Jubilee Metals has received competition tribunal approval to dispose of its chrome
and platinum group metals operations in South Africa.

Copper is already central to the company’s positioning and looks set to become its
primary focus. Management has repeatedly emphasised the margin potential and scalability
of its Zambian copper operations. This sale simplifies the business and concentrates
resources on a platform that aligns with long-term global demand trends.

Copper is structurally supported by electrification and infrastructure demand. Chrome
and PGMs, by contrast, face more mixed demand signals and require sustained capital
to remain competitive.

The company is not exiting South Africa entirely. It is retaining rights to the 
Tjate platinum project, holding optionality in a segment it understands.
