EXXARO ANNOUNCES PRICING OF ITS UPSIZED OFFERING OF TRONOX SHARES

(Pretoria, 5 October 2017) -- Exxaro Resources Ltd (JSE:EXX) today announced the pricing of its
upsized offering in the United States of 19,500,000 Class A ordinary shares (an increase from the
16,000,000 Class A ordinary shares previously announced) of Tronox Limited (NYSE:TROX), a
NYSE-listed company engaged in the mining, production and marketing of inorganic minerals and
chemicals, at a public offering price of USD 22.00 per share. In addition, Exxaro has granted the
underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,925,000 Class A ordinary shares at
the public offering price.

The expected net proceeds to Exxaro will be approximately USD 412 million (or approximately USD 474
million if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional Class A ordinary shares), after
deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. The offering is expected to close on 10 October
2017, subject to customary closing conditions.

The offering follows Exxaro's previous announcements, including the announcement on 8 March 2017
and 2 October 2017, of its intention to monetise its stake in Tronox.

J.P. Morgan, Barclays and Morgan Stanley are acting as joint book-running managers and underwriters
for the offering.

The offering is being made pursuant to Tronox's effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 initially
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on 2 October 2017 (the "Registration
Statement"). The Class A ordinary shares will be offered by means of a prospectus and accompanying
prospectus supplement forming a part of the Registration Statement. Prospective investors should read
the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, the preliminary prospectus supplement and other
documents that Tronox has filed with the SEC for more information. A final prospectus supplement
relating to the offering will be filed with the SEC. The Registration Statement, the preliminary prospectus
supplement and the documents incorporated by reference therein are available at the SEC's website at
