WESTONARIA 17 December 2015: Sibanye Gold Limited ("Sibanye" or the "Group") presents the pro forma financial effects of the acquisitions of
Bathopele, Siphumelele (including Khomanani) and Thembelani (including Khuseleka) mining operations (collectively the "Rustenburg Operations")_adjusted
for the post balance sheet announcement of the proposed Aquarius Platinum Limited ("Aquarius") acquisition as referred to in Annexure 3 Section C of the
Circular to Sibanye shareholders dated 15 December 2015.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL EFFECTS

The pro forma financial effects illustrate the impact of the acquisition of the Rustenburg Operations and the post balance sheet announcement of the
proposed Aquarius acquisition (collectively the "Transactions") on the Earnings Per Share ("EPS"), diluted EPS, Headline EPS ("HEPS"), diluted HEPS, Net
Asset Value ("NAV") per share and tangible NAV ("TNAV") per share of Sibanye for the six months ended 30 June 2015.

The pro forma financial information is presented in accordance with the provisions of the JSE Listings Requirements and the Guide on Pro Forma Financial
Information issued by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants.

The pro forma financial effects have been prepared by management of Sibanye and are the responsibility of the board of directors of Sibanye.

The pro forma financial effects are presented in a manner consistent with the basis on which the historical financial information of Sibanye has been
presented and in terms of Sibanye's accounting policies for the financial year ended 31 December 2014. The pro forma financial effects have been
presented for illustrative purposes only and, because of their nature, may not give a fair reflection of Sibanye's financial position, changes in equity or results
of operations post implementation of the Transactions.

It has been assumed for purposes of the pro forma financial effects that the Transactions took place with effect from 1 January 2015 for the income
statement and on 30 June 2015 for the statement of financial position.

The pro forma financial information relating to the Transactions have been prepared based on the following assumptions:
- The R1.5 billion Upfront Purchase Price of the Rustenburg Operations transaction is discharged in cash by raising a loan, refer to Section C1 of  this announcement.
  
- The R1.5 billion Upfront Purchase Price of the Rustenburg Operations transaction is discharged through the allotment and issue by Sibanye
  Consideration Shares to Rustenburg Platinum Mines Proprietary Limited ("RPM") in the share capital of Sibanye, refer to Section C2 of this

Note
  a. The "Before the Transactions" financial information is based on Sibanye's reviewed condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30
     June 2015.
  b. The "Rustenburg Operations' results" column has been adjusted to include the income and expenditure relating to the Rustenburg Operations for the six months ended
     30 June 2015. Royalties have been reclassified from cost of sales to a separate line item in line with Sibanye's reporting principles.
  c. Cost of sales has been adjusted to include the additional depreciation relating to property, plant and equipment for the six month period, arising on the allocation of the
     purchase consideration in terms of IFRS 3 Business Combinations ("IFRS 3").
  d. Finance expense has been adjusted for additional finance costs of R67.9 million relating to raising the loan to settle the Upfront Purchase Price and R76.9 million
     relating to the unwinding of the Deferred Purchase Price.
  e. Share-based payments has been adjusted for the IFRS 2 Share-based Payment ("IFRS 2") expense relating to the sale of 26% of Sibanye Rustenburg Platinum Mines
     Proprietary Limited on loan to the BBBEE Stakeholders. 85% of dividends will be utilised to repay the loan and interest, capped at R3.5 billion and a 15% trickle dividend
     will be paid to the BBBEE Stakeholders. The IFRS 2 expense has been limited to the 30.77% interest relating to the Bakgatla-Ba-Kgafela Investment Holdings,
     assuming the Rustenburg Mine Community Development Trust and Rustenburg Mine Employees Trust will be controlled by Sibanye. The 30.77% interest has been
     valued using the cash flows as contained in the Competent Persons Report.
  f. Transaction costs directly attributable to the Rustenburg Operations transaction, amounting to R62.7 million has been recognised in profit or loss. This adjustment will
     not have a continuing impact.
  g. Gain on bargain purchase recognised in the income statement represents the excess of the net asset value of the acquisition over the Purchase Price. The preliminary
     purchase price allocation has been based on the expected cash flows contained in the Competent Persons Report with an appropriate adjustment due to deferred
     taxation.
  h. Mining and income tax has been adjusted to include taxation of R19.0 million on the finance expense relating to raising a loan to settle the Upfront Purchase Price and
     R2.8 million on the additional depreciation relating to the fair value adjustment of property, plant and equipment in accordance with IFRS 3.
  i. The "Aquarius' results" column has been adjusted to include the published income and expenditure relating to Aquarius for the six months ended 30 June 2015. The
     income and expenditure has been extracted from the preliminary full year results which includes the results for the six months ended 30 June 2015. The results for the
     six months ended 30 June 2015 have not been audited or reviewed by Aquarius' Reporting Accountants and has been used in order to be coterminous with the results
     of Sibanye and the Rustenburg Operations. The reporting currency of Aquarius is US dollars and the results of Aquarius have been translated using an average
     exchange rate of R11.89/US$. Royalties of R1.9 million have been reclassified from cost of sales to a separate line item and a R157.7 million foreign currency
     translation reserve recycled on disposal has been reclassified to profit on disposal of operations in line with Sibanye's reporting principles.
  j. Finance expense has been adjusted for additional finance costs relating to raising of a US$294 million loan to settle the Aquarius purchase consideration at an interest
     rate of LIBOR plus 3% being applied. This adjustment will have a continuing impact on Sibanye's consolidated income statement.
  k. Loss on foreign exchange differences has been adjusted for foreign exchange movements on the loan raised to settle the Aquarius purchase consideration. This
     adjustment will have a continuing impact.
  l. Transaction costs directly attributable to the Aquarius transaction, amounting to R74.8 million have been recognised in profit or loss. This adjustment will not have a
     continuing impact.
  m. Gain on bargain purchase recognised in the income statement represents the excess of the net asset value of the acquisition over the Aquarius purchase price.
     Management has used the best information available to determine the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Aquarius in terms of IFRS 3 to
     calculate the gain on bargain purchase. This adjustment will not have a continuing impact.

  a. The "Before the Transactions" financial information is based on Sibanye's reviewed condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30
     June 2015.
  b. The "Rustenburg Operations' results" column has been adjusted to include the Rustenburg Operations interim historical combined financial information for the six
     months ended 30 June 2015. VAT of R58.2 million and deferred taxation of R984.8 million have been adjusted as the Rustenburg Operations does not constitute a
     separate legal entity, and the related tax assets and liabilities will remain with the legal entity, RPM.
  c. Property, plant and equipment, deferred taxation and environmental rehabilitation obligation have been adjusted to take into account the IFRS 3 fair value adjustments
     as follows:
     1. R475.2 million fair value adjustment of property, plant and equipment;
     2. R2 092.5 million deferred taxation liability recognised on acquisition; and
     3. R296.6 million adjustment to the environmental rehabilitation obligation. The environmental rehabilitation obligation assumed is calculated based on the weighted
     average cost of capital in terms of IFRS 3 for acquisition purposes.
  d. Transaction costs directly attributable to the Rustenburg Operations transaction, amounting to R62.7 million is assumed to be paid.
  e. Other reserves has been adjusted for the IFRS 2 share-based payment of R219.5 million relating to the BBBEE Transaction and the elimination of the at acquisition
     reserves of the Rustenburg Operations. Accumulated loss has been adjusted for the gain on bargain purchase of R4 712.4 million, transaction costs of R62.7 million
     and IFRS 2 share-based payment of R219.5 million.
  f. Borrowings has been adjusted for raising of the loan to settle the Upfront Purchase Price of R1.5 billion.
  g. Long-term and current portion of long-term financial obligation includes the estimated Deferred Purchase Price, which is based on 35% of the expected distributable free
     cash flows generated by the Rustenburg Operations with a discount rate of 9.1% being applied. In addition a contingent purchase receivable was recognised relating to
     the guaranteed estimated negative free cash flows.
  h. The "Aquarius' results" column has been adjusted to include the assets and liabilities of Aquarius as at 30 June 2015. The assets and liabilities have been extracted
     from the audited annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 and translated using the rate at 30 June 2015 of R12.17/US$.
  i. Transaction costs directly attributable to the Aquarius transaction, amounting to R74.8 million is assumed to be paid.
  j. Equity attributable to owners of the parent has been adjusted for the elimination of the at acquisition reserves of Aquarius. Accumulated loss has been adjusted for the
     gain on bargain purchase of R173.5 million and transaction costs of R74.8 million. The purchase consideration for the issued shares of Aquarius is based on an offer
     price of US$0.195 per share translated using an exchange rate of R14.04/US$. This exchange rate is an approximation of the current ruling exchange rate and is
     indicative of the best estimate of the purchase price. Management has used the best information available to determine the fair value of the assets acquired and
     liabilities assumed of Aquarius in terms of IFRS 3 to calculate the gain on bargain purchase.
  k. Borrowings has been adjusted for raising of the US$294 million loan to settle the Aquarius purchase consideration translated using a rate of R14.04/US$. This exchange
     rate is an approximation of the current ruling exchange rate and is indicative of the best estimate of raising of the loan to settle the Aquarius purchase consideration.

Notes:    
  a. The "Before the Transactions" financial information is based on Sibanye's reviewed condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30
     June 2015.
  b. The "Rustenburg Operations' results" column has been adjusted to include the income and expenditure relating to the Rustenburg Operations for the six months ended
     30 June 2015. Royalties have been reclassified from cost of sales to a separate line item in line with Sibanye's reporting principles.
  c. Cost of sales has been adjusted to include the additional depreciation relating to property, plant and equipment for the six month period, arising on the allocation of the
     purchase consideration in terms of IFRS 3 Business Combinations ("IFRS 3").
  d. Finance expense has been adjusted for additional finance costs of R76.9 million relating to the unwinding of the Deferred Purchase Price.
  e. Share-based payments has been adjusted for the IFRS 2 Share-based Payment ("IFRS 2") expense relating to the sale of 26% of Sibanye Rustenburg Platinum Mines
     Proprietary Limited on loan to the BBBEE Stakeholders. 85% of dividends will be utilised to repay the loan and interest, capped at R3.5 billion and a 15% trickle dividend
     will be paid to the BBBEE Stakeholders. The IFRS 2 expense has been limited to the 30.77% interest relating to the Bakgatla-Ba-Kgafela Investment Holdings,
     assuming the Rustenburg Mine Community Development Trust and Rustenburg Mine Employees Trust will be controlled by Sibanye. The 30.77% interest has been
     valued using the cash flows as contained in the Competent Persons Report.
  f. Transaction costs directly attributable to the Rustenburg Operations transaction, amounting to R62.7 million has been recognised in profit or loss. This adjustment will
     not have a continuing impact.
  g. Gain on bargain purchase recognised in the income statement represents the excess of the net asset value of the acquisition over the Purchase Price. The preliminary
     purchase price allocation has been based on the expected cash flows contained in the Competent Persons Report with an appropriate adjustment due to deferred
     taxation.
  h. Mining and income tax has been adjusted to include taxation of R2.8 million on the additional depreciation relating to the fair value adjustment of property, plant and
     equipment in accordance with IFRS 3.
  i. Stated share capital has been adjusted for 71 599 045 new ordinary shares in the share capital of Sibanye issued for cash to settle the Upfront Purchase Price of R1.5
     billion.
  j. The "Aquarius' results" column has been adjusted to include the published income and expenditure relating to Aquarius for the six months ended 30 June 2015. The
     income and expenditure has been extracted from the preliminary full year results which includes the results for the six months ended 30 June 2015. The results for the
     six months ended 30 June 2015 have not been audited or reviewed by Aquarius' Reporting Accountants and has been used in order to be coterminous with the results
     of Sibanye and the Rustenburg Operations. The reporting currency of Aquarius is US dollars and the results of Aquarius have been translated using an average
     exchange rate of R11.89/US$. Royalties of R1.9 million have been reclassified from cost of sales to a separate line item and a R157.7 million foreign currency translation
     reserve recycled on disposal has been reclassified to profit on disposal of operations in line with Sibanye's reporting principles.
  k. Finance expense has been adjusted for additional finance costs relating to raising of a US$294 million loan to settle the Aquarius purchase consideration at an interest
     rate of LIBOR plus 3% being applied. This adjustment will have a continuing impact on Sibanye's consolidated income statement.
  l. Loss on foreign exchange differences has been adjusted for foreign exchange movements on the loan raised to settle the Aquarius purchase consideration. This
     adjustment will have a continuing impact.
  m. Transaction costs directly attributable to the Aquarius transaction, amounting to R74.8 million have been recognised in profit or loss. This adjustment will not have a
     continuing impact.
  n. Gain on bargain purchase recognised in the income statement represents the excess of the net asset value of the acquisition over the Aquarius purchase price.
     Management has used the best information available to determine the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Aquarius in terms of IFRS 3 to
     calculate the gain on bargain purchase. This adjustment will not have a continuing impact.

Notes
  a. The "Before the Transactions" financial information is based on Sibanye's reviewed condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30
     June 2015.
  b. The "Rustenburg Operations' results" column has been adjusted to include the Rustenburg Operations interim historical combined financial information for the six
     months ended 30 June 2015. VAT of R58.2 million and deferred taxation of R984.8 million have been adjusted as the Rustenburg Operations does not constitute a
     separate legal entity, and the related tax assets and liabilities will remain with the legal entity, RPM.
  c. Property, plant and equipment, deferred taxation and environmental rehabilitation obligation have been adjusted to take into account the IFRS 3 fair value adjustments
     as follows:
     1. R475.2 million fair value adjustment of property, plant and equipment;
     2. R2 092.5 million deferred taxation liability recognised on acquisition; and
     3. R296.6 million adjustment to the environmental rehabilitation obligation. The environmental rehabilitation obligation assumed is calculated based on the weighted
     average cost of capital in terms of IFRS 3 for acquisition purposes.
  d. Transaction costs directly attributable to the Rustenburg Operations transaction, amounting to R62.7 million is assumed to be paid.
  e. Stated share capital has been adjusted for 71 599 045 new ordinary shares in the share capital of Sibanye issued for cash to settle the Upfront Purchase Price of R1.5
     billion. Other reserves has been adjusted for the IFRS 2 share-based payment of R219.5 million relating to the BBBEE Transaction and the elimination of the at
     acquisition reserves of the Rustenburg Operations. Accumulated loss has been adjusted for the gain on bargain purchase of R4 712.4 million, transaction costs of R62.7
     million and IFRS 2 share-based payment of R219.5 million.
  f. Long-term and current portion of long-term financial obligation includes the estimated Deferred Payment, which is based on 35% of the expected distributable free cash
     flows generated by the Rustenburg Operations with a discount rate of 9.1% being applied. In addition a contingent purchase receivable was recognised relating to the
     guaranteed estimated negative free cash flows.
  g. The "Aquarius' results" column has been adjusted to include the assets and liabilities of Aquarius as at 30 June 2015. The assets and liabilities have been extracted
     from the audited annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015 and translated using the rate at 30 June 2015 of R12.17/US$.
  h. Transaction costs directly attributable to the Aquarius transaction, amounting to R74.8 million is assumed to be paid.
  i. Equity attributable to owners of the parent has been adjusted for the elimination of the at acquisition reserves of Aquarius. Accumulated loss has been adjusted for the
     gain on bargain purchase of R173.5 million and transaction costs of R74.8 million. The purchase consideration for the entire issued shares of Aquarius is based on an
     offer price of US$0.195 per share translated using an exchange rate of R14.04/US$. This exchange rate is an approximation of the current ruling exchange rate and is
     indicative of the best estimate of the purchase price. Management has used the best information available to determine the fair value of the assets acquired and
     liabilities assumed of Aquarius in terms of IFRS 3 to calculate the gain on bargain purchase.
  j. Borrowings has been adjusted for raising of the US$294 million loan to settle the Aquarius purchase consideration translated using a rate of R14.04/US$. This exchange
     rate is an approximation of the current ruling exchange rate and is indicative of the best estimate of raising of the loan to settle the Aquarius purchase consideration.
