Beige Holdings Limited - Change To The Board Of Directors BAUBA PLATINUM LIMITED Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa (Registration number 1986/004649/06) Share code: BAU ISIN: ZAE000145686 ("Bauba" or "the Company")


GRANTING OF GENERAL AUTHORISATION OF WATER USE Introduction

Further to the acquisition of chrome assets and the granting of the mining permit in 2014, the board of
directors of Bauba is pleased to announce that the Department Water and Sanitation has granted Bauba's major subsidiary, Bauba A Hlabirwa Mining Investments Proprietary Limited, a General Authorisation of water use on the Farm Moeijelijk 412KS and accordingly, the last legislative condition to commence full scale mining operations has been fulfilled.

Operational Impact

Initial site establishment has already been conducted and detailed planning of the open cast mining operation was finalised in anticipation of the approval of the General Authorisation. This approval, together with the Small Scale Mining Permit received in November 2014, allows for approximately 240 000 metric tonnes of run of mine chrome ore to be mined at a planned 20 000 metric tonnes per month at full production. It is expected that the first chrome production will occur before the end of this month.
An application for a long-term Mining Right in respect of chrome on the farm Moeijelijk has already been submitted to the Department of Mineral Resources.
Chief Executive Officer of Bauba, Syd Caddy, commented: "I am very pleased to announce the fulfilment of the legislative conditions for the commencement of mining operations as this positions the Company to immediately start in all earnest to pursue its objective of becoming both a cash generating chrome producer and exploration company. This positively distinguishes Bauba from many of its peers in that its current platinum/PGM exploration program will become substantially self-funded, thereby avoiding early dilution of shareholder value."
