Pallinghurst continues to benefit from strong manganese prices

Jupiter Mines Ltd (“Jupiter”) has announced a further US$25 million distribution to be made to its shareholders
in September 2017. Pallinghurst, as an 18.43% shareholder in Jupiter, expects to receive a further distribution
of approximately US$5 million in September 2017.

Jupiter is a 49.9% shareholder of the leading manganese producer, Tshipi é Ntle Manganese Mining (Pty) Ltd
(“Tshipi”). The combination of rigorous cost management, positioning Tshipi Borwa in the lowest cost quartile,
with the improvement in the manganese price resulted in Tshipi making its maiden distribution of ZAR1 billion
in March 2017. The manganese price has remained strong over the past few months and accordingly, Tshipi
has recently agreed to distribute a further ZAR500 million to its shareholders in September 2017. This would
result in a total return, in 2017, to Tshipi shareholders of ZAR1.5 billion.

Jupiter distributed US$55 million to its shareholders in March 2017, of which Pallinghurst received US$10
million. Accordingly, in total, Pallinghurst stands to receive US$15 million in 2017 as distributions from its
investment in Jupiter.

The above proposed distributions are subject to there being no material adverse change in market conditions,
including to manganese prices.
