ABOUT MASTER DRILLING GROUP LIMITED

Master Drilling is one of the world's leaders in the raiseboring market and provides specialised drilling
services to major, mid-tier and junior mining and exploration companies, which focus on mining a range
of different commodities.

Master Drilling also provides drilling services for civil engineering applications in a variety of emerging
markets and the Group offers complete project management expertise in projects ranging from
exploration-stage drilling through to production-stage drilling.

The Group has specialised in-house drilling equipment design, manufacturing, training and maintenance
capabilities, which allow it to tailor solutions to meet the specific conditions and drilling requirements
of its customers. The Group's raiseboring capability offers advantages over other conventional drilling
methods including increased speed and safety.

By year-end, the Group was actively operating 157 drilling rigs across Southern Africa, Latin America,
West Africa and the Middle East. These rigs are owned or leased by Master Drilling, with a few
operated through rentals from third parties. As the global mining industry focuses on a greater level
of mechanisation, Master Drilling is pursuing organic growth opportunities in Mexico and Peru and
expanding geographically in Colombia, and the DRC. Master Drilling is enhancing its position as a world-
class supplier of technologically-advanced mine drilling operations, as well as value-added services.

Master Drilling's business strategy is to maintain and improve its current status as a leading, global
specialised drilling services company and to deliver long-term, sustainable growth through the further
development and expansion of its drilling services. It intends to achieve this by strengthening and
consolidating its position in existing markets through focused organic growth and strategic acquisitions,
expanding into new markets and enhancing operational efficiencies, while continuing its dedicated focus
on quality and safety.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

Dear Shareholder
The past year has been a period of significant transition for our Company as well as our nation. We pay
tribute to former President Nelson Mandela, who passed away on 5 December 2013. His voice of reason
and graceful compassion after his release from prison were the determining factors offering a pathway of
stability and unity, to a nation on the brink of civil unrest. Iconic in stature, he will be sorely missed, not
only for his wisdom, but for his unsurpassed presence that provided the world with an example of how
a country may progress through dialogue, fairness and reconciliation. May we continue to build on his
achievements to make our country a stronger and better place for its people.

It is with great pleasure that I report back to you on the significant progress made since our listing on
the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in December 2012. Our CEO, Danie Pretorius, adeptly supported
by his executive team and his employees has been resolute and focused on the business, despite
the added responsibility of leading a listed company. The entire Board together with our capable
Company Secretariat have ensured we take the necessary steps to comply with all relevant legislation,
particularly the new Companies Act, King III and the JSE Listings Requirements. Indeed we have
successfully completed the transition from a private enterprise to a publicly listed company. This is
clearly reflected in the upward movement of our share price, the increased value of our order book
and the Company's profitability.

During the course of the year the Board held a number of sessions to formalise a five-year strategic plan
that will take Master Drilling into the foreseeable future. The plan seeks to ensure that sustainability and
risk minimisation are essential going forward, with geographical and commodity diversification playing
an important role in combating currency and commodity volatility. The executive team is continuously
developing objectives to achieve this strategy and specific measures and targets will be set annually to
ensure success.

Economic volatility has made the operating environment for mining challenging. Although pockets
of positive growth appear evident on the horizon in the developed world, emerging markets remain
subdued. Commodity prices such as iron ore, coal and copper have shown resilience to fluctuations,
but the same cannot be said for metals such as gold and the platinum group basket. Under these
circumstances it is essential that the political will between governments, labour and business be unified
to promote confidence for investment.

From a macro perspective it would appear that the world economy is slowly "awakening" from the 2009
financial crisis. As Master Drilling continues its strategy of diversifying its jurisdictions, some areas will
contribute more to the bottom-line than others. Latin America is just such a case where copper continues
to hold its value, as well as the Kumba contract for iron ore, which is performing well. The majority of
contracts awarded and undertaken are denominated in currencies other than SA Rand. The year ahead,
with pockets of improved economic life emerging, appears favourable for the Company to continue
generating strong cash flows as in the previous 12 months.

South Africa holds its general elections during 2014, which we are certain will lead the way to improved
relations between business, the government and labour. Above all we trust these elections will be
peaceful and will generate positive attitudes for all South Africans.

It has been decided by your Board of directors that no dividend will be payable in the current financial
year. Earnings will be retained and utilised for organic growth and capital requirements.

I wish to thank our entire Board of directors, management and employees for their hard work, and
tremendous effort that they have applied to operations over the past year. I am confident that Danie
and his team will continue to forge ahead on a sustainable growth trajectory and we look forward to
2014 with optimism and quiet resolve.

Chairman

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.Presentation of financial information
  The abridged consolidated Annual Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with
  IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting, International Financial Reporting Standards, the SAICA reporting
  guides as issued by the Accounting Standards Board and the requirements of the Companies Act. The
  annual financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except certain financial
  instruments at fair value, and incorporate the principal accounting policies set out below. They are
  presented in US Dollars.

  1.1  Consolidation
       Basis of consolidation
       The Group Annual Financial Statements incorporates all entities which are controlled by
       the Group.

       At inception the Group Annual Financial Statements had been accounted for under the pooling
       of interest method as acquisition of entities under common control is excluded from IFRS 3. The
       entities had been accounted for at historical carrying values for the period presented.

       Adjustments are made when necessary to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring
       their accounting policies in line with those of the Group.

       All intra-company transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on
       consolidation/combination.

       Non-controlling interests in the net assets of combined subsidiaries are identified and
       recognised separately from the Company's interest therein, and are recognised within
       equity. Losses of subsidiaries attributable to non-controlling interests are allocated to
       the non-controlling interest even if this results in a debit balance being recognised for
       non- controlling interest.

       Transactions which result in changes in ownership levels, where the Company has control of
       the subsidiary, both before and after the transaction, are regarded as equity transactions and
       are recognised directly in the statement of changes in equity.

       The difference between the fair value of consideration paid or received and the movement in
       non-controlling interest for such transactions is recognised in equity attributable to the owners
       of the parent.

       Where a subsidiary is disposed of and a non-controlling shareholding is retained, the
       remaining investment is measured to fair value with the adjustment to fair value recognised in
       profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal of the controlling interest.

  1.2  Property, plant and equipment
       The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset when:
       
       (a) It is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the
           Company; and
       (b) The cost of the item can be measured reliably.

       Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently at cost less any
       accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

       Costs include costs incurred initially to acquire or construct an item of property, plant and
       equipment. Cost associated with equipment upgrades that result in increased capabilities or
       performance enhancements of property and equipment are capitalised. If a replacement part
       is recognised in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment, the carrying
       amount of the replaced part is derecognised.

       Assets under construction will be reclassified to the relevant asset category as soon as it is available
       for use.

       The initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site
       on which it is located is also included in the cost of property, plant and equipment, where the
       Company is obligated to incur such expenditure, and where the obligation arises as a result
       of acquiring the asset or using it for purposes other than the production of inventories.

fluctuations. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to
future events and circumstances. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and
the development of the markets and the industry, in which Master Drilling operates, may differ materially from
those described in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements contained in this document. Because a
variety of factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any
forward-looking statements made in this document by Master Drilling or on Master Drilling's behalf, undue
reliance should not be placed on any of these forward-looking statements. Applicants should specifically
consider the factors identified in this document, which could cause results to differ, before making an
investment decision. Any forward-looking statement in this document reflects the Company's current view with
respect to future events and is subject to risks relating to future events and other risks, uncertainties and
assumptions relating to the Group's operations and growth strategy. Subject to the Listings Requirements,
Master Drilling undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or
circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events. New factors will emerge in the future, and it is not possible for Master Drilling to predict such factors.
In addition, Master Drilling cannot assess the effect of each factor on Master Drilling's business or the extent to
which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those described
in any forward-looking statements.
