Project releasedSept 2007

Open cast mine expected to produce at a steady state C1 cash cost of c.$3.50/lb

Ramp-up: 2009

Full production: 2011

Capital cost of R3.2 billion, >20% committed, mainly funded from Nkomati cash flows

CHROME a significant value contributor

• Oxidised lumpy chrome sales of 1 mtpa for 4 yrs

• Chrome concentrate sales of 1 mtpa (2011) from PCMZ plant completed and processing of chrome fines currently being stockpiled

Other By-products include:

• 110 000 ounces of PGM (Pt:Pd 1:2.7)

• 9 000 tpa Copper

• 250 tpa Cobalt
