• 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
