| History of the Moab Khotsong Project |
|
The Moab Project was approved in 1997 to exploit two distinct portions of the Moab Lease area, namely the
Middle Mine (85 Level to 101 Level) and the Lower Mine (101 Level to 118 Level). During 2008, the SV4 section
of Great Noligwa was incorporated into Moab Khotsong and this section is now termed the Top Mine.

| Geology of the Moab Khotsong Project |
|
|
The Mineral Resource at Moab Khotsong is structurally complex and highly faulted, with large fault-loss areas.
Mining is based on a backfill system combined with bracket pillars. The raise lines are spaced 200m apart on
the dip of the reef, with 25m-long panels. Backfill is carried to within four metres of the advancing stope faces
and 75% of the total area extracted is likely to be backfilled.
