ARM operational review
The ARM Board of Directors (the Board) announces significantly improved
earnings for the financial year ended 30 June 2011 (F2011). During this
period headline earnings increased 94% to R3 319 million or 1 559 cents per
share. The increase in earnings was driven mainly by improved dollar
commodity prices especially for iron ore. The positive impact of these
increased prices was however reduced by the strengthening of the Rand
versus the US Dollar. The average Rand/US Dollar exchange rate strengthened
by 7.9% from R7.59/US$ in the 2010 financial year (F2010) to R6.99/US$ in
F2011.
The provisional results for the year ended 30 June 2011 have been prepared
in accordance with and containing the information required by International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the disclosures are in accordance
with IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting.
Rounding of figures may result in computational discrepancies on the
tabulations.
Building on the successful completion of the 2 X 2010 growth strategy to
double production between 2005 and 2010, ARM continues with its aggressive
growth strategy with four major growth projects namely the Khumani Iron Ore
Expansion Project, the Nkomati Large Scale Nickel Expansion, the
Goedgevonden (GGV) Coal Mine and the Konkola North Copper Project.
The Khumani Iron Ore Expansion Project which will increase production from
10 to 16 million tonnes per annum, 2 million tonnes of which is for local
sales, continues ahead of schedule and is well within budget.
The GGV Coal Mine achieved full production on a monthly basis in November
2010. Export sales from GGV were however negatively affected by challenges
within Transnet Freight Rail (TFR). Local sales to Eskom were also affected
by logistical constraints both by rail and road.
At the Nkomati Nickel Mine the 250 thousand tonnes per month (ktpm)
Chromotitic Peridotite Mineralised Zone (PCMZ) concentrator plant was
commissioned on time and within budget in October 2010 and continues to
ramp-up. Grade and recovery challenges arising from the complexity and
oxidation of the ore did however negatively affect both concentrator plants
at the mine and resulted in substantially lower than expected production of
nickel, platinum group metals (PGMs) and copper. This is expected to be a
temporary problem which will be resolved as the quality of the ore improves
with depth. The management team has also taken active steps to manage this
challenge by increasing mining flexibility through advanced waste
stripping.
Development of the Konkola North Copper Project is progressing on time and
within budget with approximately 82% of the authorised US$391 million (in
July 2010 terms) already contracted for.

Norilsk Nickel Africa (Pty) Limited ("Norilsk"), Xstrata Coal South Africa
(Pty) Limited ("Xstrata") and Vale S A ("Vale").
Volumes
Sales volumes in iron ore, manganese ore and coal were negatively affected
by logistical constraints whilst sales volumes at Nkomati Mine were
impacted by head grade and plant recovery problems as the Large-Scale
Nkomati Expansion Project ramps-up. Increases in sales volumes were
achieved as follows:
- 133% increase in GGV coal sales to Eskom from 1.17 million tonnes to 2.73
million tonnes
- 124% increase in GGV export coal sales from 1.19 million tonnes to 2.67
million tonnes
- 37% increase in ARM Ferrous chrome ore sales from 272 thousand to 373
thousand tonnes
- 26% increase in chrome alloy sales from 189 thousand to 238 thousand
tonnes
- 22% increase in Nkomati chrome concentrate sales from 313 thousand to 381
thousand tonnes
- 2% increase in iron ore sales volumes from 9.8 million tonnes to 10
million tonnes
Production volumes however were strong with increases as follows:
- 115% increase in GGV saleable coal production from 2.7 million tonnes to
5.9 million tonnes
- 54% increase in manganese ore production from 1.9 million tonnes to 3.0
million tonnes
- 48% increase in chrome ore production from 587 thousand tonnes to 866
thousand tonnes
- 19% increase in chrome alloy production from 200 thousand to 237 thousand
tonnes
- 15% increase in manganese alloy production from 252 thousand to 291
thousand tonnes
- 4% increase in nickel tonnes produced from 9 666 tonnes to 10 100 tonnes
The increase in production without the commensurate increase in sales
resulted in increased stock levels for coal, manganese ore, chrome ore and
nickel at the financial year end positioning these operations well to
deliver into the market in the coming financial year.
Solid cost control
ARM continues to pursue its strategic objective to have all operations
positioned below the 50th percentile of the respective commodities` global
unit cost curves by the year 2012 (2014 and 2015 targeted for the Nkomati
Nickel Mine and the Konkola North Copper Mine respectively). In F2011 ARM
achieved unit cost reductions at its manganese ore and chrome alloy
operations. Single digit unit cost increases were achieved at the Modikwa
Platinum Mine on a Rand per tonne milled and at Two Rivers Platinum Mine on
a Rand per PGM ounce basis. As at 30 June 2011 ARM is well on track to meet
its cost positioning target for all its operations with the exception of
the chrome alloy operations. As such ARM is in the process of reducing its
chrome alloy production and has successfully completed the conversion of
one chrome alloy furnace at Machadodorp Works into a ferromanganese furnace
and plans to convert two additional furnaces within the next 15 months.
This conversion strategy will ensure improved cost positioning for the
Machadodorp Works.
Changes to ARM Exploration Division
ARM is conscious of the need to ensure continued growth beyond the ore
bodies that currently comprise its portfolio and as such has implemented
changes to the corporate structure to further strengthen the ARM
Exploration Division. Effective from 1 July 2011, the copper exploration
assets that previously formed part of ARM Exploration, including a 30%
shareholding in the Kalumines Copper Project and a 50% shareholding in the
Lusaka & Kabwe Project, will be moved into the ARM Copper Division. This
change will allow the ARM Exploration Division to sharpen its focus on
identifying and assessing quality business opportunities in Sub-Saharan
Africa. A highly skilled and experienced exploration team has been
established and will be under the leadership of Mr Jan Steenkamp (who is
also currently the Chief Executive of ARM Ferrous).
Work in ARM Exploration is already under way and in July 2011 ARM signed an
agreement with Rovuma Resources, a Mozambican exploration company, to
explore for manganese ore, nickel, PGMs and base metals in Mozambique. In
terms of the agreement ARM will fund ongoing exploration at an estimated
cost of US$7 million per annum and will have exclusive rights to exercise
options to purchase prospecting/ mining rights to the resources.
CEO succession
After a comprehensive search process ARM announced on 23 June 2011 the
appointment of Mr Michael (Mike) Schmidt, a senior executive in the ARM
Platinum Division, as the CEO designate from 1 September 2011. To ensure an
efficient transition period Mr Mike Schmidt will work with the incumbent
CEO, Mr Andre Wilkens, for a period of six months and then take over from 1
March 2012.
Changes to resources and reserves
Please note the following material changes to the mineral resources and
reserves relative to the resources and reserves disclosed in the Integrated
Annual Report in 2010 as follows:
- Two Rivers Merensky reef Indicated Resource tonnage increased by 105% due
to the re-evaluation of the full Merensky reef. Previously only a top cut
of 120 centimetres had been reported.
- An increase of 79% in Measured and Indicated Resource tonnage for Gloria
Mine (Black Rock Mine Operations) lower seam due to in-fill drilling which
increased the resource confidence and resulted in the movement of resources
from the Inferred category.
At all other operations there has been no material change to the ARM
mineral resources and reserves as disclosed in the Integrated Annual Report
for the financial year ended 30 June 2010, other than depletion due to
continued mining activities at the operations.
Financial commentary
Headline earnings for the year to 30 June 2011 at R3 319 million were 94%
or R1 605 million higher than the prior year headline earnings (F2010: R1
714 million).
Sales for the year increased by 35% to R14.9 billion (F2010: R11.0
billion). The average gross profit margin of 40% (F2010: 32%) is
substantially higher than the previous year largely due to increased US
Dollar commodity prices for most commodities.
The F2011 average Rand/US Dollar of R6.99/US$ is 7.9% lower than the
average of R7.59/US$ for F2010. For reporting purposes the closing exchange
rate was R6.76/US$ (F2010: R7.67/US$).
ARM`s earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA)
excluding exceptional items and income from associates were R6.4 billion,
which represents an increase of 65% or R2.5 billion over F2010.
The detailed segmental contribution analysis is provided in note 2 to the
financial statements.
- The ARM Ferrous contribution to ARM`s headline earnings amounted to R2
897 million (F2010: R1 364 million). This is an increase of 112% compared
to the F2010 result.
- The ARM Platinum segment contribution, which includes the results of
Nkomati, was R460 million which is 12% lower than the F2010 result of R521
million largely due to a decline in the contribution from Nkomati Nickel
Mine.
- The ARM Coal segment result was a loss of R103 million (F2010: R17
million loss) as a result of increased amortisation and interest charges.
- ARM Exploration costs increased relative to the previous year at R173
million (F2010: R143 million cost). All costs on the Konkola North Copper
Project including exploration costs on Area "A" are being capitalised.
- The Corporate, other companies and consolidation segment shows a positive
contribution of R206 million for the year as compared to a R43 million loss
for F2010. This increase is largely a result of consolidation accounting
adjustments to reverse self-insurance premiums expensed by individual
operations.
- Included in the Gold segment is a dividend of R32 million received in
October 2010 from ARM`s investment in Harmony relating to their F2010
results.
ARM`s basic earnings for F2011 approximate the reported headline earnings
as exceptional items amounted to an R8 million loss for the year (F2010:
R98 million gain).
The net cash position at 30 June 2011 amounts to R599 million and is an
improvement of R906 million relative to the net debt position of R307
million at 30 June 2010.
- Cash generated from operations increased by R2 468 million from R3 430
million to R5 898 million after working capital requirements of R640
million resulting from the increased activity levels at operations.
- Capital expenditure amounted to R3 404 million for the year (F2010: R2
738 million) and was mainly expended on the growth projects of Khumani,
Nkomati and Konkola North.
- Net cash at 30 June 2011 excluding partner loans (Impala Platinum: R73
million, Anglo Platinum: R114 million and Xstrata: R1.8 billion) amounted
to R2.6 billion as compared to R1.8 billion at 30 June 2010.
The consolidated ARM total assets of R32.3 billion (F2010: R28.2 billion)
include the mark-to-market valuation of ARM`s investment in Harmony of R5.7
billion at a share price of R89.95 per share (F2010: R81.40 per share).
The effective tax rate for the year including Secondary Tax on Companies
remained fairly constant at 32.3% for the year (F2010: 33.8%). The expense
for mineral royalty tax is included in Other Expenses and amounts to R162
million for the year (F2010: R19 million - representing four months).
State`s share of profits for manganese ore sales amounts to R93 million for
the year (F2010: R80 million) and is included in the taxation charge.
Since the year-end the portion of the insurance claim relating to the
furnace explosion at the Cato Ridge Works, claimable against the local
reinsurers, was settled on 26 August 2011. The portion attributable to ARM
will be approximately R60 million after tax. The results to 30 June 2011
have not been adjusted as the impact is not considered material.
Safety
ARM accomplished a notable improvement in its safety performance during the
financial year. The number of lost-time injuries (LTIs) was reduced from
165 in F2010 to 109 in F2011. The lost-time injury frequency rate (LTIFR)
calculated on 200 000 man hours worked was 0.43 compared with 0.77 in the
previous financial year.
Regrettably, a fatality occurred at Machadodorp Works during the year. On 2
February 2011 Mr. Solomon Vusi Sindane, a trainee crane operator was
fatally injured at furnace No. 2. ARM together with its Board of Directors
would like to extend our sincerest condolences to Mr. Sindane`s family,
friends and colleagues for their loss.
Achievements
- Modikwa Platinum Mine achieved 8 000 000 fatality-free shifts on 21 June
2011, and has been awarded the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) Safety
Achievement Flag for Platinum Mines, which will be proudly displayed at
Modikwa throughout 2011. According to the Modikwa team, this huge safety
success is attributable to the diligent adherence to standards and the
practising of one of Modikwa`s core values "of caring for each other".
- Beeshoek Iron Ore Mine recorded 8 000 fatality-free production shifts in
the DMR (Northern Cape) safety competition. During the third quarter,
Beeshoek also achieved 12 months without a lost-time injury.
- On 11 November 2010, Two Rivers Platinum Mine completed 2 000 000
fatality-free shifts.
- Khumani Iron Ore Mine achieved its first 1 000 000 fatality-free shifts
in November 2010 and was awarded the St Barbara floating trophy.
- Black Rock Manganese Mine achieved 1 000 000 fatality-free shifts during
the fourth quarter.
Safety figures and statistics in this report are presented on a 100% basis
and exclude the ARM Coal operations.
ARM Ferrous
For the financial year ended June 2011, Assmang Limited (Assmang) achieved
a 112% increase in headline earnings to R5.8 billion (F2010: R2.7 billion).
Dollar commodity prices increased across all Assmang`s ferrous metals with
iron ore prices increasing by 130% and chrome ore prices by 56%. Manganese
ore prices increased 23% whilst the prices of manganese and chrome alloys
were 24% and 20% higher respectively. The positive impact of the increased
commodity prices was however subdued by a stronger Rand versus the US
Dollar.
Iron ore sales volumes increased by 2% to 10 million tonnes, while
manganese ore sales (excluding intragroup sales) decreased by 7% to 3
million tonnes. Chrome ore sales excluding intragroup sales increased by
37% to 373 thousand tonnes. Manganese alloys` sales volumes decreased by 8%
to 218 thousand tonnes, whilst sales of chrome alloys increased by 26% to
238 thousand tonnes.
Accelerated ramp-up of the Khumani Iron Ore Mine Expansion Project to 16
million tonnes per annum (mtpa) coupled with production losses due to high
summer rainfall resulted in a 21.6% increase in iron ore production unit
costs. On-mine production unit costs at the manganese ore operation
decreased by 2.5% and at the chrome ore operations by 4.6% as a result of
increased production. Above inflation unit cost increases at the manganese
alloys operations of 12.9% were due to price increases in electricity and
reductants, as well as lower production due to the rebuild of furnaces 1
and 2. Increased production resulted in a 1.4% reduction in chrome alloy
unit costs.
Total capital expenditure was R4.1 billion (F2010: R3.3 billion). The main
expenditure items include R2.8 billion on infrastructure development at the
Khumani Iron Ore Expansion Project and R313 million for rebuilding furnaces
at Cato Ridge and Machadodorp Works. The remaining capital was spent on IT
related projects, vehicles and other equipment replacements.

Khumani Iron Ore Mine Expansion Project
The 16 mtpa Khumani Iron Ore Expansion Project is progressing well within
budget and is currently nine months ahead of schedule. R5 billion of the
total project cost of R6.7 billion was spent as at 30 June 2011.
Conversion of chrome furnaces to manganese furnaces
The No. 5 Furnace at Machadodorp Works was successfully converted from a
ferrochrome to a high carbon ferromanganese furnace at the beginning of the
financial year. Production of ferromanganese from this furnace exceeded
production and efficiency targets at reduced costs.
After the successful conversion of the No. 5 Furnace, a decision was made
to convert further furnaces and as such Assmang announced on 30 June 2011 a
plan to convert No. 2 and 3 furnaces to produce high carbon ferromanganese.
There are a number of engineering modifications required and certain
logistical issues that need to be addressed prior to the conversion being
implemented. This conversion is anticipated to commence during the first
quarter of the 2012 calendar year, and ferromanganese production to
commence from the third quarter of 2012.
This conversion will increase Assmang`s high carbon ferromanganese
production by approximately 100 000 tonnes per annum, bringing its total
capacity to some 375 000 tonnes per year. Key ferrochrome customers will
continue to be supplied from the No. 1 Furnace at Machadodorp Works.
Logistics
Assmang`s iron ore export rail capacity throughput was negatively affected
by abnormal rainfall in the Northern Cape. Assmang and Transnet are in
continued negotiations with respect to capacity allocations and future
export growth.
The iron and manganese ore industries, together with Transnet, have
embarked on a joint feasibility project to expand the current Saldanha
Export Channel to beyond 60 mtpa. Completion of this feasibility study is
expected at the end of the 2011 calendar year.
Assmang and Transnet have an agreement, expiring on 31 March 2013, to
export manganese ore through Port Elizabeth. Manganese ore stockpile and
export capacity has also been secured at the Durban and Richards Bay ports
until June 2014.
Assmang is endeavouring to reduce the current amount of road transport
utilised for both raw materials and final product. This is dependent on
operational service levels achieved by Transnet and future rail and port
capacity.
Projects
A feasibility study to increase the manganese ore capacity from 3 mtpa to 6
mtpa is in progress. Two new shafts and a new beneficiation plant for the
Gloria Mine, as well as new load-out infrastructure will be required to
increase production to 6 mtpa.
The feasibility study to establish a new 4 mtpa operation at Beeshoek Mine
has been completed. First production is planned to commence during the
latter part of 2013 from a new established mining area. Initial development
will include new housing accommodation, upgraded infrastructure and new
load-out facilities.
The ARM Ferrous operations, held through its 50% investment in Assmang,
consist of three divisions: iron ore, manganese and chrome. Assore Limited,
ARM`s partner in Assmang, owns the remaining 50%.
ARM Platinum
ARM Platinum`s attributable headline earnings decreased by R61 million
(12%) to R460 million. PGM production (on 100% basis and including Nkomati)
reduced to 680 108 ounces (F2010: 688 957 ounces) while total nickel
produced increased 4% to 10 100 tonnes (F2010: 9 666 tonnes). The head
grade and plant recoveries at Nkomati were substantially lower than
planned. With respective unit costs of R4 499/PGM oz and R4 979/PGM oz, Two
Rivers and Modikwa continue to be positioned below the 50th percentile of
the global PGM cost curve.
Notwithstanding a 7.9% strengthening in the Rand against the US Dollar, the
basket prices for Modikwa and Two Rivers increased by 17% and 12% to R263
530/kg and R277 279/kg respectively. Realising the debtors at 30 June 2010
resulted in a negative mark-to-market adjustment of R23 million (F2010:
positive R50 million).

Modikwa
Modikwa`s tonnes milled and head grade remained constant. 281 000 tonnes of
open pit material was treated during the period. As the open pit material
is oxidised, plant recoveries on this material were lower at 45%, resulting
in PGM ounces decreasing to 319 336 ounces (F2010: 339 623 ounces). The
mine also experienced numerous delays due to Section 54 stoppages. Unit
costs increased 8% to R692 per tonne milled (F2010: R639 per tonne milled)
and as a result of the open pit material, Rand unit cost per 6E PGM ounce
increased 17% to R4 979 per ounce (F2010: R4 269 per ounce).
On 21 June 2011 Modikwa Platinum Mine set a new standard in the industry by
achieving 8 million fatality-free shifts.

Two Rivers
Tonnes milled and head grade at Two Rivers remained constant, but an
increase in recoveries resulted in a 4% improvement in yield to 307 162 PGM
ounces (F2010: 296 760 ounces). At year end, the surface stockpile was 85
246 tonnes. Unit costs increased by 8% to R4 499 per 6E PGM ounce (F2010:
R4 174 per 6E PGM ounce). Costs associated with trial mining on the
Merensky Reef, a brownfields project, have been expensed and therefore
contribute to increasing unit costs.
Two Rivers surpassed 48 months fatality free during July 2011.
The earnings of Two Rivers were negatively affected by interest charged on
the shareholder`s loans from ARM and Implats. Interest was charged at a
rate of 6.5% per annum as at 30 June 2011 (F2010: 8%).

Nkomati
Availability and utilisation of the primary crusher improved during the
last six months as a result of improved maintenance and operating
practices. Ore fragmentation in the crusher feed improved significantly,
resulting in an increased crusher feed rate. The focus during the next six
months will remain on further optimisation of maintenance practices, ore
fragmentation and ore loading rates to achieve sustainable production.
During the last six months of F2011, Nkomati delivered disappointing
results ascribed to various production complications, mainly attributed to
lower than expected head grade, recovery as well as operational
inefficiencies at both concentrator plants.
The 250 ktpm PCMZ plant was completed on time and within budget and
commissioned in October 2010. Design milling capacity on this plant was
achieved in June 2011. Nkomati`s total tonnes milled increased by 59% year
on year, but due to the problems discussed below, only yielded 4% more
nickel.
Chrome ore sales decreased to 334 803 tonnes (F2010: 502 281 tonnes) while
chrome concentrate sales increased by 22% to 381 196 tonnes (F2010: 313 735
tonnes).
Head grade and plant recoveries
Mining operations at Nkomati moved from the now depleted Pit 2, to Pit 3 in
February 2011. This resulted in the head grade of the Main Mineralised Zone
(MMZ) concentrator plant reducing from 0.4% to 0.3% nickel. Furthermore the
complexity of the ore body exacerbated by highly oxidised ore reduced
recoveries from the newly exposed Pit 3 shallow mining areas. This has a
direct impact on the concentrator plant recoveries, which are currently
running on average 8% below anticipated levels of approximately 68%.
The independent confirmation of nickel concentrate assay results taken
prior to shipment were significantly delayed during the financial year. The
delay in obtaining assay confirmations was due to the stockpiling of
Nkomati concentrate at the smelter in Finland. Once these confirmations
were received it became evident that the on-site assay results were
overstated thereby masking the problem of reduced plant recoveries. This
matter has been addressed by management by inter-alia appointing an
independent assay laboratory for the performance of testing until such time
as the on-site laboratory is accredited. The nickel units produced, which
were previously reported for the first half of the 2011 financial year (1H
F2011) as 5 321 tonnes, have been adjusted to 4 886 tonnes.
Due to timing of the shipments the Nkomati Nickel Mine had 720 tonnes
nickel in concentrate stock at the port at year end.
Variability as a result of the shallow oxidised ore is a temporary problem;
management is confident that ore quality will improve when the oxidised
zone is mined out over the next 18 months. To further mitigate the effect
of the complex ore body and to create increased mining flexibility, Nkomati
has now commenced with advanced stripping of 4 million tonnes of waste,
which will continue until November 2011.
Cash cost
Unit cost increased by 12% year on year to R271 per tonne milled and cash
cost net of by-products (C1 cash cost) increased from US$3.26/lb to
US$4.99/lb for the same period. The increase in C1 cash cost is caused by
the following, most of which is attributable to 2H F2011:
- Reduced nickel and by-products production as a result of the grade and
recovery issues discussed above.
- Termination of the capitalisation of pre-production working costs. In 1H
F2011 R287 million was capitalised, in contrast to R43 million in 2H F2011.
- Higher than anticipated drilling and blasting costs caused by the ore
variability.
- Excessive ore re-handling.
- Increased cost incurred on steel balls and reagents to improve plant
efficiencies.
Projects
Modikwa expansion
The feasibility study for the Phase 2 UG2 replacement and expansion project
was completed and presented to Modikwa`s shareholders for approval. In the
interim an amount of R125 million was approved to continue mining
development for the South 2 declines and the deepening of North shaft.
Two Rivers additional ore sources
As part of a feasibility study, Two Rivers is currently conducting Merensky
reef trial mining. A bulk sample of 70 000 tonnes was mined and will be
processed in September 2011. A feasibility study for the North open pit is
in progress.
Nkomati Nickel Large Scale Expansion Project
Total funds committed at 30 June 2011 amount to R3.5 billion of the total
R3.7 billion approved for the capital project. The next phase of the Eskom
power supply project is the upgrade of the 132kV overhead distribution
lines and we anticipate this to be completed by December 2011. Nkomati`s
Eskom Electricity Supply Agreement was concluded in December 2010.
Kalplats PGM Exploration Project
Platinum Australia (PLA) submitted a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) to
ARM Platinum for review. The review is still in progress but the joint
venture has agreed that carrying out pilot plant scale metallurgical test
work on a bulk sample from the existing box cut on the Crater deposit will
provide a more accurate estimate of the full scale plant recovery. The bulk
sample programme and test work is planned for the first half of F2012.
The ARM Platinum division comprises three operating mines, Modikwa, Two
Rivers and Nkomati. It has an effective 41.5% interest in Modikwa where
local communities hold an 8.5% effective interest. The remaining 50% is
held by Anglo Platinum. Two Rivers is an incorporated joint venture with
Implats, with ARM holding 55% and Implats 45%. Nkomati is a 50:50
partnership with Norilsk Nickel Africa. ARM Platinum also has an interest
in two joint ventures with PLA. The first is the "Kalplats Platinum
Project" in which ARM Platinum owns 90% and PLA can earn-in up to 49% by
completing a bankable feasibility study. The second joint venture,
"Kalplats Extended Area Project" is a 50:50 partnership between ARM
Platinum and PLA.
ARM Coal
Although ARM Coal experienced a challenging year, attributable cash
operating profit increased by R67 million from R376 million to R443
million. Headline earnings attributable to ARM declined by R86 million to a
R103 million loss. The deterioration in headline earnings can mainly be
ascribed to increased amortisation and interest charges. The rise in
interest charges is due the termination of the capitalisation of interest,
an increase in borrowing levels on existing facilities and a new facility
entered into for the funding of ARM Coal`s shareholding in Richards Bay
Coal Terminal Phase V. Interest charges are anticipated to remain at these
levels for the next year as borrowings for GGV peaks.
Notwithstanding that the coal processing plant at Goedgevonden Mine did not
consistently perform to design capacity, saleable production increased by
115% compared to F2010 as the mine continued to ramp-up towards full
production. The Participative Coal Business (PCB) operations experienced a
very challenging year resulting in saleable production being 29% lower than
F2010. The decline in production was due to a delay in the commissioning of
the iMpunzi East project, rationalisation of opencast and underground
production at Tweefontein and the unplanned closure of the 5 seam
operation. Run of Mine (ROM) stock levels at both GGV and PCB increased
substantially during the year due to the coal processing plants not
reaching consistent design capacity performance. Sufficient stock is
available for plant feed when the GGV and iMpunzi East processing plants
reach steady state design capacity. The challenges on the TFR line to
Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT) resulted in high levels of export
saleable product stock on the mines, placing the operations in a good
position to meet any improvement in TFR`s performance.
The API 4 coal prices increased from approximately US$93/t in June 2010 to
US$116/t in June 2011 but ARM Coal did not benefit from this as the major
portion of sales were concluded at previously negotiated long-term contract
prices and also as a result of lower quality coal sales to the Asian
markets.
The average export coal prices realised by ARM Coal did however increase by
17% from US$67/t in F2010 to US$78/t in F2011.
Goedgevonden Coal Mine (GGV)
Ramp-up continued during the year, increasing ROM production by 86%
compared to F2010. All coal processing plant modules were commissioned in
F2011 and although the plant did not consistently perform to design
capacity, saleable production increased by 115% from 2.7 million tonnes to
5.9 million tonnes.
Eskom and export sales volumes increased by 133% and 124% respectively
during F2011, but the challenges at TFR continue to have a negative impact
on sales volumes. During 2H F2011 approximately seven weeks of railing were
lost due to derailments, industrial action and the extended closure of the
line for maintenance.
Attributable cash operating profit increased by 92% from R112 million to
R214 million. The increase in sales volumes resulted in attributable
revenue being R258 million higher than F2010. Total on mine operating costs
increased by R300 million in line with the increase in production volumes.
The capitalisation of working costs and interest was terminated when the
mine reached steady state production during the review period. Operating
costs per saleable tonne increased by 18% to R166 per tonne (F2010: R141
per tonne).
Although attributable consolidated cash operating profit increased by just
over R100 million, headline earnings remained relatively constant at R32
million as a result of an increase in depreciation and finance costs. The
amortisation increased in line with the increase in ROM production and
sales volumes which form the basis for calculating the amortisation charge.

ARM
Participating Coal Business (PCB)
ROM and saleable production during F2011 were 12% and 29% lower
respectively when compared to F2010. Almost all of the operations
comprising the PCB produced less ROM and saleable coal during F2011. F2010
attributable saleable production included 271kt of low quality product that
was sold to Eskom at a reduced price. From 1 March 2011 ARM commenced
treating the Mpumalanga assets as an asset held for sale and consequently
also excluded attributable ROM and saleable production of 128kt and 69kt
respectively from these two mines from its production figures.
Production was affected by excessive rain during December 2010, the late
commissioning of the iMpunzi East project, the planned rationalisation of
underground and opencast mining at the Tweefontein division and the
unplanned closure of the 5 seam operation. Both modules of the new coal
processing plant at ATCOM East were commissioned during 2H F2011 and it is
anticipated that the 1 700 tonnes/hour design capacity will be achieved in
1H F2012.
Attributable revenue was R90 million lower in F2011 compared to F2010
comprised of a negative volume variance of R210 million, a negative
exchange rate variance of R71 million offset to some degree by a favourable
price variance of R191 million.
Domestic demand continued to decline which resulted in a 33% reduction in
sales volumes. The continued underperformance of TFR resulted in a 14%
decrease in export sales volumes. During 2H F2011 several weeks were lost
due to derailments, industrial action and the extended closure of the line
for maintenance. Average Eskom prices achieved during F2011 reflected an
increase of R42.71 (68%) as 25% of the F2010 sales comprised volumes of
lower quality product sold to Eskom at a much reduced price.
Total on mine cash costs for F2011 was marginally lower than F2010 but the
average cost per saleable ton increased by 35% to R338 per tonne in F2011
compared to R250 in F2010 due to lower volumes and the transition of PCB to
open cast mining.
Attributable headline earnings declined from a R51 million loss to a R135
million loss mainly due to a decrease of R35 million in operating profit,
an increase in finance costs as a result of an increase in borrowings and
an increase in amortisation.
During F2011 Xstrata successfully negotiated the sale of the Mpumalanga
assets located in Ermelo. All agreements have been signed and the
transaction is subject to some conditions precedent which are expected to
be achieved by December 2011. ARM has treated these assets as "assets held
for sale" with effect from 1 March 2011.

ARM Copper
The Vale/ARM JV ("the JV") completed the bankable feasibility study for the
Konkola North Copper Project in June 2010 and approved the release of the
Konkola North Copper Project in August 2010. The project was subsequently
opened by his excellency, the President of the Republic of Zambia, Rupai B.
Banda, at a ground-breaking ceremony held on 14 October 2010.
The project capital expenditure in July 2010 terms is US$391 million. The
slight increase was attributable to increased safety measures deployed at
the mine. 82% of the total project value has already been contracted and
project progress is in accordance with the feasibility study with
commissioning of the concentrator plant expected in December 2012.
The mine`s throughput design is 2.5 mtpa of ore at an average mill head
grade of 2.3% copper, yielding 45 000 tonnes of contained copper in
concentrate to be toll smelted in Zambia. The expected life of mine will be
28 years. A further two year exploration programme to evaluate Area "A"
which has potential to double the output to 100 000 tonnes copper per annum
in concentrate is in progress. Initially the South and East Limb Mines will
be developed, after which the deeper, higher grade and wider reef areas
will be mined.
The Konnoco (ZAMBIA) Limited mining licence, LML20, has recently been
granted an extension to incorporate the Prospecting Licence of Area "A".
The revised licence, Licence 7061-HQ-LML, was issued in July 2011 and
covers an area of 240 km2. The mining licence is bound by the Zambia/DRC
border to the west, north and east and the KCM Konkola mining licence is
adjacent to the south.
ZCCM-Investment Holding PLC (ZCCM) notified the JV of its intention to
exercise their buy-in right into the project company of 20% with 5% thereof
being a free carry. In addition, ZCCM also elected to have their portion of
the non-free carry equity and project funding provided through their own
sourced financing.
The JV will continue with the extensive drilling programme in Area "A"
situated about 5 km south of the planned mine development on the Konkola
North property. Drilling in the recent past has defined a substantial
copper resource in Area "A", and the planned drilling will further enhance
this resource base.
ARM owns 100% of ARM Copper. ARM Copper owns 50% of the JV. Previously, ARM
owned 65% of TEAL which was listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
ARM Exploration
The JV exploration objective is to complete a feasibility study on the ore
bodies associated with the Kalumines mining licence property in the DRC.
The Kalumines property is located 23 km to the west of Lubumbashi and the
JV has outlined four ore bodies with copper mineralisation comprising a
total indicated copper oxide and mixed oxide/sulphides resource of 52.3 Mt
at a grade of 2.03% copper and an inferred resource of 17.9 Mt at a grade
of 1.74% copper. The JV undertook further metallurgical test work, mine
design, related engineering work and completed a feasibility study. This
study was submitted to the JV partners and Gecamines at the end of July
2011. This feasibility will be evaluated and a decision is expected within
the next year.
The JV has further exploration rights on an exclusive large scale
prospecting licence south of the town of Kabwe, Zambia. Geophysical and
geochemical surveys have outlined three target anomalies and a small
drilling programme was completed. Two of the three boreholes intersected
significant thicknesses of copper sulphides mineralisation. Further
geological work and drilling is planned in the next financial year.
In addition to the exploration work being done by the JV, the ARM
Exploration Division has signed an agreement with a Mozambican exploration
company, Rovuma Resources, for the prospecting in Mozambique for manganese
ore, nickel, PGMs and base metals. This ongoing exploration is estimated to
cost approximately US$7 million per annum. ARM Exploration will have
exclusive rights to exercise options to purchase prospecting/mining rights
to the resources.
The loss attributable to ARM increased to R173 million in F2011 (F2010:
R143 million loss) and is as a result of exploration drilling, feasibility
study, finance and administration costs.
Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited ("Harmony")
Harmony reported significantly improved headline earnings of R957 million
compared to R4 million in the previous financial year. This improvement was
mainly as a result of a higher realised gold price which increased 16% from
R266 009/kg to R307 875/kg. Harmony achieved a 22% increase in gold
production from its build-up operations, however total production was down
9% as a result of shafts that were closed as part of the strategy to
deliver safe, profitable and sustainable ounces.
Harmony continued to make excellent headway in its exploration in Papua New
Guinea and in the year under review increased the Wafi Golpu deposit
resources by 57% to 1 billion tonnes. Golpu`s copper grade is now over 1%
confirming that it is one of the highest grade copper gold porphyry in
South East Asia. On 100% basis Golpu hosts a resource of 869 million tonnes
containing 19.3 million ounces of gold and 9.0 million tonnes of copper.
For the financial year ended 30 June 2011 Harmony declared an increased
dividend of 60 cents per share (Harmony F2010: 50 cents per share). ARM
will account for this dividend in its F2012 results.
The ARM statement of financial position at 30 June 2011 reflects a mark-to-
market investment in Harmony of R5.8 billion which is based on a Harmony
share price of R89.95 per share. Changes in the value of the investment in
Harmony are accounted for by ARM through the statement of comprehensive
income net of deferred capital gains tax. Dividends are recognised in the
ARM income statement on the last day of registration following dividend
declaration.
Harmony`s results for the quarter and six months ended 30 June 2011 can be
viewed on Harmony`s website at www.harmony.co.za
ARM owns 14.8% of Harmony`s issued share capital.
Outlook
The past financial year has seen a continuing recovery in commodity markets
across most of ARM`s commodities. Prices for manganese ore have however
fallen during the past six months and remain subdued largely due to
increased inventories.
The past quarter has once again seen increased uncertainty and thus short-
term volatility around sovereign debt issues in Europe and the United
States. In particular the United States debt ceiling issue which was
resolved shortly before key deadlines has brought that economy`s recovery
into sharp focus.
ARM nevertheless expects most commodity prices to remain robust over the
medium term supported by demand from China, India and other emerging
economies. In addition it is likely that supply constraints from producers
will also bolster prices.
Over the past three years ARM has spent R9.5 billion on capital expenditure
and did not curtail any growth projects during the economic crisis of 2008.
As ARM is confident about the future and attributable capital spend of more
than R10 billion is planned over the next three years to June 2014. This
amount is expected to be largely funded from operating cash flows and
existing funding resources.
Dividends
The Board is pleased to declare a significantly increased fifth annual
dividend of 450 cents per share. The amount to be paid will be
approximately R960 million. This dividend represents a 125% increase
compared to the F2010 dividend of 200 cents per share and is consistent
with ARM`s commitment to return cash to shareholders while simultaneously
maintaining the ability to fund growth of the Company in the future.
The last day to trade ARM shares to participate in this dividend (cum-
dividend) will be Friday, 16 September 2011 and ARM shares will trade ex-
dividend from Monday, 19 September 2011. The record date will be Friday, 23
September 2011 with payment of the dividend occurring on Monday, 26
September 2011. No dematerialisation or rematerialisation of share
certificates may occur between Monday, 19 September 2011 and Friday, 23
September, 2011 both days inclusive.
