TWICKENHAM SAFETY STRATEGY

Focused on critical aspects, including

– Zero tolerance target zero – Work ethic stop and fix

  • Personal contact

– Safety first – Training and coaching – Behaviour based safety – Safety integration – Teamwork and communication

Since November 2001

– 100 701 shifts have been worked – 1 reportable injury – 1 million lost time injury free hours February 2003

PROJECT OVERVIEW

  • Greatly enhanced geological understanding
  • Agreement with government
  • Significant project progress

What has changed in a year?

slide-12
SLIDE 12

World Leader in Platinum Facility Visit March 2003

GEOLOGY

Improved structural knowledge and re-interpretation

  • f all available datasets (3 dimensional structural

model pending completion)

Increased confidence in reef plane contours Refined geological loss estimation and specification

for the most prominent individual features

Better understanding of pothole distributions and

frequency within the shaft and early mining areas

Better outcrop / sub-outcrop and dyke delineation Layout optimisation enhanced

slide-13
SLIDE 13

World Leader in Platinum Facility Visit March 2003

GEOLOGY

600 Boreholes at various depths (Exploration and

Geotechnical) completed to date (approx. 250 since compilation of CBE=21000m)

Improvement in achieved borehole grid spacings

  • 2 year footprint: 140 by 70 metres
  • 5 year footprint: 500 by 500 metres
  • Outside footprint areas: varying due to focus
  • n 2 and 5 year outlines
