NOTES TO THE REVIEWED CONDENSED GROUP INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   CORPORATE BACKGROUND          
     Exxaro, a public company incorporated in South Africa, is a diversified resources group with interests in the coal 
     (controlled and non-controlled), TiO2 and Alkali chemicals (non-controlled), ferrous (controlled and non-controlled) and 
     energy (non-controlled) markets. These reviewed condensed group interim financial statements as at and for the 
     six-month period ended 30 June 2017 comprise the company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the group) 
     and the group's interest in associates and joint ventures.          

2.   BASIS OF PREPARATION          
2.1  Statement of compliance          
     The reviewed condensed group interim financial statements as at and for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017 have 
     been prepared in accordance with IFRS, IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as 
     issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards 
     Council and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.          

     The reviewed condensed group interim financial statements as at and for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017 have 
     been prepared under the supervision of PA Koppeschaar CA(SA), SAICA registration number: 00038621.          

     The reviewed condensed group interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the group annual 
     financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2016, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS 
     as issued by the IASB. The reviewed condensed group interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical 
     cost basis, excluding financial instruments and biological assets, which are at fair value.          
 
     The reviewed condensed group interim financial statements of Exxaro and its subsidiaries as at and for the six-month 
     period ended 30 June 2017 were authorised for issue by the board of directors on 15 August 2017.          

2.2  Judgements and estimates          
     In preparing these reviewed condensed group interim financial statements, management made judgements, estimates and 
     assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income 
     and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgements made by management in applying 
     the group's accounting policies and the key source of estimation uncertainty were similar to those applied to the group 
     annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2016.          

3.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES          
     The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the reviewed condensed group interim financial statements are 
     consistent with those followed in the preparation of the group annual financial statements as at and for the year 
     ended 31 December 2016. A number of new or amended standards became effective for the current reporting period. 
     However, the group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of 
     adopting these standards. Additional disclosures required under the amended IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows have not 
     been provided by the group as it is not required for condensed group interim financial statements. The group will 
     disclose the additional information in the group annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.          
 
     Taxes on income in the interim period are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total 
     annual profit or loss.
  
     New accounting standards and amendments issued to accounting standards and interpretations which are relevant to
     the group, but not yet effective on 30 June 2017, have not been adopted. The group continuously evaluates the impact 
     of these standards and amendments. In summary the following are the current expectations in relation to IFRS 9 
     Financial Instruments, IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 16 Leases.          
               
     IFRS 9          
     The group has decided not to adopt IFRS 9 until it becomes mandatory on 1 January 2018.          
     The actual impact of adopting IFRS 9 on the group's financial statements in 2018 is not known and cannot be reliably 
     estimated because it is dependent on the financial instruments that the group holds and economic conditions at that 
     time as well as accounting elections and judgements which the group will make in the future. The new standard will 
     require the group to revise its accounting processes and internal controls related to reporting financial instruments 
     and these changes are not yet complete.            

     However, the group has performed a preliminary assessment of the potential impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 based 
     on its position at 30 June 2017.            

     Based on its preliminary assessment, the group does not believe that the new classification requirements, if they had 
     been applied at 30 June 2017, would have had a material impact on its accounting for trade receivables, loans and 
     investments in equity securities that are managed on a fair value basis. At 30 June 2017, the group had equity investments 
     classified as available-for-sale with a fair value of R177 million. If these investments continue to be held for the same 
     purpose at initial application of IFRS 9, then the group may elect to classify them as at fair value through other 
     comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss. The group has not yet made a decision in this regard. In the 
     former case, all fair value gains and losses would be reported in other comprehensive income, no impairment losses 
     would be recognised in profit or loss and no gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal. 
     In the latter case, all fair value gains and losses would be recognised in profit or loss as they arise, increasing 
     volatility in the group's profits.            

     The group has embarked on the process of determining the impact that the new impairment model, on the basis of expected 
     credit losses, will have on the impairment provisions. As part of this process the group will finalise the impairment 
     methodologies that it will apply under IFRS 9.            

     Disclosure requirements and changes in presentation are expected to change the nature and extent of the group's 
     disclosures about its financial instruments particularly in the year of the adoption of the new standard. The group 
     is in the process of identifying changes to systems and controls which will be necessary to capture the required data.            

     IFRS 15          
     The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Exxaro assessed significant contracts 
     with customers in line with the IFRS 15 five-step model. While the group is still considering the impact, no material 
     impact is expected on the measurement and timing of revenue recognition.          

     The group must still take a decision on the transition method to be applied as well as the practical expedients to be 
     used, if elected.          
     
     IFRS 16          
     The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early adoption is permitted provided 
     that IFRS 15 is adopted at or before the date of initial application of IFRS 16. The group made progress on the initial 
     assessment of the potential impact of this standard on the group's financial statements but has not yet reached a 
     conclusion if this standard will be early adopted with the implementation of IFRS 15. This initial assessment included 
     the identification of material lease transactions within the group. The group must still make a decision on the 
     transition method to be applied as well as the practical expedients to be used, if elected.          
                   
4.   SEGMENTAL INFORMATION          
     Operating segments are reported on in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating 
     decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the reportable operating 
     segments. The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the group executive committee. Segments reported 
     are based on the group's different products and operations.          

     The corporate transactions during 2016 necessitated a change in the segmental reporting structures and the manner in 
     which operating results are reported to the chief operating decision-maker. Changes to segmental reporting which 
     resulted in the re-presentation of comparative periods' segmental information, included:          
     - the iron ore operating segment is now included within the other operating segment which forms part of the 
       other reportable segment;       
     - an energy segment was added as an additional reportable segment.          

     The re-presentation resulted in five reportable operating segments compared to the four reportable operating 
     segments in prior periods.          

     Total operating segment revenue, which excludes VAT, represents the gross value of goods invoiced, services rendered 
     and includes operating revenues directly and reasonably allocatable to the segments. Segment net operating profit or 
     loss equals segment revenue less segment expenses, impairment charges, plus impairment reversals. Segment operating 
     expenses, assets and liabilities represent direct or reasonably allocatable operating expenses, assets and liabilities.          

     The reportable operating segments, as described below, offer different products and services, and are managed 
     separately based on commodity, location and support function grouping. The group executive committee reviews internal 
     management reports on these divisions at least quarterly.          

     Coal          
     The coal operations are mainly situated in the Waterberg and Mpumalanga regions and are split between coal commercial 
     operations and coal tied operations. Coal commercial operations include a 50% (30 June 2016: 50%; 31 December 2016: 50%) 
     investment in Mafube (a joint venture with Anglo), as well as a 10,82% (30 June 2016: 10,82%; 31 December 2016: 10,82%) 
     effective equity interest in RBCT. The coal operations produce thermal coal, metallurgical coal and SSCC.          

     Ferrous          
     The ferrous segment comprises a 20,62% (30 June 2016: 19,98%; 31 December 2016: 20,62%) equity interest in SIOC 
     (located in the Northern Cape province) reported within the other ferrous operating segment as well as the FerroAlloys 
     operations (referred to as Alloys).          

     TiO2 and Alkali chemicals          
     Exxaro holds a 42,97% (30 June 2016: 43,71%; 31 December 2016: 43,66%) equity interest in Tronox Limited and a 26% 
     (30 June 2016: 26%; 31 December 2016: 26%) equity interest in Tronox SA (both South African-based operations), as well 
     as a 26% (30 June 2016: 26%; 31 December 2016: 26%) member's interest in Tronox UK.          

     Energy          
     The energy segment comprises a 50% (30 June 2016: 50%; 31 December 2016: 50%) investment in Cennergi (a South African 
     joint venture with Tata Power Company Limited) which operates two windfarms.        

     Other          
     This reportable segment comprises the 26% (30 June 2016: 26%; 31 December 2016: 26%) equity interest in Black 
     Mountain (located in the Northern Cape province), an effective investment of 11,7% (30 June 2016: 11,7%; 
     31 December 2016: 11,7%) in Chifeng (located in the PRC), the Mayoko iron ore project (and related subsidiaries) 
     which was classified as a discontinued operation in 2016 and sold on 23 September 2016, as well as the corporate 
     office which renders services to operations and other customers.          

     The following table presents a summary of the group's segmental information:                 
                                                                                         TiO2 and

     1 The loan granted to Cennergi in 2016 is interest free, unsecured and repayable on termination date in 2026, unless

14.  NON-CURRENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD-FOR-SALE   
     Moranbah coal project                              
     Exxaro holds a 50% interest in the Moranbah coal project joint operation with Anglo American Metallurgical Coal Proprietary 
     Limited reported within the coal commercial operating segment which forms part of the coal reportable segment. The project 
     is based in Queensland, Australia.                                                                          

     As part of Exxaro's strategic decision to focus on its current pipeline of South African coal projects and due to the size 
     of the project, the group's executive committee approved a divestment plan for this asset. The sale will be managed through 
     a controlled market tender process, envisaged to be concluded towards the end of 2017.                                

     The Moranbah coal project does not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation since it does not represent 
     a separate major line of business, nor does it represent a major geographical area of operation.                                                
                                             
     EMJV                                    
     Exxaro concluded the purchase of ECC in 2015, and as part of this acquisition Exxaro acquired non-current liabilities 
     held-for-sale relating to the EMJV. The sale of the EMJV is conditional on section 11 approval required in terms of the MPRDA 
     for transfer of the new-order mining right to the new owners, Scinta Energy Proprietary Limited, as well as section 43(2) approval 
     for the transfer of environmental liabilities and responsibilities. The EMJV remains a non-current liability held-for-sale for 
     the Exxaro group on 30 June 2017 as the required approvals are still pending.                               

     The EMJV does not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation since it does not represent a separate major 
     line of business, nor does it represent a major geographical area of operation.

     The land and buildings situated at corporate centre were classified as a non-current asset held-for-sale on 31 December 2015. 
     The sale was subject to the fulfilment of suspensive conditions which were not met and the sales agreement subsequently lapsed.                                                                          

     A new agreement was entered into with a property consortium in June 2016. These agreements have been amended and finalised 
     during May 2017. All conditions precedent to this sale agreement have not yet been met. The land and buildings situated at 
     corporate centre remains classified as a non-current asset held-for-sale on 30 June 2017.

     based on JIBAR plus a margin of 1,95%. The effective interest rate for the transaction costs was 0,13% for the R480 million

18.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS                                                                   
18.1 Carrying amounts and fair values                                                                                                   
     Due to the short-term nature of the current financial assets and current financial liabilities, the carrying amount is 
     assumed to be the same as the fair value. For the non-current financial assets and non-current financial liabilities, 
     the fair value is also equivalent to the carrying amounts.                                                        

18.2 Fair value hierarchy                                                                                                               
     The table below analyses recurring fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities. These fair 
     value measurements are categorised into different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs to the 
     valuation techniques used. The different levels are defined as follows:                                                        
     Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the group can access at 
               the measurement date.                                                        
     Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either 
               directly or indirectly.                                                        
     Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset and liability.                                                              
                                                                                      Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total

     The group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as at the end of the reporting period during 
     which the transfer has occurred. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 nor between Level 2 and Level 3 
     of the fair value hierarchy during the periods ended 30 June 2017, 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2016, as shown in 
     the reconciliation above.                                                        

     Valuation process applied by the group                                                      
     The fair value computations of the investments are performed by the group's corporate finance department, reporting to 
     the finance director, on a six-monthly basis. The valuation reports are discussed with the chief operating decision-maker 
     and the audit committee in accordance with the group's reporting governance.                          

     Current derivative financial instruments                                                     
     Level 2 fair values for simple over-the-counter derivative financial instruments are based on market quotes. These quotes 
     are assessed for reasonability by discounting estimated future cash flows using the market rate for similar instruments 
     at measurement date.                                                        

18.3 Valuation techniques used in the determination of fair values within Level 3 of the hierarchy, as well as significant inputs 
     used in the valuation models                                                        

     Chifeng                    
     Chifeng is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as there is no quoted market price or observable price 
     available for this investment. This unlisted investment is valued as the present value of the estimated future cash flows, 
     using a discounted cash flow model. The valuation technique is consistent to that used in previous reporting periods.           

     The significant observable and unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the investment in Chifeng are 
     rand/RMB exchange rate, RMB/US$ exchange rate, zinc LME price, production volumes, operational costs and the discount rate.

     The potential undiscounted amount of all deferred future payments that the group could be required to make under the ECC 
     acquisition is between nil and US$120 million. The amount of future payments is dependent on the API4 coal price.

     The amount to be paid in each of the five years is determined as follows (refer table above):                                  
     - If the average API4 price in the reference year is below the minimum API4 price of the agreed range, then no payment 
       will be made                                                                           
     - If the average API4 price falls within the range, then the amount to be paid is determined based on a formula 
       contained in the agreement                                                                           
     - If the average API4 price is above the maximum API4 price of the range, then Exxaro is liable for the full amount 
       due for that reference year.                                                                           

     An additional payment to Total S.A. amounting to R74 million was required for the 2016 reference year as the API4 
     price was within the agreed range. No additional payment to Total S.A. was required for the 2015 reference year as 
     the API4 price was below the range.                                                                           

     The contingent consideration is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as there is no quoted market price 
     or observable price available for this financial instrument. This financial instrument is valued as the present value 
     of the estimated future cash flows, using a discounted cash flow model.                         

     The significant observable and unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of this financial instrument 
     are rand/US$ exchange rate, API4 export price and the discount rate.

     1 Operational guarantees include guarantees to banks and other institutions in the normal course of business from 
       which it is anticipated that no material liabilities will arise.                                                           
     2 Pending litigation and other claims consist of legal cases as well as tax disputes with Exxaro as defendant. The outcome 
       of these claims is uncertain and the amount of possible legal obligations that may be incurred can only be estimated 
       at date of reporting.                                                           
     3 Mainly operational guarantees issued by financial institutions relating to environmental rehabilitation and closure cost.

     SARS                                     
     On 18 January 2016, Exxaro received a letter of intent from SARS following an international income tax audit for the 
     2009 to 2013 years of assessment. According to the letter, SARS proposed that certain international Exxaro companies would 
     be subject to South African Income Tax under Section 9D of the Income Tax Act. Assessments to the amount of R442 million 
     were issued on 30 March 2016 and Exxaro formally objected against these assessments. SARS partially allowed Exxaro's 
     objection but R234 million remained due. Exxaro appealed against the portion not allowed and an alternative dispute 
     resolution hearing with SARS is scheduled for 22 August 2017.               

     These assessments have been considered in consultation with external tax and legal advisers and senior counsel. 
     Exxaro believes this matter has been treated appropriately by disclosing a contingent liability.                      

     Financial provision for prospecting, exploration, mining and production operations                                   
     On 20 November 2015 the FPR were promulgated by the Minister of Environmental Affairs for South Africa as replacement 
     of financial provisioning and rehabilitation legislation contained in the MPRDA and the NEMA. The FPR will change the 
     requirements for making financial provision for the management, rehabilitation and remediation of environmental  
     impacts arising from mining operations. The FPR are currently valid and in force after interaction between the DEA, 
     stakeholders and industry on 26 October 2016. The submission of the first financial provision reporting to the DMR 
     according to the FPR has been extended to February 2019.                                                           

     Following promulgation of the FPR, the DEA met with various stakeholders who sought clarification on a number of issues. 
     A final stakeholder meeting was held on 10 February 2017 after which an amended version of the regulations would have been 
     gazetted for public comment. This amended version was expected in March 2017 but has not yet been issued at reporting date.    

     Although the FPR are currently valid and in force, Exxaro is not yet able to determine a reliable estimate of the impact 
     that the new regulations will have on Exxaro's environmental rehabilitation liability until the clarification awaited 
     from the DEA is issued. Therefore the environmental rehabilitation liability, operational guarantees and the rehabilitation 
     trust fund have been accounted for in accordance with the requirements of the MPRDA and the NEMA.

     Based on the latest results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017, the latest board approved budget for 2017, 
     as well as the available bank facilities and cash generating capability, Exxaro satisfies the criteria of a going concern.

     Details of the interim dividend are provided in note 9.           

     Exxaro is still exploring alternatives for the monetisation of its shareholding in Tronox through an efficient 
     staged sales approach.                                                           

     On 2 August 2017, Tronox Limited announced the signing of a definitive agreement with Genesis Energy L.P. for the sale 
     of its Alkali chemicals business for US$1,325 billion in cash. When the sale is concluded, Tronox is expected to realise 
     a loss of approximately US$200 million during 2H17. Based on the shareholding and exchange rate as at 30 June 2017, 
     Exxaro's share of the expected loss is approximately R1,118 billion.                                                             

     The directors are not aware of any other significant matter or circumstance arising after the reporting period up to the 
     date of this report, not otherwise dealt with in this report.

COMMENTARY 
for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017

Comments below are based on a comparison between the six-month periods ended 30 June 2017 and 2016 (1H17 and 1H16), respectively. 
      
1.       SAFETY                                                                            
         During the first half of 2017 Exxaro recorded an LTIFR of 0,16 (1H16: 0,08) against a target of 0,11.  
         Regrettably, an employee at Matla Mine 2 in Mpumalanga, Mr Sibongiseni Sihle Majozi, was fatally injured on 
         1 March 2017 following an underground accident. Exxaro continues to strive for a consistent, fatality-free 
         environment and continuously improves all aspects of safety for all employees. Exxaro remains committed to the 
         Zero Harm Vision. Efforts to reduce incidents through the safety improvement plans are under way.
                                                       
2.       ROBUST FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE                           
         Exxaro delivered a strong performance for 1H17, achieving a net operating profit of R2 910 million, up 35% from 
         R2 159 million recorded in 1H16. This was mainly driven by increased revenue coupled with only a 1% increase in operating 
         expenses. The income from equity-accounted investments increased to R1 125 million (1H16: R9 million equity-accounted loss), 
         primarily due to R492 million improvement from SIOC as a result of a recovery in iron ore export selling prices, as well 
         as a decrease of R635 million in losses recorded from our investments in Tronox.                  
                                                                                 
3.       COMPARABILITY OF RESULTS                
         The corporate transactions during 2016 necessitated a change in the segmental reporting structures and the manner in 
         which operating results are reported. Changes to segmental reporting, which resulted in the re-presentation of comparative 
         periods' segmental information. Refer note 4 to the reviewed condensed group interim financial statements.                                                           
                                                                                                   
         The key transactions shown in table 1 below should be taken into account to gain a better understanding of the 
         comparability of the results for the two periods.

5.       FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL RESULTS
5.1.     Group financial results
5.1.1.   Revenue and net operating profit
         Group revenue increased by 10% to R10 736 million (1H16: R9 762 million), while group net operating profit increased 
         by 35% to R2 910 million (1H16: R2 159 million), mainly due to a higher contribution from the coal operations driven 
         by improved coal sales prices as well as higher Eskom commercial volumes at Grootegeluk (GG) based on demand from the 
         Medupi Power Station. The average price per tonne achieved on exports was US$65 (1H16: US$42). This was offset by a 
         stronger average spot exchange rate of R13,20 to the US dollar recorded for the period ended 30 June 2017 (1H16: R15,39) 
         and lower export and domestic volumes. 

         Group operating expenses of R7 826 million for 1H17 remained almost flat compared to 1H16 as a result of the ongoing
         Exxaro improvement project (EIP) to reduce costs and improve efficiencies.

         However, the 1H17 group's net operating profit was negatively impacted by:
         - R37 million loss on the fair value adjustment (1H16: R38 million gain) relating to the contingent consideration
           which arose on the acquisition of ECC
         - R75 million loss (1H16: R29 million loss) on dilution of our shareholding in Tronox Limited
         - R27 million write-off of the receivables associated with the Mayoko iron ore project.

5.1.2.   Earnings
         Earnings, which include Exxaro's equity-accounted investments in associates and joint ventures, were R2 692 million
         (1H16: R1 285 million) or 852 cents per share (1H16: 362 cents per share).

         Headline earnings were 154% higher at R2 787 million (1H16: R1 096 million) or 882 cents per share (1H16: 309 cents
         per share).

5.1.3.   Cash flow and funding
         Cash flow generated by operations increased by R1 477 million to R3 660 million (1H16: R2 183 million) and was
         sufficient to cover capital expenditure of R1 314 million, dividends paid of R1 284 million, net financing charges of 
         R273 million and tax of R575 million.

         In January 2017, Exxaro repurchased 43 943 744 ordinary shares from Main Street 333 for a consideration of 
         R3 524 million. Main Street 333 used a portion of the proceeds to settle a loan and accrued interest of 
         R484 million with Exxaro, which was advanced to Main Street 333 in July 2015.

         Total capital expenditure for 1H17 increased by 12% or R142 million when compared to the corresponding period last
         year, consisting of a R112 million increase in expenditure on sustaining and environmental capital (stay-in-business
         capital) and R30 million on new capacity (expansion capital).

         Dividends of R59 million were received from our investment in Tronox Limited (1H16: R233 million). SIOC has declared a
         dividend to its shareholders in July 2017, Exxaro's share amounting to R1 390 million. The dividend will be accounted 
         for in 2H17.
 
5.1.4.   Debt exposure
         Net debt at 30 June 2017 was R4 349 million compared to R2 278 million at 30 June 2016. This equates to a net debt
         to equity ratio of 12% (1H16: 6,5%), well below Exxaro's internal target of 40%. 

         In January 2017, the specific repurchase by Exxaro of Exxaro ordinary shares to the value of R3 524 million from
         Main Street 333, was effected using cash generated from Exxaro's own operations. The repurchase consideration was 
         funded with available contributed tax capital and the remaining portion from reserves.

         Exxaro's balance sheet structure remains strong despite the increase in the net debt.

         Domestic trading conditions were favourable in 1H17 as producers experienced strong demand for higher quality
         product. The metals and reductants markets also recovered well, amidst increasing international commodity prices, 
         specifically ferrochrome. 

         Despite an oversupplied coal export market, Exxaro experienced consistent demand. Export volumes in 1H17 dropped 
         by 17% to 3,4Mt compared to 1H16 mainly due to congestion at RBCT, which experienced adverse weather conditions.

         The average API4 price for 1H17 was US$79, up from the US$53 for the corresponding period in 2016.

5.2.1.   Production and sales volumes
         Overall coal production volumes (excluding buy-ins and semi-coke) increased by 2% or 491kt compared to 1H16. 
         This increase can be attributed mainly to the higher production volumes at GG in line with Addendum 9 to the 
         Medupi Coal Supply Agreement. Sales were 2% lower (422kt) as a result of lower exports.

5.2.1.1. Metallurgical coal
         GG's metallurgical coal production was 99kt (10%) higher mainly due to the ramp-up of GG plant 10 (GG10) in 1H17.
         Sales decreased by 172kt (23%), mainly due to reduced offtake by ArcelorMittal as certain coke batteries are 
         not yet operational.

5.2.1.2. Thermal coal
         Tied mines
         Power station coal production from the tied mines was 424kt (11%) lower compared to 1H16, due to the shortwall stop
         at Matla Mine 3 from December 2016 to May 2017 and unfavourable geological conditions.

         Commercial mines
         The commercial mines' power station coal production increased by 932kt (8%) compared to 1H16 mainly due to:
         - Increased production at the GG plants (GG7 and GG8) of 1 068kt (11%)
         - Increased production at Leeuwpan of 76kt (6%) as a result of higher production in the crush and screen plant.
         This increase was offset by:
         - Lower production at NBC's Blesbok pit of 212kt (15%) due to lower coal exposure, longer hauling distances and high
           rainfall. 

         Domestic power station coal sales for the commercial mines were 176kt (2%) higher mainly as a result of:
         - An increase of 909kt (10%) in line with Addendum 9 to the Medupi Coal Supply Agreement. 
         This increase was partly offset by:
         - Lower sales at Leeuwpan of 416kt (100%) where the Eskom supply was terminated at the end of March 2016 and is now
           sold in the local and export markets
         - Lower NBC sales of 317kt (21%) due to lower production. The extension of the NBC Eskom Coal Supply Agreement was
           completed mid-June 2017.

         Steam coal production decreased by 116kt (3%) mainly as a result of:
         - Lower production at ECC 165kt (8%) at Dorstfontein East due to community unrest and excessive rainfall and
           Forzando South due to lower yields and geological conditions
         - Lower production at Leeuwpan of 44kt as a result of lower production through the Dense Medium Separation (DMS)
           plant.
         The lower production was partly offset by:
         - Higher production at NBC's Eerstelingsfontein pit of 54kt (68%) due to good coal and equipment availability
         - Slightly higher buy-ins from Mafube JV of 20kt (2%) due to the inclusion of product previously sold to Eskom and
           briquettes 
         - Higher production at GG of 19kt (2%) as a result of production through the new GG10 beneficiation plant. 

         Domestic steam sales increased by 682kt (37%) mainly as a result of:
         - Higher sales at Leeuwpan of 627kt (83%) due to higher demand and stock availability arising from Eskom product
           placed in the local market after the termination of the contract
         - Higher sales at ECC of 158kt (84%)
         - Higher sales at NBC of 61kt (94%).
         The increase in sales was partly offset by:
         - Lower sales at GG of 152kt (18%) due to lower stock available from the GG4 and GG5 plants
         - Lower steam coal export sales of 421kt (13%) mainly due to congestion experienced at RBCT as a result of adverse
           weather conditions.

         The semi-coke production increased by 45kt mainly due to the plant shutdown in 1H16 as a result of depressed market
         conditions in the ferrochrome industry. Sales were 35kt higher due to higher demand and more stable market conditions.

5.2.2.   Revenue and net operating profit
         Coal revenue of R10 670 million was 10% higher than 1H16 (R9 718 million). Higher revenue from the commercial mines
         was attributable to the higher selling prices as well as an increase in Eskom volumes. This was partially offset by
         exports and domestic sales. 

         Increased net operating profit of R3 014 million compared to R2 232 million in 1H16, mainly due to:
         - Higher sales prices (+R1 543 million)
         - Scope changes of environmental provisions (+R171 million)
         - Volume variances (+R162 million)
         - Capitalisation of project related costs (+R102 million).
         Partly offset by: 
         - Exchange rate variance due to stronger local currency against the US dollar (-R293 million)
         - Inflation (-R277 million)
         - Disposal of SDCT shareholding in 1H16 (-R203 million)
         - Higher depreciation (-R112 million)
         - Mafube coal buy-ins from Mafube JV (-R111 million).

5.3.     Titanium dioxide and Alkali chemicals
         Equity-accounted investment
         Equity-accounted losses from the Tronox investments decreased from R930 million in 1H16 to R295 million for 1H17,
         mainly due to increased pigment selling volumes and prices, as well as a more favourable product mix.

         As previously communicated to the market, Exxaro is exploring alternatives for the monetisation of its shareholding
         in Tronox Limited through an efficient and staged sales process. This process is likely to commence in 2H17.

5.4.     Energy business
         Equity-accounted investment
         Cennergi, a 50% joint venture with Tata Power, recorded an equity-accounted loss of R11 million for 1H17 (1H16:
         profit of R37 million). The variance of R48 million is mainly due to the cessation of the capitalisation of interest  
         in 2H16 and the inclusion of deemed revenue of R32 million in 1H16, which was reversed in 2H16 as a result of delays 
         with the grid connection. The two windfarm projects were brought into commercial operation during the 3Q16.

6.       PERFORMANCE AGAINST NEW BBBEE CODES AND MINING CHARTER
         Exxaro has been audited against the amended codes. The primary focus area to raise the BBBEE level is Enterprise and
         Supplier Development (ESD). Exxaro has constituted an ESD forum to specifically lift the company's performance in this
         area. We anticipate significant positive socio-economic impacts from the impending ESD initiatives.

         Exxaro, through the Chamber of Mines, participated with the mining industry to provide inputs to the DMR to revise
         the mining charter elements and targets. Exxaro supports the strategic intention of transforming the mining industry. 
         The Mining Charter III was gazetted on 15 June 2017 and subsequently suspended by the DMR Minister pending an urgent 
         court interdict submitted by the Chamber of Mines. 

         Exxaro is analysing the impact of the Mining Charter III on the organisation and will continue to engage through the
         Chamber of Mines and through other appropriate channels with the DMR to address its concerns and submit new 
         transformation targets and content proposals for the Mining Charter III.

7.       BROAD BASED BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
         On 17 January 2017, Exxaro concluded the repurchase of shares transaction pursuant to the unwinding of the existing
         BEE transaction (refer paragraph 5.1.4). On 25 June 2017 Exxaro, Main Street 333, and the Industrial Development 
         Corporation (IDC) agreed on the formation of a special purpose vehicle, incorporated for the purpose of holding  
         ordinary shares in Exxaro pursuant to the replacement BEE transaction, entered into the following agreements:
         - A framework agreement setting out the framework within which the Main Street 333 unwind and the consequential
           implementation of the replacement BEE transaction will take place
         - A relationship agreement detailing the terms and restrictions of the replacement BEE transaction over the
           transaction term.
             
         The implementation of the replacement BEE transaction remains subject to various conditions precedent, which include
         the finalisation and agreement of the remaining suite of agreements required to implement the replacement BEE
         transaction and the Main Street 333 unwind. 

         It is expected that Exxaro will seek shareholder approval in 2H17 for the replacement BEE transaction.

8.       MPOWER 2012
         Exxaro implemented Mpower 2012, an employee share ownership plan, in July 2012 which held a shareholding of 0,8% in
         Exxaro. The shares held by Mpower 2012 vested on 31 May 2017 and were sold, upon the instructions of the participants, 
         during June 2017 and paid to employees in July 2017. The distribution to participants varied depending on their years 
         of service. Employees that participated for the full term received a pre-tax benefit of R43 384, consisting of 
         R8 399 of dividends over the five-year period and R34 985 of proceeds when the shares were sold.

9.       MINERAL RESOURCES AND mineral RESERVES
         Other than the normal life of mine depletion, there have been no material changes to the mineral resources and
         reserves as disclosed in the 2016 integrated report.

10.      MINING AND PROSPECTING RIGHTS
         The Waterberg area remains an exciting mining prospect for Exxaro as the Thabametsi project has now started early
         works, and the Thabametsi Coal IPP, operated by Marubeni Middle-East & Africa Power Limited, has embarked on its licensing
         processes with financial close envisaged in 2Q18. Exxaro also holds a 100% ownership in the Waterberg North and South
         prospecting rights areas. The project areas consist of four prospecting rights for which applications for renewals were
         submitted and the first two were granted last year and executed in March 2017. For the last two rights, granting is still
         pending. Exxaro has a reasonable expectation that the remaining renewals will be granted in 2017.

         The Leeuwpan mining right consolidation (to include Leeuwpan extension) and mining right registration were finalised
         in March 2017. The mining right registrations of Matla, Arnot, Forzando South and Glisa (at the NBC operation) are
         pending. Exxaro has a reasonable expectation that registrations will be concluded during 2017. 

11.      OUTLOOK
         Exxaro expects that 2H17 domestic thermal volumes will remain at current levels. Volumes in the metals markets will
         reduce based on expected lower offtake from ArcelorMittal. This is expected to persist until 2Q18.

         Export markets are still reliant on demand from India for lower quality coal. However, Exxaro is actively
         diversifying its markets for lower quality coal in order not be overly dependent on the Indian market. 
         Pricing is expected to remain relatively flat. Growth is expected from the South-East Asian markets
         for RB1 and RB3 material.

         Exxaro has a positive outlook for the coal business in 2H17 based on:
         - Stable trading conditions in domestic markets
         - Stable international coal prices
         - Our operational excellence process delivering further results
         - Technology and innovation improvements.

         The rand exchange rate against the US dollar is expected to remain volatile during 2H17 due to the combination of
         significant event risks and volatility in the US dollar.

         The performance of the investment portfolio (SIOC and Tronox) is expected to be positively influenced by the current
