Exxaro This is Exxaro’s official Facebook site. www.exxaro.com As of 1 April 2020, Exxaro assumed 100% ownership of Cennergi.

The group’s objectives are to provide information, insights, perspectives and opinions on topics relating to the group, the South African mining industry and related fields. Exxaro Resources Limited (Exxaro, the company or the group) is among the top five coal producers in South Africa. Since 2006, Exxaro has become one of South Africa's largest and foremost black-empowered and diversified mining companies. The group is a constituent of the JSE Limited (JSE) Top 40 Index and among the top 30 in the FTSE/JSE Socially Responsible Investment Index. Exxaro is also proud to embrace the principles of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Based on our position as a major coal supplier in South Africa, we understand the importance of being carbon-neutral and finally net zero carbon. Therefore, we have started incorporating renewable energy solutions into our existing portfolio to reach this milestone by 2050. To this end, Exxaro is pleased to announce the acquisition from Khopoli Investments Limited (Khopoli), wholly owned by Tata Power Company Limited (Tata), of Khopoli's 50% interest in Cennergi Proprietary Limited (Cennergi) for a cash consideration of R1 739 million (including price adjustments). Read more about what this acquisition means for Exxaro on Our environment: stewardship and compliance. Our diversified asset portfolio comprises interests in renewable energy (wind) and thermal and metallurgical coal, and equity-accounted investments in iron ore, zinc and residual pigment manufacturing. Exxaro also has business interests globally in Europe (comprising a marketing and logistics office in Switzerland), the United States of America (USA) (through Tronox Holdings plc) which we disposed of in February 2021 and Australia (comprising a joint venture with Anglo Coal (Grosvenor Proprietary Limited) in the Moranbah coal mine).

When Tshikondeni Mine closed in 2014, local communities faced the challenge of rebuilding livelihoods beyond mining.

Through the Tshikondeni Farmers Project, Exxaro supports small-scale farmers with the resources needed to build sustainable agricultural businesses and create new opportunities through farming.

For Anna Tshirema, who took over her late husband’s farm in 2016, access to water and farming infrastructure transformed what was possible.

Exxaro installed solar panels, a water tank and a drip irrigation system, helping her overcome the daily challenge of collecting water from a local dam and enabling more efficient crop production. Support with market access has also enabled her to supply quality produce to Tiger Brands.

Today, Anna's farm supports eight permanent employees and creates work opportunities for 50 seasonal workers during harvest.

“Exxaro came and installed solar panels for me, they also installed a water tank and a drip irrigation system. I used to get water from a local dam and walk all the way back. Because the containers had leaks, I would lose the water along the way, which made farming difficult. Exxaro also assisted me with market access, and I am now producing quality crops for Tiger Brands.” - Anna Tshirema

The project has also supported farmers such as Azwikonei Ramalivha, helping expand agricultural operations and create additional employment opportunities within the community.

Since its inception, the Tshikondeni Farmers Project has helped create 632 jobs.
This is impact beyond the surface - creating sustainable livelihoods through agriculture and supporting communities beyond mining.

“I had a good career as a Geologist, but every time I looked at the land, something in me felt unfinished.” – Bolai Masai

After more than a decade in geology, Bolai returned to the soil to follow his true calling.

In 2023, he applied for access to land through Exxaro’s Land Use Management Programme and received 432 hectares near Belfast, along with mentorship, livestock support, and access to machinery.

His first season tested him; late rains led to significant crop losses. But with Exxaro’s farming mentorship and livestock management support, Bolai rebuilt.
Today he has a herd of over 200 Bonsmara cattle, thriving maize production and a farm employing 8 permanent staff and seasonal workers.

“This land gave me a second chance to build a legacy,” says Bolai. “The guidance and mentorship helped me keep going when things didn’t work out the first time.”

Bolai is building a farm that has long-term food security and sustainable livelihoods.

"When we lived on the farm, life was hard. We had no electricity, no running water, and we didn't own the land we lived on. Today, we have our own houses, roads, electricity and water. Our children have space to play and we finally feel like we belong here." – Andries Maseko, Phumulani Agri-Village resident in Mpumalanga.

When Belfast Mine's resettlement programme required the relocation of 32 households from Zoekop and Leeuwpan Farm, the focus extended beyond relocating families. It was about creating a place where people could rebuild their lives with dignity while preserving their sense of community and belonging.

Through ongoing consultation with residents, Phumulani Agri-Village was established with quality homes, access to roads, electricity and running water, creating a safe and stable environment where families could build a better future.

Household food gardens were also established, giving residents the opportunity to grow food for their families and strengthen household food security.

The journey did not end with new homes. To support long-term economic sustainability, Belfast Mine invested R1.6 million in a community agricultural project, creating opportunities for residents to grow fresh fruit and vegetables, raise livestock and participate in farming activities that promote food security while generating an income. The project enables community members to build sustainable livelihoods through agriculture, creating lasting economic opportunities for future generations.

"We're helping families grow food not just for their own tables, but also to sell. It's about independence and sustainability," says James Nkosi, who supervises the agricultural project in Belfast.

Today, Phumulani Agri-Village reflects a holistic approach to community development, where dignified living, food security and sustainable livelihoods come together to help families build a more secure future.

When three graduates from Lephalale in Limpopo near Grootegeluk Mine couldn’t find work in their own community, they decided to create opportunities themselves.

Their journey began while they were still students at Mogolo Academy, where they were first introduced to Exxaro. Years later, through Exxaro’s Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD) Programme, they received the support needed to turn their skills into a business.

Founded in 2020, Boitlhamo Construction started as a small brick-making business with one goal: build locally and employ locally. But demand grew quickly, and without the right support, growth was limited.

Through Exxaro’s programme, Boitlhamo Construction received startup funding, a brick-making machine and land to lease and operate from.

Today, Boitlhamo Construction has:
● Grown from 3 founders to 20 employees
● Expanded brick production to supply local construction projects
● Created sustainable income for families in Lephalale

“We come from nothing to something, that is why we are standing here today. Our journey has taught us that success is not luck; it takes passion, resilience, hard work and commitment.” – Khone Shavhani, Co-founder of Boitlhamo Construction.

This is Impact Beyond the Surface, where skills stay local, jobs stay local and communities build their own future.

Speaking at the annual Resources for Africa Joburg Indaba, our executive head for Coal Caroline Shirindza, spoke on a panel about powering the future mine. She indicated that “future mines need to be resilient, and the decisions we make today will influence what tomorrow looks like.

Capital allocation is therefore important. It is about getting the sequence right, particularly when it comes to energy security. Risk is also a capital allocation decision, so we need to make sure that we are making the right decisions today to build resilience for the future.

We are championing decarbonisation across our portfolio through coal, future-facing metals and renewable energy. Through Cennergi, we are already seeing the benefits of this at our Grooteguluk mine, where we are enjoying the benefits of electrons from our solar plant. For us, it makes business sense because we are able to generate energy from an asset that supports our mining operations. We are expecting around R100 million in savings from power and emissions. Our objective is to decarbonise while continuing to create value across all three businesses. We are not shrinking coal; we are expanding the portfolio.

Our operations run 24/7, so the energy sources of the future need to understand and respond to those requirements. We recognise the role of different energy sources. This is not about replacing coal; it is about coal and other energy sources working together to provide low-cost, reliable and long-term resilience for our business.

Within the coal industry, there is already a lot of work happening around Scope 1 emissions, improving efficiencies.

When it comes to Scope 2, we are also supporting other mining companies to decarbonise through our renewable energy company, Cennergi. We have seen a shift in the conversation.

The question is no longer simply about the coal we were worried about; it is about how we make coal cleaner and more efficient. Clean energy is not clean energy without coal being part of the conversation”.

Speaking at the annual Resources for Africa Joburg Indaba, our CEO Ben Magara reflected on the current geopolitical volatility and its impact on the mining industry - “geopolitical uncertainty is no longer an occasional disruption; it is a permanent feature of the global operating environment. For the mining industry, this means navigating a world where countries are competing for critical minerals, securing supply chains and competing for scarce talent.

Against this backdrop, the energy transition is real and the question for mining companies is how to participate in it and, importantly, how to use it to unlock new opportunities.

For Exxaro, being an energy business is about more than coal. It is about building on the strength of our existing portfolio while positioning the business for the future through wind, solar and low carbon minerals.

Our coal business remains a strong and resilient foundation. Since listing in 2006, Exxaro has never missed a dividend, demonstrating the strength of the business and its ability to create value. That strength has given us the impetus to invest in future-facing minerals and energy solutions, responding to a world that is changing rapidly.

The reality is that, as the world transitions to a lower-carbon economy, it will continue to require fossil fuels for some time. This makes the role of responsible and reliable coal producers important not only in meeting current energy needs, but in generating the cash flow and resilience needed to invest in the future.

We are already seeing this transition take shape within Exxaro. Through our renewable energy portfolio, including the 68MW Lephalale Solar Project, we are reducing emissions from our operations while building our capability in future-facing energy”.

For years, learning at Bonginhlanhla Primary School in Thubelihle, near our Matla Mine in Mpumalanga, came with daily uncertainty. Crumbling walls, leaking roofs and overcrowded classrooms made it hard for learners and teachers to focus on education.

“For a long time, we worried more about safety than learning”, says Mrs Ndwandwe, Principal of Bonginhlanhla Primary School.

Through Exxaro's social impact strategy, a R10 million investment transformed the school's infrastructure, creating a more conducive environment for teaching and learning. Today, Bonginhlanhla has new classrooms, a fully equipped science laboratory, a library, a computer centre with tablets and desktops and an upgraded ablution facility.

The impact is measurable - learner enrollment has grown from 800 to over 1500, teacher morale has strengthened and learners now have access to practical, hands-on learning opportunities that were once out of reach.

Every learner deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and dream in an environment that supports their potential.

At Nelsonskop Primary School in Marapong, Lephalale, Exxaro's investment is helping create opportunities that extend beyond new infrastructure, strengthening learning environments, expanding digital access and helping prepare learners for the future.

For years, learners faced overcrowded classrooms and limited resources. Through a R7 million investment from Exxaro, the school received four new classrooms, a multi-purpose hall and high-speed digital connectivity, creating an environment where learners have the space and resources to thrive.

Today, Nelsonskop Primary School is one of 25 schools in Lephalale connected to Wi-Fi infrastructure funded by Exxaro, expanding access to digital literacy and online learning while creating a stronger foundation for generations to come.

"When my first child started here 25 years ago, things were different. Today, I look at these new classrooms, and I see a promise kept. Our children finally have a hall to sing in, to dream in, and to compete. We are no longer waiting for a better tomorrow; we are watching our children build a legacy with their own hands." – Mrs. Kgabo Manaka, School Governing Body Chairperson

Watch the full story of how dreams are becoming reality at Nelsonskop Primary and the legacy being built for generations to come.
