Auditor's report, year to 2023-03-31: material uncertainty related to going concern (a separate paragraph that does not modify the opinion; the opinion is qualified on another basis, shown below)
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern: We draw attention to note 34 to the Group financial statements which indicates that the Group incurred an operating loss before tax of USD 24 192 436 for the year ended 31 March 2023, and as at that date, the Group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by USD 13 375 451. This indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Auditor's report, year to 2023-03-31: qualified opinion ('except for')
The auditor gives a qualified ('except for') opinion: apart from the matters it names, the statements are presented fairly. Figures are shown as printed; those affected by the named matters may be misstated. The auditor (Grant Thornton, Zimbabwe) gave a qualified opinion on Bindura Nickel Corporation Limited's Group and Company financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023. Except for one matter, the auditor found they present fairly. The matter: in earlier years foreign-currency amounts were translated at rates that did not meet IAS 21, and those errors were never corrected, so retained earnings may be misstated. The auditor also drew attention to a material uncertainty about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern: an operating loss before tax of USD 24 192 436 and current liabilities exceeding current assets by USD 13 375 451. Figures are shown as published. (auditor's report, PDF p45; verified on the page images 2026-10-08)
