The Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources are inclusive ofthose Mineral Resources modified to produce Ore Reserves.
Xstrata Alloy's chrome mining operations are all mining thechromitite deposits developed within the world renownedBushveld Complex of South Africa. The 2060Ma year oldBushveld Complex is the largest known deposit of chrome,vanadium and platinum group elements (PGEs) ore in the world.The chrome ore is mined from shallow dipping (10o - 14o) tabularore bodies. Although there are numerous chromitite layersdeveloped in the Bushveld Complex, the layers targeted mostlyfor economic exploitation are the LG6/LG6A Chromitite Layerpackage and the MG1 Chromitite Layer.
No cut-off grades are applied to the chromitite layers currentlybeing mined because of the exceptional regional gradeconsistency and continuity. A minimum mining cut of 1.7m isapplied to the Ore Reserve tonnage because of the mechanizedmining equipment employed by the underground miningoperations.
The chromitite layers are mined mainly underground usingtrackless mechanized mining methods on a board-and-pillar minelay-out design.
The Mineral Resources are estimated as chromitite tonnages andgrades to reflect the grades of the various individual chromititelayers. Both the LG6 and MG1 Chromitite Layers which Xstrata iscurrently mining, is discrete solid chromitite layers.
Changes in the year on year Mineral Resource tonnage and gradeestimates are mainly due to mining depletion and changes due toadditional geological information gained through exploration.Thorncliffe had a net tonnage movement of 0.99Mt due to re-estimation and structural re-interpretation, after mining depletion.Helena had a net tonnage movement of 1.86Mt due to structuralre-interpretation, river boundary correction and re-estimation,after mining depletion. Wonderkop has not been mined and hada net tonnage movement of -1.22Mt due to the re-estimationprocess, correction of the Mining Right boundary, and structurallosses. The Extension 9 Mineral Resource was block modelled forthe first time during 2010 and had a net tonnage movement of -2.34Mt compared to the previous estimation.
The underground Ore Reserves is reported at a minimum miningcut, which is related to the mining method and the miningequipment used. External waste is included to make up theminimum cut where applicable.

Changes in the year on year Ore Reserves tonnage and gradeestimates are mainly due to mining depletion and changes due toadditional geological information gained through exploration.Kroondal Gemini had a net change in Ore Reserves of 1.66Mt dueto Inferred Mineral Resources upgraded to Indicated MineralResources and subsequently modified to Probable Ore Reservesand a revised mining extraction rate, after mining depletion. TheOre Reserves of Marikana West had been declared for the firsttime with the construction of appropriate mine plans. The sameapplies to Horizon Mine. Thorncliffe had a net Ore Reserve
change of 2.80Mt due to the conversion of Inferred MineralResources to Indicated Mineral Resources and subsequentlymodified to Probable Ore Reserves and tonnage movement dueto re-estimation, after mining depletion.
The tonnage and grade estimations are done by geostatisticalanalysis of the exploration drill hole data. This confirms the highdegree of continuity of grade and thickness of the chromititelayers and derives the most appropriate parameters for theconstruction of block models for the various ore-bodies (LG6 andMG1). Block model estimates are verified using geostatisticalparameters such as Kriging Efficiency and others to test thestability of the variograms used and the suitability of the selected
cell sizes. Tonnages and grades are reported from these blockmodels for each mine and project. There is a high degree ofconfidence in the tonnage and grade estimations derived fromthe block models. This is confirmed by the monthly and yearlyreconciliation between the block model estimates and the actualon mine production done for each operating mine.

The Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources are inclusive ofthose Mineral Resources modified to produce Ore Reserves.
Xstrata Alloy's vanadium mining operations are mining thevanadiferous magnetite deposits developed within the BushveldComplex, South Africa. The 2060Ma year old Bushveld Complexis the largest known deposit of chrome, vanadium and platinumgroup elements (PGEs) ore in the world.
The magnetite ore is mined from shallow dipping (6o
25o
)stratified magnetite ore bodies. Various ore zones have beenidentified in the ore-body. The ore zones are defined based ontheir magnetite and vanadium content. The ore zones form thebasis for the estimated Mineral Resources. Portions of the orebody where the magnetite content is less than 15% were notconsidered in the Mineral Resource estimation.
The magnetite ore is mined through opencast mining methods.
Changes in the year on year tonnage and grade estimates aremainly due to mining depletion, re-classification and changes inthe Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve tonnages and grades dueto additional geological information gained through exploration.
There was a net gain of 4.88Mt in the total Mineral Resourceestimate due to the addition of new areas brought about byexploration drilling on strike next to and down-dip of the existingpits, after mining depletion.
The Ore Reserves had a net increased of 6.16Mt due to the
upgrading of Inferred Mineral Resources to Indicated MineralResource and subsequent modification to Probable Ore Reserves,new pit designs for Pit 1 and Pit 6 and new areas being drilled,after mining depletion.
Obsidian Consulting Services has estimated the MineralResources for Pit 1 (previously referred to as Pit 1, 2, 3 and theLeeupen area) and Pit 6 (previously referred to as Pit 4, Pit 6 andPit 6W). An updated structural and grade block model wasconstructed during August and September 2011, followingexploration drilling during the 2010 2011 reporting period.
A&B Global Mining has estimated the Ore Reserves for Pit 1 andPit 6. The Ore Reserve estimation was preceded by an open pitoptimization exercise for Pit 1 and Pit6W. The optimization studywas done to determine the economic pit depths with current
economic input parameters. Newly constructed pit lay-outs andmining schedules were designed within the optimized pit shells.
The tonnage and grade estimations are done by geostatisticalanalysis of the exploration drill hole data during which the mostappropriate parameters are derived for the construction of blockmodels for the various ore zones in Pit 1 and Pit 6. The blockmodel estimates are verified using geostatistical parameters suchas Kriging Efficiency and others to test the stability of thevariograms used and the suitability of the selected cell sizes.Tonnages and grades are reported from the block models foreach ore zone and composited for the various open pits. Thedegree of confidence in the tonnage and grade estimationsderived from the block models is reflected in the classifiedresource classes.

NotesTonnages are quoted as million metric tonnes
Grades are quoted as 3PGE + Au (Platinum, Palladium, Rhodiumand Gold).
The Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources are inclusive ofthose Mineral Resources modified to produce Ore Reserves.
Xstrata Alloy's platinum mining operations are mining theplatinum bearing UG2 Chromitite Layer of the Bushveld Complex,South Africa. The 2060 Ma year old Bushveld Complex is thelargest known deposit of chrome, vanadium and platinum groupelements (PGEs), ore in the world.
The PGM ore at Mototolo Mine is mined from a shallow dipping(10o - 14 o) tabular ore-body referred to as the UG2 ChromititeLayer. The chromitite layer is mined underground using a tracklessmechanized mining method on a board-and-pillar mine lay-outdesign.
The Eland Platinum Mine is mining the UG2 Chromitite Layerdipping at 20 o. Eland Platinum Mine is employing opencastmining methods to extract the ore and is currently in the processof developing two underground decline shafts.
The Eland Ore Reserves were estimated at a minimum mining cutof 2.10m.
Changes in the year on year tonnage and grade estimates aremainly due to mining depletion, reclassification and changes inthe Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve tonnages and grades dueto additional geological information gained through exploration.
The tonnage and grade estimations are done by geostatisticalanalysis of the exploration drill hole data as well as undergroundchannel sample data, where available. This confirms the highdegree of continuity of grade and thickness of the PGM hostinglayers and derives the most appropriate parameters for theconstruction of block models for the various ore-bodies.Tonnages and grades are reported from these block models foreach mine or project. Confidence limit curves are derived fromfitted distributions and used to classify the resources at the 95%confidence level.
Mototolo JVThe structural and grade block model was updated withexploration drillhole data drilled during the 2010 -2011 reportingperiod.
The annual Mineral Resource estimation was conducted byObsidian Consulting Services on behalf of Xstrata Alloys.
The net change in the year on year Mineral Resources is -2.03Mt,due to the re-interpretation of the Mototolo ore-body structure,after mining depletion. The Ore Reserve changed year on year ona net basis after mining depletion due to the reserve footprintmoving, reduced geological losses, an increase in the mining cut,structural re-interpretation and tonnage movement.
Eland Zilkaatsnek and SchietfonteinEland, Zilkaatsnek and Schietfontein are contiguous Mining - andProspecting Right areas, targeting the same ore-body andtogether constituting Eland Platinum Mine.
The current Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimatecontained in this report is based on an updated structural andgrade block model.
The Mineral Resources are constrained by lithological facies. Theunderground Ore Reserves are constrained by a minimum mining
cut of 2.1m with an maximum of 3.5m. The opencast OreReserves are constrained by the lithological contacts of the UG2Chromitite Layer or by a 4m mining cut in the case where theZilkaatsnek facies is developed.
No significant year on year changes in the Mineral Resources wasrecorded. There was a net change in the Ore Reserves of 3.52Mtdue to the increase planned production rate which follow a build-up phase to full steady state production.
Beestkraal ExplorationOne deep core exploration drill hole was completed on theBeestkraal Prospecting Right area. The detailed information wasnot available at the time of going to press.

Xstrata Alloy's silica mining operation is an opencast miningoperation, mining a massive quartzite deposit of theMagaliesberg Formation of the Pretoria Group, Transvaal SuperGroup of South Africa. The Magaliesberg Formation forms aprominent quartzite ridge striking north south along theMagaliesberg Mountain Range. The formation is a few hundred
meters thick and dips towards the east at over 20o
. The Rietvlyquartzite ore body is a very pure quartzite with a silica content ofover 90% SiO2.
The ore is mined through opencast mining methods and the ROM(Run-of-Mine) ore is crushed, washed and sized on site to producea final sized and quality graded product. No silica cut-off gradesare applied to the Mineral Resource estimation. The quartzite ismined mainly to supply the Xstrata Alloys furnaces with silica.
Changes in the year on year tonnage and grade estimates aremainly due to mining depletion, reclassification of the MineralResource categories and changes in the Mineral Resourcetonnages and grades due to additional geological informationgained through exploration.
No significant changes have been recorded in the year-on-yearMineral Resource estimation. The average grade of the deposit
came down by 6% with the analytical results of three coreboreholes drilled through the deposit.

Notes:
Unless otherwise stated, the product yields used to estimateMarketable Reserves were derived from the Resource Mastorsoftware developed by A&B Mylec. Inputs to this model are coalply thickness and dilution. The model includes adjustments forplant efficiencies to calculate practical yields. The model iscalibrated to historical plant performance and, in some cases,includes the closest large diameter borehole data to each miningblock.
Coal Resources are contained within the Sydney Basin (New SouthWales), the Bowen Basin (Queensland) and the Surat Basin(Wandoan, Queensland).
Reserves and Marketable Reserves are quoted on an 'as-received'moisture basis.
Resource tonnes have been reported using an appropriate in situmoisture basis for each deposit, ranging from 3% to 10% in situmoisture excluding Wandoan (12% in situ moisture) and Rolleston(18% in situ moisture).

Notes:
Product yields used to estimate Saleable Reserves were derivedfrom the Limn Model software. Inputs to this model are coal plyand in-seam dilution data, processed in the model. The modeltakes into account plant efficiencies to calculate practical yields.The model is calibrated to historical plant performance and whereapplicable, large diameter borehole data is used.
Valid prospecting rights have been issued for all the undevelopedCoal Resources. Some prospecting rights are being renewed,while application has been made for a number of mining rights.
Coal Resources have been re-estimated in 2011 for inclusion inthis summary table except where otherwise stated. Revision of the
totals include changes to classifications of Resource status due toexploration, geological reinterpretation and remodelling, andchanges to lease holdings.
Coal Resources qualities are reported at an air dried moisturebasis and Coal Reserves are reported at a net as receivedmoisture basis.
The Resources and Reserves for the Mpumalanga Complex havebeen removed from the report due to an agreement having beenentered into to sell the operations and resource areas.
Completion of sale is subject to government approval. Areasincluded in the Mpumalanga agreement are: Spitzkop, Tselentis,Consbrey, Mooifontein, Sterkfontein, Bloemfontein and SaraBuffels.

Notes:(a) Ernest Henry Open Cut: The Open Cut Ore Reserve and
Mineral Resource were depleted by 17Mt of ore @ 1.0% Cu,0.5 g/t Au due to mining from the Open Cut since end June2010, with mining of the Open Cut fully depleting Reservesand Resources by December 2011. Open Cut Ore Reserveand Mineral Resource estimates were based on an OrdinaryKriged block model. Mineral Resource classification wasbased on geostatistical analysis of data, combined withstructural and geological interpretation. A cut-off grade of
0.27% Cu was applied.
(b) Ernest Henry Underground: Copper and gold mineralisationoccurred in a breccia comprised of strongly altered andreplaced intermediate volcanic fragments in a matrixassemblage of predominantly magnetite, chalcopyrite andcarbonate. Copper occurs as chalcopyrite and gold wasstrongly associated with chalcopyrite. The Mineral Resourceestimate is based on a copper equivalent cut-off of 1.15%(CuEq = Cu % + 0.52 x Au g/t). Estimates are derived froman Ordinary Kriged block model after the application ofgeostatistical analysis of data combined with structural andgeological interpretation. The Underground MineralResource includes all material outside the final mined pit tothe base of current drill testing. The Mineral Resource has
been depleted by 1.0Mt by mining from 31/6/10 to31/12/11, including 0.4Mt of material previously classifiedoutside resource. This update to the Underground OreReserve is still based on the Feasibility Study, which isestimated from applying underground mining methods to amining shape derived from the Mineral Resource. The miningmethod is a combination of blasting ore remaining in wallsabove the final pit floor and sub-level caving below the pitfloor from RL1625 to RL1200. Dilution and ore losses havebeen factored into the Ore Reserve utilising flow baseddilution modelling. Material changes to the Ore Reserve as at31 December 2011 include depletion from first productionand ore body development (1.0Mt), extensions of oreboundaries from increased ore body knowledge, andadjustments to flow modelling estimations totalling 3.8Mt.
Metallurgical testing has confirmed the processingperformance expected from the mineralisation includingmagnetite contained within the mining shape. There is nooverlap between the Underground and Open Pit MineralResources and Ore Reserves.
