High grade volumes were achieved per forecast. Tshipi s cost of production for the year remained steady at R30.66/dmtu and R31.67/dmtu for the quarter. Tshipi recorded two lost time injuries during the quarter: 1. Mining a mechanic attending to a breakdown on a drill rig caught his right index finger whilst attempting to correct the fault, resulting in a loss of the finger. All staff were retrained, and safety procedures updated to address the specific fault. 2. Processing after a chute became blocked, plant operators attempted to unblock the chute, and the operator s hand became trapped resulting in a laceration to his left hand. All chutes were reassessed, and the unblocking SOP s were revised to include correct methods and tools for unblocking. Staff were reminded not to position themselves in the line of potential injury. Logistics and Sales Tshipi achieved its sales target for FY2019 of 3.5 million tonnes, resulting in a new all-time record export volume. The rail and road volumes realised were higher during the month of February, exceeding the FY2019 shipping target. Road volumes to Durban were significantly increased to cater for the new Durban rail channel that was reallocated to other manganese producers during the previous quarter. Corporate The Tshipi Board declared and subsequently paid a dividend of R1.1 billion to its shareholders in February, for the second half of FY2019. Tshipi paid a total of R3.21 billion in dividends for FY2019. A total of R1.13 billion was paid in royalties and taxes in February, resulting in the lower net cash from operating activities in the final quarter. 2
