Important Joint Venture agreements have been concluded, exploration projects have advanced and a £1.5 million convertible note has been provided by a leading London based resource finance institution. The Company's flagship property, Tjate, has consistently yielded exceptional drilling results and is now progressing towards pre-feasibility study. The current exploration projects in Madagascar are at varying stages of development but show significant potential for large Nickel/Copper/PGM deposits, mineable from surface. We are happy to have cemented our presence in Madagascar, an under-explored country which appears to be showing a propensity for large scale bulk-metal projects. During the period under review the Company lost £498,978 (2005 - £299,855) and £1,125,800 was capitalised on exploration projects. This loss represents 0.67p per share against 0.46p in 2005. Platinum group and base metal prices have been very strong during the year and have highlighted the need for new discoveries. Your board has noted that joint venture and corporate activity is not confined to major mining companies but has extended to consumers and countries anxious to secure strategic stakes in future metal production. Jubilee continues to seek out new opportunities which will enhance its South African position in the platinum-rich Bushveld Complex; the objective being to secure 'bankable' PGM ounces to meet rising demand. The competition is understandably intense but Jubilee has developed credibility over the last four years and is now strongly positioned to take advantage of any opportunities. Jubilee has a joint venture with Impala Platinum Holdings on its Ambodilafa project in Madagascar where drilling has commenced. The Company recently announced a significant US$10 million joint venture with TransAsia Minerals - an emerging Indonesian based resource company - on its Londokomanana and Itsindro projects in Madagascar. Mindful of equity dilution these joint ventures have the effect of limiting new share issues and are aimed at sharing the early risk of exploration with companies who have the financial strength to build new mines. The Company is well funded to meet its current objectives and progress its portfolio of exploration and development projects. Finally, I would like to thank my fellow directors, management, operational staff and consultants for their tireless efforts in a busy but successful year. Malcolm Burne Chairman Operations Review 2005-2006 South Africa Tjate Project During the year under review, Jubilee continued to focus exploration efforts on its flagship Tjate property. On the Dsjate farm the Company drilled four boreholes DT4, DT5, DT6 and DT7 and fourteen wedge offshoot holes with a combined total of 3,669 metres. All four borehole results showed good grades and reef thicknesses that were consistent with the previous three boreholes DT1, DT2 and DT3. The Company is to start a second phase of drilling in the third quarter 2006 towards delineating a resource estimate. The Dsjate farm is one of three contiguous farms in the Tjate property, which comprises of an area totalling 5,143 hectares. The farms are immediately down dip of Anglo American's Twickenham Mine and Impala Platinum's Marula Mine on the Winnaarshoek farm. The entire project area has an exploration target of 65 million oz of 5 PGE (platinum group elements) and gold. The Company is presently engaged in a comprehensive drilling programme on the property with the objective of defining a mineral resource. On 12 June 2006, the Department of Minerals and Energy approved the conversion of Tjate Platinum Corporation's old order prospecting right to a new order prospecting right under the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (No. 28 of 2002).

The Company holds exploration licences for two contiguous properties: 1) Londokomanana (the northern part) under Exploration Licence PR (Permis Recherche) no. 5103 and; 2) Lavatrafo (the southern part) under Exploration Licence PR no. 10175. Londokomanana Property This property includes the ultrabasic (pyroxenite/dunite) formations: Antsahabe (centre of the property), Mavoandro (to the north of the property) and Antsatratakona, some 3 kilometres to the east of Mavoandro. During the year under review, the Company drilled borehole ANT1 (results tabled below) in Antsahabe, in an area of coincident geochemical and geophysical anomalies. The borehole intersected near surface an aggregated 48-metre thick near-vertical mineralised structure grading 0.62% nickel and 0.13% copper.

The area covered, included lateral relative high and low chargeability areas delineated from an earlier gradient array geophysics survey. The survey identified relative high chargeability response zones at depth, some coincident with geochemical anomalies and some not. The lateral relative low chargeability areas were associated with the ultrabasic formations. The lateral high chargeability responses could not be associated with the basic lithologies and were interpreted both laterally and at depth to be associated with possibly disseminated sulphides. The Company drilled a number of boreholes to test this interpretation. No significant sulphides were intersected and the interpretation proved to be incorrect. The applicability of DPDP geophysics as a tool for exploration in this geological environment was therefore considered inadequate. The Company subsequently focused on utilising geochemical soil sampling to delineate mineralised corridors (see Lavatrafo below) in Antsahabe and the Mavoandro- Antsatratakona formations further to the north. Antsatratakona features significant airborne geophysical electromagnetic ('E-M') anomalies identified in the 1960s. Since the year end, the Company entered into a joint venture Project Agreement with TransAsia Minerals Limited ('TransAsia'), a subsidiary private company of Indonesian based TransAsia Resources PT Group. TransAsia has acquired a 51% interest in the Londokomanana and Itsindro properties for a commitment to fund US$10 million on exploration over three years. TransAsia is an aggressive multi-commodity group with ambitions for growth in nickel production. Lavatrafo Property Exploration in the year under review included archival research, mapping, soil sampling, geophysics and drilling. Archival research and mapping uncovered several significant new extensions to the ultrabasic formations on Lavatrafo including two key new targets Amboasary and Ranomena. Lavatrafo Formation The Company carried out a geophysical survey, utilising induced polarisation (' IP') gradient array and DPDP methods, similar to that reported above for Londokomanana. The survey identified areas and zones of similar relative high and low chargeabilities both laterally and at depth. Again the lateral relative high chargeability areas were interpreted to be associated with possibly disseminated / massive sulphides and hence an alternative model for drilling. The Company initially drilled two boreholes LAV1 and LAV2A (results tabled below) within a relative low chargeability area associated with ultrabasic lithology and coincident with geochemical anomalies. The drilling results showed near-surface wide Ni-Cu-PGM mineralisation with indicated viable economic metal values for open pit mining. The Company then drill tested the alternative high chargeability DPDP model. No sulphide mineralisation was intersected in the high chargeability zones. This confirmed the inadequacy of the DPDP tool for exploration and demonstrated conclusively that soil geochemistry presents the optimum exploration approach in this geological environment. Nevertheless, the gradient array data generated from the survey complemented the Company's conventional ground mapping, since outcrop is relatively sparse in the area. The Company subsequently reverted to geochemical soil sampling to establish 'mineralised corridors' (trends along strike of anomalous copper and nickel values) in all the ultrabasic formations. Borehole LAV7, located some 1.5 kilometres south of and along strike from LAV1, was the first borehole targeted at a 4-kilometre long mineralised corridor established in the Lavatrafo formation. The borehole intersected 19m (apparent) width of PGE (platinum group elements), Ni and Cu mineralisation 35m down the hole (25m vertical depth). This result (see table below) supported the mineralised corridor model. More boreholes are targeted for drilling in this corridor in the coming season.

The Company reopened, deepened and resampled four trenches (C1 to C4 - results tabled below), which had been mapped previously as part of a 'platinoide' mission carried out in the 1990s. High PGM and nickel mineralisation values were obtained across trench lengths of up to 60 metres, particularly in C3 which included 8 metres @ 0.92g/t 2E (Pt,Pd) and 0.36% Ni and two 1-metre intervals @ 1.38 g/t 2E and 1.68 g/t 2E.

This marks Amboasary as a highly prospective target for further exploration. A programme of soil sampling has commenced and will be followed up with time-domain electromagnetics ('TDEM') survey. Ambodilafa Project The Ambodilafa Licence is located some 200 kilometres south-south-east of Antananarivo and covers some 194 square kilometres. The area includes the 56-square kilometre Vohipaha basic and ultrabasic gabbroic intrusive system, at the southern end of which lies the eight square kilometre Ambodilafa project. Regional reconnaissance drilling in the area in 1969 included an intersection of 93 metres of disseminated sulphides, containing pyrrhotite, pentlandite (nickel ore mineral) and chalcopyrite (copper ore mineral). The intersection included a 1.5 metre intercept assaying 2.2% Ni and 0.35% Cu. Later stream sediment sampling in 1990 defined several drainage catchments in the area, which showed anomalous platinum and palladium values. This earlier drilling, which followed geochemical anomalies, was carried out generally to the west of a significant geophysical E-M anomaly. A helicopter-borne Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetics ('VTEM') survey was carried out over this area. The survey identified a strong anomaly consisting of a flat lying circular feature some 80 metres below surface with an estimated thickness of up to 40 metres. Following this highly promising result, the Company entered into an option agreement with Impala Platinum Holdings ('Implats '), whereby Implats was granted the sole and exclusive right and option to acquire an undivided 51% interest in the Ambodilafa property by funding a total of US$5,000,000 for exploration. The Company successfully secured an environmental permit to carry out phase one exploration and drilling commenced on 18 September 2006. Lanjanina Project Lanjanina is located in south-central Madagascar some 180 kilometres south of Antananarivo. It represents some 7 kilometres of strike length and lies at the southern end of the 30-kilometre long basic-ultrabasic Itsindro Intrusive. Following a review of a previous IP geophysical survey and soil sampling data, the Company continued with further infill soil sampling and IP and DPDP surveys over those areas, which showed significant copper and nickel geochemical anomalies. The DPDP surveys indicated several sub-vertical high chargeability units which were generally coincident with these geochemical anomalies. These units were selected for preliminary scout drilling of three boreholes. The boreholes intersected semi-massive and massive sulphides, predominantly pyrrhotite, but the nickel and copper values overall were generally disappointing, although some individual samples returned encouragingly high values of up to 0.9% Ni and 0.6% Cu. Lanjanina remains highly prospective. Sierra Leone York Platinum Project Jubilee is in joint venture (80% interest and manager) with AIM-listed Golden Prospect plc (20% interest) on this 105.3 square kilometre York Platinum project in Sierra Leone. The project is located around the village of York some 37 kilometres south of the capital Freetown. No field exploration was carried out on the project during the year. The Company instead focused on a review of the previous year's exploration data in order to develop an effective programme for the next phase of exploration, which is anticipated to include geophysics followed up by preliminary drilling. The licence covers the central part of the Freetown Layered Gabbro Complex. This is a layered sequence of gabbroic and troctolitic rocks with some of the cyclical units having anomalous platinum, palladium, chromium, vanadium, nickel and copper mineralisation. Previous exploration by the Company and others have traced this mineralisation, with anomalous geochemical sampling platinum values of up to 0.84g/t over a strike length of 8.5 kilometres. This exploration also discovered a new parallel reef-like horizon two kilometres to the east over a strike length of 1.2 kilometres and which remains open ended. A new trench yielded up to 0.44 g/t platinum in highly weathered, laterised rock, while soils showed anomalous values of up to 0.35 g/t platinum. Other Projects Houtenbek (97JT) and Mapochsgronde (500JS) The Houtenbek and Mapochsgronde properties are located in the southern sector of the eastern Limb of the Bushveld Complex. The Company, through its subsidiary Dullstroom Plats (Pty) Ltd applied for new order prospecting rights, having held old order rights on both properties. The DME did not grant the rights and the Company is appealing against this decision. Grasvally (293KR) The Company entered into a 70% earn-in agreement with MSA Projects on their Grasvally property subject to the property being granted a converted new order prospecting right. This conversion right was granted on 22 August 2006. The 663-hectare Grasvally property, which represents the last currently known and untested block of Platreef ground in the Bushveld, is situated just south of Mokopane (formerly Pietersburg), squarely between the Platinum Group Metals' War Springs deposit, Caledonia's Rooipoort deposit and the Pan Palladium Volspruit deposit. Approximately 5 kilometres of potential Platreef outcrop have been identified through a geochemical soil-sampling programme undertaken by MSA during 2004. A comprehensive diamond-drilling programme was designed to drill test these anomalies and form the basis of initial resource estimates. The initial phase of diamond drilling commenced on 17 September 2006. The Platreef is a wide platinum-bearing reef occurring along approximately 100 kilometres of outcrop on the northern limb of the Bushveld Complex. This open-pittable reef zone has been the focus of significant and well publicised exploration during the past five years, with several major and junior mining companies having embarked on extensive and successful drilling programmes in the zone. One of the major benefits of this wide reef zone is that, in addition to significant contained platinum and palladium, there is also substantial associated nickel and copper credits, making the Platreef an exciting, low-cost, polymetallic prospect. Bokfontein (448QT) and Elandsdrift (467JQ) The Company carried out a geologic assessment with some limited percussion drilling of the Bokfontein and Elandsdrift farms near Brits in the western Bushveld to test a postulated occurrence of a split UG2 type reef on the properties, which lie up dip of the known UG2 outcrop in the area. On Bokfontein, a low grade chromitite reef, which the Company believes strongly to be UG1 reef, was intersected at shallow depth. On Elandsdrift no reef was intersected. The postulated split UG2 theory was not proven and further work is not contemplated on these small acreage properties. Buffelsvlei (170JS)/Zaaiplaats (150JS) New order prospecting rights were granted for the Buffelsvlei/Zaaiplaats farms, which are located near Groblersdal in the eastern sector of the Bushveld Complex. The property is contiguous to and east of the Blaauwbank ('Blue Ridge ') farm on which Ridge Mining is developing its Blue Ridge Cu-Ni-PGM project. The project area is bisected by the Steelpoort fault. The Company commissioned a geologic appraisal of the prospectivity of these farms for similar PGM occurrences and formations to those which underpin the Blue Ridge property. The appraisal concluded that the risk rating for PGM exploration of the Buffelsvlei - Zaaiplaats project area is medium to high risk. Test drilling is scheduled for next year. Salliesloot (718KS)/Zwartkop (720KS) New order prospecting rights were granted in respect of the properties Salliesloot/Zwartkop and in which Jubilee is in an unincorporated joint venture 80% with the prospecting right holder Ex Terra (Pty) Ltd 20%. The Salliesloot/Zwartkop farms, near Marble Hall in the eastern sector of the Bushveld Complex are located on the northern limit of a 'tongue' of Transvaal Supergroup ('TS') rocks, which have been brought (domed) to the surface. The TS classically underlies the Bushveld complex and the anomalous occurrence of these rocks in the area has led to a model postulating that the Critical Zone of the Bushveld Complex may have been brought within accessible mining depths in the area by the above doming event. Rocks with petrographic similarities to those from Main Zone, which classically lie above the Critical Zone, have been recorded and mapped historically as being present in the area. The Company drilled a lithological scout borehole to 476 metres and intersected generally fine-grained hornfels (thermally metamorphosed sediments of the TS) but not Main Zone lithology. The Company is reviewing this model and historical map data, which suggest that the hole may have been up dip of two plotted norite outcrops and that a second hole, if deemed appropriate, should be located to the north of the drilled borehole. However, since drilling to 800 metres or more may be necessary to support or otherwise this geologic model, the Company is focussing in the short term on its other more prospective and advanced projects.

The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Group's operations. The main risks arising from the Group's financial instruments are liquidity risk and currency risk. The Directors review and agree policies for managing these risks and these are summarised below. Short-term debtors and creditors have been excluded from all the following disclosures. Liquidity risk The Group seeks to manage financial risk, to ensure sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably. This is achieved by placing surplus funds on deposit. At the balance sheet date the Group had £100,000 on seven-day deposit at an interest rate of 4.29% and £4,100,000 on monthly deposit at an interest rate of 4.45%. Currency risk The functional currencies of the companies in the group are Sterling, South African Rand, and Madagascan Ariary. The Group does not hedge against the effects of movement in exchange rates. These risks are monitored by the board on a regular basis. Borrowing facilities and interest rate risk The Group finances its operations through the issue of equity share capital. There is no significant borrowing and therefore no exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Fair values The fair values of the Group's financial instruments are considered equal to the book value. 21 CAPITAL COMMITMENTS Neither the Group nor the Company had any capital commitments at 30 June 2006 or 30 June 2005. 22 FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS The Company had the following commitments under non-cancellable operating leases as at 30 June 2006: Land and buildings 2006 2005 £ £ Within 1 year 12,000 18,250 23 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES There were no contingent liabilities at 30 June 2006 or 30 June 2005. 24 TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTORS No Director had, during or at the end of the year, a material interest in any contract which was significant in relation to the Group's business. 25 CONTROL The directors consider the Company to have no ultimate controlling party. 26 POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS (1) The Company has granted options to subscribe for Ordinary 1p shares as follows: Date granted Period exercisable Exercise price Number of per share options (pence) 6 September 2006 6 September 2006 to 6 September 2014 78p 25,000 11 September 2006 11 September 2006 to 11 September 2009 80p 200,000 11 September 2006 11 September 2006 to 11 September 2009 100p 120,000 (2) On 15 September 2006, the Company announced that it has received the appropriate regulatory approvals to embark on the first phase of exploration drilling on its prospective nickel-copper-PGE Ambodilafa project in Madagascar.
