resource estimate update (+40kt). In parallel, adjustments have also been made to our  Mineral Resource cut-off grade (reduced to 0.18% Li2O), to bring it in line with the latest estimated mining cut-off grades.

 

The Mineral Reserves at the Syväjärvi and Rapasaari open pit mines for the first 18 years of the production are unchanged.

The year-on-year change in Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves were driven solely by mining depletion of the finite TSF Mineral Reserves. The TSF will be depleted by mid-2027, and the Group is studying commercial options (regional phosphate mining partnerships) to extend the life of the significant fixed infrastructure which includes a processing plant, pipeline, port facility and maritime shipping vessel.

The Class 2 feasibility study into the reopening of the historic Mt Lyell mine in Tasmania has been concluded, leading to a maiden copper-gold Mineral Reserve. The project envisages a 3Mtpa operation, with an initial 23 year LoM, producing approximately 26ktpa of copper and 16kozpa of gold in concentrate.

 

  1. Corporate governance

This Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources declaration represents a condensed and consolidated summary of the full Sibanye-Stillwater Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves declaration, available in the Group Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Report.  The report will be published on 24 April 2026 and will be available at www.sibanyestillwater.com/news-investors/reports/annual/.

The Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves are estimates at a particular date, and are affected by fluctuations in mineral prices, exchange rates, operating costs, mining permits, changes in legislation and operating factors. 

Sibanye-Stillwater prepares and reports its Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves in accordance with the SAMREC Code, the updated Section 12 of the JSE Listings Requirements, and the SEC regulation S-K Sub-part 1300. For non-managed mineral properties, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves are in certain cases prepared under different codes, such as JORC and NI 43-101. These codes are closely aligned with SAMREC, and form part of CRIRSCO (Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards). Therefore, the estimates are deemed to be consistent with SAMREC and S-K1300.

Production volumes are reported in metric tonnes (t). By-product metals that do not constitute material contribution to potential revenue flows are typically excluded from the estimates, but are included in the economic assessments. 

All financial models used to determine the managed Mineral Reserves are based on current tax regulations as at 31 December 2025. Rounding of figures may result in minor computational discrepancies. Where this happens, it is not deemed significant. 

There are Competent Persons (CPs), designated in terms of the respective national reporting codes, who take responsibility for the reporting of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves at the respective operations and projects. Corporate governance on the overall compliance of the Group’s figures and responsibility for the generation of a Group consolidated statement has been overseen by the Group's lead CP, included below. The Group has the written confirmation of the lead CP that the information, as disclosed in this report, is compliant with the relevant security exchanges’ listing requirements (Section 14 of the JSE listing requirements, SAMREC Table 1 and the US SEC SK1300), and that it may be published in the form and context in which it was intended. 

For the managed operations, Stephan Stander, full-time employee of Sibanye-Stillwater is the Group Lead CP for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. Stephan is a registered member of the South African Council for Natural Scientific Professions (SACNASP 400089/96).
