Stars
Roan Concentrator Operations
The upgraded Roan Concentrator hit full capacity in July 2025 and is now Jubilee Metals Group’s primary driver of Zambian copper growth, processing third-party ore and waste at 30,000 t/month targeted throughput.
By Q1 2026 it recorded a 172.8% YoY rise in copper unit production, boosting marketable concentrate output and underpinning the Three-Pillar Strategy while requiring capex for filter and tailings expansions (capex plan ~US$18–22m through 2026).
Molefe Mine (Pit 2) Expansion
Following the Pit 2 expansion, Molefe Mine entered a high-growth production phase in late 2025, feeding high-grade copper ore to Sable Refinery and boosting Jubilee Metals Group’s mine-to-metals model.
The mine is scaling toward 8,500 t/month of copper reef; at $9,000/t realized copper equivalent price, that implies ~ $76.5m revenue annualized if sustained.
Ongoing capex of ~ $12–18m in 2026 is needed for infrastructure and ramp-up, but high grades (estimated 2.8% Cu) are vital to seize Zambian copper-belt share.
Sable Refinery Copper Cathode Production
The Sable Refinery, Jubilee Metals Group’s central Zambian hub, refines copper concentrates into 99.99% cathodes for global markets and processed 54,200 tonnes cathode equivalent in 2025, up 18% vs 2024. Continuous expansions through Q4 2025 into 2026 raised nameplate capacity from 60kt to 80kt/year to handle increased feed from Molefe and Project G. As the region’s leading independent refinery, Sable commands ~12% regional market share in refined copper and benefits from rising demand for green-energy transition metals.
Zambian Copper Strategy Pillar One
Jubilee Metals Group’s Zambian Copper Strategy Pillar One processes third-party copper feedstock and historical tailings using proprietary hydrometallurgical tech, giving Jubilee a clear first-mover edge; FY2024 throughput rose ~48% to ~120 ktpa concentrate equivalent, driving revenue growth.
The segment is a Star in the BCG matrix: rapid volume growth from new long-term supply deals and modular plant roll-outs; capex and infrastructure needs are high but EBITDA margins improved to ~22% in H2 2024.
- Focus: 3rd-party feedstock + tailings
- Advantage: proprietary tech, first-mover
- Scale: ~120 ktpa throughput in FY2024 (+48%)
- Profitability: H2 2024 EBITDA margin ~22%
- Needs: high placement support, infrastructure capex
- Outcome: poised to be dominant cash generator
Project G Copper Mine
Project G Copper Mine began ramping up in Jan 2025, targeting incremental 1,800 t/month copper concentrate to Sable Refinery and contributing to Jubilee’s FY2026 target of +25% copper throughput.
Jubilee raised its stake to 65% in 2025, aiming to control small-to-medium mines and integrate processing; capex in H1 2025 was ~US$18m to reach full monthly output by Q3 2025.
Project G is a high-investment, high-growth star within Jubilee’s BCG matrix, expected to drive higher margins via feed security for Sable and support group copper expansion plans.
- Ramp start: Jan 2025
- Target supply: 1,800 t/month concentrate
- Stake: 65% (2025)
- H1 2025 capex: ~US$18m
- Full output target: Q3 2025
Jubilee’s Zambian copper: throughput to 160ktpa, ~22% EBITDA, US$30–40m capex, ~$76.5m rev
Stars: Jubilee’s Zambian copper assets (Roan, Molefe, Project G, Sable Refinery) show rapid volume growth, ~120 ktpa FY2024 throughput rising to ~160 ktpa target FY2026, H2 2024 EBITDA ~22%, capex need ~US$30–40m through 2026, and potential annualized revenue ~US$76.5m from 8,500 t/month at $9,000/t.
| Asset | Throughput/Output | Capex 2025–26 | EBITDA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roan | 30,000 t/month feed | ~US$30–40m | ~22% |
| Molefe | 8,500 t/month Cu reef | ||

Cash Cows
Chrome Processing Modules
Jubilee’s chrome processing modules were the company’s primary cash engine, delivering record chrome ore output of over 1.9 million tonnes in FY2025 and driving high margins and steady operating cash flow.
Management sold the physical chrome assets to One Chrome by end-2025, realizing US$90 million in divestment proceeds that now function as a financial Cash Cow to fund the Zambian copper expansion.
These proceeds underpin capital allocation for the copper pivot, replacing recurring chrome cash generation with a one-off but strategic liquidity pool while preserving Jubilee’s risk-adjusted growth path.
Sable Refinery Multi-Metal Capability
Sable Refinery’s multi-metal capability delivers steady, low-growth cash for Jubilee Metals Group by processing historical waste and third-party concentrates, with 2024 throughput ~120 ktpa and contributing roughly $18–22m EBITDA annually (2024 estimate) while copper expansion is pursued.
South African PGM Recovery (Post-Disposal Residuals)
Before its divestment in late 2025, Jubilee’s South African PGM recovery led the market in extracting value from chrome tailings, driving EBITDA growth of roughly 28% CAGR from 2021–2024 and annual EBITDA near US$12m in 2024.
The company successfully milked these assets and exited the South African PGM business at a premium valuation of up to US$90m in Nov 2025, realizing a sizable capital gain.
Cash inflows from the sale—about US$70–90m received between Dec 2025 and Feb 2026—are being directed to debt service (cutting net debt by ~40%) and funding R&D for new copper recovery circuits, with an initial R&D budget of US$4–6m allocated for 2026.
Inyoni PGM and Chrome Plant (Historical Performance)
The Inyoni PGM and Chrome plant was Jubilee Metals Group’s flagship in South Africa, holding a leading market share in tailings recovery with steady throughput and EBITDA margins around 22% in 2023–24, generating surplus cash that funded Jubilee’s 2021–24 Zambian copper entry.
Jubilee consistently produced free cash flow exceeding capex (approx. $8–12m annual FCF in 2022–24), and its mature, low-growth profile fit the BCG cash cow role.
The divestment at end-2025 sells a stable cash cow to reallocate capital into higher-growth copper, targeting doubled copper output by 2027 and higher IRR prospects.
- Flagship tailings recovery: high market share
- EBITDA margin ~22% (2023–24)
- Annual FCF ~$8–12m (2022–24)
- Divested end-2025 to fund Zambian copper growth
Third-Party Ore Off-take Agreements
Jubilee Metals Group’s long-term third-party ore off-take agreements in Zambia supply steady, low-growth tonnage—about 200–300 ktpa of ore in 2024—keeping refineries at baseline throughput and generating consistent EBITDA margins near 12–15%, enough to cover fixed operating costs with minimal marketing spend.
These partnerships minimize sales cost and stabilize cash flow during seasonal mine slowdowns; in 2024 they contributed an estimated $8–12m in recurring free cash flow, ensuring refineries stay productive even when primary feed dips.
- Steady 200–300 ktpa ore supply (2024)
- EBITDA margin ~12–15%
- Recurring FCF ~$8–12m (2024)
- Low marketing spend, long-term contracts
- Buffers seasonal mining disruptions
Cash‑cow assets cut net debt ~40%, yield $8–22m FCF and fund $4–6m copper R&D
Jubilee’s chrome and PGM recovery units (2021–24) and Sable Refinery (2024) acted as Cash Cows, generating annual FCF ~$8–12m, EBITDA margins 12–22%, and aggregate divestment proceeds US$70–90m in Dec 2025–Feb 2026 used to cut net debt ~40% and fund US$4–6m copper R&D for 2026.
| Asset | 2024 FCF (US$m) | EBITDA % | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chrome/PGM | 8–12 | 22 | Divested end‑2025 |
| Sable | 18–22 | ~12–15 | 120 ktpa throughput |
