Southernmost exposure of Eastern Limb of the
Bushveld Complex
Hans Merensky explored and excavated adits
during 1920s
JCI drilled exploration holes between 1981 and
1999
Anglo Platinum embarked on major exploration
and evaluation campaign in April 2001
BACKGROUND
9. World Leader in Platinum Facility Visit March 2003
Current Campaign:
GEOLOGY
Drilled 221 holes (plus deflections,)
111 kilometres
Ground mapping (outcrop and structure),
aerial photography, aeromagnetic survey –
structural mapping and modeling
Mapping to date of 1000m of old Merensky
adits
Resource modeling and estimation
10. World Leader in Platinum Facility Visit March 2003
RESOURCE
World class resource over 25 km on strike x
8 km on dip
Both Merensky and UG2 reefs, dipping 9O to
west
Favourable prill split : UG2: average 54% Pt
Resource statements updated in annual report
11. World Leader in Platinum Facility Visit March 2003
Phase 1: Der Brochen Mine – UG2 reef
commencing end 2006
Mine layout and stoping method as per Modikwa
and Twickenham
Phase 2: Booysendal Mine – UG2 reef
commencing end 2007
Booysendal mine layout in conjunction with
JV partner
MINING STRATEGY
12. World Leader in Platinum Facility Visit March 2003
Bill seeks participation in new mining projects through
HDSA companies, as well as social plans /
commitments by mining companies
Negotiations with government resulted in split of:
Der Brochen Mine (north) - 100% Anglo Platinum
Booysendal Mine (south) - 50% Anglo Platinum
- 50% HDSA company
Currently negotiating with HDSA company to
establish JV

Focus on sustainable development
Creation of approximately 5000 direct jobs in a
relatively depressed area
Training and development on-mine and at new
Anglo Platinum Eastern Bushveld facilities
Strengthening of social infrastructure in local
towns (Jane Furse, Steelpoort, Burgersfort,
Martenshoop, Lydenburg)
Local SME development and utilisation targets
SOCIAL IMPACT
15. World Leader in Platinum Facility Visit March 2003
World class resource
Completion of feasibility study and board approval
during 2003
Output commences end 2006
Unique opportunity to develop model operations
with a HDSA partner in an economically depressed
and environmentally sensitive area
Sound governance through Anglo Platinum, in
liaison with national government, regional and local
authorities
