Commentary
The main focus of the Group during the year under review was the continuation of exploration
activities to develop the platinum assets (“Bauba Project”). These audited abridged condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect the costs incurred relating to these activities in developing
the Bauba Project. In this regard the Group declared an additional inferred resource of 9.8Moz
(attributable 5.9Moz) Platinum Group Metals (“PGM”) over part of the northern cluster. The southern
cluster inferred resource was reassessed during the year and was reduced to 7.4Moz (attributable
4.5Moz) PGM resulting in a total inferred resource of 17.2Moz (attributable 10.2Moz) PGM. The total
target resource is 109.9Moz (attributable 65.9Moz) PGM.

Exploration
The group focused on the exploration drilling programme on the central and northern cluster during
the year under review with two holes completed in the central cluster and three holes in the northern
cluster. The final results from the drilling were assessed, adding an additional 8.6Moz (5.2Moz
attributable) PGM to the total inferred resource after accounting for the adjustment of the southern
cluster inferred resource. The geophysical surveys that have been conducted and data analysis and
modelling has led to improved interpretation of structural features over the central and northern
properties. The interpretation of the structure as well as the depth of intersection of the reefs is
consistent with that found on the neighbouring properties.

The plan for the next financial year includes continued drilling in the northern cluster. The number of
drill rigs in operation will depend on the economic climate and the ability of the Group to raise capital
when required. Currently all drilling activities have been placed on hold due to the current cash
constraints of the Group.

Notes to the audited abridged condensed consolidated financial
statements:

Issue of shares
During the year under review the Company did not issue any shares.

Segmental information
The Group has classified three segments namely, (1) Discontinued operations, being all the non-core,
non-platinum assets that were disposed of in the prior year, (2) Corporate expenses, being overhead
and corporate expenses incurred and (3) Exploration, being activities associated with the Bauba
Project and platinum exploration.

Going concern
The directors have continued to adopt the „going concern? basis for the preparation of the audited
financial statements. As is common with many junior mining companies, the Group raises capital for
exploration and other projects as and when required. There can be no assurance that the Group?s
projects will be fully developed in accordance with current plans or completed on time or to budget.
Future work on the development of these projects may be adversely affected by factors outside of the
control of the Group.

Following negotiations with shareholders the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group
will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next twelve months.


Contingent liabilities
The Group is involved in two litigation matters. The details are:
    A review application was lodged by Rustenburg Platinum with regards to the prospecting rights
    held over the farms Genokakop 285 KT and Groot Vygenboom 284 KT; and
    A previous employee of the Company has lodged a claim for compensation due to his
    resignation.

The Company has taken senior counsel advice on both these matters and was informed that the
Company has a strong case in both instances and the judicial system should find in the Company?s
favour. The potential financial effect of the outcomes is uncertain in light of the outcome being
subjected to the judicial process.

To the best of our knowledge and belief there are no other contingent liabilities to third parties and/or
contingent assets not set out or referred to in this report which may materially affect the financial
position of the Group.

Changes to the board of directors
Mr G Pitt resigned as a director and chief executive officer on 31 January 2013 and Mr SJM Caddy
was appointed as a director and chief executive officer of the Company on 13 February 2013.

Subsequent events

The directors are not aware of any subsequent events other than those disclosed above that occurred
between the date of authorisation of the annual financial statements and the year-end that require any
adjustments or additional disclosure to the annual financial statements.

Audit opinion
The independent auditors, BDO South Africa Inc., have issued their opinion on the group?s financial
statements for 30 June 2013 year-end. The audit was conducted in accordance with International
Standards on Auditing. They have issued an unqualified audit opinion with an emphasis of matter on
going concern. These audited abridged condensed consolidated financial statements have been
derived from the group financial statements and are consistent in all material respects with the group
financial statements. A copy of their audit report is available for inspection at the Company?s
registered office.

The emphasis of matter extract of the report is as follows: “EMPHASIS OF MATTER Without
qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the consolidated and separate annual financial statements
which indicate that the Group incurred a net loss of R9 573 000 for the year ended 30 June 2013 and,
as at the date of this report, the Group?s cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain the operations
of the Group for more than 12 months subsequent to year end. The note 23 also indicates that these
conditions, along with other matters, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast
significant doubt on the Company?s ability to continue as a going concern.”
