   Shareholders are referred to the resource update published on 10 May 2011 and the subsequent
   announcements and circular to shareholders relative, inter alia, to the acquisition by Chrometco of
   geological drill data and drill core from NKWE Platinum (South Africa) (Pty) Ltd and Realm Resources
   Limited (“Realm”)(“the Realm transaction”), which were published on 13 August, 2 October and 2
   November 2012.      The first phase of the Realm transaction detailed in the circular has been
   completed and Chrometco has updated its resource statement with regard to its Rooderand chrome
   mineral assets (“Rooderand asset”) as set out below, based on the inclusion of the acquired
   geological drill data and drill core in the existing data which was available to the company.

   Considering all available data, the Competent Person therefore concluded that the SAMREC
   compliant mineral resources within the tenement held by Chrometco comprises the following:

   The effect of the update of the chrome mineral resource statement reflects a significant increase in
   the Rooderand chrome resource. The above mineral resource estimate is based on all currently
   available information. Further work on the mineral resource estimate is currently underway and
   accordingly, adjustments to the resource estimation, especially for PGE minerals, is expected.

   Independent Valuation
   It is expected that the aforesaid significant increase in the company’s chrome resource will result in
   a significant increase in the valuation of the company’s Rooderand asset. The company is in the
   process of engaging with an independent valuation expert regarding the update of the valuation of
   the Rooderand assets. Shareholders will be advised through further announcements regarding the
   outcome of this process.

   Shareholders are referred to the company’s cautionary announcement dated 31 January 2013 and
