WESIZWE PLATINUM – A BRICS STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP IN ACTION Wesizwe Platinum and its Bakubung Platinum Mine project in South Africa is a tangible example of a BRICS strategic partnership between member countries in action Wesizwe Platinum is developing its 350 koz pa PGM mine on the western limb of the Bushveld complex. The mine is expected to ramp up production from The Project capital cost in nominal terms is just over ZAR12Bn. Wesizwe Platinum’s strategic investor, a consortium made up of Jinchuan and China Africa Development Fund (CADFund), holds a 45% interest in the Company. Wesizwe’s management team is made up of both Chinese mining industry expertise and experienced South African mining industry and corporate executives.

INTRODUCING THE PROJECT Wesizwe Platinum is developing its 100% owned Bakubung Platinum Mine located on the western bushveld. The mine will produce up to 350koz per annum over a 35 year life of mine, with production ramp-up from Chinese strategic equity partner and funder ensures that the project is funded Wesizwe also owns a 26% stake in the PTM-managed Maseve Project, which is adjacent to the Bakubung Platinum Mine

A CLEAN OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE

OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY To ensure that the Bakubung Platinum Mine is delivered within budget and on schedule To deliver synergies with industry players close to the project To deliver synergies with our strategic partner - Jinchuan To achieve 26% BEE ownership from the current 16% HDSA Holding. Realise certain growth opportunities in Platinum (South Africa) and Base Metals (Africa).

A PERFECTLY LOCATED QUALITY RESOURCE

……. ONE OF THE BEST TO-BE-MINED PGM ORE BODIES IN SOUTH AFRICA An impressive mining platform, flat lying and structurally stable 9

KEY ASSET DIFFERENTIATORS Shallow in relation to other producers: mean mining depth of 850mbc High mining extraction – 74% Thick reef widths - 1.4m to 1.7m - higher operating efficiency and yields Favourable prill split – good Pt yield from Merensky reef, improved basket value Head grades in line with normal averages in the region Sequential mining starts with Merensky mining for first 10 years steady state Flexible mine design based on flat dipping reef with ore handling infrastructure in the footwall of the UG2

PROJECT FUNDING Wesizwe Platinum announced the approval of the China Development Bank US$ 650 million loan facility in January this year As part of the funding, Wesizwe obtained two bridging loan facilities of US$ 100 million each. At the end of June 2013, Wesizwe had R2 billion in cash resources. Finalization of the US$ 650 million project facility is nearing completion.

2013 PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS 2013 saw the successful conversion from pre-sink to slow sink on the 8.5m diameter main shaft The main shaft headgear depth at 256m at October month end Ventilation shaft headgear has been commissioned Ventilation shaft in main sink and at a depth of 397m as of October month end.

PROJECT EXPENDITURE AND DELIVERY ON MILESTONES Total capital expenditure to end June 2013 was R1.11 billion with commitments remaining as at the end of the period of R1.3 billion. The project is 14% complete, relative to a planned completion of 15%. The slight shortfall in percentage completion relates to the shaft sinking rate which has experienced a slight scheduling delay. This has been addressed and positive results are now being seen. The permanent bulk power supply of 20MVa has been commissioned which has substantially de-risked the mine from a power perspective during its development phase till early 2016 Phase 2 power supply project (the Ngwedi sub station) is under construction and will deliver the balance of the required 60MVa for full production by mid Bulk Water Supply Agreement signed off with Magalies Water. The Agreement will see the implementation of a number of projects by Magalies Water and Wesizwe to upgrade the existing infrastructure.

PROJECT OPTIMISATION AND SYNERGY STRATEGIES Wesizwe Platinum has implemented a very significant mine optimisation study. The optimisation process is designed to maximise mine efficiency and minimise project capital expenditure and, in time, operating costs. The optimisation study will be completed at the end of 2013 in time to implement key changes to the shaft infrastructure and mine capital footprint design The optimisation study will also focus on realising an earlier commissioning ramp-up profile for the project which may have a material impact on the value of the overall project

HUMAN RESOURCES 2013 saw the appointment of a new Mine General Manager and a new Resident Engineer at the Bakubung Platinum Mine At full production, the mine will employ 3200 employees directly Current permanent employees at the mine site is 54, with 903 contract workers Large contractors are fully committed to and supportive of Wesizwe’s goals of driving local employment and skills development initiatives Plans to increase the core Wesizwe team in support of the mine development programme are advanced Wesizwe’s Housing project pre-feasibility study concluded and will go into bankable feasibility on the finalization of land related agreements.

STAKEHOLDER RELATIONS Maintaining good stakeholder relations with all important identified stakeholder groups that are critical to the success of Wesizwe, is a strategic priority Wesizwe has implemented a fully integrated stakeholder relations and corporate communications strategy which is achieving tangible results The company is progressing transaction options to recover its historically disadvantaged South Africans (HDSA) equity ownership objective for its current level of around 16% HDSA ownership
