FATALITY ANNOUNCED AT BAKUBUNG PLATINUM MINE

The Management of Wesizwe Platinum Ltd regret to announce a fatality
that occurred at its Bakubung Platinum Mine project on 9 April 2014,
when a contractor working as a Stage Hand was fatally injured whilst
working on the sinking stage.

From the preliminary investigation carried out following this
incident, he fell approximately 15 meters from the sinking stage
fourth deck to the shaft bottom. At the time of the incident the
stage crew was in the process of raising the stage in preparation
for the end of shift blast.

Work on the shaft sinking operations of the Main and Ventilation
shafts at the Bakubung Platinum Mine site have been temporarily
stopped pending the outcome of a full investigation and subsequent
presentation to the office of the Principal Inspector of Mines of
the Department of Mineral Resources.

The fatally injured contractor was 50 years old, a citizen of
Mozambique and had 6 months of service with the contracting company
working at Bakubung Platinum Mine. He was a family man and leaves a
wife and two children. Condolences have been sent by the Management
team of Bakubung Platinum Mine on behalf of Wesizwe Platinum Ltd to
the family of the deceased.
