blue diamond recovered from the Cullinan Diamond Mine in April 2021 for
US$40.2m
* Balance Sheet:
+ Consolidated net debt reduced by nearly two thirds to US$241.2m at 30
June 2021 from US$700.4m at 31 December 2020 (31 March 2021: US$290.7m)
following completion of the capital restructuring in March 2021
+ Unrestricted cash of US$156.9m at 30 June 2021 (31 March 2021:
US$139.8m; 31 December 2020: US$92.4m) with an additional US$7.7m of
undrawn banking facilities
+ Diamond debtors of US$38.3m at 30 June 2021 (31 March 2021: US$2.6m),
given the close proximity of the June 2021 tender to Year end, with
debtors settling shortly after Year end
+ Diamond inventory valued at US$54.3m at 30 June 2021 (31 March 2021:
US$75.5m)
+ The ZAR/USD exchange rate closed the Period at ZAR14.27/USD1 (FY2020:
ZAR17.32/USD1), with an average rate for FY2021 of ZAR15.41/USD1
(FY2020: ZAR15.68/USD1)
* Outlook and FY 2022 guidance:
+ FY 2022 production guidance of 3.3 to 3.6 Mcts, with the South African
operations estimated to contribute ca. 3.1 to 3.4 Mcts and Williamson,
where plans are currently being refined to allow operations to restart
during Q1 FY 2022, estimated to add between 0.22 to 0.27 Mcts for the
Year
+ Discussions with the Government of Tanzania to reach agreement on
various issues at the Williamson mine are ongoing, with a view to being
concluded during Q1 FY2022. The Company also reports that US$10m ofa
VAT refunds were received from the Tanzanian Revenue Authority in two
separate payments during Q4 FY 2021
+ Re-engineering projects initiated in July 2021 at Finsch and
Koffiefontein to comprehensively review and improve the mines' cost

Richard Duffy, Chief Executive of Petra Diamonds, commented:
"The Petra team has navigated a difficult FY2021 by delivering credible results
whilst addressing numerous challenges around COVID-19 and the completion of our
capital restructuring. This makes Cullinan's record performance, driven by
Project 2022, all the more noteworthy. We enter FY 2022 with a considerably
strengthened balance sheet and a more supportive diamond market than we have
seen for some time."
Conference Calls
Petra's Chief Executive, Richard Duffy, and Finance Director, Jacques
Breytenbach, will host a conference call at 9:30am and at 4pm BST today to
discuss the Trading Update with investors and analysts. Please see below for
dial in details.
Trading Update
Health and safety
The Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) for FY 2021 increased to 0.44 (FY
2020: 0.29). The LTIs during the Period were mostly behavioural in nature and
of low severity but are nevertheless concerning. A number of remedial actions
have been taken, and various behaviour-based intervention programmes launched,
which resulted in an improving trend during the Year. The total number of
injuries during FY 2021, which includes LTIs, decreased to 42 (FY 2020: 45).
Petra continues to target a zero-harm working environment.
COVID-19 continues to pose a significant risk to the health and safety of the
Group's workforce. Petra has implemented systems and strategies across all its
operations aimed at preventing and/or containing the spread of the virus. To
date, there have been 589 confirmed cases amongst the Company's workforce. More
information on the Company's response to the pandemic is available on its
website: https://www.petradiamonds.com/sustainability/health-and-safety/
our-response-to-covid-19/.
Production and Operations
FY2021 production decreased 10% to 3,240,312 carats (FY 2020: 3,589,176
carats), notwithstanding record annual production from Cullinan, of 1.94Mcts.
As previously announced, production at Finsch was impacted by unexpected levels
of waste ingress during Q2 FY 2021, with subsequent mitigating measures
reducing throughput during the second half of the Year. In addition, production
at both Finsch and Koffiefontein was impacted by the high level of rainfall
during the third quarter. These factors, combined with the Williamson mine
remaining on care and maintenance throughout FY 2021, resulted in the Group's
ROM tonnages for the Year decreasing by 33% to 7.7Mt (FY2020: 11.5Mt).
Diamond market
Positive demand for rough diamonds continued in Q4 FY 2021 driven by strong
consumer demand in the key retail markets, notably the US and China, coupled
with low inventories and the return of capacity in the midstream in India.
Demand was also supported by upstream supply discipline and shortages in some
areas.
Demand for rough diamonds is expected to remain robust in the second half of
CY2021, with retailers anticipating continued strong consumer demand. The
Company continues to closely monitor the impact of COVID-19 on its clients'
ability to attend tenders and will continue its flexible approach in planning
its upcoming sales events.
Diamond Sales
FY 2021 revenue increased 38% to US$406.9m (FY 2020: US$295.8m) driven by sales
from Exceptional Stones contributing US$60.2m during the Year (FY 2020:
US$14.9m); the highest annual contribution to revenues from the sale of
Exceptional Stones. On a like for like basis, realised diamond prices in Q4 FY
2021 increased ca. 5.7% from those achieved in Q3 FY 2021.
The Company managed to make use of improving market conditions towards the end
of the Period to dispose of low value stock built up in previous periods; this
resulted in additional sales of US$3.1m, releasing ca. 141,000 carats, which
caused some dilution in average prices achieved in Q4 FY 2021. The table below
reflects average prices achieved for normal ROM sales in Q4 FY2021 and FY 2021,
and the impact of the low value stock sold in Q4 FY 2021 on the average prices
for the respective periods. In addition to the sale of low value stock, the ROM
average price for Koffiefontein in Q4 FY2021 was impacted by low volumes and
poor product quality.

1 Prices include Exceptional stones
In April 2021 the Company announced the recovery of an exceptional 39.34ct blue
stone from the Cullinan mine. The diamond was sold via a special tender post
Period end to a partnership between De Beers and Diacore for US$40.2m, or
US$1,021,357 per carat. This is the highest price Petra has ever achieved for a
single stone.
Project 2022 Update
The implementation of throughput ideas remains the largest contributor to
improving operational cash flow, led by Cullinan's record recovery of 1.94Mcts
in FY 2021. Due to reduced throughput at Finsch, Koffiefontein and Williamson,
expectations on the annualised contribution from throughput initiatives were
reduced to around US$50m in the Company's previous Trading Update. The Company
remains confident that it will achieve the annualised contribution of US$50m,
supported by measures taken to curtail the waste ingress at Finsch.
Initiatives undertaken to drive cost efficiencies are expected to contribute an
annualised US$20m going into FY 2022 and remains unchanged from previous
guidance.
The Project 2022 Organisational Design Review was completed during FY 2021 and
will result in updated role descriptions providing for clearer line of site and
improved accountability.
Corporate and Financial
Consolidated net debt reduced further to US$241.2m as at 30 June 2021 from
US$290.7m at the end of March 2021, and US$693.2m as at 30 June 2020.
Petra Diamonds had unrestricted cash of US$156.9m (30 June 2020: US$67.6m),
available undrawn banking facilities of US$7.7m (30 June 2020: US$ nil),
diamond debtors of US$38.3m (30 June 2020: US$4.8m) with the June 2021 tender
closing at Period-end, and debtors settling shortly thereafter, and diamond
inventory valued at US$54.3m as at 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: US$84.1m). Both
Diamond Debtors and Diamond Inventory for FY 2020 were significantly impacted
by the inability to host tenders during Q4 FY 2020 following the initial
COVID-19 outbreak.
Update on community and remedial programmes at the Williamson Mine
On 12 May 2021, the Company announced that it had reached a settlement, on a no
admission of liability basis, in relation to claims brought in London by the UK
law firm Leigh Day, on behalf of a number of anonymous claimants. These related
to alleged breaches of human rights, associated with third-party security
operations, within the Special Mining Licence area of the Williamson Diamond
Mine.
The agreed total settlement figure included significant funds which Petra has
committed to invest in restorative projects dedicated to providing long-term
sustainable support to the communities living around the mine. In addition,
both the Company and Williamson Diamonds Limited have taken a number of
actions, which are detailed in the announcement published on 12 May 2021 titled
'Findings of the independent Board Sub-Committee'. The announcement can be
accessed on the Company's website:
https://www.petradiamonds.com/our-operations/our-mines/williamson/
allegations-of-human-rights-abuses-at-the-williamson-mine/
Having already established the Operational Grievance Mechanism for complaints
and grievances related to operational impacts, the Company has continued with
the process of the design and implementation of a non-judicial, Independent
Grievance Mechanism to address allegations of severe human rights impacts. A
series of engagements with Government Ministries and Agencies, Civil Society
and NGOs were conducted in Dodoma and Dar es Salaam, seeking feedback and
support on the proposed design of the Independent Grievance Mechanism. The
company has specialist external support from Synergy Global Consulting in the
development of this process. Synergy is a specialist international consultancy
with over twenty years' experience working with companies, governments and
community-based organisations.
Shortly after Period end, Petra Diamonds Limited paid in excess of £1m into an
escrow account to fund the restorative programmes, which will benefit the
communities surrounding the mine. Synergy has been formally appointed to manage
these funds, and they will work closely with the communities and local NGOs on
the formulation and implementation of these programmes.
The programmes are intended to provide long term sustainable benefits to local
communities through income generating projects. These include:
* feasibility studies into a formalised artisanal tailings project at the
mine and an agri-business project;
* the establishment of enhanced community clinical and medical support;
* managed access to parts of the mine for local residents to collect firewood
and graze animals and
* the launch of a Gender Based Violence campaign to raise awareness and
provide specific support and counselling for victims of gender-based
violence.
During the period from 1 April to the end of June 2021, there were a total of
109 incidents of illegal incursions onto the Williamson mine lease area,
resulting in three illegal diggers suffering minor injuries and being provided
with treatment at the Mwadui hospital and another local medical facility before
being discharged. We believe the contracted security teams and Tanzanian police
acted in accordance with the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights.
There was some damage caused to police and contracted security provider
vehicles in 5 of the incidents. A total of 18 arrests were made over this
three-month period.
In addition to the local community projects mentioned above, the Company is
also continuing its engagement with communities around the mine to highlight
the dangers of illegal mining, seeking to reduce illegal incursions onto the
Williamson mine lease area.
The Company will continue to monitor the effects of the actions taken to date
and is committed to the programmes and initiatives detailed in its 12 May
announcement referenced above.
Board
Following completion of the capital restructuring, the appointment of Mr.
Matthew Glowasky as a Non-Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company
became effective; his prospective appointment was initially announced on
22 December 2020.
On 1 July 2021 the Company announced the appointment of Deborah Gudgeon as an
Independent Non-Executive Director and Chair-designate of the Audit and Risk
Committee. In addition, on 1 July 2021 Alexandra Watson and Johannes Bhatt
were both appointed as Non-Independent Non-Executive Directors, having been
nominated by Franklin Templeton, and Monarch Master Funding 2 (Luxembourg)
S.a.r.l. respectively. The Company welcomes the new Directors to the Board;
together they bring a wealth of experience, complementing that of our existing
Directors, and their appointments leave the Board well placed to take the
Company forward.

Notes:
1. Petra operates an internal projects / construction division and, although
this division's spend is reported in the Group's total Capex, it is policy
not to account for it on a specific mine's Capex until the work completed
is invoiced to the relevant operation.
2. Petra's annual Capex guidance is cash-based and excludes capitalised
borrowing costs.
