CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTSThis Annual Report on Form 20-F ("Annual Report") and the exhibits attached hereto contain "forward-lookinginformation" and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities LitigationReform Act of 1995 and applicable Canadian securities legislation that involve risks and uncertainties relating, but notlimited to, the Company’s current expectations, intentions, plans, and beliefs. Forward-looking information can oftenbe identified by forward-looking words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “goal”, “plan”, “target”, “intend”,“estimate”, “could”, “should”, “may” and “will” or the negative of these terms or similar words suggesting futureoutcomes, or other expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, intentions or statements about future events orperformance. Examples of forward-looking information in this Annual Report include: our reserve calculations withunderlying assumptions, production guidance, estimates of future/targeted production rates, planned mill capacityincreases, estimates of future metallurgical recovery rates and the ability to maintain high metallurgical recovery rates,Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc’s (“Caledonia” or “Company”) plans and timing regarding further exploration,drilling and development, the prospective nature of exploration and development targets, the ability to upgrade andconvert mineral reserves, capital costs, our intentions with respect to financial position and third party financing andfuture dividend payments. This forward-looking information is based, in part, on assumptions and factors that maychange or prove to be incorrect, thus causing actual results, performance or achievements to be materially differentfrom those expressed or implied by forward-looking information. Such factors and assumptions include, but are notlimited to: failure to establish estimated reserves, the grade and recovery of ore which is mined varying fromestimates, success of future exploration and drilling programs, reliability of drilling, sampling and assay data,assumptions regarding the representativeness of mineralization being inaccurate, success of planned metallurgical testwork, capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates, delays in obtaining or failures to obtainrequired governmental, environmental or other project approvals, changes in government regulations, legislation andrates of taxation, inflation, changes in exchange rates and the availability of foreign exchange, fluctuations incommodity prices, delays in the development of projects and other factors.Shareholders, potential shareholders and other prospective investors should be aware that these statements are subjectto known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially fromthose suggested by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to: risks relating toestimates of mineral reserves proving to be inaccurate, fluctuations in gold price, risks and hazards associated with thebusiness of mineral exploration, development and mining (including environmental hazards, industrial accidents,unusual or unexpected geological or structural formations, pressures, power outages, explosions, landslides, cave-insand flooding), risks relating to the credit worthiness or financial condition of suppliers, refiners and other parties withwhom the Company does business; inadequate insurance, or inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks andhazards, employee relations; relationships with and claims by local communities and indigenous populations; politicalrisk; availability and increasing costs associated with mining inputs and labor; the speculative nature of mineralexploration and development, including the risks of obtaining or maintaining necessary licenses and permits,diminishing quantities or grades of mineral reserves as mining occurs; global financial condition, the actual results ofcurrent exploration activities, changes to conclusions of economic evaluations, and changes in project parameters todeal with un-anticipated economic or other factors, risks of increased capital and operating costs, environmental,safety or regulatory risks, expropriation, the Company’s title to properties including ownership thereof, increasedcompetition in the mining industry for properties, equipment, qualified personnel and their costs, risks relating to theuncertainty of timing of events including targeted production rate increase and currency fluctuations. Shareholders,potential shareholders and other prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-lookinginformation. By its nature, forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, inherent risks anduncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections andvarious future events will not occur. Caledonia reviews forward-looking information for the purposes of preparingeach annual report, however Caledonia undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forwardlooking information whether as a result of new information, future events or other such factors which affect thisinformation, except as required by law. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue relianceon forward-looking statements.STATUS AS AN EMERGING GROWTH COMPANYWe are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 3(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, asamended (the “Exchange Act”) by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"), and we maytake advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other publiccompanies that are not emerging growth companies. We will continue to qualify as an "emerging growth company"until the earliest to occur of: (a) the last day of the fiscal year during which we had total annual gross revenues of6

US 1,070,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every 5 years by the United States Securities andExchange Commission (“SEC”)) or more; (b) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the dateof the first sale of equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (c) the dateon which we have, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than US 1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or(d) the date on which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer", as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2. Weexpect to continue to be an emerging growth company for the foreseeable future.Generally, a registrant that registers any class of its securities under section 12 of the Exchange Act is required toinclude in the second and all subsequent annual reports filed by it under the Exchange Act a management report oninternal control over financial reporting and, subject to an exemption available to registrants that are neither an"accelerated filer" or a "larger accelerated filer" (as those terms are defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2), an auditorattestation report on management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting. However, for so long as wecontinue to qualify as an emerging growth company, we will be exempt from the requirement to include an auditorattestation report on management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting in its annual reports filedunder the Exchange Act, even if we were to qualify as an "accelerated filer" or a "larger accelerated filer". In addition,Section 103(a)(3) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) has been amended by the JOBSAct to provide that, among other things, auditors of an emerging growth company are exempt from any rules of thePublic Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’sreport in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financialstatements of the company.SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING LINKS TO EXTERNAL WEBSITESLinks to external, or third-party websites, are provided solely for convenience. We take no responsibility whatsoeverfor any third-party information contained in such third-party websites, and we specifically disclaim adoption orincorporation by reference of such information into this report.NON-IFRS FINANCIAL INFORMATIONThis Annual Report contains financial statements of the Company prepared in accordance with International FinancialReporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). In addition, this AnnualReport also contains non-IFRS financial measures (“Non-IFRS Measures”) including “on-mine cost per ounce”, “allin sustaining cost per ounce”, “all-in cost per ounce”, “average realized gold price” and “adjusted earnings per share”as we believe these are useful metrics for measuring our performance. However, these Non-IFRS Measures do nothave any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presentedby other publicly traded entities. These measures should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as asubstitute for related financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS.FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUER FILINGSWe are considered a “foreign private issuer” pursuant to Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, asamended (the “Securities Act”). In our capacity as a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from certain rules under theExchange Act that impose certain disclosure obligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations underSection 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from thereporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under theExchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of our shares. Moreover, we are not required to file periodicreports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States companies whosesecurities are registered under the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required to comply with Regulation FD,which restricts the selective disclosure of material information.For as long as we are a “foreign private issuer” we intend to file our annual financial statements on Form 20-F andfurnish our quarterly financial statements on Form 6-K to the SEC for so long as we are subject to the reportingrequirements of Section 13(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. However, the information we file or furnish may not bethe same as the information that is required in annual and quarterly reports on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q for U.S.domestic issuers. Accordingly, there may be less information publicly available concerning us than there is for acompany that files as a domestic issuer.7

We may take advantage of these exemptions until such time as we are no longer a foreign private issuer. We arerequired to determine our status as a foreign private issuer on an annual basis at the end of our second fiscal quarter.We would cease to be a foreign private issuer at such time as more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities areheld by United States residents and any of the following three circumstances applies: (1) the majority of our executiveofficers or directors are United States citizens or residents; (2) more than 50% of our assets are located in the UnitedStates; or (3) our business is administered principally in the United States. If we lose our “foreign private issuerstatus” we would be required to comply with Exchange Act reporting and other requirements applicable to U.S.domestic issuers, which are more detailed and extensive than the requirement for “foreign private issuers”.8
