- Note 41.3 (PDF p66) prints restated 2024 cash at the end of the year as 602 729; the statement of cash flows prints 602 730 (PDF p20); note 14 (PDF p41) prints 'Cash and cash equivalents per IAS 7' as 457 805 (2024: 602 729) against 457 806 (2024: 602 730) in the cash flow statement. The statement figures are transcribed; the cash-to-balance-sheet checks therefore fail by R1 thousand (issuer rounding).
- No profit-for-the-year line is printed: Profit before taxation, Taxation, then 'Total comprehensive income for the year' (PDF p18); no other comprehensive income is printed. Non-current assets, current assets, equity, non-current liabilities and current liabilities are unlabelled subtotals (PDF p17).
- 2024 comparatives restated (note 41, PDF pp65-66): (41.1) R361m of 120-day rehabilitation deposits with the Glencore Central Treasury reclassified from cash to other short-term financial assets; (41.2) R33m of finance income reclassified out of operating and other expenses (EBITDA 1 731 417 -> 1 698 310); (41.3) R1 192m held with the Glencore Central Treasury removed from cash in the cash flow statement and its movement shown in investing activities (cash at end of 2024 1 794 911 -> 602 730). The SFP prints restated 2023 opening balances (not read).
- Earnings per share printed in cents (basic 5.7; 2024: 26.7; diluted printed identically, PDF p18); stored in rand with the printed figure and unit kept.
