SMALL NUMBER OF SISHEN WORKERS ON UNPROTECTED STRIKE

Kumba has confirmed that about 300 employees at the Company’s Sishen
Mine in the Northern Cape have embarked on unprotected industrial
action since last night. The employees are not represented by any of
the recognised unions and their exact demands are not clear. The
action is limited to one area within the vast mining area of the open
cast mine leaving most of the mine unaffected.

The action is being dealt with in line with the Company’s labour
relations procedure, with due consideration to the safety of the vast
majority of workers who are not taking part in the unprotected
strike.

The Company will provide further updates as appropriate.
