 UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL OF A NON-CORE
 ASSET BY JUBILEE
 WITHDRAWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT


In compliance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited
(“JSE”), Jubilee, the JSE listed and AIM quoted Mine-to-Metals
exploration and development company, is pleased to announce the
unaudited pro forma financial effects (“Effects”) of the Sale of
Shares agreement (“Agreement”)with Global Renewal Energy Limited
(“GRE”), details of which were announced on 28 May 2013 and in terms
of which GRE will acquire from Jubilee, the issued share capital of
Jubilee Smelting and Refining (Pty) Ltd (“JSR”), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Jubilee and the issued share capital of Power Alt (Pty)
Ltd (“PowerAlt”)(collectively “Sale Shares”), for an aggregate cash
consideration of US$14 million (“Transaction”). The Transaction may
be executed over two tranches, namely a disposal which includes the
sale of 65% of the issued share capital of JSR and 40% of the issued
share capital of PowerAlt (“the Disposal”) and an option whereby
Jubilee retains an exclusive put option for the remaining share
capital held by the Company (“the Option”). The Effects in this
announcement relate to the Disposal and does not incorporate the pro
forma financial effects of the Option.

Key Features of the Effects:

  -   Net asset value per share up 5.63%;
  -   Tangible net asset value per share up 27.75%
  -   The illustrative values excludes the increase in intangible
      value due to;
        - retaining the right to process platinum material in the 5
           MW ARC furnace,
        - the free option to build a second 5MW ARC furnace and,
         - the right to participate in the expansion of the power
           plant.

 Pro forma financial effects

 The Effects are issued in compliance with the Listings Requirements
 of the JSE and have been prepared for illustrative purposes only. The
 Effects are the responsibility of the directors of Jubilee. Due to
 the nature of the Effects, they may not fairly present Jubilee’s
 financial position, changes in equity and results of its operations
 or cash flows for the period. It does not purport to be indicative of
 what the financial results would have been, had the Disposal been
 implemented on a different date. The Effects do not attempt to
 illustrate the business plan of the Jubilee group on a forward
 looking   basis  but   simply  captures   the  historical   financial
 information of Jubilee.


 The table below sets out the Effects on, inter alia, Jubilee’s
 earnings per share (“EPS”), fully diluted EPS, headline loss per
 share (“HLPS”), fully diluted HLPS, net asset value (“NAV”) per
 ordinary share and tangible NAV (“TNAV”) per ordinary share based on
 the most recently published unaudited pro forma financial effects as
 published in the circular dated 26 April 2013 a copy of which is
 available on the Company’s website www.jubileeplatinum.com. The
 Effects are based on the assumptions set out beneath the table and
 include assumptions on share price.

  Notes and assumptions:
  1. Extracted from the unaudited pro forma financial effects of the
     acquisition of PLA by Jubilee as published in the circular posted
     to shareholders on 26 April 2013;
  2. Prepared on the assumption that the Disposal took place on 1 July
     2012 for purposes of the pro forma statement of comprehensive
     income and on 31 December 2012 for purposes of the pro forma
     statement of financial.
  3. The pro forma financial effects have been prepared on the
     assumption that:
    -      Transaction costs in respect of the Disposal amounted to
           GBP8,000;
    -      The disposal of shares in JSR and PowerAlt results in the
           loss of control of both of these entities and requires that
           they are no longer consolidated;
    -      Jubilee retains significant influence over JSR and PowerAlt
           and as a result their remaining interests in these entities
           are accounted for as investments in associates by way of
           equity accounting;
    -      Jubilee’s share of any profits or losses attributable to
           these investments is accounted for, in the statement of
           comprehensive income, as income from associates; and
    -      The balance of Jubilee’s Class A and Class B loans are
           accounted for as other financial assets.
    -      The loss on the Disposal approximates that portion of the
           loan claims that was sold to GRE amounting to GBP4.361
           million and is included in profit and loss but excluded from
           headline earnings.


 Withdrawal of cautionary announcement

 Jubilee shareholders are advised that as the pro forma financial
 effects in relation to the Transaction have been disclosed in this
 announcement, caution is no longer required to be exercised by
 Jubilee shareholders when dealing in their shares.
