15

Mining methodsConventional mining on the Merensky

• Jackhammers, face / strike / dip winch scrapers into ore passes.

•Loaded at muck bays on UG2 and trammed to ore passes

Hybrid mining on the UG2• Jackhammers & face scrapers on Face•Drill rig in ASG•Ore loaded in ASG by and trammed to ore passes

16

Overall mining layout: simple because of flat lying nature of reef and well defined sections

17

Mining logisticsTramming levels below UG2 horizonTram ore and waste to shaft.Trackless tramming with trucks back to shaft ore passes.

The layout allows flexibility to negotiate geological structures.

Underground crushing, then ore passes into crushed rock silos

Fed by chute onto belt and into 20t skips Hoisting calculated on 23 day & 18 hrs/day cycles per month.

In summary…….

What we have is……….

Excellent technical fundamentals • A superb ore body• Fully explored with drill holes a general 250 m grid

and 125 m grid in the capital footprint verified and confirmed by 3D seismic survey

• High level of confidence in the economic and structural geology with continuous, flatly dipping reef (3-5 deg) that lends itself to optimal mechanised mining of MR and UG2

• High Merensky reef grades with higher than average prill splits (metals basket value) with an excellent Rhodium kicker

42

as well as........

Viable fundamentals• A good Bankable Feasibility Study showing a tangible

mine – it is being built• Costs derived from live database of existing

operations• Costs underpinned by zero-based costing• Planning is based on actual experience before during

and after project establishment• Note: this is single shaft operation with no massive

corporate overheads

43

in addition to which…..

Project is relatively opex / capex insensitive Power contingency in place Feasibility undertaken by highly experienced team

with real costing based on same sized shaft Funding options still being considered, interim

arrangements concluded

44

The project is right on track……

Simple easy mine design, done many times before, and we have the Impala 20 # team

Highly experienced project management team with a delivery track record focused on building the mine

REAL TEAM ,REAL MINE, REAL VALUE 45
