Lesego Platinum Project

The Lesego project is located approximately 300 km northeast of Johannesburg in the Limpopo province of South Africa. Access to the project site is via existing highways and mostly tarred roads. Electricity and water for the development and operation is readily accessible.

The Lesego deposit is a shallow, high grade resource of some 50 Million ounces at an average grade of over 5,5 g/t. The orebody and details of the resources are indicated below.

Notes

1 All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate.
2 A geological loss factor of 17% has been applied to the reported tonnage.
3 No cut-off has been applied, as the claculated cut-off grade is below the lowest estimated grade.
4 SRK calculated a basket metal price at ZAR2 262/t for the Merensky, and ZAR2 342/t for the UG2.
5 Troy oz = 31.103486 g.
6 M & I = Measured and Indicated Resources.


The development of this world class asset is currently being investigated in detail, with two options available as depicted below.
