The effect of the update of the chrome mineral resource statement reflects a significant increase in
the Rooderand chrome resource. The above mineral resource estimate is based on all currently
available information. Further work on the mineral resource estimate is currently underway and
accordingly, adjustments to the resource estimation, especially for PGE minerals, is expected.
Independent Valuation
It is expected that the aforesaid significant increase in the company's chrome resource will result in
a significant increase in the valuation of the company's Rooderand asset. The company is in the
process of engaging with an independent valuation expert regarding the update of the valuation of
the Rooderand assets. Shareholders will be advised through further announcements regarding the
outcome of this process.
