OVERVIEW
Jubilee has delivered another strong operational performance during the period under review which continued post this period.
In addition Jubilee continued to grow its project pipe line of surface metal recovery projects expanding both in South Africa and into Africa through its Zambian acquisitions. Jubilee's project pipe-line contains a diversified metals of Chrome, PGMs, Zinc, Lead and Vanadium. This project pipe-line supports Jubilee's drive to diversify its earnings generation and is well buffered against metal price fluctuations operating at the low end of the metal production cost curve in the absence of any mining related costs.
Jubilee is actively pursuing further metal recovery projects. Jubilee's brand is gaining strength on the back of our successful track record and is engaging with global mining companies to target the formation of strategic relationships.
In line with Jubilee's strategy to rapidly grow its surface metal recovery project pipe line, Jubilee has executed framework agreements and non-disclosure agreements with large global mining companies to define the metals recovery opportunities and prepare an asset waste portfolio for these companies.
The Company has successfully responded to the current challenges and risks inherent to a metals production business that also holds an exploration asset and will continue to formulate preventative measures.
JUBILEE'S METALS RECOVERY PROJECTS
HERNIC OPERATIONS - SOUTH AFRICA
The Hernic Operation targets the recovery of platinum group metals and chrome contained in surface material. The metals recovery operation avoids any exposure to mining risk.
The Hernic Operation is the second of the Company's operating platinum-bearing surface tailings projects and targets processing in excess of 600 000 tonnes tailings per year. The project has access to an estimated 3 000 000 tons of surface platinum containing material, to which Hernic continues to add further material. The project, which is estimated to contain in excess of 224 000 (3PGM + Au) ounce in the historical tailings alone, is one of the largest PGM beneficiation plant in South Africa to process surface chrome tailings. Jubilee was awarded the exclusive right to process and recover the chrome and PGM's from these surface tailings.
The Hernic Operation was constructed and commissioned within budget and on time. Key project milestones were:
-- Concluded construction January 2017 -- First Chrome production February 2017 -- First Platinum production March 2017 -- Positive project earnings from June 2017
-- Consistent project earnings growth quarter on quarter reaching GBP1.92 million (ZAR 35.52 million) in Q3 2018 alone
-- Unit cost of production below USD 400 per PGM ounce produced -- Achieved record monthly production of PGMs reaching 2 542 PGM ounces in October 2018
Jubilee strives at all times to provide a safe working environment for its employees and stake holders and achieved a safety performance for the period under review of 183 903 of no lost time injury hours worked.
The graph below depicting the quarter on quarter project performance, illustrates the continuous step improvement achieved by the project.
The Jubilee attributable earnings shows that the project turned profitable within 2 months of commencing operations and within 16 months of commencing with project capital expenditure.
The Hernic Operation continues to offer further upside in the performance by targeting increased feed supply to the chrome and PGM recovery circuits.
The table below presents the operational performance of the Hernic Operation for the period under review (The Hernic Operation was commissioned during March 2017 with operations only commencing during Q2 of 2017):

DILOKONG CHROME MINE (DCM) OPERATIONS - SOUTH AFRICA
Jubilee's subsidiary, Jubilee Tailings and Treatment Company Proprietary Limited ("JTTC") holds the exclusive rights to beneficiate the PGMs and chrome from the platinum and chrome-containing surface material at DCM. The agreement between DCM and JTTC gives Jubilee access to more than 850 000 tons of surface material containing an estimated 74 000 ounces 4E PGM (elements platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold).
During the period under review, and in an ongoing co-operation with DCM, Jubilee executed a new framework treatment of tailings and chrome ore agreement ("New Agreement") with DCM, thereby cancelling and superseding all existing agreements in respect of chrome processing and PGM recovery at DCM. The New Agreement transforms Jubilee's DCM operations as an equal joint venture with DCM, on all chrome ore including 3rd party chrome ore. This New Agreement now affords Jubilee the right to 50 % of all chromite earnings generated including from the processing of third party or other Chromite Ore. This New Agreement captures the growth of the DCM Project from initially Jubilee holding no rights to earnings from chromite ore at the outset of the DCM Project to a 50/50 joint venture with DCM. The New Agreement further secures Jubilee's unencumbered PGM rights from all material processed at DCM irrespective of source.
DCM Operation
The DCM operations maintained a strong safety performance achieving 219 761 of no lost time injury hours worked.
During the period under review the DCM operations produced 46 191 tonnes of saleable chrome concentrate. Jubilee expects to deplete the initial coarse recoverable chrome from the tailings material during Q4 2018. In-line with the expected reduced chrome production Jubilee commenced with the construction of a state of the art fine chrome recovery circuit targeting the fine chrome available in the approximate 1 000 000 tonnes of surface material. This new highly automated circuit is targeted to commence commissioning during Q4 2018 ramping up to a processing rate of 300 000 tonnes per annum. The fine chrome circuit will be an industry first and Jubilee expects to deploy the solution to its other operations. If offers the unique benefit of targeting the recovery of chrome previously discarded to the waste streams which opens a new potential source of chrome.
During the period under review the DCM operations performed to plan with its second full year of operation despite challenging market conditions and pressure on the chrome price. Jubilee looks forward to bringing its new fine chrome recovery plant into full operation during the first quarter of 2019.

PLATCRO PROJECT - SOUTH AFRICA
Jubilee holds the rights to PlatCro's estimated 1 900 000 tonnes of new platinum-bearing surface material containing an estimated 2.7 g/t 4E PGMs (platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold) as well as all future platinum bearing material processed.
Jubilee entered into a processing agreement ("the Agreement") with Eland Platinum Proprietary Limited ("Eland Platinum"), a subsidiary of Northam Platinum Limited, for the further refining of the PGM rich surface material. The Agreement is on the basis that Jubilee will deliver its platinum rich PlatCro material, post chrome removal, to Eland Platinum at a targeted rate of 60 000 tonnes per month. All capital associated with the refurbishment of Eland Platinum's platinum recovery plant will be carried by Eland Platinum.
It is expected that the Eland Platinum processing plant will commence processing of the Jubilee material from February 2019 ramping up to a targeted rate of 60 000 tonnes per month at an agreed fixed processing cost. In return Eland Platinum will acquire the platinum material from Jubilee and recover the contained PGMs at a targeted rate of approximately 2 800 PGM ounces per month. All earnings generated by the sale of the recovered PGM ounces will be shared at an agreed earning split, with Jubilee retaining a majority of the earnings.
Jubilee has commenced the construction of the dewatering and classification circuit at PlatCro to facilitate the ramp up of deliveries to Eland Platinum. The project remains on track to commence the production of PGMs during Q1 2019.
KABWE PROJECT - ZAMBIA
The Kabwe Project provides Jubilee a position in Zambia offering a potential to lead, zinc and vanadium contained in historical surface mine tailings and discards. JORC compliant lead and zinc in Kabwe Dumps is estimated at 164 000 tonnes of zinc and 272 000 tonnes of lead excluding the further significant non-JORC compliant surface resources and the contained vanadium estimated to contain 6 400 000 tonnes of lead, zinc and vanadium rich material at surface
During the period under review Jubilee acquired 29.01% of BMR and executed agreements with BMR where Jubilee would provide access to funding for the Kabwe Operations to the value of GBP 300,000 to secure a 15% equity interest in Kabwe Operations held as a Preferred Share. The funding will be utilised towards the confirmation by Jubilee of the initial design, work programme and budget for construction of the Kabwe Project.
Post the period under review, the agreements for the Kabwe Project were updated ("Updated Agreements") to better align with Jubilee's role to deliver a successful project. The Updated Agreements places Jubilee in full control of the execution methodology and funding requirements to bring the project to account. In return Jubilee will hold a minimum of 87. 5% shareholding in Kabwe Operations assigned with all intellectual property developed for the execution of the Kabwe Project as well as the right to fund and execute the Kabwe Project.
Jubilee also holds a further option, at its sole election, to acquire 100% of the issued shares of EML, a subsidiary of BMR and the company that owns the Project through BMR's Zambian based EPL. BMR will hold either the remaining 12, 5% shareholding in Kabwe Operations or should Jubilee acquire EML outright a 12, 5% share of earnings generated by the Kabwe Project ("Royalty"). Such Royalty payments will only be due and payable by the Kabwe Project once Jubilee has secured a minimum of a 20% rate of return on the investment made into the Project and only once EPL or Kabwe Operations have received all generated earnings in cash.
Post the period under review Jubilee concluded the process review and project implementation strategy. The strategy includes separating the zinc and lead recovery circuits and completing first the zinc recovery circuit. The option is being considered to gain exclusive access to a nearby zinc refinery currently under care and maintenance. This option would include refurbishing the existing refinery which significantly reduces the project time line to commence production of zinc. The tailings from the zinc circuit would be fed to a new constructed lead recovery circuit for the production of a lead concentrate. The final decision on whether access to the zinc refinery can be secured is expected during Q4 2018, failing which Jubilee will accelerate the construction of a dedicated zinc recovery circuit at the EPL Kabwe property.
Jubilee further holds the right as part of the existing agreements with BMR to offer tolling refining services to future zinc ore from the large scale exploration rights also held under EPL. BMR has entered into a joint venture agreement with Galileo Resources to further the exploration of these assets. Initial drilling results have confirmed the potential of significant shallow zinc resources suited for further refining by the Jubilee proposed zinc recovery circuit.
TJATE PLATINUM PROJECT - SOUTH AFRICA
Tjate was awarded a Mining right granted 2 March 2017 for the mining of platinum group metals and associated base metals and chrome on three farms Quartzhill, Fernkloof and Dsjate totalling some 5 100 hectares, which comprise the Project. The Project covers the feasibility of the development of a medium size underground mine to extract the Merensky and UG2 reefs containing platinum group minerals, chromite and other associated metal ores. The Project property's farms are down dip of Impala Platinum's operating Marula platinum mine and of Anglo Platinum's developing Twickenham platinum mine.
Jubilee commissioned an independent review and update of the project and economics in order to assess the most suitable and appropriate way forward for the project.
Jubilee on behalf of Tjate has progressed with the implementation of the Social Labour Program during the period under review. The activities included the construction of an expanded water storage reticulation system to service the Tjate community.
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Dear shareholder,
Our stated mission is to establish Jubilee as a leading global player in the recovery of metals from surface material previously regarded as waste or discard by applying project appropriated cutting edge metallurgical solutions. This mission, while remaining free of any mining risk, secures Jubilee access to low capital, quick to market projects diversified across metals and country. Reflecting on the period under review I am proud to report that Jubilee has demonstrated it progress in delivering this mission. We responded aggressively to market dynamics by solidifying our existing earnings generative projects and focussing on efficiencies to fully capture the benefit from strong palladium and rhodium prices included in the PGMs produced, while diversifying our project portfolio to include the energy associated metals such as vanadium and zinc in Zambia.
The year under review has seen significant progress made by Jubilee both operationally, delivering record earnings and associated PGM ounces, as well as strategically with Jubilee expanding its operational footprint and diversifying into energy related base metals associated with acquisition of the Kabwe project in Zambia.
Our Hernic operation's quarterly published results confirmed the project as one of the premier projects in the arena achieving a unit cost per PGM ounce produced of below USD 400. Hernic delivered 17 354 ounces for the 12 months period of under review. At the time of writing this report, the Company has announced the monthly production of PGMs for October alone this year to be some 2 542 ounces, which is in excess of the forecasted production rate.
At our DCM operation, we announced on 5 September 2017 a new partnership agreement with DCM. The agreement gave Jubilee an increase from 0 to 50 % in all chrome produced from the DCM operation and also extended Jubilee's sole right to all PGMs from material at DCM irrespective of source.
With the depletion of coarser chrome in the surface stock Jubilee commenced the construction of a state of the art fine chrome recovery circuit targeting the recovery of the significant quantity of fine chrome remaining in the more than 1 000 000 tonnes surface stock at DCM. We anticipate that the fine chrome recovery project will be commissioned during the 4(th) quarter 2018. The completion of this project is expected to significantly enhance revenues and earnings from the DCM Project. The DCM fine chrome recovery plant will capture chrome currently being lost prior to the introduction of the capability. This loss is common to the industry and the Company considers this process capability to be generally marketable within the chrome industry of South Africa.
The Company has aggressively pursued its decision to provide a country and commodity hedge. The first move in this direction was with the BMR in Zambia. BMR's Zambian subsidiary, Enviro Processing Limited, holds the rights to the secondary materials at the former Kabwe mine in Zambia. The initial intent was to joint venture with BMR, with Jubilee providing the expertise and initial financing to develop a small plant, with Jubilee enjoying a 40 % share of profits.
We announced on 15 January 2018 that we had acquired a 29.01 % in the enlarged issued share capital of BMR. The effect of this acquisition was to increase our overall beneficial interest in the Kabwe Project to 51.41 %. This decision was inspired by our confidence in the Project and its potential future opportunities. The holding in BMR was supported by our intent to make other dump and secondary material acquisitions in Zambia using BMR as our initial footprint and platform for progression.
On 7 February 2018 we were advised by BMR that the Zambian government had terminated, with immediate effect, BMR's mining right to the Kabwe operation with 30 days to appeal. Jubilee and BMR worked diligently together in an appeal to reinstate the license and announced on 5 April 2018 that the license has been reinstated, effective immediately, by the Minister of Mines and Mineral Development. This reinstatement of the mining license paved the way for Jubilee and BMR to commence joint execution of the Project. Post balance sheet, Jubilee announced that it had gained full control of the Kabwe Project by increasing its stake to 87. 5 % with an option to acquire 100 % of the Kabwe Project, while BMR retains a maximum of 12.5 % of generated earnings after Jubilee has first secured a return on its project capital. The Jubilee board is convinced that this acquisition will represent a major step in its stated mission to take its brand into the global arena. The mission being, to secure projects, which are low risk with high operating margins and no exposure to mining or exploration risk. In pursuing this mission, Jubilee have assembled an enviable project pipeline ranging across a range of commodities and secondary material types. A number of projects have advanced to final negotiation stage and we look forward to further announcements in this regard in the near future.
One of the key necessities to pursue this mission is that of finance and to this end, Jubilee secured a USD 50 million project funding agreement as announced on 9 August 2017. The key feature of this funding is that it will be directed at asset level and will be drawn down based on individual project criteria. This initial funding arrangement is for a 33 month period with options to extend and/or increase the level of commitment. Jubilee has been active throughout the year in establishing a network of various institutional individual investors who recognise the brand and management vision in respect of dump and secondary material treatment on a global basis.
Jubilee at the time of writing this report has the technical, engineering and financing capability to execute projects of a similar size to the projects already in our arsenal, should the fundamentals permit. Our brand and model will allow third party major resource companies to clean up their secondary material problems, receiving significant income without capital risk. The strength of this model is supported by the level of enquiry and interaction currently being experienced by Jubilee in this particular field.
I firmly believe that 2019/2020 will see inflation continue, apace producing a supportive environment for commodities, with demand increasing and ability to supply being limited with the outcome of general price increases. Our project line does not require either extended time or capital to implement new projects and as such we will be able to take full and quicker advantage over companies who have to embark upon primary mining activities to meet the new metal demand.
On 21 June 2018 we announced the retirement of Andrew Sarosi from the board. The decision of Andrew Sarosi to step down from the board was a sad moment in the Company's history since his untiring efforts, intellectual contribution and sheer hard work will be sorely missed. We wish Andrew Sarosi well in his retirement and we thank him for his exemplary contribution. Andrew Sarosi has been replaced by Dr Evan Kirby, who has a wide experience in our industry and has operated in a senior level therein. Like Andrew, Dr Kirby is a metallurgical engineer and therefore his contribution will have significant impact on decisions being made going forward. We welcome
Dr Kirby to the board.
Finally, I would like to thank everyone concerned with the sterling effort, which has produced two highly cash generative projects and a pipeline of enviable future investments. I look forward to the next year producing even stronger earnings and several of our pipeline project being consummated.

8. Going concern
The Directors have adopted the going-concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
The period under review has seen Jubilee continuing to successfully develop and grow its strategy to successfully implement its Metals Recovery Strategy which is advancing to the satisfaction of the Board. Jubilee is currently evaluating a number of projects, which if concluded successfully, would enhance shareholder value and growth for the Group.
Factors in support of the Group's treasury position are listed below:
8.1 The Company has an USD10 million loan agreement secured. Jubilee has drawn down on USD5m of the total facility since inception of the loan. At the period end the amount outstanding, including fees and interest was GBP3.07 million (2017: GBP3.78 million).
8.2 On 9 August 2017 Jubilee secured a project funding facility which is modelled on the successful Hernic platinum and chrome recovery project.
8.3 In January 2018 the Company successfully completed a placing of 125 000 000 new ordinary shares of 1 pence each in Jubilee at a price of 3.6 pence (ZAR 62.62 cents) per share raising approximately GBP4.5 million before expenses (ZAR 75.78 million) (Conversion rates applicable on the date of the announcement being 9 January 2018).
8.4 The Group's current projects are cash generative and contributes to the treasury of the Group.
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.
9. Events after the reporting period
9.1 BMR Group Plc
On 7 February 2018, the company announced the suspension of trading of its securities on AIM. On 3 August BMR's admission to AIM was cancelled and the company converted to an unlisted public company. Jubilee's 29.01% then converted to an unlisted public investment in associate.
9.2 Kabwe Project
As announced on 2 May 2018, Jubilee executed a shareholders and operating agreement with BMR for the Kabwe Project. As announced on 6 August 2018, these agreements for the Kabwe Project were updated ("Updated Agreements") to better align with Jubilee's role to deliver a successful project. The Updated Agreements places Jubilee in full control of the execution methodology and funding requirements to bring the Kabwe Project to account. In return Jubilee will hold a minimum of 87. 5% shareholding in Kabwe Operations Limited, a company incorporated as a Joint Venture Company ("Kabwe Operations") assigned with all intellectual property developed for the execution of the Kabwe Project as well as the right to fund and execute the Kabwe Project. This, together with Jubilee's indirect interest in Kabwe Operations through its 29.01% direct shareholding in BMR, results in Jubilee holding a 91.1% interest in Kabwe Operations post year end.
Jubilee holds a further option, at its sole election, to acquire 100% of the issued shares of Enviro Mining Limited ("EML"), a subsidiary of BMR and the company that owns the Project through BMR's Zambian based Enviro Processing Limited ("EPL"). BMR will then hold either the remaining 12. 5% shareholding in Kabwe Operations or should Jubilee acquire EML outright a 12. 5% share of earnings generated by the Project ("Royalty"). Such Royalty payments will only be due and payable by the Kabwe Project once Jubilee has secured a minimum of a 30% return on the investment made into the Kabwe Project and only once EPL or Kabwe Operations have received all generated earnings in cash.

-- the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
-- the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the group's or the parent company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) we identified, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statement as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Our application of materiality
We apply the concept of materiality in planning and performing our audit, in evaluating the effect of any identified misstatements and in forming our audit opinion. Our overall objective as auditor is to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. We consider a misstatement to be material where it could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of the users of the financial statements.
We have determined a materiality of GBP600,000 (2017: GBP620,000) for both the Group and Company financial statements. This is based on 1% of net assets per draft financials at the planning stage.
An overview of the scope of our audit
We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we obtained sufficient evidence to support our opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group and the Parent Company, the accounting processes and controls and the industry in which the Group operates.
As Group auditors we carried out the audit of the Company financial statements and, in accordance with ISA (UK) 600, obtained sufficient evidence regarding the audit of six subsidiaries undertaken by component auditors in South Africa. These six subsidiaries were deemed to be significant to the Group financial statements either due to their size or their risk characteristics. The Group audit team directed, supervised and reviewed the work of the component auditors in South Africa, which involved issuing detailed instructions, holding regular discussions with component audit teams, performing detailed file reviews and visiting South Africa to attend local audit meetings with management. Audit work in South Africa was performed at materiality levels of GBP100,000, lower than Group materiality.
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we looked at where the Directors made subjective judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. We also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the Directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-- 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; and
-- the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-- adequate accounting records have not been kept, 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.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 32, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report
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 auditor's 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.
