Marula is 73% owned by Implats and is one of the first operations to have been developed on the relatively under-exploited eastern limb of the Bushveld Complex in . It is located in the Province, some 35 kilometres north-west of . In FY2020, the operation delivered 6E in concentrate production of 210 000 ounces. The operation comprises two decline shaft systems and a concentrator plant.

2 GEOLOGY

Marula holds two contiguous mining rights and a prospecting right covering 5 494 hectares across the farms Winaarshoek and Clapham, and portions of the farms Driekop, Forest Hill and Hackney. Marula also has a royalty agreement with Modikwa which allows limited mining on an area adjacent to the Driekop shaft.

Both the Merensky and the underlying UG2 reefs are present and sub-outcrop in the Marula mining right area. The reefs dip generally in a west-southwest direction at 12 to 14 degrees with a vertical separation of some 400 metres between them. Potholes represent the majority of the geographical losses encounted underground, while a small dunite pipe also disrupts the reef horizon.

5 HISTORY

Platinum was first discovered in the area by renowned explorer on the nearby farm Maandagshoek (now Modikwa Platinum) in the 1920s. In June 1998, Implats acquired the Winnaarshoek property from Platexco, a Canadian-based company. The mineral rights to portions of the adjacent farms of Clapham and Forest Hill and a sub-lease to Driekop were subsequently acquired from Anglo Platinum in exchange for Hendriksplaats (part of Modikwa Platinum) so consolidating the Marula mine area. The exploration programme was expanded and some 750 surface boreholes have been drilled to date. The establishment and development of the mine commenced in October 2002.

BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT

Black economic empowerment forms a key component of the Marula operation and our partners together own 27% of the company. Each of the following parties hold a 9% stake in the business: • The Marula Community Trust ensuring sustainable benefit flows to the local community over the life of the mine and beyond; • Tubatse Platinum, a broad-based HDSA empowerment consortium from local business; and • Mmakau Mining, an established mining entity.

Implats, as the largest stakeholder, brings technical, managerial, financial and operational expertise to the mine.
