Safety – “one injury is one too many”

  • Safety the top priority
  • Sishen Mine achieved 3 million LTI free man-hours in May 2007
  • Thabazimbi Mine achieved 2 million LTI free man-hours in June 2007
  • SEP safety performance sustained
  • Regrettably one fatality at Sishen Mine

Project commissioning and ramp-up:

  • Delays in primary and secondary crusher

castings

  • First production expected in August 2007
  • 6 of 8 jig modules in production by end of

2007

  • 1,5 Mt production anticipated for 2007 (9

Mt – 2008)

  • Full capacity expected in the first half
  • f 2009

Budget:

  • Project to be delivered within

R5,1 billion budget despite earlier delays

13 Mtpa expansion, utilising jigging technology to beneficiate medium grade ores previously classified as waste

OUTLOOK

slide-32
SLIDE 32

32

Outlook

  • Profitability remains highly sensitive to the Rand/US Dollar exchange

rate

  • However, we remain positive on iron ore prospects given:

– Continued strong Chinese demand; and – Upward pressure on spot prices due to delayed supply side response and logistical constraints

  • Successful SEP commissioning set to unlock future value and reduce

Sishen Mine unit cost
