This quarter's strong performance demonstrates the quality of our enhanced portfolio of operating mines, following the successful integration of the Teranga assets within our business. Moreover, we are pleased to report significant increases in our per share metrics.

The combined portfolio is on track to meet its FY-2021 guidance and deliver strong cash flows, bolstering our balance sheet and providing the flexibility to advance our exciting organic growth opportunities while continuing to reward shareholders through our dividend and share buyback programs.

From a capital markets perspective, we remain on track to obtain our premium listing on the London Stock Exchange in June, which we expect to broaden our appeal to a wider pool of investor capital, whilst benefiting from the projected increase in indexation demand.

We look forward to continuing to build on the progress we have made throughout the remainder of this year.”
