FATAL ACCIDENT AT BUFFELSFONTEIN GOLD MINE


Village regrets to announce the death of an employee on Monday morning, 11 February 2013, in a fall of
ground accident at its Buffelsfontein Mine (“Buffels”), Number 6 shaft, near Stilfontein.

The Board and management of Village express their deepest condolences to the family, friends and
colleagues of the deceased.

The Department of Mineral Resources (“DMR”) inspectorate in the North West Province was alerted and an
initial investigation has been conducted. The inspectorate has issued a Section 54 instruction requiring that
all work areas at Buffels be stopped. The management of Buffels is working closely with the DMR to
minimize the impact of the stoppage and also prevent deterioration of working place conditions while a full
investigation continues.
