Update on Beatrix 4 Shaft - Partial Production Resumes Sibanye Gold Limited Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa Registration number 2002/031431/06 Share code: SGL ISIN – ZAE000173951 Issuer code: SGL (“Sibanye Gold”) Update on Beatrix 4 Shaft - Partial Production Resumes Westonaria, 26 February 2013: Sibanye Gold Limited (Sibanye Gold) (JSE, NYSE: SGL) wishes to confirm that partial production has resumed at Beatrix 4 Shaft (previously the Oryx Mine), on Monday 25 February 2013. Operations at Beatrix 4 Shaft were suspended by Sibanye Gold management on Wednesday 20 February 2013, following a fire which affected a meaningful part of Beatrix 4 Shaft. Beatrix management has isolated and sealed off the affected area. Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide levels confirm that there is no leakage on the seals. The morning shift resumed operations in the unaffected working areas and crews from the affected area have been redirected to gold recovery activities in older working areas. The fire, affecting 2 700m2 of the Zone 5 production area, has not yet been extinguished and management is unsure when it will be able to resume operations in that area or the extent of the damage, which may result in partial sterilisation of the ore body. Management confirms that 32kg (1 029oz) of production has been lost during the four day suspension of Beatrix 4 shaft operations and approximately 61kg (1 961oz) will be lost from the affected area every month that production does not take place.
