CEO Rob Lowe, said, “The appointment is in line with our execution strategy to appoint contractors
with good track records and strong balance sheets and thereby reduce the Company’s exposure to
operating risks inherent in a self-operated mine. This appointment is another important step towards
validating the Base Case Financial Model and the financial close of our debt funding arrangements.
This brings us one step closer towards the development of the Boikarabelo Mine”.
Project Funding
The Company advised the market on 8 August 2016 that it had agreed commercial terms with a
Financing Syndicate for the development of the Boikarabelo Mine subject to a number of Conditions
Precedent. The Company is currently attending to satisfying the Conditions Precedent.
The Financing Syndicate convened a series of due diligence presentations and a visit to the
Boikarabelo Mine during the week of 29 August 2016. The outcome of the presentations and site
visit were satisfactory and no serious flaws were identified.
A full report on progress will be delivered to a meeting of the board scheduled for in the first week of
October 2016. That meeting was originally scheduled for 25 August 2016, but was postponed in
order to allow management sufficient time to progress and report on the status of the Conditions
Precedent and funding generally. The Board will provide an update to shareholders in the week
following this meeting.
Other Matters - Annual General Meeting
The Board has agreed to hold the Annual General Meeting at 10am on Wednesday 23 November
