SIBANYE AND THE WATERBERG COAL GROUP TERMINATE DISCUSSIONS
Shareholders are referred to the announcement of 17 September 2015, advising that a term
sheet had been signed between Sibanye and the Waterberg Coal Company Limited,
Firestone Energy Limited, Sekoko Resources Proprietary Limited and Sekoko Coal
Proprietary Limited (collectively the “Waterberg Coal Group”).
The key conditions precedent of the term sheet were the completion of a detailed due
diligence investigation and the entering into a set of definitive transaction agreements.
Sibanye wishes to advise shareholders that the parties have been unable to agree on
revised terms post completion of the due diligence and accordingly all discussions have
been terminated.
In addition to the Waterberg Project, and as stated previously, Sibanye is still in the process
of evaluating other potential investment opportunities in the coal sector that would add
commercial value to the Company's energy strategy. However, there are currently no
negotiations that have reached an advanced level of importance or materiality that warrant
an announcement or further disclosure details.
