The current mine lease area includes one operating mining section (the "Zandfontein Section") and two development sections (the "Crocette Section" and the "Kareespruit Section", respectively).

The resources and reserves updates of the Report apply to each of the Zandfontein Section, the Crocette Section and the Kareespruit Section. In connection with the filings, the Company is pleased to provide a statement of the current resources and reserves supported by the Report.

presents the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource for underground: The individual Pt, Pd, Rh and Au values are based on the prill split derived from the composited individual channel grades of the drillholes. The Mineral Reserve estimation includes only diluted Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources which have been converted to Proved and Probable Mineral Reserves. A portion of Inferred Mineral Resources are included in the LoM plan, as it is required to mine through Inferred portions to access Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources.

These Inferred Mineral Resources have, however, been excluded in the Mineral Reserve estimation and in the economic analysis.
