WC replacement and expansion plan

Why?

Kilns are old (average 40 years) but well-maintained and still produce good quality cement however much less energy efficient

Impact of new environmental legislation (from 2015) will require significant capex investment

To align WC capacity with future market demand

“Brown fields” preferred to “green fields” approach:Deliver the same capacity and energy efficiencyLower capital cost spread over a longer periodReduced environmental impact

Capacity (increase of ±50%)

De Hoek: replacement (phase 1) and expansion (phase 3)

Riebeeck: replacement with some expansion (phase 2)

13

WC replacement and expansion plan (continued)

3 phases, including Riebeeck and De Hoek

Phase 1 – A new clinker cooler, coal firing system and bag filter for

De Hoek kiln 6Capex R 280m - Currently in progress to be completed early 2012

Phase 2 – New kiln 3 and upgrading of kiln feed and cement milling capacity

at RiebeeckCapex R 1,300m – Commencing 2012 to be completed 2016

Phase 3 – Further increased capacity and energy efficiency of

De Hoek kiln 6 by installing a pre-calciner

Capex R 1,400m – Commencing 2016 to be completed 2018

Other advantages of this plan?

Can expedite or delay phase 3 to match market demand

Optimal utilisation of limestone resources

Each phase will be discussed in more detail at the respective factories

Introduction to De Hoek factory

History

Limestone discovered in 1919 by the Hermon Piquetberg Lime Company

Cape Portland Cement started production of cement in 1923

In 1983 name changed to PPC

Integrated cement factory

Products – Surebuild and Rapo in bag/bulk dispatched by road and rail

Capacity to produce 1.2mtpa of cement using2 kilns – DHK5 (1974) and DHK6 (1980)2 cement mills2 rotary packers each capable of 2900 bags per hour2 automated cement bag palletisers

On-site limestone reserves for more than 30 years

Coal from Saldanha (230km) and Limpopo province (1800km) by rail

All other raw materials locally sourced

Raw meal feed to the kiln:

~90% limestone Source of calcium carbonate

~10% other (shale, sand, iron)

~1.5 ton raw meal =» 1 ton clinker

Calcination process

Calcium carbonate + heat =» calcium oxide + carbon dioxide

CaCO3 + 1400oC heat =» CaO + CO2

~1.5 tons + 1400oC heat =» 1 ton clinker + 500kg CO2 *

Approximately half of CO2 produced in the clinker process is derived from the dissociation limestone, not from burning coal

* Excludes CO2 from coal and electricity used in the process

Clinker is finely ground with gypsum (to control the setting time of cement)

Extended cements contain extender materials, such as limestone, fly ash or slag

24

De Hoek upgrade and expansion plan

Phase 1 (De Hoek kiln 6)

Currently in progress and due for completion in early 2012

Kiln shell and inlet seal replacement

New grate type clinker cooler

Indirect coal firing conversion and installation of a modern kiln burner

New bag filter for kiln exhaust gas

Advantages

New shell = improved kiln uniformity and refractory life

Rapid cooling of clinker improves grindability and handling

Multi-channel burner = burning of alternative/waste fuels

Improved kiln thermal efficiency = lower fuel consumption and higher output

Increased coal mill capacity = use of lower grade coal

Reduced kiln dust emissions

Enables future capacity expansion (Phase 3)

25

De Hoek upgrade and expansion plan (continued)

Indirect firing system Kiln shell

replacement

Planetary coolers replaced with grate cooler

26

De Hoek upgrade and expansion plan (continued)

Phase 3 (De Hoek kiln6)

Timing of this phase is flexible and will be aligned with market demand as it develops

Main features will include the installation of a kiln pre-calciner and the upgrade of kiln feed, coal milling and other ancillary equipment to cater for the increased kiln6 capacity

Advantages

Will result in a significant thermal efficiency (coal) improvement

Will increase De Hoek kiln 6 output by 100%Resulting in ~1.3mtpa* modernised cement capacity

Overall De Hoek factory capacity will increase to ±1.8mtpa

De Hoek Kiln6 will be upgraded to world-class technology

Together with new Riebeeck kiln 3 will produce the base requirement for WC

De Hoek kiln 5 will become the “swing unit” for the WC

*Current estimate and may vary according to final design and equipment specifications
