Wage agreement reached at Kroondal   

Aquarius Platinum Limited (Aquarius) advises that its wholly owned subsidiary, Aquarius Platinum 
(South Africa) (Proprietary) Limited (“AQPSA”) has reached separate three-year wage agreements 
with the National Union of Mineworkers ("NUM") and Solidarity in relation to their respective 
members employed at Kroondal. The agreements are effective from 1 July 2014, and will be applied 
to all employees within the respective bargaining units at Kroondal. The NUM represents the 
majority of Kroondal’s semi-skilled work force, while Solidarity represents the majority of Kroondal’s 
skilled work force. 

Measured on a cost to company basis the average increase slightly exceeds the increase in the cost 
of living as measured by inflation rate (CPI). 

Aquarius acknowledges with appreciation the critical contribution that the employees of Kroondal 
continue to make to the ongoing safety and operational improvements at the Kroondal mine; the 
leadership shown by the Kroondal mine’s management team during the negotiation process and the 
constructive and mature manner in which the NUM and Solidarity conducted the wage negotiations.   

The successful conclusion of the wage agreements are a significant positive development for the 
company. AQPSA is extremely proud of its workforce which continued to work without interruption 
to maintain its operating performance throughout the negotiation process.
