Forward looking StatementsThis Presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbour” provisions of the United States

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements, including, among others, those relating to

Sibanye Gold Limited trading as Sibanye-Stillwater (“Sibanye-Stillwater”)’s and Lonmin Plc (“Lonmin”)’s financial positions, business

strategies, plans and objectives of management for future operations, are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of the

senior management and directors of Sibanye-Stillwater and Lonmin. All statements other than statements of historical facts

included in this Presentation may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements also often use words such as

“anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “estimate”, “expect” and words of similar meaning. By their nature, forward-looking statements

involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances and should be considered in light of various

important factors, including those set forth in this disclaimer. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such

statements. The important factors that could cause Sibanye-Stillwater’s and Lonmin’s actual results, performance or achievements

to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others, economic, business, political and social

conditions in the United Kingdom, South Africa, Zimbabwe and elsewhere; changes in assumptions underlying Sibanye-Stillwater’s

and Lonmin’s estimation of their current mineral reserves and resources; the ability to achieve potential synergies from the Offer; the

ability to achieve anticipated efficiencies and other cost savings in connection with past and future acquisitions, as well as at

existing operations; the success of Sibanye-Stillwater’s and Lonmin’s business strategy, exploration and development activities; the

ability of Sibanye-Stillwater and Lonmin to comply with requirements that they operate in a sustainable manner; changes in the

market price of gold, PGMs and/or uranium; the occurrence of hazards associated with underground and surface gold, PGMs and

uranium mining; the occurrence of labour disruptions and industrial action; the availability, terms and deployment of capital or

credit; changes in relevant government regulations, particularly environmental, tax, health and safety regulations and new

legislation affecting water, mining, mineral rights and business ownership, including any interpretations thereof which may be

subject to dispute; the outcome and consequence of any potential or pending litigation or regulatory proceedings or other

environmental, health and safety issues; power disruptions, constraints and cost increases; supply chain shortages and increases in

the price of production inputs; fluctuations in exchange rates, currency devaluations, inflation and other macro-economic

monetary policies; the occurrence of temporary stoppages of mines for safety incidents and unplanned maintenance; their ability

to hire and retain senior management or sufficient technically skilled employees, as well as their ability to achieve sufficient

representation of historically disadvantaged South Africans’ in management positions; failure of information technology and

communications systems; the adequacy of insurance coverage; any social unrest, sickness or natural or man-made disaster at

informal settlements in the vicinity of some of Sibanye-Stillwater’s operations; and the impact of HIV, tuberculosis and other

contagious diseases. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Presentation. Sibanye-Stillwater and Lonmin

¹ Pro-forma assumes Lonmin is acquired at a net debt neutral position

• Our priority is the deleveraging of our balance sheet

– Current net debt/EBITDA of 2.6x targeting 1.0x in the medium term

– All share consideration for Lonmin will not add debt to the balance sheet

• Anticipated that Lonmin will settle their current debt facilities prior to closing

with own cash

Primary focus on deleveraging – conserving cash

Transaction overview

www.sibanyestillwater.com

• Sibanye-Stillwater to acquire 100%

of Lonmin

• All share consideration:

– Share exchange ratio of 0.967

– At closing prices on 13 December 2017 this equates to a 35% premium

– Based on the 30 day VWAP of Sibanye-Stillwater this values each Lonmin share at 100p or a 41% premium to the Lonmin 30 day VWAP, equates to aggregate value of R5.15 billion (GBP 285 million)

– Lonmin Shareholders will receive approximately 11.3 % of pro-forma market cap

• Subject to various conditions

precedent

• No break or cancellation fee

• Should Sibanye-Stillwater

Lonmin Group currently maintains a net cash position

Persistently low PGM pricing environment and inflationary cost pressures of operating in the South African PGM

industry, have been further exacerbated by internal factors including operational, social and labour issues

Putting ageing Generation One shafts on care and maintenance enables operational costs to be contained

As a result, in excess of 12,000 jobs at Lonmin are potentially at risk over the next three years

Lonmin continuously engages with its workforce to manage and mitigate the risk of job losses

Lonmin’s position in light of the macro-economic headwinds:

The combination of Sibanye-Stillwater and Lonmin creates a leading

South African mine-to-market company

www.sibanyestillwater.com

“ We believe that this Offer is in the best interests of Lonmin, Lonmin

Shareholders and all other stakeholders. Lonmin has an enviable mine to

market business with great mining assets, projects and process

technology and resilient workforce. Despite this, Lonmin continues to be

hamstrung by liquidity concerns. The combination with Sibanye-Stillwater

therefore provides a stronger platform for Lonmin shareholders and other

stakeholders to benefit from the long-term upside potential of an enlarged and geographically diversified Sibanye-Stillwater group. We

therefore unanimously recommend this Offer to our shareholders.” Ben

Magara – Chief Executive Officer

rationale

www.sibanyestillwater.com

• Sibanye-Stillwater anticipates that the transaction is NAV accretive on closing and earnings and cash flow accretive on a per share basis from 2021, once synergies begin to be realised in full and once related one-off costs have been incurred

• Detailed due diligence confirms significant synergies between Sibanye-Stillwater and Lonmin’s contiguous PGM assets

• Acquiring downstream processing business with a replacement value significantly higher than acquisition cost

• Enhanced scale facilitates greater operational flexibility and more effective allocation of capital

• Sizeable PGM Resources with potential upside from advanced brownfield projects and greenfield project pipeline

• Overhead costs (R730m per annum by 2021)

– Corporate office rationalisation (closing

the London office and delisting)

– Regional shared services

– Operational (mining) services

– One-off R80m cost required to achieve

these synergies

• Processing synergies

– Differential cost benefits of R780m by

2021 and an average of approximately

R550 per annum from 2021

– Approximately R1bn of capex required

for the purchase of a new furnace

Quantified synergies 1 Incremental synergy potential 2

• Ability to mine through existing mine boundaries

• Optimal use of surface infrastructure

• Optimising the mining mix

• Prioritisation of projects and new growth capital

• Capital reorganisation in line with new consolidated regional plan

Material synergies with Lonmin operations

Pre-tax synergies of approx. R1.5bn per annum by 2021

Note:

1. For overhead synergies, total savings anticipated when fully implemented in FY21; varies per toll agreement production

2. Synergies which are unquantifiable at this point in time

Average annual pre–tax synergies of approximately R1.3bn from 2021 – ensuring operational viability
