The acquisition of Evander in 2013 was transformational for PAR as it paves the way for the company to become a mid-tier gold producer with a strong, long term project pipeline. Evander is producing c.95,000oz per annum

2

Barberton is a low cost, high grade, greenstone belt producing operation which has contributed significantly to PAR’s successful track record. Barberton mines produce c.95,000oz Au and Barberton Tailings Retreatment Project (“BTRP”) produces c.20,000 oz Au per annum

ETRP (Evander Tailings Retreatment Plant)

Background – ETRP (Evander Tailings Retreatment Plant)


• Mining started in the Evander basin in 1958

• A total of 203Mt of tailings @ an average grade of 0.32 g/t on surface

• First tailings pre-feasibility done by Harmony in 1998

• Project to cover:

- Refurbish Kinross metallurgical plant to nameplate capacity (240ktpm)

- Maintain current run-of-mine (ROM) processing profile (40ktpm)

- Fill plant capacity with tailings to 200ktpm (current surface sources will be depleted)

- Allow flexibility for future ROM increases

- Deposit tailings on Winkelhaak tailings storage facility (TSF)

- Utilise current Evander Gold Mines (EGM) infrastructure

• Hydraulic re-mining of Kinross TSF

• commence with high grade dam no. 1

• Slurry pumped to Kinross processing plant

• Current thickener arrangements are suited for tailings density control

• Sufficient water is available for the current water reticulation circuit

• Plant tailings to be discarded on Winkelhaak TSF

• New tailings transfer line and return water line commissioned

• Low operating costs due to common services and overheads – financial model based on incremental costs

• Winkelhaak TSF was refurbished and modified for cyclone deposition

• Current TSF capacity of 23Mt at Winkelhaak (10 years)

Conclusion

• Low risk implementation project

• Flexibility – Fluctuating ROM

• Construction phase completion – October 2014

• Full production expected in June 2015

Evander “Elikhulu” Project: (1 000 000t / month)

- Re-treatment of the tailings storage facilities of Kinross, Leslie & Winkelhaak

- Re-evaluated in 2009 / 2010 - Kinross – 42 holes drilled - Leslie – 90 holes drilled included 39 sonic drilled holes - Winkelhaak – 38 holes drilled - Grade model developed (signed off by SRK) - Pre-feasibility treatment rate of 12 Mt per annum - Test work indicated potential recoveries of above 40%

39



• In House Pre-Feasibility completed in 2010 – Test work done by SGS Labs

– Test work indicated the following recoveries:

Kinross: 47.8% Leslie: 40.7% Winkelhaak: 47.9%

– Stand alone plant

– Treatment rate of 12 million tonnes per annum

• Previously drilled however limited information available (core lost / incomplete information)

• 12-month drilling program conducted in FY11 (Dec 2010) – 23 Holes (20 106 meters) – 77 reef intersections – Indicated additional drilling required

• Geological model updated using combination of historical and new information (May 2011)

• Resource occurs at a depth of 500 to 1300 meters below surface

• Resource likely extends into Taung prospecting right (to be transferred)

ROLSPRUIT

ROLSPRUIT


• Rolspruit lies north of Evander 8 Shaft and is the down dip extension of the payshoot

• Rolspruit is a high grade orebody at depth of between approximately 1 800 and 2 800m

below surface

• Historically a total of 47 drill holes were drilled (with some 170 deflections) – not all

intersected the payshoot

• In addition geological information from Evander 8 Shaft was extrapolated into the Rolspruit

Area

• A process was initiated during FY2011 to update the geological model and the

Pre-Feasibility Study

• The Pre-Feasibility Study has been completed in Aug 2011

• Objective of the PFS was to show viability and to maintain reserve status

• PFS was based on a Single Option, 120 000 tons per month operation (not optimised)
