Two Rivers Platinum lights up the night sky. As this paper contains the last mining and industry pages of the year, it is only fitting to end it with such a beautiful photo: Another year flew past and as TRP reflect back on 2012, some of the memories were truly awesome, but unfortunately there were some sad ones. Regrettably we have lost one of our colleagues earlier this year and the mere thought that there is a family without their loved one, especially during this festive Season, brings about a lot

of sorrow and sadness. We firmly believe that we have learned out of this tragic event and are confident that we will achieve greater heights on our journey to Zero Harm. 2012 Has presented a number of challenges, and along with it also a number of opportunities for Two Rivers Platinum. They have reached some significant safety milestones. They have managed to withstand tough market conditions and they have exceeded their production targets, with various new records being set. TRP also had the privilege to see two very successful projects coming on line to further enhance an already prosperous mine. The Tailing Re-treatment Plant was

commissioned and they completed the very successful Merensky Trial Mining Project. Management would like to thank all those involved in their operations, their families and the surrounding communities, for their hard work and dedication throughout the past year. They wish all employees and their loved ones a blessed and

safe festive season. May they all receive the gift of love and peace that our Savior Jesus Christ brought upon us, and remember what this period is really about. Please travel safely and return with renewed energy and focus, ready to face the challenges that lie ahead in 2013.

Let us together take Two Rivers to even greater successes next year and beyond!

Storm gets tailThe storm of Sunday afternoon in

Lydenburg had a definite tail and storm watchers were afraid of it becoming a full

fledged tornado. Thank you to all the readers that brought in photos.

Daar het groot chaos geheers in Burgersfort Donderdag, 22 November, toe

die taxi eienaars en die SAP van Burgersfort hul misnoe met mekaar

probeer uitstryk het. Van die omstanders het gemeen dat die taxi eienaars ontevrede was dat hulle (Burgersfort, Jane Furse en

Steelpoort) almal een staanplek in Burgersfort moes deel! Die SAP van

Burgersfort was gou op die toneel en kon darem uiteindelik die verkeer reguleer.

Chaos in Burgersfort

The Heads residential area in Lydenburg was partly flooded on

Sunday after heavy rains. Some of the residents played in the water but it was clearly a flood not to be taken lightly.

Briewe aan die Redakteur

DIE OUTOPPIE SE KOMMENTAAR

Misdaad - jou aandeel?DIE bekamping van misdaad kan nie deur die Polisie alleen hanteer word nie. Die omvang is te groot en die aard te kompleks. Maar, ons wat nie in wetstoepassing is nie, trek ons skouers op en s dis nie ons probleem nie. Party maak indirek goeie geld uit misdaad en kyk doelbewus anderpad. Skrootwerwe is n goeie voorbeeld.Hoeveel ou HiAce minibustaxis loop met dieselenjins? Dink jy regtig daai ou het vir die enjin en die ombouing betaal? Nee, dit kom tien teen een uit n gesteelde Hilux. Dink jy die ou wat n

aansitterslot vir sy motor of fiets by jou koop, se ou slot is regtig stukkend? Dring jy aan om die ou een te sien? Kyk jy as verkeersman wat n motor stop, of daar n sleutel in die ontstekingslot is?Dink jy die nommerplaat waaaruit jy geld maak is wettig? Gaan jy dit na?Koop jy selfoonsakkies, laaiers, horlosies of notebeursies by straatverkopers? Natuurlik, dis goedkoop! Dis mos werkskepping. Die Sjinees betaal die ou mos om die goed te smous. Waar is die Sjinees se winkel? Jou winskoop is iemand se besigheid se verlies.Irriteer jou buurman se alarm jou? Mooi, dit sal jou ook wakker hou! Dalk help sy alarm om jou goed ook op te pas.Verhuur jy as agent n huis aan n snaakse karakter sonder vrou of kind? Weet jy dat as hy n dwelmhandelaar is, hy n beter huis as jy

kan bekostig. Een waarvoor jou dogtertjie waarskynlik help betaal. Daarvan gepraat, jy weet hoeveel jou kind verdien en hoeveel hy by jou kry. Hoe lyk sy lewenspeil? Gee hy meer uit as wat hy kan verdien? Hy is dalk n smous of sy iets anders.Hoe lyk jou Polisie of werkskollega se lewenspeil? O ja, hy het n besigheid, so hy kan die duur motor, huis en vrou met die juwele bekostig. Regtig? Dis hoekom staatsamptenare wegkom met die twak.Jou probleem is jy is bang. En blind / doof. En gierig, want jy score dalk bietjie besigheid. Maar jy is self n slagoffer. En jy blameer die Polisie.Hoeveel van julle se huise / erwe of motors staan oop? Hoeveel handsakke / selfone l oop en bloot? Hoe donker is jou huis / erf snags? Dit my vriend, is jou aandeel tot misdaad. Dit is hoe jy, sonder om eers te probeer, die bliksems help. Noem my paranoes. Is reg. My medelandsburgers bring nie hulle kant nie, daarom is ek so. Ek het ook n gewete. Ek probeer (tevergeefs) aan n morele en etiese standaard vaskleef. Help my, dan word ons almal weer normaal.

Jeremia 48:8 En die verwoester sal kom oor elke stad, sodat geen stad sal vryraak nie; en die dal sal ten gronde gaan, en die gelyk veld sal verwoes word, soos die Here ges het.Here laat U genade kom wanneer U die onregverdige en die regverdige oordeel - Amen.

Lynette Hinton van Lydenburg skryf: Gorgeous het hulle eerste geskenke mark gehou. Lynette en Mariki wil baie dankie s vir die oorweldigende ondersteuning van Lydenburg se mense, asook die ander uitstallers wat gehelp het om hierdie geleentheid n sukses te maak.Die teetuin was n groot trekpleister en vele dames het heerlik gesellig saam gekoek en tee. Die welkome ren het egter gesorg dat ons net twee half dae kon uitstal en nie soos beplan tot 18h00 laatmiddag nie. Na talle navrae van mense wat dit nie kon bywoon nie het ons besluit om tussen 11h00 en 1400 op weeksdae uit te stal by Lydenburgstraat 4. Kom loer gerus in of skakel Lynette by 083 441 4298.

Dankie aan diegene wiemark ondersteun het

Corrie van der Merwe skryf:Ek besluit vanoggend om na baie lank uitstel, te gaan aansoek doen vir my lisensiekaart. Maandae is van 12h00 - 12h30. Bietjie min tyd, dink ek so by myself, maar mens weet nooit wanneer die gode vir jou glimlag nie. Daar gekom, kry ek woeps-waps die vorm wat ek moet invul en daarna gaan vir oogtoets. Voor my wag 2 mense om ook hulle oe te laat toets. Na omtrent 20 minute se wag en niemand in sig nie, vra ek die dame wat ook wag of daar iemand is wat die toetse doen. Hulle het iemand gaan roep, s sy. Ek gaan toe terug na die kantoor waar ek my vorm gekry het, vra na die persoon wat die toetse moet doen. Iemand is op pad, word ek verseker. Na my sarkastiese vraag of dit nog vandag sal wees, word ek verseker, ja, vandag nog. Terug by die oogtoetskamertjie, staan ek en rondkyk, toe ek 'n ouerige man tydsaam uit die toetsstasie sien kom saam met nog 'n werknemer van die munisipaliteit, al geselsende. Na omtrent 5 minute maak hy dit toe darem tot by die oogtoetskamertjie. Ek kom toe uiteindelik so 12h50 terug by die toonbank waar ek moet betaal. Daar word ons klomp wat wag, seker 'n stuk of 7 van ons, ingelig dat sy (die kassiere) haar etenstyd vir niks opoffer nie, en sy maak 13h00 toe. Met nog 5 mense voor my besef ek teen die trant wat die transaksies gevoer word, is daar geen kans dat ek teen 13h00 geholpe sal wees nie. Ek vra toe hoe lank is haar ete en word meegedeel 13h30 is hul weer terug.Ek ry so 13h45 terug. Daar gekom, is die veiligheidshek steeds gesluit met 3 mense wat al van 13h25 af wag. 13h55 besluit die eerste kassier om ons te vereer met haar teenwoordigheid. Ek wil toe weet moes die kantoor nie al 13h30 oopgemaak het nie? Ja, maar sy moes haar ete kortknip nou, en net omdat sy aan ons gedink het wat in die tou staan.....Die versoeking was groot om neer te val en haar inniglik daarvoor te bedank, maar teen die tyd het die rook al gedraai. 14h05 kom die dame daar aangedrentel wat luidkeels aangekondig het sy offer haar etenstyd op vir niks nie. Nou wil ek graag weet. Is dit nou maar hoe dinge gedoen word, want toe ek skakel om hieroor te kla , word ek na die EINSTE dame deurgesit wat eers 14h05 teruggekeer het. Sy is kwansuis die hoof van die afdeling.....Ek is stomgeslaan.

Chatter away in Letters to the EditorTwiet jou gedagtes in

Almal wat Afrikaans kan praat, hetsy as

eerste of tweede taal, moet weet hulle het n verantwoordelik-heid om die taal lewe te gee en dit

te laat voortbestaan.

Die land het Maandagaand om 19:00 afskeid geneem van n Afrikaanse legende, Riaan Cruywagen. Ons het wel gewoond daaraan geraak om hom op die kassie te sien met die Afrikaanse Nuus. Maar soos mens maar is, let jy nie altyd op nie. En die afgelope maand het die bydraes wat Riaan Cruywagen gelewer het tot Afrikaans en die uitsaaiwese behoorlik tot ons ingedring.Hy het bykans 7 000 nuusbulletins uitgesaai en dit was ook die 7 000 aande wat hy nie by sy gesin was nie. Hy beskou dit nie as n opoffering nie, maar as sy deel tot die voortbestaan van die uitsaaiwese en Afrikaans. Riaan het talle onderhoude toegestaan oor die afgelope tyd en in elke berig wat daar oor hom geplaas is word daar van sy fyn sin vir humor gepraat en ongelooflike kennis van ons taal. Ons taal. Ons taal waarin ouers nie meer kinders korregeer as hulle Engelse woorde meng nie. Sommige ouers weet deesdae ook nie wat die regte woord in Afrikaans is nie en die taal is deurspek van Anglisismes. My stuiwer in die armbeurs is, om nou heeltemal van Riaan se uittrede af te dwaal, dat die woord huidiglik nie bestaan nie. Die korrekte woord is huidige gebeure of tans. n Kollega van my gebruik huidiglik, maar ek byt op my tong. Daar word geskryf dat Riaan altyd bereid was om mense te help met die taal en uitsaaiprobleme as hulle vir hulp gevra het. Ek dra graag my Hoorhierso-rubriek aan Riaan Cruywagen op, hierdie week. Bloot net omdat Afrikaans my kos is en taal (hetsy in Engels of Afrikaans) ook my botter-en-brood is.

Baie sal Riaan onthou as die bekende stem van Haas Das

se Nuuskas, en ek as redakteur, rubriekskrywer en kind van

Suid-Afrika kan nog die kenwysie sing.

Mining & Industry 0729 November 2012

DRIVERS OF CHANGE GO BOLDLY WHERE OTHERS FEAR TO TREAD

With their focus on maximum returns and profitability, conventional financial institutions as well as big corporates often exclude millions of people who need their services and products. Two Rivers Platinum strongly believes that as business entities, they cannot survive in an unhealthy environment. Understanding the needs of their immediate communities and integrating them into its long-term business planning, is not a nice to have but a business imperative. It is right - morally, ethically and in any other way. As a result, they recently established an Incubation Programme which targets young unemployed local entrepreneurs and develops them into sustainable entities with the potential to manufacture and supply the mine with various goods and services. They currently have 15 active local SMMEs in this programme and mostly owned by local youth aged between 18 and 35.

We strongly believe that investment in social good is about patient capital with a social imperative and the belief that if you do just enough of the right things for long enough, profitability and sustainability will be realized, says the Business Leader of Two Rivers Platinum Mine. Our business survival is integrally linked to our environment as well as to the souls of our immediate communities. To this end we committed to increase our total procurement spend to 12%, which will be focused on local SMMEs, because we believe that as we grow, the living conditions of the communities around the mining operations should be better off. This programme is part of our long-term growth strategy, says Morne van Esch, the Financial Leader at Two Rivers Platinum.

The current crop of SMMEs enlisted in the Two Rivers Platinum's Incubation Programme, including Mphele Manufacturing, is proof enough that if communities and the mines can work closely together, they can create more jobs and reduce the high rate of unemployment, which is currently prevalent in the local communities. Most of the SMMEs on their database came from the communities closer to the operation, with no or very little business background, With the proper business development set up, led by the Socio-Economic Development Department (SED) at the mine, as well as the support from the various Heads of Departments, they have realised tremendous growth within a short space of time and they also demonstrated lots of potential. By allocating specialized and core engineering as well as mining contracts to these young entities the mine has gone into areas where other operations and business operating in rural areas generally fear to tread. This can be credited to the transformation of its own supply chain and the understanding of the various challenges faced by the operations in the area, by key internal stakeholders and the passion as well as the commitment so far, displayed by the young entrepreneurs.

A community which experiences the highest unemployment rate and has the lowest levels of skills and literacy can only be enabled to fight itself out of the situation through these types of innovative thinking and thus ensuring a systematic eradication of poverty, which is entrenched within rural communities, concluded Mr de Beer.

ie dag vir die Abraham Kriel kinderhuis was vol pret, na n gesukkel om al hierdie geskenkies, wat vanaf sover as DThailand, Pretoria, en Kaapstad, vir die gemeenskap

gebring is. Die oggend het vroeg begin met n opening in die ontspanningsaal, waar die besoekers uit ons streek voorgestel is en die kinders aan hulle bedankings oorhandig het. Die verrigtinge het begin met n groepindeling. Groep een het begin met basketbal, groep twee en drie was besig met ernstige sokkerwedstryde en groep vier het lekker touch rugby gespeel.Daarna het almal middagete geniet. Michael Malan van Sebenza Scafolding het n manne chat aangebied. Die watersport was vet pret en die kinders het met n glybaan tot in die swembad gegly en die gewone boeresport geniet. Teen laat middag het Kersvader almal ingewag by die ontspanningsaal vir geskenke. Elke kind het drie Kerswense neergepen en met die hulp van die gemeenskap is elke kind se Kerswense bewaarheid. Die dag is met n regte outydse sokkie afgesluit. Dankie aan Michael Malan (Sebenza Scafolding), Natacha Oosthuizen (ASA Metals) en Bianca Wheeler (ASA Metal) wat kinders

laat glimlag het met die moeite wat hulle gedoen het. Almal was dit eens dit lekker was om weer kind te voel. Spesiale dank gaan aan: Die Hemelse Vader vir die geleentheid en die voorreg om sulke projekte te kan aanpak en met soveel oorgawe te kan geniet, Bennie en Jacqueline Barnard (Xstrata Lions), Jacky Boshoff (Burgersfort Castle House), Jannie Oosthuizen (NGS Burgersfort), Babara Kaplan (Nieuwco Burgersfort), Lynette en Natie Coetzer (Construction 2YK), Naranja Packers, Rozanne en Hettica van Schalkwyk (Burgersfort Elektries). Dankie aan elkeen wat sy hart en beursie oopgemaak het om vir hierdie kinders hul spesiale wense waar te maak.

Samancor ECM in partnership with OSC did the renovation of the building which included the painting of walls, fixing and painting of ceilings, and the repairs on the ablution facilities.The renovation is part of ECM's commitment to care for the community and to ensure that vulnerable children and poor families get proper care and support services in a healthy and safe building. The manager of the CSDI, Mrs N.R Maphanga expressed her gratitude to the Samancor Eastern Chrome Mines.

Due to the high accident statistics on the roads surrounding Steelpoort, Samancor Eastern Chrome Mines, has launched a poster design competition, as part of their Road Safety Campaign.The winning posters will be used in road signs depicting the categories derived from the major accident causes.The 5 highest causes of accidents are: Alcohol Usage Cell phone Usage Road Rage Illegal Overtaking SpeedingThese were also the 5 categories for the competition. Children of all ages were invited to design a poster relating to these 5 causes. The winning poster for each category won R200 cash. The winning posters will be printed on road safety boards, which will be displayed on roads surrounding Steelpoort. The winners were:Jacolet van EedenClarissa FourieMarcel VeldsmanJaco WesselsJaco Veldsman

The annual Winterveld Festival was held on 24 & 25 August 2012. As previous years it was a huge success with a lot of entertainment for the whole family. MTE supported ECM again this year with their annual Mining show. The festival kicked off with a live show from Pieter Smith.Saturday morning was started with a CANSA walk for CANSA which was held to raise funds for cancer patients. Afterwards the crowds were entertained with the SoapBox Derby, where the team of Estates demonstrated How not to participate in a SoapBox Derby.SoapBox race was won by Tubatse Geckos and runners up Team Tweefontein. The potjiekos competition showed a lot of potential this year. Teams really made an effort with dcor and team spirit. The winners was : Seafood: Barloworld, White meat: Pam Golding, Beef: Tyre Corporation, Game: Tubatse Jagters and Overall Winners: Tubatse Jagters. Pots were judged by old Springbok legends Kraynauw Otto and Pieter Hendriks. Entertainment for the rest of the day included Snotkop, Nadia Chrystal, Wasserfall and the band Havana Gas. Chaos entertained the crowd with a Strongman competition, and this is where the men were divided from the mice. Some ego's were busted and some morale's were boostedThe committee would like to thank everybody who participated and everybody who supported the festival. And a special word of thanks to the sponsors who made the day a reality, especially Forever Resorts Swadini and Blydepoort who sponsored some of the prizes.

Under the auspices of the Eastern Limb HRD forum another successful Career Expo was hosted at the Winterveld Recreation Club. Samancor, Eastern Chrome M i n e s a c c e p t e d t h e invitation to act as host and c o o r d i n a t e d a l l t h e arrangements and logistics to contribute to a very popular intervention. The EXPO was officially opened by the General Manager from Samancor, ECM, Mr Emile Britz and guest speaker Dr Chris White from the Premier s Off ice , Limpopo, expressed his appreciation to all who contributed and supported this event. Dignitaries from all the mines in the Eastern Limb region and various government departments including MERSETA , MQA Department of Labour and FET college's also attended.

Change was the gift given to all South Africans by Nelson Mandela. In the spirit of Madiba and his vision to spread justice and freedom for all, this was our opportunity to become part of a global movement for good. By becoming a Mandela Day Changemaker, we showed that actions speak louder than words, by devoting some of our time to make a difference in the lives of others that are less fortunate than us. On 18 July 2012 the volunteers of Samancor ECM set out to some of the schools in the area, and handed out soup and bread to 1 000 children. These schools included Mangabane, Makgakantshe, Dithamaga, DeBad and Tingeling. Some locals were also surprised when soup was handed out at the road works between Steelpoort and Lydenburg, and at Steelpoort station.This project was a huge success and we would like to encourage everybody to think of what you are going to do next year with your 67 minutes?

ECM leaving their mark on Road SafetyECM Cares is one of our Values that each and every Samancor Chrome employee draws close to heart. The connecting road between Steelpoort and the Polokwane / Burgersfort Road is notorious for the high numbers of accidents and near misses as it had no road marking lines assisting in governing road users. Caring from a mining point of view, entails that we care for those whom we employ and those who are affected by our operations in the area. This responsibility for our actions and our actions affecting those around us also is strongly embedded in the employee duties in terms of the Mine Health and Safety Act. Further in current day mining safety awareness, the Department of Mineral Resources requires mining license holders to assist in safety awareness and safety improvement of not only the mine worker, but also the person in the vicinity of the mine, including road users in that area.The painting of the road lines was done in close cooperation with the Limpopo Department of Roads and Transport (DRT). They participated in the meetings with the contractor to ensure that the plans, specifications, implementation plan and safety measures for affected road users were in line with the DRT specifications. The guidance and verification of the DRT was evident not only in the negotiations, but they were on site throughout to ensure that the indicated process, quality and accuracy of the markings were to the legislative standards.In an effort to ensure that road safety is tangible and to

improve the safety conditions of road users, Samancor Chrome ECM have a system in place to replace or repair damaged road signs and also have started clearing overgrowth on dangerous turns and bends to increase visibility. Ensuring that the road markings and required safety signs remains to standard, is only the first step in increasing the safety of road users on this road. The most important safety initiative is to get road users to comply with set legislative standards and adhere to the rules of the road. With Samancor Chrome taking responsibility to maintain the physical conditions of this road, road users are urged to be accountable for their actions on the road ensuring that their actions do not endanger the lives of other road users.In conclusion the marking of the road is a tangible symbol of Samancor Chrome caring for employees, neighbors and visitors to our area.

Samancor ECM invests in community and employees Throughout the year Samancor ECM has frequently placed articles and adverts in the Highlands Panorama News. From as early as January they wrote about Tubatse Chrome making a difference. Other articles ranged from Samancor ECM invest in skills, Tubatse Chrome Lab, Community involvement at Tubatse Chrome and many more articles throughout the year. One of their bigger projects was the Shavathon. Samancor has yet again stressed the fact that they help the community where possible, always put their employees first and care for the people of South Africa.

Samancor Chrome's history goes back as far as 1975, when it was established as a result of a merger between SA Manganese Ltd and Amcor Ltd. SA Manganese was formed in 1926 to mine manganese ore in the Northern Cape. Amcor was established in 1937 to exploit mineral deposits for the steel industry and to process those minerals into ferralloys. Samancor was listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange until 1998 when the minority shareholders were bought out by the then majority shareholders, Billiton and Anglo American. This resulted in the delisting of the company and shareholding of 60% African Metals Ltd (a BHPB Company) and 40% Anglo South Africa Capital (Proprietary) Ltd (an Anglo American company).Samancor then consisted of chrome and manganese operations and stainless steel investments with marketing and distribution arrangements via structures held wholly and indirectly by BHPB and Anglo American. Towards the end of 2004, bids were invited for the purchase of Samancor Chrome. The successful bidder, the Kermas Group, effectively took over the operations from 1 June 2005. In November 2009 International Mineral Resources (IMR) became the majority shareholder in Samancor Chrome Limited with a 70% direct shareholding in the holding company, Samancor Chrome Holdings (Pty) Limited.South Africa currently supplies in excess of 50% of worldwide charge chrome demand. This position can be ascribed to the following factors: The Bushveld Igneous Complex, which contains nearly 70% of the estimated wor ld rese rves o f ch romi te ; The development, in the early sixties, of the AOD process which facilitated the introduction of South African charge chrome into the stainless steel industry; and Historically cheap power, driven by the existence of extensive steam coal reserves.Over 80% of Samancor Chrome's chrome ore output is consumed in the production of ferrochrome in South Africa. The remainder of the ore is exported. Some 85% of chrome alloy production is exported to stainless steel producers across the globe. Stainless steel, a steel alloy, typically contains 18% chrome and 8% nickel. The chrome content in stainless steel gives it its luster, shiny appearance and resistance to corrosion. Our outputs include the chrome ore extracted

by our mines and chrome alloys produced by our plants. Samancor Chrome's five fully integrated and self-reliant chrome alloy plants have a combined annual production capacity of more than one million tons of alloy, including charge chrome, intermediate carbon ferrochrome (IC3), low-carbon ferrochrome and ferrosilicon chrome.Our mining operations' total combined ore resources exceed 450 million tons, calculated to a depth of 300 metres, with an annual production capacity of between five and ten million tons. The company's total chromite resources exceed 650 million tons and are expected to support current mining activity for well over 200 years at the current rate of extraction. Some ores and concentrates are exported, but main allotments are destined for conversion into ferrochrome at the alloy plants. Samancor Chrome's core business is the mining and smelting of chrome ore. With an annual capacity of some one million tons, Samancor Chrome is one of the largest integrated ferrochrome producers in the world. We produce three grades of ferrochrome, namely charge chrome, intermediate carbon ferrochrome and low carbon ferrochrome, each used in different areas of the stainless steel smelting process. Samancor Chrome is a private company which recently underwent a change of ownership: previous shareholders BHP Billiton (60% ownership) and Anglo American (40% ownership) sold the company to the Kermas Group in June 2005 after evaluating several offers to arrive at the option promising the most prosperous future for the company and the best value for shareholders. In November 2009 International Mineral Resources (IMR) became the majority shareholder with a 70% direct shareholding in the holding company, Samancor Chrome Holdings (Pty) Limited. Three ferrochrome plants and two chrome ore mining complexes operate as separate business units in different locations in South Africa: Western Chrome Mines in the Rustenburg area in the North West Province. Eastern Chrome Mines near the Lydenburg / Steelpoort area of the Limpopo Province. Ferrometals near eMalahleni , Mpumalanga Province. Middelburg Ferrochrome and Middelburg Te c h n o c h r o m e n e a r M i d d e l b u r g ,

M p u m a l a n g a Province. Tubatse Ferrochrome in the L y d e n b u r g / Steelpoort area of t h e L i m p o p o Province.Samancor Chrome is the second largest f e r r o c h r o m e producer in the world, producing, subject to market conditions, in excess of 1 million metric t o n n e s ( M t ) o f cha rge ch rome, approximately 70 thousand metr ic t o n n e s ( K t ) o f Intermediate Carbon Ferrochrome, and some 40 Kt of Low C a r b o n Ferrochrome per annum. In addition, Samancor Chrome sells more than 700 Kt of chrome ore per annum on the export market.

Dwarsrivier sets a foundation in 2012of excellence in all their endeavors

hromi te opera t ions a t the Dwarsrivier Mine form part of the CChrome Ores & Alloys of Assmang

Limited. The mine is situated on the farm Dwarsrivier (372KT), approximately 30 kilometres from Steelpoort and 60 kilometres from Lydenburg, in the Mpumalanga province in South Africa. Located at longitude 3005'00E / latitude 2459'00S, Assmang purchased the farm from Gold Fields Limited, together with all surface and mineral rights in October 1998.Neighbouring properties to the north and south of Dwarsrivier had existing chrome mining operations at the time of purchase. The feasibility study of the plant, tailings dam and designs for the open-cast and underground mines then commenced. After the completion of the feasibility study, approval to proceed with the final design and construction work was given in July 1999.

All the chromite production from Dwarsrivier Mine is sourced from underground. Chromite used to be obtained from the open-cast mining areas at a rate of approximately 0.9 million tons per year; however these reserves were exhausted in 2005. Underground mining commenced in 2005 at a rate of 1.2 million tons Run of Mine (ROM) per year. Current underground design capacity is 120,000 tons per month ROM. The Dwarsrivier Mine is specifically geared to deliver high quality metallurgical grade chromite to the Machadodorp Works. In addition, the plant has been designed to produce chemical grade products. The mine has ISO9001/2008 and ISO14001/2004 certification. The Dwarsrivier Mine is situated in the eastern limb of the Bushveld Complex, which comprises persistent layers of mafic and ultramafic rocks, containing the world's largest known resources of platinum group metals, chromium and vanadium. The mafic rocks termed the Rustenburg Layered Suite, are approximately 8 kilometres thick in the Eastern Lobe, and are divided formally into five zones.The rocks of the Marginal Zone at the base of the succession consist mainly of pyroxenites with some dunites and harzburgites. Above the Marginal Zone, the Lower Zone comprises mainly pyroxenites, harzburgites and dunite, and is present only in the northern part of the Eastern Lobe, and only as far south as Steelpoort. The appearance of chromitite layers marks the start of the Critical Zone, economically the most important zone. The layers are grouped into three sets termed the Lower, Middle and Upper groups. The sixth chromitite seam in the Lower Group (LG6), is an important source of chromite ore and is the ore body being mined at the Dwarsrivier Mine. In the Eastern Lobe, in the vicinity of Dwarsrivier, the strike is nearly north-south, with a dip of approximately 10 degrees towards the west. Average thickness of the LG6 seam is about 1,86 metres in the Dwarsrivier area. Pipe-like dunite intrusions are evident in the area, as well as dolerite dykes that on average strike northeast-southwest. No significant grade variation is evident, especially not vertically in the ore seam. Small, insignificant regional variations do, however, exist. Dwarsrivier Mine currently operates with a complement of 1,165 employees. In addition, certain functions such as tailings dam operations, as well as security services, health services, garden services and office cleaning services are outsourced. The mine is currently developing a North shaft which, when complete, will add a further 80,000 tons of ROM material per month to the current capacity. The beneficiation plant will be expanded to cater for the additional feed.(www.assmang.co.za)

Overview of XstrataEastern Mines

The wholly-owned Helena Chrome Mine lies to the south of Xstrata's Thorncliffe Chrome Mine on the Eastern Limb of the Bushveld Complex. Mining the MG1 ore body, the mine consists of a four barrel decline shaft system sunk on reef. The shaft system produces 80 000 tons per month using a mechanised bord-and-pillar mining method and is currently ramping up to 100 000 tons per month. Ore will be transported to the Helena Plant by means of overland conveyors.The initial development of the Helena shaft portal commenced in November 2004.Shaft sinking of the four barrels continued, which allowed the first stoping from Helena shaft in early 2005. The mine continues to ramp up to steady state production of 100 000 tons per month. Helena consists of a single 100 000 ton production shaft which equates to 1.2 million tons per annum production capacity. Xstratas wholly-owned Thorncliffe Chrome Mine lies to the north of Xstratas Helena Chrome Mine on the Eastern Limb of the Bushveld Complex. Mining the MG1 ore body, the mine consists of a four barrel decline shaft system sunk on a reef. The shaft system produces between 100,000 and 110,000 tons per month using a mechanised bord-and-pillar mining method, and ore is transported to the Thorncliffe Plant by overland conveyors. The initial development of the Thorncliffe shaft portal commenced in March 1997. The reef that is mined is the MG1, mined at a stoping width of between 2 m and 2.2 m with very little external waste. In the reef itself, lenses of waste are encountered, which give a level of dilution, which usually does not exceed seven per cent. Mining takes place using a mechanised bord-and-pillar mining method. The reef strikes from south to north and dips at about 12. However, mining is on an apparent dip of nine degrees. Access to the mine is via a set of twin declines. Thorncliffe produces between 100,000 tonnes and 110,000 tonnes per month run-of-mine (ROM), which is fed through the mine plant, where processing yields a 70% recovery. This equates to between 1,440 kt per annum. Xstratas Lydenburg operation is located in Lydenburg, Mpumalanga, which is approximately 300km north east of Johannesburg. The plant produces granulated and lumpy ferrochrome which is marketed to producers of stainless and special steel. Lydenburg Works commenced production in 1977, and was taken over by Chrome Corp in 1997. It became an Xstrata operation in 1998. Lydenburg Chrome operation was the first Xstrata operation to utilise the leading energy-efficient Premus technology. Xstrata Lydenburgs ore is obtained from other Xstrata chrome mines in the eastern limb of the Bushveld Complex, such as Xstrata Helena and Xstrata Thorncliffe. Lion Ferrochrome is the latest addition to Xstratas chrome division which utilises Xstratas Premus technology for the production of low silicon ferrochrome. Premus is the most sophisticated, competitive and technologically advanced process available for the production of ferrochrome. The process is able to maximise resource utilisation by utilising low cost reductants and fine ores whilst being the most environmentally friendly practice available for the production of ferrochrome. The plant is supplied with ore from Xstrata Eastern Chrome mines i.e. Thorncliffe, Helena & Mototolo which is a joint venture between Xstrata and Anglo situated 22 kilometres from the smelter. Xstrata Lion was a brown field project that utilized the infrastructure of the decommissioned Vantech vanadium plant. Construction started on the 14th of December 2004 and was executed by Xstrata alloys projects department and commissioned during the third quarter 2006. First product was despatched to customers early in the fourth quarter 2006. The project was completed within budgeted costs and time frames.

MODIKWA Platinum Mine is an independently managed, 50:50 joint venture between ARM Mining Consortium Limited and Rustenburg Platinum Mines Limited. The mine is on the border of the provinces of

Mpumalanga and Limpopo in South Africa, approximately 25 kilometres west of the town of Burgersfort. It forms part of the Eastern Limb of the Bushveld Complex and operates under a mining right covering a total area of 140 square kilometres.The current mine infrastructure consists of two major decline shafts, namely North Shaft and South Shaft, three adits on Onverwacht Hill and a concentrator. The mine is a hybrid operation with conventional stoping, and trackless development and ore clearance. Modikwa Platinum Mine mines the UG2 horizon exclusively, from surface to 450 m below the surface. The mining method at Modikwa is conventional breast stoping with strike pillars. Modikwa Platinum Mine's life-of-mine (LoM) at current production levels extends to 2087. The current LoM plan consists of a Mineral Resource (exclusive of Ore Reserves) of 60.5 million 4E ounces and an Ore Reserve of 8.4 million 4E ounces.Modikwa Platinum Mine acquired the prospecting right for a portion of the Doornbosch adjoining property from Randgold and Exploration Company Limited. The property has Mineral Resources of 160,000 4E ounces and will provide short-term flexibility to South Shaft. Articles in the Highlands Panorama News throughout the year included stories about

SEVEN Lydenburg Enduro Riders battled the (in)famous Roof of Africa in Lesotho over the past weekend.The race consisted of three days of gruelling Extreme Enduro riding in the Maluti mountains of Lesotho. There were 3 categories: Intermediate, Expert and Pro which could be entered. International riders like Graham Jarvis, unbeaten for the last 18 months, and the well-loved Kiwi, Chris Birch were also at the starting line. Jarvis, 2011 winner was dethroned by the 16 year-old South African, Wade Young, (see story on page 21) with our very own locally known rider, Altus de Wet (from Montague) finishing in second place in the Pro category. The challenges at the roof include passes like Pressure Cooker, Push Me Pass, Free Fall and other more unmentionable names which the riders will all deem apt for the terrain. It all started in Maseru with Round-The-Houses with dirt tyres on tarred roads. This very exciting spectating section was won by South African Dakar rider, Darryl Curtis. Then the first day's racing followed, consisting of aTime Trial, which determined starting positions for day two. Lydenburg riders Brett and Brendan Sakkie Swanevelder, Barries Guru Barnard, Johan Gutzeit Janse van Rensburg,and cousins Johan Engineer van der Merwe and Stephan Cousin van der Merwe all braved the routes on KTM's while Ivan Morse took on the challenge with his Yamaha. They all finished their full distances for day 1 and 2. Brett Swanevelder and Johan van der Merwe had to retire due to injury. Ivan finished 2 days of the Pro class and the Expert route on the third day, walking away with a silver medal. Barries Barnard started his third day with a hamstring tear, but endured with great character and finished the Expert Silver medal before the cut-off time. There were 185 riders in this category, in which Johan Gutzeit Janse van Rensburg finished his Silver in

than incredible 35 position, and Stephan van der Merwe came in for a flying thSilver finish in 10 position.

Other local favourites included Pieter Botha from Nelspruit, who also achieved a silver medal, and Rian Ackerman, the most sought after gold finish.All the riders would like to acknowledge and thank their families and friends as well as the Lydenburg Honda / KTM team for their invaluable support.Joey Van Der Merwe.

IN the spirit of a safe and carefree festive season, the best way to prevent on-road hassles like a flat tyre, or even a traumatic accident, is to take your vehicle for a safety check offered as a free service by countrywide tyre fitment network Hi-Q. You'll be spending time on the road and it is wise to do this as safely as possible. Hi-Q Communications Manager Lize Hayward said motorists put their trust in Hi-Q stores and the network's complimentary safety check was one way of enhancing their vehicle safety. Tyres may look fine, but they will be markedly safer, perform better and be more fuel efficient if they are optimally balanced and correctly inflated. In fact, running a tyre just 20 per cent under-inflated could increase fuel consumption by as much as 10 per cent! That's a lot to pay for just a little fresh air! Hayward explained that an under-inflated tyre deflects more energy, increasing rolling resistance and making the vehicle less fuel efficient. It also reduces the tread life of the tyre, which means you may have to replace it sooner than necessary. Most importantly though, it is plain dangerous. If tyres are incorrectly inflated, the vehicle won't accelerate, brake or steer properly. Safety devices like antilock braking systems may not function properly and driving an under-inflated or overloaded tyre at high speeds, especially on a hot summer day, increases the risk of a dangerous blow-out.They will perform the 10-point safety check on your vehicle. This entails checking all four tyres plus the spare for tread depth and pressure, the front and rear shock absorbers, the brake pads, discs and fluid, as well as the battery, exhaust and wiper blades.Should any of the vehicle checks highlight a worn or faulty part, the technician will recommend the correct course of action. Hi-Q stores are one-stop fitment and undercarriage parts stockists, so customers can get the problem sorted out and be back on the road again safely and quickly. This comprehensive check is an absolutely free service we offer motorists. Road safety is a key driver behind the Hi-Q brand. It provides our customers with the peace of mind that comes from knowing they have taken responsibility for their own and their families' road safety.Good vehicle maintenance also reduces the impact of fuel emissions into the atmosphere, so by ensuring the health of your car, you will also be contributing to the freshness of our air. What better time than summer?By email

WITH local entrepreneurs Charlie and Arista Rothman initiating a meeting at Rooikat Park on Tuesday 4 December, the plan is to establish an oval track as well as a go kart track locally, for motorsport fans.Although such a facility would be expensive, with proper planning it could be developed over time. The possibilities are endless: Think of an oval track, the go kart track and one could easily add an obstacle track for 4x4s, off-road (motocross) bikes and quads. One needs some earthmoving equipment to make a good start and companies c o u l d b e c o m e i n v o l v e d s p o n s o r i n g s t a n d s f o r spectators, corners, humps etc. etc. A few good corporate sponsorships should get the ball rolling. For the story and the advert, refer to page 17. Come on all you petrolheads, lets attend the meeting.

FEVER Criterion Yamaha's Wade Young (16 years old and riding a Yamaha YZ 250 F) made history this past weekend when he, against all the odds, became the youngest winner of the Roof of Africa, renowned as one of the toughest extreme enduro's in the world.Young, in his first ever attempt at the Roof of Africa, took on the world's best extreme enduro riders, including the likes of U.K.'s Graham Jarvis, who has virtually won every extreme enduro around the globe in the last two years and was the defending 2011 Roof of Africa winner, and beat them by over 11 minutes at the end of the three day, 492km long, epic held in the Maluti Mountains of Lesotho. The first day of racing, which is made up of the Round the Houses race followed by a 60km time trial, which determines starting positions for the main race beginning on the Friday, saw Young finish second behind fellow Yamaha rider Marc Torlage (Proudly Bidvest Yamaha YZ 290 F) and just ahead of Torlage's Proudly Bidvest Yamaha team mate Kenny Gilbert (YZ 290 F) - the trio giving Yamaha a clean sweep of the Day 1 podium.Young took over the lead from Torlage early on in the Friday racing section of some 235km's and quickly built up a ten minute lead, which he maintained right through to the finish line on Saturday afternoon.Torlage, suffering from a badly sprained left thumb, dropped down the order to as low as eleventh position at one stage, but showed true guts and determination to fight back to a well deserved fifth overall by the Saturday finish line. His team mate, Kenny Gilbert, also fought back from suffering

Youngest rider ever wins the Roof of Africa - on a Yamaha

from severe dehydration on Friday to cross the Saturday finish line in sixth position. The Yamaha trio's collective effort also secured the Manufacturers Trophy for Yamaha!!In the Expert class (for riders attempting 75% of the race route) Yamaha took a clean sweep of the winner's podium with Gary Barton (Bell Equipment/LCS Yamaha YZ 250) taking the class victory ahead of Faan van Deventer (Pa Ma Racing Yamaha YZ 250 F) and Stephen Landman on board a Liquorland Yamaha WR 2450 F.So, Yamaha leave the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho basking in the euphoria of victory, holding our trophies up high and chests swollen with pride at the success of our riders and reliability and race prowess of our bikes. The Maluti Mountains have indeed been painted bright blue in 2012!!!By email

FOR the last six years Yamaha distributors South Africa has offered a remarkable race support program to any Yamaha rider entering into the gruelling Roof of Africa held annually in Lesotho. The nature of this three day event places huge strain on both bike and body, and riders not only have to worry about racing their bikes for three solid days, but also have to concern themselves with the re-preparation of their bike each evening for the following day's onslaught into the Maluti Mountains. As a Yamaha rider entering the Roof of Africa, this problem is taken care of by the Yamaha Factory Support Program. A massive Yamaha pit is set up in the car park of the Maseru Sun, and with a team of qualified Yamaha mechanics and assistants even those riders that enter the event just to finish and achieve their own personal goals are treated like a pro rider. Bikes are dropped off at the Yamaha wash bay (powered by POWASOL), job cards are made out, and the rider then can leave to take care of his nutrition and rest needs, confident in knowing that in the morning his bike will be waiting, fully prepared for the days racing ahead. The Yamaha Factory Support team ensure that all bikes are cleaned, serviced, repaired, tyre changes etc., as per the rider's request. And all of this is provided free of charge to the loyal Yamaha rider. The only thing that a rider

could potentially be b i l l e d f o r i s h i s consumption of spare

parts (which enjoy a 30% discount off retail pricing at the race) and tyres/mousses/tubes etc. All labour and lubrication products are provided for as part of the free service offered by Yamaha.This year, Metzeler tyres provided support for the tyre changing functions, whilst Mazda provided three Mazda BT50 double cab 4x4's to transport the Yamaha Factory Support crew to and from Lesotho, as well as getting those crews out to the various service points over the three days of the race, because the Yamaha Factory Support effort is not just limited to the end of the racing day support, but continues onto the various service points on the race track.This awesome service is truly welcomed by the Yamaha Roof of Africa entrant's - and envied by those that are not on Yamaha's, as the below testimonials attest to:Just wanted to say what an excellent service I experienced from Yamaha at the Roof on Friday. Bike had a few niggles after Friday. You guys took care of everything and I finished Expert on Saturday. Extremely impressed!! Special thanks must go to Brad awesome service! Well done to Yamaha. This sort of service will keep me riding one. Cheers Adriaan Otto via e-mail.Thank you for Yamaha's fantastic support, working late in to the night getting our bikes ready, you guys are the best!!!
