1For the year ended 31 December 2024, interest expense includes non-cash interest of R291 million (2023: R299 million, 2022: R326 million) relating to the Wheaton Stream.

Although there is no cash financing cost related to this arrangement, IFRS 15 requires the Group to recognise a notional financing charge due to the significant time delay

between receiving the upfront streaming payment and satisfying the related performance obligations
