COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 Coronavirus a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a material impact on the global economy, the scale and duration of which remain uncertain. Since March 2020, the pandemic has continued in waves and the emergence of the Omicron variant in late November 2021 caused a resurgence in new infections during the period. Related negative public health developments have again adversely affected workforces, economies and financial markets globally, resulting in continued economic uncertainty. Although to date the Company has not experienced a direct material adverse effect due to the pandemic, it is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the possible adverse results of the pandemic and its effects on the Company's business or ability to raise funds. On June 22, 2022, the Government of South Africa announced that the remaining COVID-19 regulations have been repealed.

On March 5, 2021 and subsequently the Company received three notices of appeal to the January 28, 2021 decision of the South African Department of Mineral Resources and Energy ("DMR") granting the Waterberg Mining Right filed by appellants from local communities. One group filed an application for an order in the High Court of South Africa to review and set aside the decision by the Minister of the Department of Forestry, Fisheries, and the Environment to refuse condonation for the late filing of an appeal against the grant of an environmental authorization for the mine in November 2020. On July 30, 2021, Waterberg JV Co. received a restraint application filed in the High Court of South Africa by a group claiming to represent individuals located near planned surface infrastructure.

In September 2018, the Company received a summons whereby by Africa Wide Mineral Prospecting and Exploration Proprietary Limited ("Africa Wide") instituted legal proceedings in South Africa against PTM RSA, RBPlats and Maseve seeking to set aside the Maseve Sale Transaction. Various statements and discovery documents were filed during calendar 2021 and a trial to hear evidence occurred in the High Court of South Africa October 4 to October 8, 2021. Final legal arguments were heard by the High Court on March 1 and 2, 2022.
On June 14, 2022, the High Court of South Africa delivered judgement dismissing the challenge brought by Africa Wide and ordered Africa Wide to make payment of the defendants' costs, (this amount has not been accrued due to uncertainty of amount). In its ruling, the High Court found that Africa Wide had firstly failed to make its case on the evidence and secondly that, having failed to challenge the Scheme under the Companies Act, Africa Wide's case was statutorily barred. Africa Wide has filed an application for leave to appeal the judgment of the High Court and the Company intends to oppose the application.
