AMANDELBULT PROJECTS OVERVIEWLocality of Projects

Longer term projects:

• Middellaagte has

been identified through

the ABC study to be

the next major project

as a potential Tumela

Mine replacement

project (ahead of the

Tumela 1#),

comprising of a new

decline from surface

with the preferred

mining method being

Narrow Reef

Mechanised Fleet.

Mine within a mine:

• Dishaba ore reserve

generation and

infrastructure upgrade

project.

• Two replacement projects have been identified, maximising value largely off existing infrastructure to mitigate the

overall declining production profile, reducing the AISC of the mine and delaying major capital expenditure:

15E drop down - Narrow Reef Mechanised Fleet trial mining section, producing c.55koz pa (Pt)

62E raisebore shaft – c.10 years replacement project, producing c.81koz pa (Pt)

CHROME RAIL SIDING

CHROME RAIL SIDINGProject Overview

• The objectives of this project is to reduce the cost of transporting chromite from the Amandelbult chrome

pad to the Pendoring rail siding in Britz. By extending the existing railway line at Amandelbult, the need

for trucking of chromite is eliminated, resulting in a monthly cost saving.

• The project essentially consists of additional shunting rail at Tussenin siding, extending the existing rail

past the chrome pad, load out facilities at the chrome pad and extension of the gravel road near the

chrome pad.

• Project completion is expected by end 2018.
