Introduction

• Wesizwe is in the process of building a PGM mine on the bushveld complex.

• Project was given approval to proceed on 4 July 2011.

• It is intended that at full production stage, the mine will deliver up to 350koz per annum over a 35 year life of mine.

• The introduction of a Chinese Consortium, as the strategic equity partner and funder, ensures that the project is fully funded through to full production:

– With no shareholder dilution until production commences.

• Wesizwe also owns a fully funded 26% stake in the adjacent PTM‐managed Maseve Project.

Key asset differentiators

l l h ll l b• Relatively shallow in relation to industry producers – MMD 850mbc.

• High mining extraction – 74%.

• Thick Reef widths ‐ 1.4 to 1.7 m ‐ higher operating efficiency and yields.  

• Favourable Prill Split – high Pt tenor therefore improved basket value. 

• Head grades amongst the best in the industry:

• Combined resource of 82Mt at 5 1g/t (4E) or 13 47Moz (CPR June 2008) over 1 42m• Combined resource  of 82Mt at 5.1g/t (4E) or 13,47Moz (CPR – June 2008) over 1.42m, 

• Merensky reserve grade 4.84g/t and the UG2 reserve grade of 3.36g/t.

• Merensky dominates production for the first 18 years.

• Flexible mine design based on flat dipping reef.
