MBILA - OPPORTUNITY

PG 8

SAMREC resource of 89Mt GTIS, 97% in Measured and Indicated with target seam resource of 20Mt – 60Mt

• 2 anthracite formations, ECCA and Beaufort:

– Ecca - ultra low phosphorous products – Beaufort - low phosphorous product

• Both products ideal for domestic mineral sands, ferrochrome and ferromanganese markets

• Significant shortfall exists in South African market; short and long term opportunity for Mbila

• High quality metallurgical coal to generate premium pricing (estimates of US$140 – US$180 per tonne at mine gate)

KANGWANE LOCATION & RAIL - IDEAL FOR EXPORT

Page 13: Zyl%20 %20 investor%20presentation%20-%20november%202011%20(s-tedits1)1

PG 13

KANGWANE CENTRAL – EXPORT FOCUS

JORC Compliant Resources of 114Mt including a Measured Resource of 21.4Mt

Open Pittable Resource of 60.79Mt at a stripping ratio up to 5 : 1

Initial feasibility results in Q4 2011 with the focus on production from open pit operations (indicative 2.1 Mt per annum ROM)

Approximately 100km from Maputo Port by direct rail link, with existing rail siding. Road, power and water all located nearby

Siyanda Resources (BEE partner) has extensive experience in South African coal mining; currently operating two mines and previous owners of the Koornfontein Coal Mine

High quality metallurgical coal has the potential to generate premium pricing (estimates of US$100 - US$120 per tonne at mine gate)

KANGWANE CENTRAL - CURRENT JORC RESOURCES

Coal Resource Estimate Statement (JORC and SAMREC compliant)for Kangwane Central (gross tonnes in situ – GTIS)

Total Measured Coal Resource (GTIS) 21.4 Mt

Total Indicated Coal Resource (GTIS) 25.5 Mt

Total Inferred Coal Resource (GTIS) 67.2 Mt

Total JORC compliant Coal Resources at Kangwane Central Anthracite 114.1 Mt

Exploration Target 1 of 350Mt to 450Mt at an expected calorific value range of 6,635 kcal to 6,712 kcal ideal for export markets

1 The potential quantity and grade of the above Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

Washed coal specifications based on exploration to date

*These are the average specifications based on the drilling and washability analysis conducted during 2011. It does not suggest that Kangwane’s product will ultimately be a 20% or 16% ash content product. The final targeted ash content will be dictated by market demand and economics.

KANGWANE SOUTHERN – COMPLEMENTARY EXPORT FOCUS

Conceptual Exploration Target of 90Mt - 190Mt at an expected calorific value range of 19MJ/kg to 28MJ/kg¹ (5,250kcal to 6,680kcal) unwashed

Approximately 25km to the South and considered highly complementary to Kangwane Central; potential to share services and infrastructure

Close proximity to port, water, electricity, roads and rail; approximately 130km by rail to Maputo Port in Mozambique with existing rail siding

Mining Right Application (MRA) submitted

Anthracite qualities expected to be similar to Kangwane Central

1The potential quantity and grade of this exploration target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource on the property and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in discovery of further Mineral Resources on the property.
