New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of Canadian stocks, typically moving 20% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (20% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 26% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (CA$134k sold). New Risk • Jan 15
New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: CA$55k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 26% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (18% average weekly change). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (CA$55k sold).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 6.3% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (25% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 6.3% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (CA$39.5m market cap, or US$28.6m). Reported Earnings • Aug 14

Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has fallen by 47% per year but the company’s share price has only fallen by 12% per year, which means it has not declined as severely as earnings.

Eastern Platinum Limited Provides the Retreatment Project Operations Technical Summary for 2019 and 2020 Eastern Platinum Limited provided the Retreatment Project operations technical summary for 2019 and 2020. The Retreatment Project is operated by the Company's subsidiary, Barplats Mines (Pty) Ltd. at its Crocodile River Mine property in South Africa. The Retreatment Project is a proprietary operation in South Africa producing chrome concentrates. It includes a combined hydro and mechanical re-mining method, magnetic separation applied to produce chrome concentrates, thus obtaining superior yield result compared to traditional gravity technology. The Retreatment Project is the only large-scale magnetic separation application in South Africa. Since 2017 Barplats has grown from 100 employees to over 350 contractors and employees engaged in supporting the Retreatment Project. The current Retreatment Project is expected to continue operating into 2024. Availability of the Retreatment Project as a 24-hour continuous operation (including chrome recovery plant, deposition and remining on the tailings dam) including planned maintenance has improved significantly from 76.43% in 2019 to 85.71% in 2020. The two years of successfully operating the Retreatment Project has laid the ground work to acquire the technical knowledge, confirm the upgrade required in the feed as well as establish the financial resources required to restart the PGM operations. Eastplats is currently reconfiguring and optimizing the small-scale PGM circuit which also includes funding for some of the initial work required to restart the main PGM plant circuit and the Company estimates the work to be completed before March 12, 2021. The extraction of PGMs will generate additional revenue sources and create new employment opportunities. Barplats has entered into an agreement with Advanced Beneficiation Technologies Proprietary Limited of South Africa to complete an independent feasibility study for the development and construction of a new modular plant with a capacity to process the PGMs from the tailings redeposited from the Retreatment Project at a designated area of the Zandfontein Tailings Dam at an expected rate of 50,000 tons per month. The Circuit H Project is being pursued to provide the opportunity to remine the tailings already deposited from the beginning of the Retreatment Project and extract additional value from PGMs. The Feasibility Study is in its final stages and the results are expected by the end of March 2021. The process was delayed by COVID-19 related impacts, particularly as it relates to the assay labs. Announcement • Jan 29
