Overview
In the period under review, the Company achieved significant
milestones in the implementation of its Mine-to-Metals strategy to
form a fully-integrated platinum mining Company.
The Company commissioned the First Phase of its DCM Tailings
Project, reaching stable production in April 2016 while
simultaneously commencing with the construction of the Hernic
Tailings Project, targeting a combined processing in excess of 900
000 tonnes per annum of Platinum Tailings over the two Tailings
Projects. The Company executed the cash sale of its non-core
Ferro-alloy smelting operations ("Middelburg Operations") for a
gross value of approximately GBP5.3 million (ZAR110.5 million), and
redirected the funds towards the acquisition and commissioning of
its platinum and chrome tailings projects.
The First Phase of the DCM Tailings Project targeted the
production of a chromite concentrate while concurrently the Company
concluded a detailed platinum processing option study. The option
study was concluded post the period under review. The option study
indicated the optimal strategy should include pre-concentration at
DCM of the platinum in the chrome tailings and contracting with an
existing platinum producer to upgrade further the platinum
pre-concentrate in order to produce a saleable platinum
concentrate. The Company engaged with a targeted toll processor to
implement this preferred platinum processing strategy at DCM. Post
year-end the DCM Tailings Project has continued to exceed the
design specifications, reaching a production at the end of Q3 of
the 2016 calendar year of 43 747 tonnes of saleable chromite
concentrate, generating total revenues of GBP3.1 million (ZAR56.5
million).
The Company successfully completed a project funding agreement
(the "Funding") for the execution and commissioning of its two
platinum Tailings Projects.
The Funding comprised the combination of Senior Secured Debt (to
a maximum of USD10 million), Unsecured Debt (to a maximum of USD5.3
million) and an equity placing (GBP2.3 million). This Funding
package enabled Jubilee to execute simultaneously the two platinum
Tailings Projects, while still pursuing the acquisition or securing
of further surface or shallow platinum-bearing opportunities. These
two Tailings Projects have grown the Company's access to, in excess
of 4 million tonnes, of platinum-containing surface material.
The Hernic Tailings Project reached 45% completion at year-end
with the Project expenditure equalling GBP4.5 million (ZAR 88.5
million). Post year-end and at the end of Q3 of the 2016 calendar
year the Project had reached a completion of 71% with the
un-audited Project expenditure reaching GBP7.5 million (ZAR137.6
million).
The Company's Tjate project progressed with the implementation
of a Rehabilitation Guarantee Policy bond for GBP1.5 million (ZAR27
million) in terms of the Minerals and Petroleum Resources
Development Act ("MPRDA") of South Africa. Tjate continues to await
the execution of the mining right by the Department of Minerals and
Resources ("DMR").
Jubilee executed a binding cash sale agreement, in aggregate of
approximately GBP5.3 million (ZAR110.5 million) gross for its
Middelburg operational assets, the disposal of which was approved
by shareholders at a general meeting on 7 August 2015.
During the period under review the Company successfully managed
its expenditure by selling its non-core assets and channelling the
proceeds into the more profitable platinum Tailings Projects,
thereby enabling the Company to grow its near-term earnings
potential. The Company continues to actively pursue further
projects consistent with our stated mission to grow the Company's
processing capacity of at- or near-surface platinum bearing
material.
The Company looks forward to bringing into operation its two
platinum Tailings Projects within the current financial period
while continuing to grow its revenue base and earnings projections
and advancing its project portfolio.
Conditions in the global markets remained challenging as
reflected in the platinum group metal ("PGM") prices. However,
Jubilee's Platinum Tailings Projects remain robust at these metal
prices; having the benefit of not being exposed to mining cost or
associated mining risk.
The Company successfully responded to the current challenges and
risks inherent to an exploration and production business and will
continue to formulate preventative measures.
Chairman's statement
Dear Shareholder,
The theme of last year's report was that the resource industry
in general was experiencing very difficult times with commodity
prices and difficulty in accessing finance for survival, let alone
growth. Towards the end of my report I stated that the Jubilee
management team would not be intimidated by these difficult times
and would continue with its Mine-to-Metals strategy despite the
conditions.
I am very pleased to report that the management team did respond
well to their challenges and Jubilee has made significant steps
towards overall profitability and establishing a prominent emerging
position in the South African platinum industry. Significantly we
secured the Hernic project in December 2015 and completed building
the Dilokong chromite recovery section in February 2016. The
completion of these two projects will result in the Company having
a process capacity capable of producing some 33 000 oz of platinum
per annum with considerable contribution from chrome in the case of
Dilokong.
We were successful in accessing finance for these two projects
with the combination of debt and equity; this financing being
achieved when the industry was still experiencing great difficult
in accessing finance of any kind.
We continue, proactively and reactively, to search for new
business additions to our model and feel confident that we will
make gains in this area. We also recognise that a chrome/platinum
dump mission in a finite environment can be self-limiting and
therefore have expanded our investigations into other metals and
other areas. We have recognised and it has been recognised within
our industry, that the Company possesses considerable internal
technical strength for dump re-treatment projects and outside the
Company, has created a good strategic network to identify,
investigate and financially interrogate what would be future dump
re--treatment projects. We intend to grow on these strengths for
the balance of this year and into 2017.
We are somewhat disappointed that platinum has been so resilient
at its lower levels and the much expected breakout in a positive
way did not occur. I have been cynical over the link between gold
and platinum and have often stated that the coupling has little
sense since platinum is a commodity and should therefore respond to
supply and demand fundamentals. More new cars have been sold within
the developed and emerging world and yet the platinum price has
continued to remain at around a USD1 000 per oz mark with moderate
increases and decreases. Unlike other metals, platinum produced is
sold without evidence of any significant inventories being built up
which can distort the price or lead to price manipulation. The
board sees a healthy market for platinum with expectation of higher
prices but is confident of making good returns on investment at
current platinum price levels. Our chrome operation at Dilokong has
benefited considerably by increased prices for chrome and we are
encouraged by our effort and opportunities in the local chrome
arena.
On a more general note, the resource sector appears to be ready
to move back to being a favoured sector as opposed to the
"Cinderella" of stock markets. My experience has been that such
changing sentiment can be rapid and management should not be caught
asleep when they sense the change. I believe that significant
opportunities can avail to Jubilee within its stated mission and an
extension of that mission. Financing potential has definitely
improved and now there exist considerable financial interest for
new projects held by a strong management team with a track
record.
The Group reported a loss per share for the year ended 30 June
2016 on continuing operations of 0.38 pence (ZAR cents 8.07) a
reduction of 15.6% on last year and a loss per share on
discontinued operations for the three months to 30 September 2016
of 0.03 pence (ZAR cents 0.67) (2015: loss per share on continuing
operations of 0.45 pence (ZAR cents 8.12) and a loss per share on
discontinued operations for the year ending 30 June 2015 of 0.10
pence (ZAR cents 1.76)).
Finally I would like to thank my fellow directors and
particularly the executive directors who have performed extremely
well in
securing the two assets and positioning the company within South
Africa. I would also like to thank management and external
consultants who have integrated as individuals and companies into
our business plan. I look forward to an exciting 2017 and expect to
be announcing more acquisitions and accelerated growth, all
designed to enhance shareholder value.

(2015: GBP748 816) in accordance with section 610 (2) of the United
Kingdom Companies Act 2006. This charge relates to equity placings
successfully completed.
7. Business segments
In the opinion of the Directors, the continuing operations of
the Group companies comprise four reporting segments (of which the
descriptions have been changed to better reflect the Group's
strategy of becoming a platinum producer post the Disposal)
being:
-- the beneficiation of Platinum Group Elements ("PGEs") and
associated metals and development of PGM smelters utilising
exclusive commercialisation rights of the ConRoast smelting
process, located in South Africa ("PGE beneficiation and
development");
-- the evaluation of the reclamation and processing of sulphide
nickel tailings at BHP Billiton's Leinster, Kambalda and Mount
Keith properties in Australia (Nickel tailings);
-- the exploration and mining of Platinum Group Elements
("PGEs") and associated metals (Exploration and mining);
-- the parent company operates a head office based in the United Kingdom, which incurred certain administration and corporate costs.
The results of the discontinued operations comprise two segments
which have been combined into one segment referred to as Disposal
Group being:
-- base metal smelting in South Africa; and
-- electricity generation in South Africa.
The Group's operations span five countries, South Africa,
Australia, Madagascar, Mauritius and the United Kingdom. There is
no difference between the accounting policies applied in the
segment reporting and those applied in the Group financial
statements. Mauritius and Madagascar do not meet the qualitative
threshold under IFRS 8, consequently no separate reporting is
provided.

8. Going concern
The Directors have adopted the going-concern basis in preparing
the financial statements.
The Company has continued to progress with the implementation of
its Mine-to-Metals platinum strategy, more specifically and with
reference to the above:
8.1. On 22 March 2016, the Company successfully completed the
project funding for the execution and
commissioning of both its surface platinum processing projects.
The funding comprises a combination of
senior secured debt and unsecured debt. The senior secured debt
is up to a maximum of USD10 million (ZAR153 million), with an
initial advance of USD3 million (ZAR49.5 million) and a possible
further advance of USD2 million (ZAR30.6 million) subject to and
upon the terms and conditions contained in the agreement. The
Borrower has agreed to accept and utilise the initial advance on
the terms and conditions contained in the agreement, and
acknowledges its right to call for a further advance as provided
for in the agreement, in order to fund in aggregate its obligations
to execute the two projects. The unsecured debt is to a maximum of
USD5 million (ZAR76.5 million). The Company also completed an
equity placing of GBP2.5 million (ZAR55.2 million) which was
completed during March
2016 as announced on 22 March 2016.
8.2 On 30 September 2015, Jubilee completed the disposal of 100%
of the issued shares in Jubilee Smelting and Refining Pty Ltd
("JSR"), and 70% of the issued shares in Power Alt Pty Ltd ("PA")
to Siyanda Resources Pty Ltd ("Siyanda"), through its nominated
special purpose vehicle Hornbill Investments Pty Ltd ("SPV") for a
consideration of, in aggregate, ZAR110.5 million (approximately
GBP5.3 million) ("the Disposal"). The Company received of 85% of
the purchase consideration in cash. Ten per cent of the remaining
15% of the purchase consideration is held in escrow in an amount
approximating to GBP0.390 million (ZAR8.9 million), net of closing
adjustments including stock and supplier adjustments.
8.3 During the period under review the Company also successfully
completed a number of equity placings
for cash, raising in aggregate GBP4.5 million, net of issue expenses.
The Directors are of the opinion that the Group and Company are
funded sufficiently to enable it to continue with its operations as
a going concern.

On 30 September 2015, Jubilee completed the disposal of 100% of

and 70% of the issued shares in Power Alt Pty Ltd ("PA") to Siyanda

consideration of, in aggregate, ZAR110.5 million (approximately
GBP5.3 million) ("the Disposal"). The Company received of 85% of
the net purchase consideration in cash ("First Payment"). Ten per
cent of the remaining 15% of the purchase consideration is held in
escrow in an amount approximating to GBP0.68 million (ZAR13
million), net of closing adjustments including stock and supplier
adjustments.The board considered it prudent to impair the balance
of the purchase consideration to the income statement as it is the
subject of an unsubstantiated warranty claim against the Company
which is rejected by the Company and all necessary steps are taken
to ensure release of the amount due. Pursuant to the disposal,
loans to subsidiaries in an amount of GBP6 179 421 had been
impaired.

10. Events post balance sheet
10.1 Australia - Nickel in tailings surface project
Subsequent to the period-end, Braemore Nickel (Pty) Ltd
("Braemore") has received from BHP Billion (Pty) Ltd ("BHP") a
notice of termination of the Tailings Supply Agreement relating to
the Nickel containing material in Western Australia. Braemore
rejects the termination notice since no factual or legal basis
exists for such termination. Braemore has informed BHP that it
intends to initiate legal proceeding to have the termination set
aside. Management assesses that this has no impact on the carrying
value of the Nickel Tailing Project intangible asset (per note 8)
at the date of this report.
The Company's Australian subsidiary, Braemore Nickel (Pty) Ltd
continued with ongoing internal review and optimisation of the
process flowsheet for the recovery of Nickel from the Leinster
project tailings ("Leinster Tailings"), in particular the Company's
recent flowsheet optimisation in the liberation of minerals locked
in tailings. This approach is currently being implemented in the
recovery of PGM in associated sulphides from the South African
tailings projects, specifically targeting the beneficiation of
sulphite minerals which allows for significant enhancement in
concentrate grade profiles which has improved the projected target
performance and profitability of these tailings.
10.2 Warrants issued and dealings in securities
The Company has received notification on 10 November 2016 from a
warrant holder to exercise 25,000,000 existing warrants in the
issued share capital of Jubilee at a price of 3.55p (ZAR63.90c) per
warrant share. The exercise of warrant shares amounts, in
aggregate, to a cash value of GBP887, 500 (ZAR16 million). The
warrant shares are expected to be admitted to AIM on 17 November
2016.
The Company also issued the final 1,848,167 new Jubilee ordinary
shares ("Shares") at an average issue price of 2.44 pence per share
to Dr. Matthews Phosa, who has elected to receive Shares in lieu of
100% of his director's remuneration accrued to him for the period 1
October 2014 to 31 July 2016. This is the final share issuance to
Dr. Phosa and concludes the program of shares in lieu of director
remuneration for Dr Phosa. The shares are issued under the
authority of ordinary resolution number 12 and special resolution
number 2 passed at the Company's Annual General Meeting held on 27
November 2013. The issue will bring Dr. Phosa's interest in the
Company to 2,834,884 Shares, being 0.3% of the issued capital of
the Company. The shares are expected to be admitted to AIM on 17
November 2016.

Independent auditors' report to the members of Jubilee Platinum

We have audited the Company's financial statements of Jubilee
Platinum Plc for the year ended 30 June 2016, which comprise the
Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated
Statements of Financial Position, Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity and Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements set out on pages 25 to 67.
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their
preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union and, as regards
the parent company financial statements, as applied in accordance
with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006.
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body,
in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006.
Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the
company's members those matters we are required to state to them in
an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to
anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body,
for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have
formed.
Respective responsibilities of Directors and auditors
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities
Statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the
financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true
and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an
opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable
law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those
standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board's
Ethical Standards for Auditors.
Scope of the audit of the financial statements
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give
reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from
material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This
includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are
appropriate to the Group's and the parent company's circumstances
and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the
reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the
Directors; and the overall presentation of the financial
statements. In addition, we read all the financial and
non-financial information in the Annual Report to identify material
inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and to
identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect
based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired
by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of
any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider
the implications for our report.
Opinion on financial statements
In our opinion:
-- the financial statements give a true and fair view of the
state of affairs of the Group and the parent company as at 30 June
2016 and of the Group's loss for the year then ended; and
-- the Group financial statements have been properly prepared in
accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union; and
-- the parent company financial statements have been properly
prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union
and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies
Act 2006; and
-- the financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion the information given in the Strategic Report and
the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the
financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial
statements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters
where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in
our opinion:
-- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent
company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received
from branches not visited by us; or
-- the parent company financial statements are not in agreement
with the accounting records and returns; or
-- certain disclosures of Directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-- we have not received all the information and explanations we
require for our audit.
