PGM ProjectsOnly 50% of PGM’s project reserves commissioned since 2007.

• Today project advancement is fairly diverse geographically:

– South Africa>= 48% of project reserves,

– North America>= 23%

– Russia>=30%.

• Overall, global projects require $14.3 billion in capital

expenditure to bring 185 moz of PGM reserves into

production before 2030.

• South African projects account for $6.3 billion, to commission

production from up to 60 moz of reserves.

Investment Highlights

New mine development

Wesizwe’s Bakubung

Platinum Mine will access

one of the last remaining

sizeable and viable

Merensky and UG2 PGM

ore bodies.

At steady state

production, the mine will

produce 420,000koz 4E

per year of Platinum

Group Metals.

Main commissioning of

the mine is scheduled for

2017, with full production

in 2021.

Sound financial backing

Wesizwe Platinum

secured a US$650 million

funding facility from the

China Development Bank

(CDB).

The first drawdown from

this facility in the amount

of US$100 million was

made on 6 January 2014.

Based on current project

projections, this funding

facility will cover all

funding requirements until

shafts are commissioned.
