Two drill rigs are currently in operation on the Central Cluster, drilling boreholes BAU-022 and BAU-024. Merensky reef has been intersected at a depth of 2 340m on borehole BAU-022. Logging and sampling of core from these boreholes is in progress. The Company currently has one drill rig operating on the Northern Cluster. The first borehole, BAU-040, has been completed, and a second hole, BAU-041 is in progress. BAU-040 successfully intersected the Merensky and UG2 Reefs at depths of 1 792m and 2 272m respectively. The assay results for this borehole have revealed 3PGE+Au grades of 6.15g/t over a width of 3.90m on the Merensky reef and 6.25g/t over a width of 1.20m on the UG2 reef. Grant Pitt, Chief Executive Officer of Bauba Platinum, commented: “The results from BAU-040 are particularly pleasing with encouraging channel widths and the assayed grades being better than initially expected. This gives us confidence in our planned drilling programme.” Johannesburg 2 October 2012 Sponsor Merchantec Capital Date: 02/10/2012 11:20:00 Produced by the JSE SENS Department.
