In accordance with the requirements imposed by the JSE, Sibanye Gold reports its reserves using the terms and definitions ofthe SAMREC Code (2007 edition). There are differences between the SAMREC Code and the Security and ExchangeCommission’s Industry Guide 7. Mineral or ore reserves, as defined under the SAMREC Code, are divided into categories ofproved and probable reserves and are expressed in terms of tonnes to be processed at mill feed head grades, allowing forestimated mining dilution, recovery and other factors.

The lead Competent Person designated in terms of SAMREC, who take responsibility for the consolidation and reporting ofSibanye Gold’s Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves and of the overall regulatory compliance of these figures is Mr.Gerhard Janse van Vuuren, who gave his consent for the disclosure of the 2015 Mineral Resource and Mineral ReserveStatement. Mr Janse van Vuuren [BTech (MRM), GDE (Mining Eng.), MBA and MSCoC] is registered with Plato (PMS No 243) andhas 27 years’ experience relative to the type and style of mineral deposit under consideration. He is the current Vice President:Mine Technical Services and is a full time employee of Sibanye Gold. Mr. van Vuuren consents to the inclusion of all informationin this release relating to mineral resources and mineral reserves in the form in which it appears.

The respective business unit based Mineral Resource Managers, relevant project managers and the respective MineralResource Management discipline heads have been designated as the Competent Persons in terms of SAMREC and takeresponsibility for the reporting of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves for their respective area(s) of responsibility. Additionalinformation regarding these personnel, as well as the teams involved with the compilation of the Mineral Resource and MineralReserve declaration is incorporated in the Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Supplement that was published inconjunction with the 2015 Sibanye Gold Integrated Report.

Sibanye Gold Division 2016 R&R declaration

• Gold Mineral Reserves increased by 9% to 31.0Moz, despite depletion

of 1.6Moz in 2015

• Depth extension projects at Driefontein 5 Shaft, Kloof 4 Shaft and

Beatrix South were included

• Maiden Gold Reserve at Burnstone and gold and uranium reserves

at the Beisa Project were included

• Continued conversion of secondary reefs and white areas at operations (1.4Moz)

– increased expenditure on exploration − R65.1m in 2015 to R77.5m in 2016

• Quality reporting

Gold required/planned (input)

All development is calculated from ratios as per standard layout. Flexibility is added to the minimum amount required

Ledging – calculated from ratio of stoping to ledgingas per standard layout

Tons and square metres are calculated from ore flow parameters (input)

Access to secondary reefs

• Development required to access secondary reef horizon is significantly less than

original development required to access the primary reef

• ORD capex is significantly lower

• As a result, pay limits for the secondary reefs will be lower than average

24Existing infrastructure reduces capital cost

Developed ore reserves: months per mine

Developed ore reserves (DOR) are available for mining in the short term, pending

sequencing and/or equipping of individual panels

Cooke

Addressing operational underperfomance

• Cooke 4 has continued to underperform operationally and losses

have accumulated

• Section 189 notification given on 11 July 2016

• Underperformance largely volume related driven by:

– complex geology and structure

– seismic activity affecting access to high grade panels

– section 54 stoppages

• Closure of Cooke 4* would:

– reduce annual production by between 1.5t to 2t

– reduce AISC costs at the Cooke Operations by R32,000/kg

– reduce Sibanye Gold Divison AISC by R7,800/kg

• Resulting in a more profitable Group

26Sibanye will not subsidise loss-making production

*Using 2015 reported numbers
