REVIEWED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED PROVISIONAL FINANCIAL RESULTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011
Highlights
- Conclusion of the transaction with China-Africa Jinchuan Investment
Limited and Micawber 809 (Pty) Ltd resulting in the subscription of 829
884 460 new ordinary shares for an amount of US$227 million (R1 565,6
million).
- Development of the Bakubung Platinum Mine (previously known as the
Frischgewaagd-Ledig project) officially launched.
- Development of the Maseve Platinum Mine on track to commence production by
2014.
COMMENTARY
Project development
After the equity injection and associated funding commitment secured in May
2011, the Company officially launched the Bakubung Platinum Mine in July 2011
and settled its equalisation liability related to its minority shareholding in
Maseve Investments 11 (Pty) Ltd ("Maseve"). As a result of these milestones
the Company has made the full transformation from its original focus on
exploration to becoming a significant mid tier mining company.
Bakubung Platinum Mine project
Production is planned to commence by 2018 with designed annual production of
4E (3PGM + Au) averaging 350 000 ounces expected from 2023 onwards. The
Bakubung Platinum Mine ore body remains one of the best un-mined PGM deposits
in South Africa, with above-average grades. The planned mining operation will
be at an average depth of 850 metres and a very competitive operating cost is
envisaged over the 35 year life-of-mine.
The project was reviewed in detail to validate the mine design, capital budget
estimates and life of mine financial projections. The current capital budget
estimate of R7,9 billion is only marginally higher than the previous inflation
adjusted estimate and ongoing improvement is likely to be derived from the
redesign and continuous process improvement on the concepts. The current year
expenditure on this project related predominantly to the Engineering,
procurement and Construction Management ("EPCM") and other consultants costs
relating to early works, cost of this validation, tender processes and the
required site establishment, earth and civil works in preparation to commence
with shaft sinking. Capital commitments relating to mine development amounted
to R305 million at year end.
The provision of bulk supplies (power and water) is on schedule and the
necessary supporting guarantees have been provided. The owner`s team and the
EPCM contractor were secured and appointed. The successful sinking contractor
Aveng Grinaker-LTA was announced on 28 March 2012 with the order to be placed
on Thursday 5 April 2012 to commence work on site as soon as possible.
The Company`s management is continuing to evaluate potential infrastructure
synergies with the mine`s neighbours and will focus on achieving continuous
improvement.
Maseve Platinum Mine project
The project being developed by Maseve, under the management of the majority
shareholder, Platinum Group Metals (RSA) (Pty) Ltd ("PTM"), is expected to
commence production by 2014 and reach full production of 275 000 ounces per
annum of 4E (3PGM + Au) by 2019.
Funding
The Company received an equity injection of US$227 million (R1 565,6 million)
by means of allotting 732 522 177 ordinary shares to China-Africa Jinchuan
Investment Limited ("China-Africa Jinchuan") and 97 362 283 ordinary shares to
Micawber 809 (Pty) Ltd ("Micawber") for a subscription price of US$200 368 295
and US$26 631 705 respectively. This transaction also resulted in a share-
based payment expense and a related exchange rate gain that is reflected in
the financial reports. China-Africa Jinchuan is the nominated shareholder of
the Chinese Consortium comprising the Jinchuan Group Limited ("Jinchuan" or
"JNMC") and China-Africa Development Fund ("CADFund") and are the parties to
the subscription agreement in terms of which the shares were issued and in
terms of which the Chinese Consortium undertakes to provide the additional
funding that may be required in order to achieve operational completion of the
Bakubung Platinum Mine project. As such, the current Wesizwe shareholders will
not be called upon to provide further funding or be subject to dilution. This
funding will be provided either by JNMC and CADFund directly or through the
provision of third party funding on terms similar to those of the funding to
be provided by the China Development Bank. To this end a facility of US$650
million with China Development Bank is in the process of being set up with
reference to the relevant term sheets. The Company is committed to a fee of 1%
on the additional funding when it is actually received in cash.
PTM exercised its option, in terms of the shareholders` agreement, to
subscribe for additional shares in Maseve and caused Wesizwe`s effective share
in Maseve to be diluted from 45,25% down to 26% and resulted in the
recognition of a loss on dilution in Maseve (equity accounted investee) of
R9,2 million. In terms of the shareholders` agreement Wesizwe will not be
required to make further cash contributions towards the project until PTM has
contributed a total of R1,57 billion in cash for the development of the
project. Any remaining balance of funding required will have to be provided by
shareholders proportionally to shareholding but it is currently envisaged that
this funding will be secured as loan funding from financial institutions.
Financial overview
The Group recorded a loss before tax amounting to R372 million (2010 - profit
of R304 million). These results takes account of operational cost amounting to
R69 million (2010 - R87 million) and net financial income amounting to R45
million (2010 - R394 million) and the cost related to equity financing
amounting to R347 million (2010 - R3 million) as presented in more detail in
the condensed group statement of comprehensive income.
Community issues
Challenges continue to be present in the Community largely due to a long
standing leadership vacuum. Despite this, Wesizwe continues to be committed to
sustainable community development and empowerment. Our strategic intent is to
restore community confidence in Wesizwe as a business partner and have made
significant contributions to the Community and the resolution and
formalisation of the communities` affairs. The Company acknowledges the
Community as one of its important stakeholders and strives to have a healthy
relationship with the Community. To this end, Wesizwe conducted a community
stakeholder perception survey to probe perceptions of the Ledig community on
the mine project being developed in Ledig. The feedback received is used to
formulate future interaction and plans.
Directorate and changes to the board
There were a number of significant changes to the Wesizwe board during the
course of 2011. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the transaction
between Jinchuan, CADFund, Micawber and China-Africa Jinchuan, Mr Dexin Chen,
Mr Jianke Gao, Mr Jikang Li, Mr Wenliang (Michael) Ma, Mr Lincoln (James)
Ngculu, Mr Liliang Teng and Mr Qiyin (James) Zhang were appointed to the board

Jacques de Wet resigned as directors of the company at the same meeting. Mr
Rob Rainey, Mr Mike Solomon and Mr Julian Williams stepped down from the board
during the course of the year.
Mr Arthur Mashiatshidi resigned as chief executive officer in May 2011 but
stayed on as Joint Chief Executive Officer with Mr Qiyin (James) Zhang until
Mr Jianke Gao officially assumed the position on 2 August 2011. Mr Wenliang
(Michael) Ma`s appointment as finance director was confirmed on 23 August
2011. Mr Mlibo Mgudlwa resigned from his position as corporate affairs
executive director, and remains on the board as a non-executive director. Mr

Notes to the condensed consolidated provisional financial results
for the year ended 31 December 2011
1. Reporting entity
Wesizwe Platinum Limited ("Wesizwe" or "the Company") is a company
domiciled in the Republic of South Africa. The condensed consolidated
provisional annual financial results as at 31 December 2011 comprise
the Company, its subsidiaries and the Group`s interest in its equity
accounted investee (together referred to as the "Group"). The
consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31
December 2010 are available upon request from the Company`s registered
office at Unit 13, 2nd Floor, 3 Melrose Boulevard, Melrose Arch,
Johannesburg, 2076 or at www.wesizwe.com.
2. Statement of compliance
The condensed group provisional annual financial results are prepared
in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of
International Financial Reporting Standards and presented in accordance
with the minimum content, including disclosures, prescribed by IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting applied to year end reporting, and South
African Statements and Interpretations of Statements of Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice (AC 500 Series) and the Companies Act,
2008, of South Africa.
3. Independent review
The condensed group provisional annual results of Wesizwe Platinum
Limited for the year ended 31 December 2011 have been reviewed by the
Company`s auditor, KPMG Inc. In their review report dated 2 April 2012,
which is available for inspection at the Company`s registered office,
KPMG Inc state that their review was conducted in accordance with the
International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim
Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, which
applies to a review of group provisional financial information, and
have expressed an unmodified conclusion on the condensed group
provisional annual financial results.
4. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies applied by the Group in the condensed group
provisional financial results are the same as those applied by the
Group in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2010.
5. Estimates
The financial reports and commentary in this provisional report contain
information and is based on calculations that require management to
make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application
of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
In preparing the condensed group provisional financial results, the
significant judgements made by management in applying the Group`s
accounting policies and the key sources of estimation, except as listed
below, were the same as those that applied to the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010. Management
engaged the services of various professional research and forecasting
experts, including that of SFA (Oxford) Limited for product prices to
prepare projections and forecasts regarding future economic outlook,
exchange rates and product prices.
The following economic parameters were assumed:
US$ exchange rate (ZAR) 8.50
Pt price (US$/oz) 2 000
Pd price (US$/oz) 760
Rh price (US$/oz) 5 900
Au price (US$/oz) 1 400
MR basket price (US$/oz) 1 926
Discount rate/Weighted Average Cost of Capital (%) 8.20
(Real)
Management acknowledges that the ZAR/US$ exchange rate and commodity
prices have been volatile and movements would have an impact on the
values as determined by management. Management is of the opinion that,
given the fact that the NAV of the mining assets at year-end were below
the determined fair values, the assets of the Group are not impaired. A
6.5% reduction, changing the MR basket price from US$1 926/oz to US$1
800/oz will result in the determined fair value approximating the NAV.

As previously reported, the Company was requested by the DMR to
assist the Community and the Royal Family in their efforts to
obtain proper accounting for the community`s assets in relation
to Wesizwe. Consequently, funds were advanced by way of direct
payment to service providers. In 2010 the courts made a ruling
in favour of the Community that the cost of legal proceedings
be paid by the respondents.
In evaluating the recoverability of the loan, Management is of
the opinion that the recoverability within the next 6 to 12
months is doubtful and, in adopting a conservative approach,
has accordingly impaired the loan for accounting purposes.

14. Environmental rehabilitation obligation
This long-term obligation reflects the estimated future costs
of closure, restoration and environmental rehabilitation
(which include the dismantling and demolition of
infrastructure, removal of residual materials and remediation
of disturbed areas) in the accounting period when the related
environmental disturbance occurs. An estimate is made of the
escalated future rehabilitation cost based on environmental
plans in accordance with current technology, environmental and
regulatory requirements and is discounted using a pre-tax risk-
free rate that reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money. At the time of establishing the provision, a
corresponding asset is recognised and depreciated over the
future life of the asset to which it relates. The provision is
re-assessed on an annual basis for changes in cost estimates,
discount rates and useful lives.
