COST INITIATIVES

� Concentration of Production

� Lower Cost Decline Production

� On-mine Cost Reduction

� Move from deep mining to shallow mining.

• Move from conventional mining to safer, mechanised mining whereappropriate and cost effective.

• Convert current high profile mechanised to low profile mechanised.

• Increase UG2 M2 production at Spud shaft and Declines.

• Extra UG2 to be milled at Ivan plant.

• Mining, Metallurgical, People optimisation.
