NUM Declares Industry Wide Strike 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” or “the Company”) NUM Declares Industry Wide Strike Westonaria, 2 September 2013: Sibanye Gold (JSE: SGL & NYSE: SBGL) advises stakeholders that the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) has given notice that it will commence with an industry wide strike, starting with the night shift on Tuesday 03 September 2013. The planned industrial action follows a dispute declared by NUM on 27 August 2013, after the parties to the gold sector wage negotiations were unable to reach agreement. The Company has, since February this year, prepared contingency plans which should limit potential losses during strike related production disruptions and has ensured that it has sufficient financial flexibility to endure an extended strike. While the impact of the industrial action cannot be predicted as yet, stakeholders will continue to be kept informed of further developments.
