OVERVIEW FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2019
The operational recovery from the severe lockdown in SA in response to the COVID-19 pandemic has progressed well. The
proactive and decisive response by the Group to address the COVID-19 challenges, while ensuring the integrity of the
operating environment and the safety of all our employees has been pleasing. Comprehensive health and safety protocols,
which were developed and implemented early on, have proven to be effective. In the interests of employee safety and
operational continuity a more measured and phased production build up was deemed appropriate, particularly as
employees from neighbouring countries and other provinces in South Africa were recalled.
The build-up to normalised production levels at the SA operations has progressed better than planned and the manner in
which employees have been reintegrated into the operations without a notable increase in infection rates or operational
disruptions, validates the more gradual recall and production build-up strategy.
By the end of Q3 2020, the SA gold operations had recalled approximately 92% of the workforce and achieved a production
run rate of approximately 99% of planned levels, with the SA PGM operation having recalled approximately 88% of the
workforce with a production run rate of 93% of planned levels achieved. By mid-October 2020, both the SA gold and PGM
operations were operating at close to planned production rates with the employee complement close to pre-COVID-19 levels.
While the US PGM operations have continued to operate throughout the year, COVID-19 protocols, particularly compliance
with social distancing requirements, has had an ongoing negative impact on productivity. The social distancing impact is
most prevalent on transport to and from work, with employees living throughout the state of Montana and travelling longer
distances to work than in SA. Restricted access to the operations has also affected shift arrangements and blasting schedules,
resulting in a negative 8% impact on productivity.
COVID-19 infection rates at the SA operations, have declined significantly after peaking in July 2020 and while there has been
a slight increase in infections in recent weeks, we do not anticipate a significant rise in cases or significant risk of the
operations being closed. There has been a sharp spike in infections in the US and the state of Montana, and there has been a
corresponding increase in positive cases at the US PGM operations. Again, we believe that our protocols are effective to
manage the situation and ensure the safety of employees as well as the integrity of the operations insofar as practicable.
Elevated precious metal prices for Q3 2020, together with the 15% depreciation of the rand against the dollar during 2020
year-to-date, has ensured record prices for the basket of metals produced in SA and close to record levels in the US. Despite
still being impacted by COVID-19 constraints during Q3 2020, the consistent operational performance coupled with high
commodity prices, underpinned an exceptional financial result for the Group for Q3 2020.
Group adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2020 increased by 182% (or R10,056 million/US$545 million) to R15,592 million (US$922 million),
compared with the same period in 2019. This represents another record quarterly financial result, surpassing the full-year Group
adjusted EBITDA of R14,956 million (US$1,034 million) for 2019. This outstanding result reflects the significant value accretive
PGM acquisition strategy embarked on from 2016.
Strong cash flow generation drove a further reduction in net debt during the period, despite the payment of the R1.4 billion
H1 2020 dividend. Net debt: adjusted EBITDA (ND: adjusted EBITDA) at the end of Q3 2020, decreased by 40% to 0.33x from
0.55x at the end of June 2020. Subsequent to quarter end, the soft call option on the Convertible Bond (CB) was exercised
and the CB was fully redeemed by 19 October 2020. On a proforma basis there is thus a further reduction in net debt of
R11,164 million (US$666 million), resulting in ND: adjusted EBITDA declining on a proforma basis to 0.05x* at 30 September 2020.
Available funding increased by 19% from R23,799 million (US$1,372 million) at 30 June 2020 to R28,202 million (US$1,683 million)
at 30 September 2020, comprising cash on hand of R15,151 million (US$904 million) (30 June 2020: R12,041 million (US$694
million)), committed undrawn facilities of R11,869 million (US$708 million) (30 June 2020: R9,000 million (US$519 million)), and
available uncommitted overnight facilities of R1,182 million (US$71 million) (30 June 2020: R2,758 million (US$159 million)).
The strategic deleveraging which has been a primary focus since 2017 is now complete. At current commodity prices and
the prevailing exchange rate, and with the SA operations having attained normalised production run rates, the Group is likely
to continue generating significant cash flow. Following the resumption of the dividend in August 2020, the Group is well
positioned to deliver superior total returns to shareholders. We will continue to maintain a disciplined approach to capital
allocation, with the primary focus on securing the future of the company and delivering on our vision of superior value creation
for all our stakeholders by prioritising dividends, share buy backs when appropriate, and smart, value accretive growth.

SAFE PRODUCTION
The safe production performance for Q3 2020 was mixed, with another good quarterly safety performance from the SA PGM
operations, offset by a decline in the safety performance of the SA gold operations.
The SA PGM operations delivered another fatality free quarter (mirroring the zero fatalities for Q2 2020), relative to two fatalities
experienced in Q3 2019. On 13 October 2020, the SA PGM operations achieved a milestone of four million fatality free shifts
with the last fatality recorded at Siphumelele shaft in March 2020.
Regrettably, after over 13 million shifts and almost two years without any fatal incidents, the SA gold operations suffered two
fatalities during Q3 2020. On 8 August 2020, Mr Mfuneka Manikela, a contractor employee at Kloof Thuthukani shaft, was
struck by ore flowing down the raise towards the tip while he was travelling in a centre gully to collect equipment. Mr Manikela
was 36 years old and is survived by his wife. On 13 August 2020 Mr Bonginkosi Hlophe, a learner miner at Driefontein Hlanganani
shaft, was struck by a gravity fall of ground while travelling above the strike gully. Mr Hlope was 38 years old and is survived
by his fiancee and three dependents. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family, friends and colleagues of Mr Manikela
and Mr Hlophe. Both incidents are being investigated together with the relevant stakeholders and appropriate support has
been provided to both families.
Despite these fatalities we believe that our safety strategy remains appropriate and we will continue to work towards our goal
of zero harm. An improvement in serious injury frequency rate (SIFR), lost day injury frequency rate (LDIFR) and the total injury
frequency rates of 12%, 20% and 23% respectively was achieved for the quarter, compared to the same period in 2019 for
the SA gold operations. The focus on proactively managing leading indicators, in line with our Safe Production Strategy, will
remain key in achieving ongoing continual improvement.
The US PGM reported a total reportable injury frequency rate (TRIFR) of 13 per million hours for Q3 2020, compared to 8.5 per
million hours for Q3 2019. The majority of incidents were due to slips, trips and falls, which primarily resulted in minor lacerations.
OPERATING REVIEW
US PGM operations
Compliance with COVID-19 protocols continued to affect productivity at the US PGM operations. Logistical constraints
(transport of employees) and the need to stagger shift arrangements and blast cycles to accommodate social distancing
has resulted in productivity declines of approximately 8% versus pre-COVID-19 levels. For 2020 this is equivalent to a loss of
approximately 20,000 2Eoz of mined production. Mined 2E PGM production for Q3 2020 of 147,835 2Eoz was in line with the
comparable period in 2019. Production from the Stillwater mine (including Stillwater West and Stillwater East) of 91,940 2Eoz
for Q3 2020, was 1% lower than for the comparable period in 2019. The East Boulder mine (EB) produced 55,895 2Eoz, 3%
higher than for Q3 2019. Mined tonnes milled for Q3 2020 increased to 370,201 tonnes, 7% higher than for Q3 2019. Plant head
grade was 13.6 g/t in Q3 2020, 6% lower than for Q3 2019. Head-grade challenges were largely attributed to lower than
expected availability of higher grade stopes. Remedial action has been taken, and a recovery in grade is anticipated for
Q4 2020. PGM sales for Q3 2020 of 143,716 2Eoz were 3% higher than for Q3 2019, largely due to the timing of production
deliveries in Q3 2020.
All-in sustaining cost (AISC) of US$875/2Eoz for Q3 2020 was 11% higher than for Q3 2019, due to lower than planned 2E PGM
production from the Stillwater mine complex and higher royalties and insurance. The average 2E PGM basket price for Q3
2020, was approximately 96% higher than the average basket price used for planning, with a consequential increase in
royalties and insurance accounting for approximately US$51/2Eoz (6%) of the increase in AISC year-on-year.
The recycling operation fed an average of 25tpd of spent catalyst for Q3 2020. Recycling inventory normalised at
approximately 200 tonnes following the accelerated processing of inventory in Q2 2020, although has increased subsequent
to quarter end due to planned maintenance at the smelter early in Q4 2020. Ongoing COVID-19 related logistical and liquidity
constraints constraining the global recycling industry, continued to affect recycle receipts during Q3 2020 although recycle
receipts have begun normalising and are trending back to pre-COVID-19 levels. It should be noted that recycle receipts are
region specific, with COVID-19 continuing to constrain global supply from some regions.
The 2E PGM basket price for Q3 2020 averaged US$1,898/2Eoz, 37% higher than for Q3 2019, driving the mined adjusted EBITDA
margin to 62% from 57% in Q3 2019. Adjusted EBITDA for the US PGM operations increased by 55% year-on-year to US$191
million (R3,227 million), with the recycling operation contributing US$10 million (R170 million). After accounting for recycling,
the blended adjusted EBITDA margin for the US PGM operations increased from 27% in Q3 2019 to 34% in Q3 2020.
Total capital expenditure for Q3 2020 amounted to US$69 million and was mainly spent on the Blitz and Fill the mill (FTM) growth
projects (54% or US$37 million).
The Blitz project has been reviewed following the suspension of growth capital activities due to COVID-19 during Q1 and Q2 2020,
which, as signalled in our H1 2020 results, further delayed the project schedule. The project review has indicated a delay of up
to two years, with production from Blitz now expected to reach a steady state run rate of approximately 300,000 2Eoz per annum by 2024.
Further detail on the project will be provided in Q1 2021, following the completion of the annual production planning cycle.
The FTM project is on schedule and on budget, building up to an annualised production run rate of approximately 40,000 2Eoz per annum
from December 2020. This project yields an estimated net present value of over US$460m at spot 2E PGM prices.
SA PGM operations
Despite ongoing COVID-19 related constraints at the SA PGM operations during Q3 2020, the ongoing production build-up
was well managed, with costs kept under control. Primarily due to the progressive production build up during the quarter,
4E PGM production of 427,715 4Eoz for Q3 2020 was 18% lower than for the comparable period in 2019.
Costs were well managed with AISC increasing by only 5% year-on-year to R16,985/4Eoz (US$1,004/4Eoz), despite lower
production and above inflation electricity tariffs and wage adjustments. Higher state royalty tax arising from the increase in
revenue and profitability were partly offset by financial benefits accruing to the Marikana smelting and refining operations
from the processing of Purchase of Concentrate (PoC) from Rustenburg, Kroondal and Platinum Mile following the declaration
of Force Majeure (FM) by Anglo American Platinum (Anglo Platinum) during March 2020 after breakdowns at its converter
plants (ACP).
The average 4E PGM basket price of R36,840/4Eoz (US$2,179/4Eoz) for Q3 2020 was 81% higher than for Q3 2019. This was
primarily driven by significant price gains in rhodium (166%) and palladium (41%) period-on-period and a 15% weaker rand
exchange rate. Rhodium and palladium respectively contributed approximately 42% and 30% of the spot 4E PGM basket
revenue for Q3 2020, despite comprising just 8% and 30% of the 4E prill split. The record average 4E basket price combined
with the steady increase in production post the COVID-19 lockdown, enabled a 217% increase in adjusted EBITDA for the SA
PGM operations to R9,287 million (US$549 million) for Q3 2020, with the adjusted EBITDA margin more than doubling from 25%
for Q3 2019 to 58% for Q3 2020.
Notably, the R9,287 million adjusted EBITDA generated during this quarter accounts for 72% of the R12.8 billion aggregated
initial acquisition cost of Kroondal, Rustenburg and Marikana. Considering the higher prevailing average PGM basket price
in Q4 2020 to date, combined with the return to normalised production rates during October, the outlook for Q4 2020 is
extremely positive.
PGM production of 154,904 4Eoz from the Rustenburg operation was 14% lower than for Q3 2019. Underground production
was 17% lower due to the ongoing build-up of production post the COVID-19 lockdown. This was partly offset by an 18%
increase in production from the surface operations, which were less affected by COVID-19 related restrictions. AISC for the
Rustenburg operation increased by 19% year-on-year to R18,864/4Eoz (US$1,116/4Eoz), primarily due to lower production,
compounded by above inflation increases in wages and electricity tariffs, with higher royalty tax adding approximately
R1,624/4Eoz (US$96/4Eoz). At normalised production levels and adjusting for the higher royalty tax, AISC would have been
R14,813/4Eoz (US$876/4Eoz), well within SA inflation. The combined AISC margin for the Rustenburg operation increased from
31% for Q3 2019 to 59% for Q3 2020.
The Kroondal operation delivered another solid operational performance despite COVID-19 constraints. Despite being a
primarily mechanised operation, a relatively higher proportion of Kroondal's labour complement comes from neighbouring
countries and other SA provinces which, due to COVID-19 travel restrictions on travel, resulted in a more delayed recall of
employees, compounded by the need to quarantine or isolate returning employees. As a result, 4E PGM production of
53,299oz was 21% lower for Q3 2020 than for Q3 2019. Absolute costs were well managed, with above inflationary electricity
tariff and wage increases being absorbed, but due to the lower production volumes, AISC increased by 18% to R12,805/4Eoz
(US$757/4Eoz) year-on-year, considerably less than the 93% year-on-year increase in the average PGM basket price.
PGM production from the Marikana operation for Q3 2020 of 177,717 4Eoz was 26% lower than for Q3 2019. The production
decline was again primarily due to the gradual production build, with the buildup at the conventional Marikana shafts slower
than at the more mechanised Rustenburg operation. The Marikana operation also employs a higher proportion of foreign
nationals and employees from other provinces than the Rustenburg operations, which further delayed the production build
up. Restructuring of the Marikana operations and closure of three Generation 1 shafts, which produced 10,537 4Eoz for
Q3 2019, also contributed to the decline in production year-on-year. AISC of R16,779/4Eoz (US$992/4Eoz) was 7% lower than
R17,955/4Eoz (US$1,224/4Eoz) for Q3 2019 despite significantly lower production. This partly reflects the ongoing realisation of
cost synergies from the integration of the Marikana operation into the SA PGM operations, as well as one-off benefits from
processing of PoC from Rustenburg, Kroondal and Platinum Mile (due to the Anglo Platinum ACP FM) at the Marikana smelting
and refining operations.
Revenue from chrome sales amounted to R309 million for Q3 2020, 6% lower than revenue of R330 million for Q3 2019 due to
lower volumes produced and lower prices year-on-year. Chrome sales of 429kt for Q3 2020, compared with 591kt for Q3 2019
with the average chrome price for Q3 2020 of US$138/t, 6% lower than the Q3 2019 average price of US$147/tonne.
Mimosa was largely unaffected by COVID-19 and continued to perform steadily. Attributable 4E PGM production of
31,572 4Eoz was 23% higher than for Q3 2019.
SA gold operations
The post lockdown production build up at the SA Gold operations progressed smoothly and ahead of plan. Gold production
of 8,987kg (288,938oz) for Q3 2020 was flat year-on-year, with production building up during both Q3 2020 and Q3 2019
following significant operational disruptions in prior periods. During H1 2020 operations were suspended due to COVID-19 and
during H1 2019, the production was significantly affected by the five-month AMCU strike. AISC of R715,345/kg (US$1,316/oz)
remained elevated due to lower production, above inflation electricity tariff and wage increases.
Gold production (excluding DRDGOLD) of 7,473kg (240,262oz) was similar to the comparable period in 2019, with AISC of
R746,127/kg (US$1,372/oz), 9% higher than for Q3 2019.
The average gold price for Q3 2020 of US$1,845/oz was 27% higher than for the comparable period in 2019, which together
with the 15% depreciation of the average rand: dollar exchange rate year-on-year boosted the average rand gold price
received for Q3 2020 by 47% to a record level of R1,002,945/kg. The inherent leverage of the SA gold operations to the rand
gold price was clearly evident with the adjusted EBITDA margin for the SA Gold operations expanding to 37% compared with
14% for Q3 2019 and adjusted EBITDA increasing 282% to R3,218 million (US$190 million) for Q3 2020.
Underground production from the Driefontein operation of 2,424kg (77,933oz) increased by 17% due to a 14% increase in the
average yield to 6.26g/t compared with 5.51g/t for the comparable period in 2019. The higher average yield during the
period was a planned consequence of the phased recall of employees since May 2020, with returning crews initially directed
to high grade areas, in order to build production and revenue as fast as possible. Underground yields have naturally
normalised as the employee complement has increased. AISC declined by 5% to R741,525/kg (US$1,364/oz).
Underground production from the Kloof operation increased by 11% to 2,881kg (92,626oz) compared to Q3 2019, due to a
14% increase in the underground yield for the same reason outlined above. The Kloof surface operation was less impacted
by COVID-19 constraints and spare capacity at the underground plants was utilised to accelerate surface throughput in
order to offset lower throughput from underground. Surface production for Q3 2020 increased by 23% compared with Q3
2019, to 457kg (14,693oz). Considering the additional cost associated with COVID-19, costs were well controlled, with AISC for
Q3 2020 of R718,630/kg (US$1,322/oz) being similar to Q3 2019. As mentioned above total AISC for Kloof is14% higher than the
total AISC for the comparative period as a result of higher sales in the current quarter compared to the same period in 2019
(higher GIP and gold on hand in Q3 2019 compared to Q3 2020).
In contrast to the Driefontein and Kloof operations, underground gold production from the Beatrix operation of 1,319kg
(42,407oz) declined by 36% compared with Q3 2019. Beatrix employs a higher proportion of foreign nationals than Kloof and
Driefontein, with lower crew availability delaying the production build up. Gold production from surface sources increased
by 56% to 64kg (2,058oz) due to utilisation of spare plant capacity. AISC for Q3 2020 of R847,561/kg (US$1,559/oz) was 53%
higher than for the comparable period in 2019 due to the high fixed cost nature of the operations offset by the lower wage
costs of employees not recalled, with lower production in the period.
OUTLOOK
Mined 2E PGM production from the US PGM operations for 2020 is forecast at between 620,000 2Eoz and 650,000 2Eoz,
although due to ongoing COVID-19 constraints, is likely to be at the lower end of guidance. AISC is forecast to be between
US$830/2Eoz and US$860/2Eoz, after accounting for the price driven royalties and taxes detailed previously. Capital
expenditure is forecast to be between US$250 million to US$270 million, with the majority of this spend project in nature.
4E PGM production for 2020 from the SA PGM operations is forecast at between 1.35 million 4Eoz and 1.45 million 4Eoz with
AISC between R19,700/4Eoz and R21,000/4Eoz (US$1,159/4Eoz and US$1,235/4Eoz). Given the smooth recovery in production,
the upper end of production guidance and lower end of AISC guidance are very achievable. Capital expenditure is forecast
at approximately R2,000 million (US$117 million).
Gold production from the managed SA gold operations (excluding DRDGOLD) for 2020 is forecast to be at the upper end of
the production guidance of between 23,500kg and 24,500kg (756,000oz and 812,000oz) and as a result AISC is anticipated
to be at the lower end of the cost guidance of between R805,000/kg and R840,000/kg (US$1,473/oz and US$1491/oz). Capital
expenditure is expected to be marginally lower than the guidance of R2,850 million (US$168 million).
The 2020 dollar guidance is based on an average exchange rate of R17.00/US$.

Average exchange rates for the quarters ended 30 September 2020, 30 June 2020 and 30 September 2019 were R16.91/US$, R17.95/US$ and R14.67/US$,
respectively
Figures may not add as they are rounded independently
(1) The US PGM operations' underground production is converted to metric tonnes and performance is translated into rand. In addition to the US PGM
operations' underground production, the operation treats various recycling material which is excluded from the statistics shown above
(2) During Q2 2020, sales were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, however Mimosa continued production of PGM concentrate that resulted in a build up
of concentrate stockpile. A difference arose whereby the Mimosa 4Eoz sold during Q2 2020 were included as equal to the produced 4Eoz in the Q2 2020
salient feature tables. The effect of this difference resulted in sold 4Eoz for Q2 2020 being reported as 31,576 4Eoz compared to an actual of 12,953 4Eoz.
The AISC and AIC per 4Eoz for Mimosa were reported as R8,741/4Eoz compared to R15,420/4Eoz due to the inventory change not adjusted in these calculations
(3) Production per product - see prill split in the table below
(4) The Group and total SA PGM operations' unit cost benchmarks and capital exclude the financial results of Mimosa, which is equity accounted and excluded from
revenue and cost of sales
(5) The average PGM basket price is the PGM revenue per 4E/2E ounce, prior to a purchase of concentrate adjustment
(6) Operating cost is the average cost of production and operating cost per tonne is calculated by dividing the cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation
and change in inventory in a period by the tonnes milled/treated in the same period, and operating cost per ounce (and kilogram) is calculated by dividing the
cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation and change in inventory in a period by the PGM produced in the same period. The operating cost of Marikana
operation includes the purchase of concentrate from Rustenburg, Kroondal and Platinum Mile
(7) All-in cost is calculated in accordance with the World Gold Council guidance. All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and acquisition
activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one-time severance charges and items needed to normalise earnings. All-in cost is made up of All-in
sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together with corporate and major capital
expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per ounce (and kilogram) and All-in cost per ounce (and kilogram) are calculated by dividing the
All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a period by the total 4E/2E PGM produced in the same period. For a reconciliation of cost of sales
before amortisation and depreciation to All-in costs, see "All-in costs - quarters"
(8) The Marikana PGM production includes the processing of 10,781 4Eoz, 18,949 4Eoz and 12,790 4Eoz third party concentrate purchases for the quarters ended
30 September 2020, 30 June 2020 and 30 September 2019, respectively

Average exchange rates for the quarters ended 30 September 2020, 30 June 2020 and 30 September 2019 were R16.91/US$, R17.95/US$ and R14.67/US$,
respectively
Figures may not add as they are rounded independently
(1) Operating cost is the average cost of production and operating cost per tonne is calculated by dividing the cost of sales, before amortisation
and depreciation and change in inventory in a period by the tonnes milled/treated in the same period, and operating cost per kilogram (and ounce) is
calculated by dividing the cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation and change in inventory in a period by the gold produced in the same period
(2) All-in cost is calculated in accordance with the World Gold Council guidance. All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and
acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one time severance charges and items needed to normalise earnings. All-in cost
is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together with
corporate and major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per kilogram (and ounce) and All-in cost per kilogram (and ounce)
is calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a period by the total gold sold over the same period. For a
reconciliation of cost of sales before amortisation and depreciation to All-in costs, see "All-in costs - quarters"
(3) Corporate project expenditure for the quarters ended 30 September 2020, 30 June 2020 and 30 September 2019 was R8.5 million (US$0.5 million), R0.2 million
(US$0 million) and R26.7 million (US$1.8 million), respectively

Average exchange rates for the quarters ended 30 September 2020, 30 June 2020 and 30 September 2019 were R16.91/US$, R17.95/US$ and R14.67/US$,
respectively
Figures may not add as they are rounded independently
(1) The US PGM operations' underground production is converted to metric tonnes and kilograms, and performance is translated into rand. In
addition to the US PGM operations' underground production, the operation processes various recycling material which is excluded from the
2E PGM production, All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost statistics shown
(2) During Q2 2020, sales were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, however Mimosa continued production of PGM concentrate that resulted in a
build up of concentrate stockpile. A difference arose whereby the Mimosa 4Eoz sold during Q2 2020 were included as equal to the produced
4Eoz in the Q2 2020 salient feature tables. The effect of this difference resulted in sold 4Eoz for Q 2 2020 being reported as 31,576 4Eoz
compared to an actual of 12,953 4Eoz. The AISC and AIC per 4Eoz for Mimosa were reported as R8,741/4Eoz compared to R15,420/4Eoz due to the
inventory change not adjusted in these calculations
(3) Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation includes all mining and processing costs, third party refining costs, corporate general
and administrative costs, and permitting costs. Corporate relates to the elimination of concentrate sales by Rustenburg, Kroondal and Platinum
Mile to Marikana and the associated unrealised profit
(4) Inventory adjustment in Corporate includes the elimination of concentrate sales by Rustenburg, Kroondal and Platinum Mile to Marikana and the
associated unrealised profit
(5) Share-based payments are calculated based on the fair value at initial recognition and do not include the adjustment of the cash-settled
share-based payment obligation to the reporting date fair value
(6) Rehabilitation includes the interest charge related to the environmental rehabilitation obligation and the amortisation of the related capitalised
rehabilitation costs. The interest charge related to the environmental rehabilitation obligation and the amortisation of the capitalised
rehabilitation costs reflect the periodic costs of rehabilitation associated with current PGM production
(7) All-in cost is calculated in accordance with the World Gold Council guidance. All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger and
acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one-time severance charges and items needed to normalise earnings. All-in
cost is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation, together
with corporate and major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per ounce (and kilogram) and All-in cost per ounce
(and kilogram) are calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a period by the total 4E/2E PGM produced in the
same period
(8) The Q3 2020 and Q2 2020 by-product credit for Marikana includes the benefit from the sale of concentrate purchased from Rustenburg, Kroondal and
Platinum Mile of R1,546 million and R128 million, respectively. The cost associated with the purchase and processing of the intercompany concentrate
is included in the Marikana cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation

Average exchange rates for the quarters ended 30 September 2020, 30 June 2020 and 30 September 2019 were R16.91/US$, R17.95/US$ and R14.67/US$,
respectively
Figures may not add as they are rounded independently
(1) Cost of sales, before amortisation and depreciation includes all mining and processing costs, third party refining costs, corporate general
and administrative costs, and permitting costs
(2) Share-based payments are calculated based on the fair value at initial recognition and do not include the adjustment of the cash-settled
share-based payment obligation to the reporting date fair value
(3) Rehabilitation include the interest charge related to the environmental rehabilitation obligation and the amortisation of the related
capitalised rehabilitation costs. The interest charge related to the environmental rehabilitation obligation and the amortisation of the
capitalised rehabilitation costs reflect the periodic costs of rehabilitation associated with current gold production
(4) All-in cost is calculated in accordance with the World Gold Council guidance. All-in cost excludes income tax, costs associated with merger
and acquisition activities, working capital, impairments, financing costs, one time severance charges and items needed to normalise earnings.
All-in cost is made up of All-in sustaining cost, being the cost to sustain current operations, given as a sub-total in the All-in cost calculation,
together with corporate and major capital expenditure associated with growth. All-in sustaining cost per kilogram (and ounce) and All-in cost per
kilogram (and ounce) is calculated by dividing the All-in sustaining cost and All-in cost, respectively, in a period by the total gold sold over
the same period
