CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENTB E DavisonExecutive ChairmanDespite lower dollarprices in <strong>2001</strong>, headlineearnings still rose torecord levels ofR8,0 billion.Dear shareholder,Looking back at the five years ended December<strong>2001</strong>, I am gratified to see that annualattributable profit grew at a compound annualgrowth rate of nearly 87%, representinga superior return to shareholders. Over thatsame five-year period, market capitalisationrose from a little over R8 billion to a little underR100 billion. It has since risen further to passthe R100 billion mark, a milestone that reflectsa massive increase in shareholder wealth.The future holds further promise: there remainanother four years of production growth beforewe reach our 2006 target of 3,5 million annualounces of platinum; markets continue to bebuoyant as demand for these remarkablemetals waxes ever stronger; and the competitiveedges that have been developed within yourCompany, and which continue to be reinforced,will help us widen our lead as the world’snumber one platinum organisation.FINANCIAL RESULTSEARNINGS PERFORMANCEIn last year’s statement, Mr Leslie Boyd, <strong>Anglo</strong><strong>Platinum</strong>’s previous Chairman, stated thatshould platinum group metal (PGM) prices andthe exchange rate remain at the then currentlevels, earnings for <strong>2001</strong> would show a significantimprovement. Despite lower dollar prices in <strong>2001</strong>,headline earnings still rose to record levels ofR8,0 billion, 18,0% up on the previous year.The average platinum price during <strong>2001</strong>was US$526/oz, 3,3% lower than in 2000.It dropped steadily in the second half of the yearbut nevertheless exhibited stable behaviourwhen contrasted to the average palladium price,which although falling only 13,8% in <strong>2001</strong> toUS$582/oz, traded in a remarkably wide range,from US$1 094 (January <strong>2001</strong>) to US$315/oz(October <strong>2001</strong>). The average rhodium pricewas 12,8% lower in <strong>2001</strong> at US$1 610/oz.A marked weakening of the rand during thecourse of <strong>2001</strong>, particularly towards the end ofthe year, more than compensated for loweraverage dollar metal prices. On average, therand was 24,6% weaker in <strong>2001</strong> at R8,62/US$and the year-end level was R11,96/US$.Overall, these factors led to a 4,4% year-on-yearincrease in the net sales revenue per ounce ofplatinum sold. This price performance thencombined with a substantial increase in PGMsales volumes to result in net sales revenuerising 15,1% to R17,9 billion.The cost of sales rose 23,8% to R8,3 billion.This rise was on the back of an expansion ofrefined and sales volumes of PGMs followingamuch-improved operational performance.PGMs refined rose almost 13% and steady-stateoperations limited the escalation in theircash costs per ounce of PGM to just over4%, well below the inflation rate. Giventhe pressures of above-inflation wageincreases, this is an impressiveaccomplishment and reflects theoperations’ successful tacklingof productivity and efficiency issues.Profit before taxation rose 25,2%, whiletaxation rose 46,9% to R4,3 billion.The increase in the average rate of taxation,from 29,8% to 34,9%, is almost entirely due tothe secondary taxation associated with thespecial dividend declared in <strong>2001</strong>. Since aspecial dividend was also declared in 2002,shareholders should expect the taxation rate toremain high in the current financial year.CASH RESERVESNet cash flow from operating activities roseR2,0 billion to R10,0 billion, which was offsetby R3,1 billion of net investing activities (mostlycapital expenditure), dividend payments ofR6,1 billion and share repurchases of a furtherR1,2 billion, so that cash and cash equivalentsdeclined over the year by R336 million, toR5,8 billion.4


CAPITAL EXPENDITUREThe expansion programme continuedapace during the year: R2,5 billionof capital expenditure was incurredand R1,8 billion was contractuallycommitted by year-end in pursuitof the 2006 production targetof 3,5 million annual ouncesof platinum. These amountsare in line with the expansionprogramme. Capitalexpenditure to maintainoperations also rose steeplyto R1,1 billion, whichincluded expenditure to ensure that assets areable to meet the very significant productionchallenges that lie ahead.SHARE REPURCHASESDuring the second half of <strong>2001</strong>, and in linewith the resolution passed by shareholders atlast year’s Annual General Meeting, 3 901 667shares were repurchased in open markettransactions at an average cost of R306 pershare, of which 2 228 267 shares werecancelled. The balance of 1 673 400 shares areheld in a wholly-owned subsidiary. Issuedshares were in this way reduced to 215 769 272at 31 December <strong>2001</strong>. It is the Board’sintention to continue with the sharerepurchase programme if and when valueaddingopportunities are present.DIVIDENDSThe Group has accumulated large cash reservesdespite the expansion capital programme, highdividend payments and the share repurchasescheme. The potential for lower PGM prices islikely to be accompanied by further weakeningof the rand against the US dollar. Cash flowsare anticipated to remain substantial and, withthe possibility of a limited net debt position,adequate to fund the Group’s growth.The Board therefore declared a final cashdividend of 1 100 cents (2000: 1 100 cents)per ordinary share and, in addition, a 500 cent(2000: 600 cents) special dividend, bringingtotal dividends to 2 700 cents per share for theyear (2000: 2 410 cents), an increase of 12,0%.OPERATIONSSAFETY<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’s Zero Tolerance Initiative(now Zero Tolerance Target Zero: OTTO)launched in 1999 continued during the periodunder review, the focus being on hazardidentification, risk assessment, safe operating5


Chairman’s Statement (continued)procedures and training. Complementing OTTOcertification is targeted for end-2004. Of all thethe scale of this human tragedy and theis the roll-out across the Group of a behaviour-environmental interventions currently beingwork that remains to combat it, not just650600550500450400350300Average monthlymarket prices(<strong>Platinum</strong> US$/oz)9798990001based initiative, which focuses on unsafe acts,the primary cause of more than 90% ofincidents. It is pleasing to report that steadyimprovements were made: the fatal injuryfrequency rate dropped from 0,04 to 0,03 andthe lost-time injury frequency rate fell from 3,8to 2,5 per 200 000 man hours during <strong>2001</strong>.Much work remains to achieve the target of afatality-free <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>; it is with deep regretthat I report 22 fatalities at the operations during<strong>2001</strong>, compared with 23 in 2000 and my sympathiesare extended to the bereaved. Each fatalaccident is met with heartfelt sorrow at the deathof a fellow employee and management’s resolveto stamp out unsafe practices and conditionsand facilitate safe behaviour remains steadfast.SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTThe definition of sustainable development isvariously interpreted. The ability of society tomeet its needs today without compromising theability of future generations to provide for theirown needs underpins <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’s effortsto create an enduring industry that adds moreto society’s wealth than it takes away.<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> continued with its implementationof ISO14001 environmental standardsundertaken, the most significant is theconstruction of the <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> ConvertingProcess (ACP) plant, the commissioning ofwhich will start in the second quarter of 2002.This plant will reduce sulphur dioxideemissions from 130 to less than 20 tons per dayat a capital cost of R1,6 billion.The Corporate Social Investment programmeaccelerated during <strong>2001</strong> and will do so again in2002. In particular, the new mining project areason the Eastern Limb of the Bushveld Complex, agenerally depressed region of South Africa withpoverty and high unemployment, will receive thebenefits of <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’s and its partners’expenditures on education, health, welfare,development and job creation. Special attentionwill be given to emergent local small and mediumenterprises, which will be assisted via focusedprocurement and outsourcing programmes.Increased expenditure is also earmarked for theGroup’s established operations in the North Westand Limpopo (formerly “Northern”) Provinces.<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’s HIV/AIDS programme is oneof energetic and constructive engagement withemployees and the communities within whichit operates. Prevalence rates vary widely acrossthe Group’s operations, but are estimated toby <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> but by all affectedstakeholders in the region as a whole,there remains a 78% majority thathas not contracted HIV. To ensurethe long-term sustainability ofour business, the programmewill therefore focus on keepinguninfected employees wellthrough awareness campaignsand on voluntary counsellingand testing linked towellness programmes forthose infected with the virus.HUMAN RESOURCESThe Group has long recognised thatmastery of its future will rely uponattracting, recruiting, developing andretaining quality employees. In pursuit ofits strategic growth objectives, <strong>Anglo</strong><strong>Platinum</strong>’s Human Resource Developmentprogramme, employment equity plans,AIDS/HIV endeavours and educationefforts continue to be closely reviewed andco-ordinated. In this way, the staffing ofcurrent and future operations will proceedrationally, optimally and smoothly, despitethe formidable recruitment and trainingand practices during <strong>2001</strong> and Group-wideaverage around 22%. Without detracting fromchallenges that remain.6


Employee relations were stable during <strong>2001</strong> andthe Group, along with unions and associations,worked hard and successfully to establishpartnership structures and a new employeerelations policy to help ensure that this willremain the case. Negotiations will commence inApril 2002 to replace the two-year substantiveagreement that expires on 30 June 2002.MINERAL RIGHTSAs reported last year, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> reachedan agreement with the Minister of Mineralsand Energy securing the mineral resources onthe Eastern Limb required for its productionand expansion programmes for the foreseeablefuture. The Minerals Development Billhad not, at the time of writing, yet beenintroduced to Parliament; it is hoped that thedelay reflects proper and due caution beingtaken by interested parties to ensure as broadan acceptance as possible. It is expected that lastyear’s agreement reached between the Chamberof Mines and the Department of Minerals andEnergy, which was subsequently endorsed byPresident Thabo Mbeki, will be reflected inwhatever final version the Bill will take.STEADY-STATE OPERATIONSAfter 2000, a year disrupted by floods andstrikes, it is satisfying to report a muchimprovedoperational performance. All measuresof employee productivity were up, as was PGMproduction. Despite rising UG2 percentages,head grades remained steady and are stillsignificantly higher than most of the rest ofSouth Africa’s PGM mines. Furthermore, theincrease in tons milled was outpaced by the risein refined PGM production, indicating not onlya reduction in refining pipelines but alsosuccess in tackling metallurgical recoveries,especially concentrating. Further improvementis expected as benefits from the maintenancecapital programme accrue.The mechanisation programme has begunto deliver promising results, even at thisearly stage of its implementation. Whilecosts per refined ounce already match thoseof conventional mining methods in someareas, further economies of scale areexpected as mechanisation is applied morewidely across the Group. Mechanisation isalso expected to enhance safetyperformance.Notwithstanding the 8% increase in tonsmilled from steady-state operations, labournumbers dropped 2%. Cash costs per ounceof platinum rose 4,4% and this subinflationperformance is expected tocontinue over the coming year.7

A revised programme is now inplace to reverse these setbacks, includingaccelerated development, extended opencastmining and a new Merensky decline. The plantis performing exceptionally well.All other projects announced prior to the periodunder review are progressing satisfactorily,including the Rustenburg/Waterval UG2expansion and the Maandagshoek mine,for which a joint venture agreement withan African Rainbow Minerals-led consortiumwas signed in <strong>2001</strong>. The ACP project wastouched upon earlier in this report. Additionalprojects were announced during <strong>2001</strong>,including the Polokwane (Pietersburg)smelter, the Pandora joint venture with Lonmin(yet to be approved), the Styldrift joint venturewith the Royal Bafokeng Nation and the newTwickenham mine.BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENTRasimone/Styldrift project with the RoyalBafokeng Nation, both of which remain subjectto the fulfilment of certain suspensive conditions.Mvelaphanda <strong>Platinum</strong> (Proprietary) Limited,whose acquisition of 22,5% of Northam <strong>Platinum</strong>was facilitated by <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>, continues tobenefit from its investment in that company.Negotiations with Northam in respect of aninterest in the Pandora joint venture are ongoing.PGM MARKETS<strong>Platinum</strong>, which in 1990 accounted for some80% of <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’s revenue, contributed50% in <strong>2001</strong>, while palladium’s contributionrose from 4% to 28%. Rhodium also made asignificant revenue contribution, at 14% in<strong>2001</strong>, and may consolidate its position as UG2becomes more dominant over the next fewyears. The palladium content of ores from theEastern Limb (where many of <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’snew mines will be sited) is higher than on theWestern Limb, suggesting that the Group’sincreased exposure to palladium will persist.The recycling of PGMs is an importantadditional component of the market and hasan influence on PGM pricing.In <strong>2001</strong>, South Africa’s share of primaryPGM supply (ignoring Russian metal soldfrom stock and recycling) was 55%, withRussia at 33% and North America at 10%.<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> had a 28% market share.For platinum supply alone, South Africaenjoyed a 73% market share in <strong>2001</strong>, justover half of which was supplied from <strong>Anglo</strong><strong>Platinum</strong>’s operations.PRICE ELASTICITYDemand for PGMs has becomemore elastic in recent years,demonstrated for example inJapanese and Chinese platinumjewellery demand. The industry’sjewellery promotion campaign hasfocused on increasing geographicaldiversity in an attempt to counter thissensitivity.09798990001<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> remains committed to supportingand encouraging the economic empowerment ofthe previously disadvantaged, as evidenced by thestructure of the Maandagshoek joint venture withAfrican Rainbow Minerals and the Bafokeng-PGM MARKET SHARETotal world primary platinum, palladium andrhodium supplies in <strong>2001</strong> were 11,8 millionounces (not including an estimated 1,9 millionounces supplied from Russian stocks).The commonly held belief that autocatalystconsumption of PGMs is inelastic is valid onlyin the short term. There has been a swing fromplatinum to palladium in autocatalysts in recentyears. The reverse may happen as auto manu-8


facturers build enhanced flexibility into theirdesign philosophies; together, their share oftotal PGM off-take was 51,4% in <strong>2001</strong>, dwarfingany other single consumer of primary PGMs.AUTOCATALYSTSIt is anticipated that the further geographicalspread and the intensifying stringency of emissionslegislation will drive growth in PGMdemand for autocatalysts over the next tenyears. The use of platinum in autocatalystsrecovered in 2000 and again in <strong>2001</strong> afterthree years of decline, thanks in part to higherplatinum loadings in diesel vehicles coupledwith a rise in diesel vehicle populations inEurope. Also, the shift to palladium technologywas reversed somewhat in reaction to tightRussian palladium sales policies andexceptionally high palladium prices.It is expected that these influences will persist,especially as new legislation is applied to trucksin the USA, but that auto manufacturers’ability to react more quickly by, inter alia, dualcertifyingboth platinum and palladium-richautocatalysts, may help to create moreflexibility in this application.Given the uncertainties surrounding Russianpalladium stocks and selling policies, it isdifficult to predict palladium price behaviour.However, with a rapidly rising palladium outputfrom South Africa and declining palladium usagein dental and electronic applications, auto manufacturersmay be well advised not to change thecocktail of PGMs in gasoline autocatalysts toodrastically in favour of platinum.JEWELLERYA strong upward price trend for platinum in2000 and <strong>2001</strong> led to a decline in jewelleryfabrication demand, although retail demandremained firm. Strong signs of price sensitivitywere evident in the low-value end of alljewellery markets.In Japan, jewellery fabrication demand fell asmanufacturers destocked and some recyclingtook place. High platinum prices, exacerbatedby weak economic conditions, led to some lossof platinum’s market share, mainly to whitegold at the lower end of the market, althoughthis has recently been ameliorated by lowerplatinum prices. <strong>Platinum</strong> is still used in closeto 100% of engagement rings and over 80% ofwedding rings in Japan.The <strong>Platinum</strong> Guild International’s (PGI)efforts, funded by <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> and otherPGM producers, have led to platinum’s share ofthe US bridal market rising from less than 1% in1990 to around 40% in <strong>2001</strong>.European jewellery demand is centred mainlyin Italy, Germany, the UK and Switzerland.9

Fuel cells do not burn fuel, thuseliminating the air pollution associated with fossilfuels. Almost all prototype fuel cell vehicles arepowered by the proton exchange membrane fuelcell, which uses platinum as the primarycatalyst. All major automobile companies nowhave fuel cell programmes. At present, demandis small, but gradual medium- to long-termgrowth, first in stationary fuel cells and laterupon the commercialisation of fuel cell vehicles,is envisaged. By 2010, it is projected that totalfuel cell demand for platinum will have reached500 000 annual ounces, but massive growthBUSINESS STRATEGYSTRATEGY REVIEWPGM resources ‘in the ground’ far exceeddemand for these metals and additional PGMdemand must be created to give value to theseresources. In <strong>2001</strong>, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> spentR251 million on jewellery promotion andR812 million in commissions and discountsto those users who fund research anddevelopment into new applications. In this way,it maintained the viability of the PGM orereserves to which it has access, as well as thoseof a rising number of new entrants.<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’s strategy is driven by marketconsiderations not by the size of its resource.As part of the Group’s ongoing review of itsstrategy, underlying market assumptions wereanalysed in the light of the looming recessionand, later in the year, of the September 11attacks in the USA and the ensuing US actionsin Afghanistan. Downside and upside scenarioswere examined in detail.It was concluded that, even in the worst case,demand available for <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> productionby 2006 remains at 3,5 million ounces ofplatinum. Under this “downside scenario” furtherwould continue to be pursued. It is importantto note that, in all scenarios examined, it wasassumed that competitors would continue withtheir announced expansions.The Board is pleased to confirm that its growthstrategy, first announced in 2000, remains inplace. However, it is emphasised that <strong>Anglo</strong><strong>Platinum</strong> is not a swing producer. The Group willdo all that it can to use its superior marketintelligence to anticipate and then meet futurePGM demand, without causing unnecessaryinstability or volatility by underestimatingcustomers’ requirements. Conversely, shouldmarkets reach an oversupply situation, <strong>Anglo</strong><strong>Platinum</strong> will not throttle back its expansions foras long as there are more expensive producingrivals on the supply side. To do so would, firstly,be uncompetitive and detrimental to consumersand, secondly, provide a price umbrellato operations that are too costly to deserveto survive. While short-term volatility can resultin temporary surpluses and deficits of PGMproduction, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> is driven by thelong-term needs of PGM consumers. Its planninghorizon can be several business cycles hence as itdecides to build projects that will secure aproduction base well into the future.beyond this time may be possible, requiringexpansion post 2006 would be limited, although<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> will expand its productionfurther expansion in mine production.under the “best estimate scenario”, expansionthrough the establishment of both brownfields10


and greenfields mining operations over unexploitedreserves along the Bushveld Complex.In addition, it willconstruct newsmelting andrefining capacityin South Africafor the increasedarisings of concentrates.<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>will also raise efficiencies at existingoperations by developing its humanresource and mechanising its miningmethods; these and other interventionswill help improve safety performance.The skills and technologies needed for expansionwill be acquired through a combination ofaggressive recruitment, intensive training anddevelopment programmes, employment equityand supplier partnerships. The strategy alsoincludes a plan to extend <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’sindustry leadership in respect of environmentalcare via the ACP and other projects.The implementation of this strategy has beensuccessful in terms of the timetable presentedto the Board. Base production from existingoperations is currently some 2 million annualounces of platinum and this will be maintainedvia green- and brownfield projects to beannounced from time to time. <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>continues to enjoy remarkable flexibility in thechoices available to it for both maintenance andexpansion of production.EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> continued to fund explorationat the River Valley project in the Sudbury districtof Ontario, Canada in <strong>2001</strong>. This is a jointventure with Pacific North West Capital (PFN)of Vancouver, who manage the project. Resultshave been encouraging and work will continuein 2002. To date, an Indicated Resource of some600 000 oz PGMs has been identified.An agreement with PFN and New MillenniumMetals Corporation to jointly explore tenementsat Agnew Lake, also in the Sudbury district, wasconcluded in <strong>2001</strong> and preliminary fieldworkhas been completed. The project will restart inMarch 2002 following the winter closure.The joint venture with Eurasia to evaluatecertain properties in the Vissim district of theUral Mountains, near Yekaterinberg in Russia,continued in <strong>2001</strong> with encouraging results andwill be pursued in 2002.Within the Bushveld Complex, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>accelerated exploration to meet the demands ofits expansion strategy and completed more than200 km of core drilling.11

DIRECTORS, MANAGEMENT AND STAFFAt last year’s Annual General Meeting,Leslie Boyd stood down as Chairman of <strong>Anglo</strong><strong>Platinum</strong>, following his retirement as a Directorof <strong>Anglo</strong> American plc. His long involvementand broad experience in the mining industry, aswell as his wise counsel, will not be completelylost to us, as he retainshis seat on the <strong>Anglo</strong><strong>Platinum</strong> Board asaNon-ExecutiveDirector. At the samemeeting, I wasappointed ExecutiveChairman in his place.I was very pleased thatTom Wixley, who retired as chairman of Ernst &Young SA in June <strong>2001</strong>, agreed to join theBoard as Deputy Chairman. Tom’s appointmentalso addresses the King Committee’srecommendation that, where the Chairman andChief Executive’s roles are not split, a strong,independent, Non-Executive Director should bechosen as the Deputy Chairman.On 1 March <strong>2001</strong>, I announced Dorian Emmett’sappointment as Chief Operating Officer (COO),whose principal focus is on operations and theextensive expansion programme upon which theGroup has embarked. The COO has reporting tohim: Operations; Human Resources; and Projects.In replacing Dorian in his previous position asExecutive Director: Commercial, we werefortunate to recruit Sandy Wood to the Board inMay <strong>2001</strong>. Sandy acquired extensive commercialand business experience through various executivepositions at large corporations, including asGeneral Manager: Marketing of JCI’s <strong>Platinum</strong>Division. I wish him a long and happy associationwith us at <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>.On 1 July <strong>2001</strong>, Eric Ford, Executive Director:Operations, returned to <strong>Anglo</strong> AmericanCorporation, later to be appointed the chiefexecutive officer of <strong>Anglo</strong> Coal Australia.Following these changes, I now have reportingdirectly to me: Dorian Emmett; Sandy Wood; andRoeland van Kerckhoven, Executive Director:Finance and Corporate Development.

Once dominated by Japan,the market has now grown in other regionsand China has overtaken Japan as the world’sleading platinum jewellery market.

An increasein the fabrication of platinum jewellery anda reduction in the recycling of old jewellery inthe last quarter of the year, resulted in recoveryin demand towards the end of the year.Total demand for <strong>2001</strong> is expected to haveslightly exceeded the September estimate of700 000 ounces. Despite weak consumerdemand for luxury items, platinum continuesto hold its ground in the more expensivebridal and jewellery markets.EUROPE<strong>Platinum</strong> demand for the fabrication of jewelleryin Europe is estimated to have declined 16% to160 000 ounces in <strong>2001</strong>. Growth in the UK marketwas insufficient to make up for weak demand fromItaly and Germany.United KingdomThe level of interest in platinum continues to growin the United Kingdom, with platinum becomingthe premium choice for engagement and bridaljewellery.

<strong>Platinum</strong> Market Review (continued)PLATINUM JEWELLERYGermanyWeaker consumer demand has affected salesof all jewellery, but platinum jewellery themost, due again to the high price differential,which led to a fall in the lower price categories.As in other markets, the bridal sector was lessaffected by economic conditions.USASales of platinum for jewellery fabricationin North America declined in <strong>2001</strong>.The slowdown in the US economy hasreduced consumer demand for luxuryitems such as jewellery. Economicuncertainty, even before the September11 attacks, coupled with higherprices for platinum, dampened retaildemand especially for smaller, lessexpensive items. However, as a result ofPGI’s promotional and marketingcampaigns, platinum is firmlyentrenched in the upmarket bridal sector,where consumers are not willing tocompromise quality for price.INDIAThe PGI India compaign was successfullylaunched in September 2000; initiallyconfined to the two major cities – Delhi andMumbai. PGI’s efforts have now extended toother cities. Although small at present, Indiandemand is expected to contribute in time to theexpansion of the platinum jewellery market.22

<strong>Platinum</strong> Market Review (continued)AUTOCATALYSTJAPAN<strong>2001</strong> sales of new vehicles in Japan eased 1%from 2000, as softening demand for lighttrucks and mini-vehicles outweighed strongsales of compact cars. Sales for the year totalled5,91 million units. A decline in exports alsoweighed heavily on the industry, withproduction declining 3,6% to 9,78 million unitsin <strong>2001</strong> and lower shipments to most majormarkets. Exports to Europe alone fell 21% asJapan lost heavily to domestic manufacturers inthe diesel-hungry market.Despite the decline in vehicle output, Japan’sconsumption of platinum in the autocatalystsector is estimated to have risen 19% to345 000 ounces for the period. More stringentemissions legislation came into effect in October2000 for new models sold in Japan and higherPGM loadings were needed in order to meetthem. From September 2002, all new vehicleswill have to meet the new regulations andfurther increases in demand for PGMs from thissector are therefore expected.EUROPESales of light vehicles in Europe confoundedexpectations and edged up 0,6% in <strong>2001</strong> to14,8 million, the second highest level ever.Diesel vehicles continued to gain market share,accounting for 36% of all light vehicle sales, upfrom 30% in 2000. Diesel growth, combinedwith more stringent diesel legislation from thebeginning of the year, resulted in an almost30% rise in the use of platinum in this sectoralone. The diesel segment of the Europeanmarket used around 70% of the estimated24980 000 ounces of platinumrequired for autocatalyst applications.<strong>Platinum</strong> content in emission control systemsfitted on gasoline vehicles also rose in <strong>2001</strong>, asthe industry switched away from palladium infavour of platinum-rich systems.USADespite expectations of a dismal year for US carsales in <strong>2001</strong>, incentives offered by manufacturersboosted sales in the last quarter; <strong>2001</strong>was the second best sales year ever at17,2 million units, 1,3% lower than in 2000.The proportion of light trucks has beengrowing in recent years and reached almost50% in <strong>2001</strong>. The generous incentives offeredby domestic manufacturers also helped to stemmarket share losses to imported vehicles.‘Big Three’ sales for the model year-endSeptember were 10% lower than for theprevious year, but gains in the last threemonths of <strong>2001</strong> resulted in a 5% decline for thecalendar year. Imported vehicles accounted for17,8% of the market, up from 16% in 2000.


With the palladium price rising torecord levels, North American automanufacturers sought to reducethe palladium content in theiremission control systems. Consequently,their platinum requirements were 36% higherin <strong>2001</strong>. With some of the metal sourced fromstocks built in the previous year, purchases ofplatinum rose 13% to 700 000 ounces.REST OF THE WORLD<strong>Platinum</strong> demand from the rest of the world isestimated to have risen 12% to 335 000 ouncesin <strong>2001</strong>, as stricter legislation was imposed insome Asian markets. The EURO II equivalentstandards (Bharat II), implemented in Indiain 2000, were extended to cover more cities in<strong>2001</strong>, raising demand for platinum. There wasan increase in demand for all PGMs in China, asall new vehicles had to comply with EURO Iequivalent standards, which had initially onlycovered new models. A significantly higherdemand occurred in Korea, as Korean LEVregulations were applied from the start of <strong>2001</strong>.DIESEL VEHICLESOne of the significant growth areas forplatinum demand is for catalysts fitted to dieselvehicles. These are currently all platinumbased.The growth in this application isexpected to contribute some 25% of theexpected increase in platinum demand by2010. Legislation covering emissions fromlarge diesel vehicles has been promulgated inthe major regions of the world, whilst dieselpassenger vehicles continue to gain marketshare particularly in Europe.BACKGROUNDDiesel engines operate differently fromgasoline engines. Whereas a spark is used toignite the fuel and air mix in a gasolineengine, fuel injection and compression areused in a diesel engine. The mixture of air andfuel therefore adjusts to the power demand onthe engine with little waste. The diesel engineis more efficient in converting the fuel’schemical energy to automotive power andtherefore almost all large, commercial enginesare diesel.25One of the significantgrowth areas forplatinum demand is forcatalysts fitted to dieselvehicles.

The first significant developmentwas direct injection of fuel into each cylinder.Direct injection increased the thermalefficiency which enhances its competitiveposition with respect to the typical internalcombustion engine. Calibration andEMISSIONS LEGISLATIONEmissions legislation covering diesel lightmotor vehicles is already in place in the majorregions. However the impact is felt mostly inWestern Europe where 36% of passengervehicles sold are diesel-powered.

Americans have enjoyedrelatively low-cost fuel and consumption hasbeen a relatively unimportant issue for theconsumer. However, attention to fueleconomy has increased as more severestandards have been imposed on vehicles.The industry now generally accepts thatzero-emission vehicles will be the reality ofthe future, but until then it must developtechnologies that meet interim requirements.There is growing support in North Americafor the manufacture and sale of more dieselpoweredlight vehicles that will enable theindustry to meet both Corporate Average FuelEconomy levels and federal emission limits.However, US and Californian emissionstandards are calling for drastic cuts in NOxand particulate matter emissions, a move thatsome industry watchers believe is specificallytargeted at eliminating the diesel engine.Concerns over the USA’s reliance on oilimports, which has intensified since theterrorist attacks of September <strong>2001</strong>, mayresult in a rethink on diesel engines. TheEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA)denies that the standards are prohibitive andan official representing the EPA predictsapotential 20% diesel light vehicle marketshare by the end of the decade, withouta relaxation of the Tier 2 pollution rules.27The three largest automanufacturers in theUSA have built workingfuel cell vehicles and plancommercialisation by themiddle of the currentdecade.

With a slowdown in theconstruction of new paraxylene plants aftertwo years of growth, demand for platinum inthis application is estimated to have declineddue to a rising proportion of disksmanufactured containing platinum.With the proportion close to 100% in <strong>2001</strong>and a decline in sales of computers inthe same period, platinum demand in theelectrical sector fell an estimated 16%in <strong>2001</strong>, after seven years of growth.FUEL CELLSFuel cells use platinum to promote a chemicalin the 1960s, when NASA used fuel cells toprovide power for the Apollo and Geminispace missions.In 1990, California promulgated legislationthat included a requirement for Zero EmissionVehicles (ZEV), which triggered research anddevelopment efforts into fuel cell use forpowering vehicles.

The US imports 65% of the oil itneeds for gasoline and diesel fuels, up from35% in 1973, the year of the OPEC oilembargo. Energy independence wouldhelp it avoid economic difficulties andinternational conflict. In January 2002,the Energy Secretary of the BushAdministration announced a partnershipbetween his department and US automobilemanufacturers to promote the developmentof hydrogen as a primary fuel for carsand trucks, in an effort to reduce USdependence on foreign oil.

<strong>Platinum</strong> Market Review (continued)OTHER METALSPortable fuel cellapplications for poweringlaptop computers andmobile phones will makea significant contributionto the growth in demandin the second half of thisdecade.OTHER METALS<strong>Platinum</strong> is the largest single contributor to<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’s revenues. However, theGroup also produces significant amounts ofthe other PGMs (palladium, rhodium, iridiumand ruthenium), gold and base metals (nickel,copper and cobalt). The contribution of theseother metals to total revenue in <strong>2001</strong> was 50%.PALLADIUMPalladium demand fell an estimated 24% in<strong>2001</strong>, as higher prices at the beginning of theyear drove consumers to seek alternatives.Total supply of palladium declined in <strong>2001</strong>to around 7,55 million ounces, despite anincrease in South African production asexpansions and new projects came on stream.A significant proportion of the estimated4,5 million ounces of Russian palladiumexported in the first three quarters of the yearis believed to have failed to find buyers and isprobably still held as stock in Switzerland.Russian shipments slowed from August, whenAutocatalystA concerted effort by auto manufacturers toreduce their reliance on palladium, and a drawdownof inventory, resulted in a 14% fall in grossdemand for palladium in this application in <strong>2001</strong>.Palladium’s role in emission control systemscannot be eliminated, especially in the reductionof HC levels, but, where possible, manufacturersare reducing palladium consumption bysupplementing with platinum and/or rhodium.ElectronicsPalladium demand from the electronics sectorin <strong>2001</strong> is estimated to have halved comparedto the previous year. A decline in consumerdemand for electronic goods and high inventorylevels of electronic components at the end of2000 contributed to this fall. As in the autocatalystsector, high palladium prices haveencouraged the development of technologiesthat could reduce reliance on the metal; agrowing proportion of multi-layer ceramiccapacitors is being produced using base metaltechnology or pastes containing less palladiumsubstitutionis relatively easy.Erratic supplies and pricevolatility affected other areas ofelectronics demand for palladium in <strong>2001</strong>,such as in lead frames and hybrid integrated circuits.DentalThe use of palladium in dental alloys declined byan estimated 16% to 690 000 ounces in <strong>2001</strong>.In certain regions, governments subsidise particularalloys, but markets that lack these constraints canreadily switch to more price-competitive alloys atany time. Some markets switched to gold alloys.North American demand fell in <strong>2001</strong> in directresponse to higher prices. However, if the palladiumprice maintains its recently lower level, somereversal of this substitution may be possible.In Europe, demand fell 40% in <strong>2001</strong> and, in Japan,the 8,5% decline in demand was due to economicfactors affecting the number of dental treatments.JewelleryPalladium demand in jewellery fabrication wasthe price weakened in response to excessivethan previously. Despite the recent fall in thenegatively affected by the decline in platinum jewelleryliquidity and Russia curtailed spot sales ofpalladium price, its premium to gold hasmanufacture, especially in Japan. An increase inthe metal.resulted in a lower use in connectors, wheredemand for white gold boosted palladium – used as32


a whitening agent in thisalloy – but this effect wastempered as some markets movedtowards the more internationally acceptedhigher platinum content alloys.RHODIUMDemand for rhodium fell an estimated 31% in<strong>2001</strong>, largely since part of auto manufacturers’needs was met from inventory built up in 2000.Supplies of rhodium declined to 579 000ounces on the back of lower sales from Russia,which sold some 190 000 ounces of rhodiumfrom stock in the previous year.Rhodium requirements in autocatalysts rose in<strong>2001</strong> as auto manufacturers sought to reducetheir use of palladium. However, some drewdown inventories and purchases of rhodiumfor this sector declined some 31% to 548 000ounces. In North America, sales to the industryfell despite slightly higher rhodium contents inautocatalysts. In Japan, purchases were loweras auto manufacturers used inventory materialto meet more exacting emissions standards.With the extension of EURO III legislation to allnew vehicles in Europe from the beginning of<strong>2001</strong>, rhodium requirements increased by anestimated 2%. Implementation of stricterlegislation in the East resulted in a higherrhodium demand from the rest of the world.Demand for rhodium for industrial uses wasboosted in <strong>2001</strong> by the construction of newoxo-alcohol capacity. Demand in otherindustrial sectors remained firm but littlechanged from the previous year.NICKELStainless steel production accounts for some twothirdsof the world’s primary nickel consumption.The stainless steel industry follows a notoriouslyvolatile cycle, characterised by periods of doubledigitgrowth and inventory building followed bysharp production cuts and destocking.The nickel market, as a consequence, followsthe stainless steel cycle very closely. <strong>2001</strong> sawthe stainless steel market in a severe downturn,causing nickel prices to fall from a high ofUS$7 535/ton (May) to a low of US$4 420/ton(November). Indeed, as the USA moved intorecession, nickel suffered too from weakdemand in its other end uses. Superalloys werehit by a downturn in the aerospace sector,33while the collapse of the IT sector adverselyaffected plating applications.On the supply side, the International NickelStudy Group (INSG) reported that total worldproduction of nickel grew approximately 3,3%over the year. In addition to this, Norilskannounced early in <strong>2001</strong> that the year’s exportswould be limited to 155 000 tons. However, it isnow estimated that Russian exports over <strong>2001</strong>,apart from a rumoured 70 000 ton stockpileheld in warehouse, totalled 177 400 tons,worsening downward pressure on nickel prices.The outlook for nickel is more positive in 2002than in <strong>2001</strong>. As an economic recovery gathersmomentum during the course of 2002,stainless steel production is expected to moveonce more into a strong growth phase. This,together with a tightening of the stainless steelscrap market, will provide the platform forrising nickel prices, although this may onlyoccur towards the end of the year.

TREASURYTreasury has the ongoing task of ensuringthat the Group focuses on timeousidentification, measurement and valuationof market and operational risks within itsarea of responsibility. The scope of thisfunction has been enhanced in line withthe methodologies currently being appliedin the industry. Market and credit risks,being the main risks managed withinTreasury, are the subject of a renewed focus.Treasury provides analyses of market trendsand makes strategic recommendations to theFinancial Risk Committee, which in turnsubmits recommendations to the ExecutiveCommittee.Treasury manages the Group’s bankingrelationships, which are developed andmaintained with highly rated financialinstitutions.INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> made a structural change inits IT operations to sharpen its corporateresponsibility and meet its expanding ITrequirements. The new organisationalarrangement was designed to enhance servicedelivery and alignment with business,facilitated by a renewed focus on Strategy,Business Systems Development and Operations.In terms of the new delivery structure,technology advancement, business solutions,architectural development, projectmanagement and business intelligenceremain key objectives in balancing the Group’sbusiness and technology requirements.The new structure has resulted in a servicedelivery that is more flexible in response tobusiness’ changing requirements, in a waythat is more efficient at reduced costs.Technology continues to grow in significancein the Group as computers become morepowerful and easy to carry, even underground.To achieve optimal performance ofboth commercial and mining systems, <strong>Anglo</strong><strong>Platinum</strong> continues to partner with nationaland international companies to improveservice delivery.To ensure that <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> is gettingvalue for money and that service providersare meeting contractual obligations, acontinuous comparative assessment isconducted to evaluate their performance inthe key outsourced IT areas and to identifythose functional areas that offer the greatestopportunities for improved performance.35


Finance Review (continued)The sourcing of the Group’s internal ITactivities from Comparex, EDS and GMSI isstrategic and delivering value. Together withthese partners, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> is generatingvalue from its knowledge assets. The rolloutof Intranet (IntraCS) across the Group hasbeen favourably accepted. The project isprogressing and the final outcome will be thecreation of portals for Corporate Office andoperational divisions, business units anddepartments.Use of SAP R/3 has continued to spreadthroughout the Group. The upgrading of allsites to version 4.5B was completed during<strong>2001</strong>, as was the conversion of all variouspayrolls to the one basic SAP payroll system.This has meant that, for the first time, alloperations and centres are now using thesame version of the integrated system andall employees are now paid using a commonpayroll system.A dual exploitation programme to furtherexplore the benefits of SAP R/3 wasintroduced during <strong>2001</strong> and is well underway. A continuous business improvementinitiative, driven by individual sites to exploitthe existing functionality of the system,covers the changing needs of users andmanagements at operational level. Processchanges across the broader Group areaddressed by focused projects driven fromcentral management structures. Two suchareas are Human Resource Managementand Plant Maintenance.The immediate future requires theimplementation of the SAP R/3 system tonew Group operations and the furtherexploitation of the SAP suite of applicationsto strengthen and rationalise the use oftechnology within management systems.The drive to improve information has led theGroup to embark on a strong systematictop-down monitoring and facilitation ofknowledge-related activities, which areultimately driven to improve executiveinformation systems.In leveraging available technologysuccessfully to create value-added productsand services, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> has embarkedon a programme of improving IT governance.The objective is to achieve a consistent36standard of information security for systemsand information which are critical, therebykeeping the associated business risks undercontrol.On 27 July <strong>2001</strong>, the first SAP EnterpriseBuyer Professional (EBP) transaction wassuccessfully conducted at AmandelbultSection. EBP is an e-procurement applicationthat links buyers with suppliers via theInternet and that can be integrated with theexisting SAP Enterprise Resource Planning(ERP). The main benefits of EBP are enhancedcontract compliance, better visibility ofexpenditure, improved quality of reportingand reduced time spent on sourcing.During 2002, additional users will be trainedand further suppliers will be added toQuadrem to reach a significant transactionvolume.

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCEIt is tragic to report the occurrence of 22fatal accidents during <strong>2001</strong>. I wish toexpress my heartfelt condolences to familyand friends of our deceased colleagues.<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> is confident that itsinitiatives will lead to a ‘zero-fatality’operating climate, with lost-time injuryfrequency rates as good as world bestpractice for mining operations. Safetyperformance is improving and in manyrespects has already turned the corner.The fatal injury frequency rate droppedfrom 0,04 to 0,03 and the lost-time injuryfrequency rate fell from 3,8 to 2,5 per200 000 man hours during <strong>2001</strong>.A behaviour-based safety campaign isbeing implemented, focusing on unsafeacts, safety standards, training andworkplace skills development.M E M B E R S O F O P E R A T I N G C O M M I T T E E:BACK (from left): J A Geldenhuys, Dr J R Johnston, C B Sheppard,Dr R C Baxter, E L Magnus, R Pilkington, W GrundlingCENTRE (from left): P Charlesworth, G F Linden,RWHieber, B E NgubaneFRONT (from left): P J V Kinver, J A Dreyer,D T G Emmett, J M Halhead43


R E V I E W O F O P E R A T I O N S(continued)Chief Operating Officer’s Review<strong>2001</strong> was a year ofmuch-improvedGroup operationalperformance in allrespects.Given the commitment, focus and energybeing applied to the <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> safetyeffort, it is anticipated that performance inthis area will improve in 2002.<strong>2001</strong> was a year of much-improvedGroup operational performance in allrespects. Refined production of PGMs was up12,7%, despite a slightly lower head graderesulting from a higher proportion of UG2.Not only did milled tons rise during <strong>2001</strong>, butconcentrator performances were better.Notwithstanding the increase in output atsteady-state mines, the average numberof mine employees dropped 2,2% in <strong>2001</strong>.As a result, productivity increases wererecorded across the board. The Technologyand Breakthrough divisions continued toresearch and develop new mining methodsand systems during <strong>2001</strong>. Much of thework has been encouraging and willlikewise contribute to improved productivityas it is applied.Cash operating costs per ounce of PGM at steady-state operations rose 4,3% in <strong>2001</strong>,well below the inflation rate.There were some negatives in <strong>2001</strong>. Union Section, in spite of higher tonnages using feweremployees, experienced a drop in grades and recoveries that affected its overall performance.The conditions leading to these problems are well on the way to resolution. Leplats’ unit cash costswere relatively high in <strong>2001</strong>, but should decline as expansions continue being implemented and assome synergy with the broader Eastern Limb expansion programme is realised. BRPM resolvedmany of its operational issues during <strong>2001</strong> and should have a much more satisfactory 2002 as itbegins to realise its potential.SUMMARY<strong>2001</strong> Rustenburg Amandelbult Union PPRust Leplats BRPMTons milled (thousands) 7 733 7 086 4 466 4 270 1 397 1 892Built-uphead grade (g/ton) 5,38 5,68 4,40 4,38 4,26 4,42UG2 (%) 16 36 60 38 24<strong>Platinum</strong>ounces refined (thousands) 719,1 679,3 280,4 211,1 89,1 130,2Cash costs (R/oz PGMs) 2 233 1 340 2 102 1 682 2 498 3 087Operatingmargin (%) 51,8 68,4 51,2 65,7 48,9 30,344


OPERATIONS OUTLOOKThe commissioning of the ACP is eagerlyawaited during 2002, not only by <strong>Anglo</strong><strong>Platinum</strong> but also, no doubt, by theresidents of the Rustenburg area, whocan look forward to a steadily improvingair quality in the vicinity of <strong>Anglo</strong><strong>Platinum</strong>’s operations.In terms of breakeven cost, expressed asUS dollars per ounce of PGM, PPRust,Amandelbult Section and RustenburgSection have firmly entrenchedthemselves at the bottom of the industrycost curve. BRPM will follow suit asit reaches full production. Both Leplatsand Union Section have action plans inplace to improve significantly on their<strong>2001</strong> performance. For the Groupsteady-state operations, rand costescalation per ounce of PGM is targetedto be below inflation in 2002.The improved rapport built up withunions and associations over the pasttwo years is expected to facilitate positivenegotiations to replace the two-yearsubstantive agreement that expires inJune 2002. Although no guarantees canbe given against the risk of industrialaction, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> is confident thatit is doing all that is possible to addressrelationship issues and to anticipate unionand association requirements.Given the above, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> targets toproduce 2,35 million ounces of platinumin 2002. Due to the nature of theexpansion, particularly the planned timingof the Rustenburg (Waterval) andMaandagshoek projects, the second half ofthe year will account for most of theadditional ounces produced during theyear. Further, some lock-up of materialwill occur during the commissioningphases of projects in the first half.D T G EmmettChief Operating OfficerJohannesburg25 March 2002 Process Division – new plant45

The emphasis on safety was enhanced bythe introduction of hazard awarenesscampaigns and an increase in elected fulltimesafety representatives. A programmeof intensified coaching, focusing on bestpractice, has commenced and will continuethroughout 2002.All unions and associations continue tobe actively involved with employees andmanagement in developing and ensuring thecommitment of their members to safety andhealth improvement initiatives.MININGProduction during the first half of <strong>2001</strong> wasaffected by excessive scaling in the Spud Shaftrock-pass system. Arrangements to bypassthe problem area were implemented.Opencast mining compensated for an undergroundshortfall and total tons milled rose7,4%, but the mill head grade fell 10,0%.However, the total number of employees fell12,1 % and, along with process improvements,this helped productivity for the year torise 10,5% to 44,2 platinum ounces peremployee. Concentrator efficiencieswill be enhanced by the commissioningof a new section of the Mortimer UG2Concentrator during the third quarter of2002. The Mortimer Merensky Concentratorwill also benefit from the installation ofimproved flotation capability.A new decline system from surface has beenestablished on the UG2 reef horizon to increasethe amount of ore produced by mechanisedtrackless equipment. This system is an enhancementof the long-standing trackless miningmethod used at the Declines Section; low-profileequipment will be used to feed conveyor belts,bringing in the benefits of lower dilution andreduced costs. The existing mechanised sectionwill also be converted to low-profile equipmentand conveyors, enabling the life of this projectto be extended, while reaping the benefits ofa safer and more efficient mining method.An agreement was reached with unions andassociations to conduct a pilot study to determinethe viability of the introduction of a five dayweek.

R E V I E W O F O P E R A T I O N S(continued)ProjectsOVERVIEWFollowing the appointment of the ChiefOperating Officer, a review of the scope ofactivities of the then Technology andBusiness Development Divisions wasundertaken. It was clear from this reviewthat the scale of the Group’s expansionprogramme demanded a more focusedstructure and the Projects Division wasformed for this purpose. The division isresponsible for the feasibility study,evaluation and execution of the majorexpansion projects required to meet the2006 target of 3,5 million annual ouncesof platinum. The division is managing inexcess of R12 billion of projects.Major new projects announced during theyear, in pursuit of expansion objectives, were:● Styldrift Joint Venture (JV) with the RoyalBafokeng Nation (subject to conditionsprecedent);● Polokwane (formerly Pietersburg) Smelter;and● Twickenham <strong>Platinum</strong> Mine.In addition, the intention of forming a JV withLonmin (the Pandora project) to exploit theUG2 reserves west of Brits was announced,although this project has not yet been approvedand costing is being updated. Feasibility studywork on this and a number of other miningoptions continued throughout the year.Further mining opportunities continue to beevaluated both for the purposes of Groupexpansion and replacement of depleted reservesat existing operations. Additional miningprojects will be announced during the comingyear. Also, expansion of processing capacitywill be necessary; option evaluation iswell advanced and processing projectannouncements will be made in 2002.SAFETYA strong emphasis has been placed on safetyin all project execution activities, traditionallya high-risk area. During <strong>2001</strong>, in excess of2,2 million shifts were worked for a total of18 lost-time injuries; there were no fatalities.The lost-time injury frequency rate for theyear was 0,29, which was extremely pleasing.It is further encouraging that <strong>Anglo</strong><strong>Platinum</strong>’s initiatives in this area havereceived very strong support from thecontracting companies.64

Review of Mineral Reserves and ResourcesThe project scope is for the installation of ahigh-temperature electric furnace for thetreatment of converter slag. Under normalpractice, slag is returned to the primaryconcentrate-smelting electric furnaces torecover contained metal values. However,with increasing proportions of UG2concentrates being treated, the recycling ofchrome creates constraints in the furnacesdue to the elevated melting points of the slag.The project is designed to alleviate thiscondition, improve the recovery of metalvalues and create additional capacity in theprimary furnaces.Reconstruction of the existing slow-coolingfacility to provide a site for installation of theslag-cleaning furnace was completed in <strong>2001</strong>.Design work is well advanced and all majororders have been placed. Civil and structuralwork is in progress and the project is onschedule.MINERAL RESERVESRUSTENBURG PLATINUM MINES (RPM) holdsmineral rights throughout the BushveldComplex under various titles. These arecurrently being exploited on a fullyoperational basis at the Rustenburg,Amandelbult and Union sections, covering atotal of 2 590 hectares. BRPM is continuingunder development on the farm Boschkoppie104 JQ and covers a total area of 3 362hectares. The Maandagshoek JV with ARM iswell advanced into the mining stage, althoughit is still under development. The mininglicence covers an area of 11 756 hectares onportions of the farms Maandagshoek 254 KT,Onverwacht 292 KT, Winterveld 293 KT,Driekop 253 KT, and Hendriksplaats 281 KT.The Company announced its intention tostart a second new mine in the Burgersfortdistrict of the Limpopo Province. The initialarea of the new mine includes the farmsTwickenham 114 KT, Hackney 116 KT andPaschaskraal 466 KS. The extent of the areais 18 992 hectares, over which RPM hasapplied for a mining licence from theDepartment of Minerals and Energy.The Bushveld Complex’s two most widelyoccurring and best known PGM ore bodies,the Merensky and UG2 reefs, occur on RPM’sproperties. These reefs have been widelyreported on in international literature andtheir ability to yield economically viableamounts of PGMs at prices well below thosecurrently encountered is firmly established.POTGIETERSRUST PLATINUMS (PPRust) isengaged in the mining of PGMs and basemetals, which are an integral part of thePlatreef ores. PPRust holds mineral rightsover an area of 7 009 hectares on the Platreefin the Mokopane (formerly Potgietersrus)and Mokerong districts and, has the rightto mine a further 6 888 hectares. A miningauthorisation has been issued for an area of313 hectares.The properties over which the Companyhas the rights to mine are situated on theNorthern (Polokwane – formerly Pietersburg)Limb of the Bushveld Complex. The orebodythat occurs on the mine properties is knownas the Platreef and is the local equivalent ofthe Merensky Reef that occurs in other areasof the Bushveld Complex.69

The mining licencescover an area of 6 921 hectares.COMBINED MINERAL RESERVES ANDMINERAL RESOURCESThe table on page 101 lists the combinedmineral reserves and resources statusof the <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> operations andprojects. The table includes resourcesassociated with several projects that arenot detailed in the annual report and thatare therefore additional to the table ofreserves and resources pertaining toexisting operations and announcedprojects appearing on page 102.The SAMREC Code for the reporting ofreserves and resources has been applied, asdefined in the Glossary of Terms: Operationson page 103. This is consistent with thereporting basis used by <strong>Anglo</strong> American plc.The Resource and Reserve figures quoted inthis report have been prepared by variousCompetent Persons as defined by the SAMRECCode of Practice. They were reviewed andsigned off by the signatory below:K R Noble (Pr. Sci. Nat)General Manager: Mining and Geological ServicesA ‘Competent Person’ is a person who isa member of the South African Council forNatural Scientific Professions (SACNASP), and/or the Engineering Council of South Africa(ECSA), and/or the South African Council forProfessional Land Surveyors and TechnicalSurveyors (PLATO) or any other statutorySouth African or international body that isrecognised by SAMREC. A Competent Personshould have a minimum of five years’ experiencerelevant to the style of mineralisation and typeof deposit under consideration and to theactivity which that person is undertaking.If the Competent Person is estimating, orsupervising the estimation of MineralResources, the relevant experience must be inthe estimation, assessment and evaluation ofMineral Resources. If the Competent Person isestimating or supervising the estimation ofMineral Reserves, the relevant experience mustbe in the estimation, assessment, evaluationand economic extraction of Mineral Reserves.OVERVIEW OF CURRENT EXPLORATIONDriven by the substantial requirements ofa dynamic project development programmerelated to the expansion and resourcereplenishment requirements, <strong>2001</strong> has beena year of intensive geological exploration.In the process of evaluating the mineralresources required for the Group’s futureneeds, some 223 km of diamond drill coringwas completed in the Bushveld Complexduring <strong>2001</strong>.The bulk of the exploration activity occurredin the Eastern Bushveld, where severalprojects progressed well into an advancedevaluation phase, thereby quite substantiallyincreasing the levels of confidence in theMineral Resources.One of the main projects, the recentlyannounced Twickenham Mine, was approvedin <strong>2001</strong> and exploration is now focused onassisting with detailed mine design. At the<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>/ARM Maandagshoek JointVenture, evaluation of the extended resourceand hillside resource continues.70


An intensive programme of drilling wasalso established at <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’sproperties south of Steelpoort.In the Western Bushveld, a programmeof exploration for assessment of themerits of Phase II of Rustenburg’s UG2development was established.

R E V I E W O F O P E R A T I O N S(continued)Sustainable DevelopmentSafety and Health ReviewDuring <strong>2001</strong> a series of initiatives was putin place to improve safety performance.All business units re-assessed their safetymanagement systems and effected changeswhere, with hindsight, weaknesses wereidentified. At the highest level, this reassessmentwas manifest in a “SafetyRejuvenation” workshop: all managersre-confirmed their commitment to safetyimprovement and action.To assist in these endeavours, the servicesof an ex-Principal Inspector of Mines fromthe UK were commissioned. Two weeks ofinspections and discussions with managers,employees, unions and associations resultedin a report highlighting both the good and thebad. Each business unit is now addressing allrecommendations. The entire process will berepeated in mid-2002.Despite these and other intensive efforts,22 tragic fatalities occurred in <strong>2001</strong>. TheGroup is however determined that itsinitiatives must lead to business unitsbecoming zero-fatality operations, with losttimeinjury frequency rates in line with orbetter than world best practice for miningoperations.In May <strong>2001</strong>, the Group Safety, Health andEnvironmental Policy was authorised, anall-embracing document in line with that of<strong>Anglo</strong> American plc. With reference tothe provisions of the Mine Health and SafetyAct, a Group Safety and Health Strategy wasalso authorised and all business units(including the Process Division) will have theirinternal policies and programmes alignedwith these Corporate directives.The <strong>Anglo</strong> American plc Safety, Health andEnvironment database has become an integralpart of all programmes. As this database isnow the source of all data, this annual reviewnow quotes information in internationallyrecognised formats, but recognises that itwill take a few years before interested readerswill be able to comment meaningfullyon trends. In the interim, comment asappropriate will be made by <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>.Data will continue to be sent to theDepartment of Minerals and Energy inline with legislative requirements, butpublic reporting will now be relative toadenominator of 200 000 hours(equivalent to the approximate annualnumber of hours worked by 100 persons).During the year under review, IRCA/BSiQuality Services conducted assessmentsat seven business units. Their purpose wasto review the safety and risk controlmanagement systems with referenceto the international CAP standards.Three business units achieved Level 4gradings, three achieved Level 3 gradingsand one a Level 2 grading – a Level 5 gradingbeing the highest grading possible. PMR wasaudited by NOSA and maintained a 5-stargrading and NOSCAR status.72


The <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> Behaviour Based Safety Process was launched in December <strong>2001</strong>, with aproject roll-out plan of 18 months. This is an intense mindset change process that is largelyemployee-driven and aimed at bringing about a significant change in safety performance.To meet emergency and appropriate medical surveillance requirements of all employees in theexpanding Group, occupational health services are being augmented. New regulations on noiseinducedhearing loss will be implemented during 2002.SAFETYPeriod Number of Fatality Lost-timefatalities rate* injury rate+*Year ended 31 December <strong>2001</strong> 22 0,03 2,5†Year ended 31 December 2000 23 0,04 3,8* per 200 000 hours worked+≥ 1 day definition† Includes MaandagshoekSafety statistics include all contractors’ safety performance73


R E V I E W O F O P E R A T I O N S(continued)Sustainable DevelopmentEnvironmental ReviewPOLICYThe Group’s environmental policy wasincorporated into a single Safety, Healthand Environmental policy during <strong>2001</strong>.Each business unit performed a self-assessmentof its environmental performance againstthe eight management principles containedin the SHE Policy. A similar assessment wasconducted in 2000. The results are illustratedin the chart below.Level of implementation4,03,53,02,52,01,51,00,50,0CommitmentGroup compliance with eachmanagement principleCompetenceRisk assessmentPreventionand controlPerformanceEvaluation2000 <strong>2001</strong>StakeholderengagementContinualimprovementApart from commitment, which remainedvirtually unchanged, compliance with theother principles increased during the year.COMMITMENTMost business units have allocated adequateresources to manage their environmentalimpacts, but three must still improve theirdedicated human resources. Environmentalofficers will be appointed at these businessunits early in 2002. A regional environmentaldepartment was established for the Rustenburgoperations during <strong>2001</strong>. The Group’sEnvironmental Consultant ensuresthat environmental policy and objectives areimplemented across the Group, thatenvironmental aspects are properly addressedin new projects and acts in an advisory andcoordinating capacity. The Safety, Health andEnvironmental Committee of the Board –chaired by the <strong>Anglo</strong> American plc TechnicalDirector – was established during the year.COMPETENCEThere has been a significant improvement inenvironmental competence throughout theGroup, mostly because of the appointmentof highly competent environmental personnelduring the year. Environmental training andawareness at all levels must however stillimprove before compliance with this principle issatisfactory.RISK ASSESSMENTAll business units have EnvironmentalManagement Programme Reports (EMPRs), asrequired and approved by the Department ofMinerals and Energy (DME). They containcomprehensive environmental impact assessments,as well as environmental managementplans to mitigate negative impacts. There is astatutory obligation on all business units withapproved EMPRs to implement theseenvironmental management plans.All expansion projects under construction alsohave approved EMPRs.EMPRs are regularly amended and updated toensure that environmental risks are reassessedand that management plans remain relevant.PREVENTION AND CONTROLEnvironmental management plans, ascontained in the EMPRs, are beingimplemented at all business units.<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> has also committed74


itself to ISO 14001 certification by end-2004, key elements of which are prevention of pollutionand control of impacts. BRPM is leading the way in this regard and will apply for certification earlyin 2002. All other business units have completed the initial review required by ISO 14001.PERFORMANCEEnvironmental parameters from the business units are consolidated and transformed into keyperformance indicators, listed in the table below. They will become more accurate over timeas the accuracy of the absolute figures improves and will be used to set Group-wide targets.It is recognised that the usage of “per ton milled” as the divisor has certain shortcomings,especially since downstream activities such as smelting and refining add to the environmentalburden but not to the divisor.Key environmental performance indicators<strong>2001</strong> 2000 1999 1998 1997Land utilisation (% land utilised/landunder company charge) 13 11 16 16 15Water supply (m 3 /ton milled) 1,17 1,08 1,32 1,14 1,11Effluent discharged (m 3 /ton milled) 0,09 0,09 * * *Energy efficiency (GJ/ton milled) 0,63 0,66 0,63 0,58 0,57Greenhouse emissions (kg CO 2 /ton milled) 11,21 12,29 9,19 6,27 5,11Greenhouse emissions (kg CO 2 /ton milled)from electricity purchased 106,43 n/m† n/m† n/m† n/m†Sulphur dioxide emissions (kg/ton milled) 2,26 2,03 3,38 2,54 2,73Particulate emissions-point sources(kg/ton milled) 0,20 0,20 0,07 0,42 0,41* reliable figures not available† not measured75


R E V I E W O F O P E R A T I O N S(continued)Sustainable DevelopmentEnvironmental ReviewEnvironmental incidentsThe following environmental incidents wererecorded during <strong>2001</strong>.Environmental incidents<strong>2001</strong>Level 1 (minor impact) 337Level 2 (intermediate impact) 8Level 3 (major impact) 0Legal complianceEnvironmental registers, to enable compliancewith environmental laws and regulations, arein place at business units.Acid plant operational problems and ceramicfilter candle failures at the Waterval Smeltercaused it to transgress its Scheduled ProcessRegistration Certificate during the year. This ledto emissions of sulphur dioxide and particulatesin excess of permit conditions. The relevantauthorities, as well as local communities, werekept abreast of the problems and efforts toimprove the situation. The new state-of-the-artACP project, which is being constructed at theWaterval Smelter, will ensure that the Smelterwill remain within its permit conditions.Commissioning will commence in the secondquarter of 2002.<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> is not aware of any pendingenvironmental litigation and no fines orpenalties have been imposed during <strong>2001</strong>for non-compliance with environmentalregulations and permits. Any infringementsof permits are reported to the relevantregulators and corrective action is takenas soon as practicable in all circumstances.EVALUATIONAudits and assessmentsEnvironmental audits and performanceassessments are key elements of evaluatingenvironmental performance. <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>uses a mix of in-house audits and externalauditors to assess its environmentalperformance. As the environmental audit andassessment programme stretches over twoyears, it is appropriate to give an overview forboth 2000 and <strong>2001</strong>.Audits and assessmentsBusiness unit Internal Externalassessments assessments<strong>2001</strong> 2000 <strong>2001</strong> 2000RustenburgUnion √ √Amandelbult √ √BRPM √ √√PPRust √ √LeplatsWatervalRBMRPMR √ √The above assessments and audits includestatutory EMPR Performance Assessments interms of Regulation 108 of the Minerals Act,legal compliance audits as well as IRCA andMARSH audits where applicable and the initialreviews in terms of ISO 14001 implementation.Formal reports with findings and recommendationswere compiled for each assessment.ReportsEnvironmental reports are compiled on aquarterly basis. A consolidated environmentalreport is given to the Group SHE Manager forconsolidation into the quarterly SHE Report,which is distributed to the <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> Boardand to the <strong>Anglo</strong> American plc SHE Policy Unit.√√√76


STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENTStakeholder engagement remains a key activityfor <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> in its environmentalefforts. Stakeholders are engaged throughcomprehensive public participation processesduring the development stages of all majorcapital projects.Public consultation processes for thefollowing new projects were conducted orcommenced during <strong>2001</strong>:● The new mine at Twickenham,Hackney and Paschaskraal in theLimpopo Province● The Union Section UG2 project● The planned Styldrift expansion of BRPM● The new smelter near Polokwane● The planned expansion of PMROngoing liaison with stakeholders inrespect of the construction of the ACPproject and the Rustenburg SectionWaterval UG2 project was also maintainedduring <strong>2001</strong> through EnvironmentalForum meetings and site visits.CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENTThe following is of note:● The construction of the ACP at theWaterval Smelter continued during <strong>2001</strong>.The commissioning of the first phase of theproject will commence during the secondquarter of 2002. It will reduce the smelter’ssulphur dioxide emissions from around 130to less than 20 tons per day.● Continued phyto-remediation of nickelcontaminatedsoil at RBMR with the plantberkheya coddii.● Frequent failures of ceramic filter candles,which capture the particulate emissionsfrom the Waterval Smelter furnace off-gases,was a major cause of concern. The problemwas however rectified by retrofitting theceramic filter installation with redesignedcandle exhaust systems.● Emissions to air, land and water continued tobe monitored and the data generated areused to demonstrate legal compliance,determine impacts and plan appropriateremediation programmes.FINANCIAL PROVISION FORREHABILITATIONThe accumulated funds in the<strong>Platinum</strong> Producers’ Trust Fund at31 December <strong>2001</strong> amounted toR69,5 million. These funds will be usedfor rehabilitation and associatedenvironmental costs at mine closure.The total estimated present value of theliability as at 31 December <strong>2001</strong> wasR174,3 million, consisting ofR113,4 million decommissioning costsand R60,9 million restoration costs.The shortfall is funded by ongoingannual contributions.AWARDS<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> won two gold awards inthe KPMG Sustainability ReportingSurvey for the Best SustainabilityReporting in Annual Reports for boththe Mining Section and Overall.77


R E V I E W O F O P E R A T I O N S(continued)Sustainable DevelopmentCorporate Social InvestmentANGLO AMERICAN CORPORATIONCHAIRMAN’S FUNDIn <strong>2001</strong>, R31,4 million was donatedto the <strong>Anglo</strong> American Corporation’sChairman’s Fund, a dedicated instrumentthrough which <strong>Anglo</strong> American plc (ultimatemajority shareholder of <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>)distributes its social investment nationally.Its mandate is to support initiatives aimedat bringing new hope and opportunityto South Africa’s disadvantaged communitiesand provides funding support for varioussocially constructive programmes.The diversity of the sectors supported by thefund is in recognition of the diverse andvaried social and economic needs facingSouth Africa.The fund believes that people “acting witha social purpose” are the most effectivechange agents in society. Although theefforts are often small and isolated,viewed collectively they represent apowerful web of progress. The individualcharacter of the social spending of thefund is more dynamic than many largeramounts devoted to undifferentiatedprogrammes of mass delivery and is apractical illustration of how targetedassistance to people making a differencecan bring real and lasting change. A largeproportion of the Chairman’s Fund ischannelled towards the three key sectorsof education, health and welfare.BUSINESS TRUSTA further demonstration of <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’scommitment to assisting development inSouth Africa is its five-year commitment tothe Business Trust, to which it contributesR7 million annually. This concerted andcoordinated effort of South Africancorporations and other stakeholders focuseson the joint efforts of business, labourand Government to address povertyand crime through education andjob creation initiatives.Some of the Business Trust initiatives areevident in many sectors where humancapacity development, job creation,primary school repeater rate andsecondary school quality of results haveimproved. Other improvements broughtabout by the Business Trust are in theareas of tourism marketing, enterprisedevelopment and crime reduction.The Group’s contribution to suchprogrammes demonstrates its commitmentto sustainable development in tri-sectorpartnerships of Government, businessand society.PROGRAMMESEach <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> operation is awareof its responsibility towards society andthe environment in which it operates.In the spirit of Ubuntu (African humanism),business units have developed plans with keystakeholders, including Government and local78


communities, to address development issuesin an integrated manner. Programmes andprojects focus strongly on education,infrastructure development, health, jobcreation and access to basic needs,empowering communities to manage theirown development and removing dependency.An annual total of R16 million is allocated tothese programmes.EDUCATIONThe <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> Schools Project isnow in its eleventh year. The objectivesare to develop centres of excellence inschools around the operations, developlearners for recruitment purposes andbuild capacity at provincial, regional anddistrict office levels. The project hasachieved improvements in the quality ofmatriculation results, managerialcapacity at school level and access tocompetent youth for recruitmentpurposes, reaching 17 000 learners,600 teachers and four district offices.The results of the project are not onlynoticeable by an improvement in thepercentage pass rates and increase in numberof learners taking key subjects, but also in theoverall change in management style atschools. It is pleasing to see that a culture oflearning is (albeit slowly) returning to schoolsravaged by past policies.Closer understanding of Governmentplanning makes it easier for business to assisteffectively and leverage funding. <strong>Anglo</strong><strong>Platinum</strong> therefore remains represented onthe North West and Limpopo ProvincialEducation Trusts.Expansions on the Eastern Limb have led tothe award of bursaries to select promisingyoungsters living in the vicinity of the newMaandagshoek operation. This programmeis funded jointly with ARM and willimmediately provide the opportunityfor quality education for these learners.It will also provide a recruitment base forfuture operations and improve the qualityof education in broader society for enhancedsocial and economic development.In addressing both skills developmentand training for out-of-school youthand poverty levels, the Group supportsa number of training initiatives aimedat developing marketable skills.The programmes are specifically gearedtowards each business unit and the strengthsand opportunities within it.On-site training of 30 youths at BRPM in an“addicted to business” programme is provinga worthwhile pilot project for providingquality education. The harsh realities of theeconomic world are brought to life in thisdynamic learning environment, presentingopportunities for self-discovery and a realisticunderstanding of the role of the youth inbroader society.A platinum non-fiction book was developed in<strong>2001</strong> and will be released into schoolsas an additional learning resource, explainingthe processes and uses of platinum.79


R E V I E W O F O P E R A T I O N S(continued)Sustainable DevelopmentCorporate Social InvestmentThe Tsholofelo Community College andthe Leplats multi-purpose centre, funded bythe Group, continue to provide much neededskills training in line with realistic workopportunities.BASIC NEEDS AND INFRASTRUCTURE<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> supports projects thataddress the most basic needs of water andsanitation access, particularly in the remoteareas in which it operates that are not yetserviced by government agencies.The Group assisted 15 schools withconstruction and extensive renovations.This, coupled with management intervention,ensured that the improved facilities candevelop into meaningful institutions. The aimis to provide learners with an opportunity fora better education and future.A pilot project of gravel road constructionand maintenance was started at Leplats in<strong>2001</strong>. The first group of unemployed peoplewas trained and is now working on a 5 kmsection of gravel road from the mine to thevillage. This initiative could prove a model forjob creation as a public works programme.HEALTHThe HIV/AIDS pandemic is dealt with morethoroughly under the HIV/AIDS section.<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> also continues to ensure thatcommunities around each operation haveaccess to primary health care. In Rustenburg,two mobile clinics are now operational,serving informal settlements in particular.JOB CREATIONOne of South Africa’s greatest challengesis its high level of unemployment.The Group has become involved invarious programmes, with stakeholderparticipation, delivering skills developmentrelevant to work opportunities. The focus ison developing skills that often result in microenterprises, such as juice-making, and thosewith the potential to become small to mediumenterprises. The support of subsistencegrowers and farmers continues, with a viewto increasing self-reliance in communities.In order to enhance local platinumbeneficiation, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> supportsthe Technikon Pretoria platinummanufacturing and design workshop and theshowpiece annual PlatAfrika awards function.Although not its core function, the Group hasallocated R2 million to the establishment ofa platinum jewellery marketing company.The objective of this project is to providea coordinated approach to the opportunitiessurrounding the export of finished platinumjewellery products into key internationalmarkets. Although still at project set-upphase, this has the potential of adding furthervalue to South Africa’s raw materials.80


SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTThe identification of businessopportunities and the subsequentestablishment of businesses are well ontrack. Business unit management isactively assisting in identifying businessopportunities that are then madeavailable to individuals from previouslydisadvantaged communities. Zimele(a wholly-owned <strong>Anglo</strong> American plccompany) assists with funding andmanagement of these ventures.A number of these businesses, rangingfrom cleaning, salvage and scrapmanagement to a concrete batchingfacility, are successfully renderingvaluable services and products to businessunits as well as other businesses in theirareas. A number of joint venturesaccommodating black (not less than 40%equity) and white entrepreneurs have alsoseen the light of day. The activeinvolvement of entrepreneurs in thesebusinesses is key to their success.Maandagshoek, Twickenham and thePolokwane Smelter projects renderideal opportunities for local blackeconomic empowerment.PROCUREMENT AND OUTSOURCING INTHE PROMOTION OF BLACK BUSINESS<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’s objective is to enhanceits competitiveness and profitability, whilefacilitating the creation of new wealthwithin less privileged sectors of thecommunity in a self-financing andsustainable manner. All proposals arecarefully considered and analysedaccording to strict commercial viabilityand sustainability criteria.It is the Group’s intention to increasethe amount of trade conducted bybusiness units with small and mediumenterprises and business units will,with the assistance of the BusinessDevelopment Officer, set annual targetsin this regard. Progress is also beingmade at Maandagshoek and all possiblenew business opportunities are beingexplored. In excess of R150 million wasspent with suppliers from previouslydisadvantaged groupings in theprocurement and outsourcing of noncoreactivities in <strong>2001</strong>.81


R E V I E W O F O P E R A T I O N S(continued)Human Resources ReviewSTRATEGY IMPLEMENTATIONA progressive human resource (HR) strategy,launched in <strong>2001</strong>, is being implemented withsignificant success. Consistency and synergyin the application of HR systems and processesGroup-wide have led to pro-activity and bestpractice approaches, which in turn have resultedin stable employee relations and better humancapital performance. The major focus areashave been employee relations, performancemanagement, HR development, safety, skillsacquisition and retention as well as systemsand processes which enhance HR best practice.TRANSFORMATION TRAININGSenior and middle managers at most of thebusiness units underwent transformationtraining, with particular focus on managingdiversity, teamwork and performance optimisation.The success of these programmes hasencouraged the Group to cascade them tolower levels of the organisation in order toderive maximum benefit from these interventionsand create a formidable sustainableplatform for superior performance.EMPLOYEE RELATIONSA collective effort during <strong>2001</strong> helpedestablish a firm foundation for building longlastingand sustainable employee relations.In conjunction with recognised unions andassociations, a joint forum was established,resulting in a new unprecedented ER Policythat entrenches partnership structures and asingle collective bargaining forum acceptableto all parties. The essential features of the newER Policy are:● Inclusive partnership structures atbusiness unit, regional and central levels;● One collective bargaining forum in whichall qualifying unions and associationsparticipate;● A joint steering committee that addressesstrategic operational matters as well asbroader socio-economic issues facing theGroup and its stakeholders;● It replaces a number of incongruenthistorical recognition agreements andserves as the primary document regulatingcollective relationships; and● It significantly enhances proactive jointproblem-solving, prevention and resolutionand promotes constructive engagementinstead of the traditional reactive conflictproneapproach.The policy was finalised through negotiationand consultation between the Group, unionsand associations, who worked relentlessly tofind common ground regardless of their owninterests. This spirit permeated all dealingsbetween the parties and contributed to aremarkable reduction in industrial actionduring <strong>2001</strong>.HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENTHuman resource development (HRD) is a corecomponent of <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’s HR andbusiness strategy. The HRD plans arecontinuously integrated with the businessplan, assessed, reviewed and revised, coveringshort-, medium- and long-term humancapital development commitments of theorganisation.The role of the <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> DevelopmentCentre (ADC) and the HRD functions at allbusiness units is critical. The Groupcontinuously reviews its endeavours to keepabreast of developments; for example: twoindependent audits were conducted during<strong>2001</strong> focusing on safety, training andunderground training; the positive outcomesof the audits are currently being integratedwith the HRD operational plans for 2002.The HRD strategy and practices are fullycompliant with current legislation and <strong>Anglo</strong><strong>Platinum</strong> qualified for the full rebatepertaining to the approval of the WorkplaceSkills Plan and Annual Training Report for82


the period April 2000 to March <strong>2001</strong>. TheWorkplace Skills Plan for the period April <strong>2001</strong>to March 2002 was submitted on time andapproved by the authorities.<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> purchased the RandfonteinbasedEngineering Skills Training Centre (ESTC)in 2000. Not only has this acquisition resultedin a reduced cost of engineering skills training(mainly as a result of the income generated byselling excess capacity), but it has begun toshow benefits in the development ofengineering skills for new operations. Thisfacility is also an important feeder for theGroup’s expansion labour requirements.The quality of service provided by the ESTCcontinues to be highly regarded in the industry;its performance in terms of pass rates exceedsthe industry average by a large margin. Inaddition, utilisation of the facility increasedmarkedly during <strong>2001</strong>.The <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> Bursary Scheme, which ismanaged by the ADC, serves to feed highcalibre,appropriately qualified and competentstaff into the lower professional levels in avariety of occupational disciplines. During<strong>2001</strong>, 66 university graduates and technikondiplomates obtained their academicqualifications under this scheme. The numberof bursars on the scheme has been increasedby 30% to over 350 to cater for brown- andgreenfields skills requirements.The ADC Education Centre has committed itselfto the development and upliftment of allemployees through the delivery of qualityABET programmes, providing learningopportunities that are easy to access, learnercentred,interactive, self-paced and meet thebusiness needs of the Group. Courses areoffered on a full-time and part-time basis andare provided throughout the year.A further highlight was the remarkableachievement of the N3 learners enrolledthrough the ADC Education Centre. They notonly made in-house headlines with their resultsbut obtained the highest marks in the country.The Schools Project also sponsored a coursepresented by the Catholic Institute of Educationand accredited by the University of theWitwatersrand, aimed at enhancing theleadership skills of principals, deputyprincipals, heads of departments through toofficials within the Rustenburg District of theDepartment of Education. The first 25 delegateswere certified in June <strong>2001</strong> in “AdvancedEducational Leadership”.

R E V I E W O F O P E R A T I O N S(continued)Human Resources ReviewEMPLOYMENT EQUITY<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’s first annualemployment equity progress report waspresented to the Department of Labourin <strong>2001</strong>, in accordance with legalrequirements and subsequent toconsultation with recognised unions,associations and other employees.All business units have an employmentequity committee representing managementand employees, which are fullyrepresentative and chaired by thebusiness managers. A similar committeehas been established at Corporate Office.The employment equity committees playa significant role in ensuring the successof the Group’s workplace skills plans.Quarterly progress reports are presentedto the Executive Committee as partof the monitoring process of theGroup’s employment equity policyand procedures.In compliance with Section 22 of theEmployment Equity Act, the table belowsummarises the progress report assubmitted to the Department of Labour,setting out the occupational categoriesas at 31 May <strong>2001</strong> compared to the2005 target.ANGLO PLATINUM EMPLOYMENT EQUITY PLAN31 May <strong>2001</strong> Target 2005Occupational categories White Designated White Designatednumber number % number number %Legislators, senior officialsand managers 442 47 9,6 272 99 26,7Professionals 814 570 41,2 730 497 40,5Technicians and associateprofessionals 400 419 51,2 526 436 45,3Clerks 164 1 169 87,7 378 1 085 74,2Service and sales workers 124 814 86,8 331 390 54,1Skilled agricultural andfishery workers 78 73 48,4 9 89 90,8Craft and related trade workers 1 348 1 400 51,0 824 1 249 60,3Plant and machineoperators and assemblers 475 19 714 97,7 1 620 17 212 91,4Elementary occupations 101 13 762 99,3 1 245 12 506 91,0Total permanent employees 3 946 37 968 90,6 5 935 33 563 85,0Non-permanent employees 41 460 91,8 12 28 70,0Total Group 3 987 38 428 90,6 5 947 33 591 85,0The employment equity policy is a public commitment by <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> to the followingequity principles:● To eliminate unfair discrimination in employment;● To implement affirmative action in the workplace;● To treat all persons equally, fairly and with dignity and respect;● To achieve a diverse, efficient workforce that is representative of the populations in itsoperational areas;● To create opportunities for and remove barriers to HR development;● To involve employees and their representatives in employment equity matters;84


● To comply with legislative requirements;and surrounding communities.competitions, with HIV/AIDS awareness as● To be an effective corporate partner ofcommunities, Government and other socialstakeholders; and● To support the process of employmentequity in its widest form.HIV/AIDS<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> is keenly aware of theenormous human tragedy of the HIV/AIDSpandemic as well as the economic threat thatit poses. The <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> HIV/AIDSProgramme was launched in 1998 to protectthe Group and its stakeholders throughthe prevention and management ofHIV/AIDS, both at its operations andtheir surrounding communities.The HIV/AIDS strategy is driven atboth the corporate and the operationallevel and the Group’s progress inimplementing its strategy andplans is the subject of a formalmonthly reporting system.The objectives of the programmeare to minimise the total impact ofthe HIV/AIDS epidemic on the Group andits stakeholders, ensuring the long-termsustainability of its business operations byreducing the infection rate among employeesThe theme for 2002, starting on World AIDSDay (1 December <strong>2001</strong>), is “I Can . . . So CanYou!” a reminder that everyone can dosomething and challenging each person tocommit to action and personal responsibility.HIV/AIDS work is being actively extended intopartnerships with communities. Developmentprojects, which take into account the implicationsof HIV/AIDS, will reduce the spread ofthe disease and minimise its economic andsocial impact. Collaboration and partnershipsare central to a sustained response. To thisend, the HIV/AIDS programme is closelylinked with Corporate SocialInvestment and other communityprogrammes to provide a concertedand coordinated response to thepandemic.<strong>2001</strong> saw the development of acomprehensive peer educatortraining and managementprogramme, which is beingimplemented throughout theGroup and via community projects. Thepeer educator programme is the foundation ofall education endeavours. Othercommunication efforts have included largeevents such as family days and footballthe central theme. These efforts will continue.<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> engages with a number ofrole players, notably the Departments ofHealth of the Limpopo and the North Westprovinces. Collaborative interventions havealso been engaged in with other mininghouses and NGOs operating within thesame regions.HIV/AIDS: Overall Programme Objective:To minimise the total impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on the Group and its stakeholders, and to ensure thelong-term sustainability of its business operationsCo-operation withOther RoleplayersCommunity Projects:Support EpidemicImpact Containment● Condoms● Treating SexuallyTransmittedDiseases (STDs)● Communicationand educationSupport welfareof stakeholdersResearch andSharing Experience:Support Living withAIDS● TreatmentSupport ProgrammeDevelopment andRenewal● Best PracticeBusiness InterventionsPrevalenceTesting andModellingCost ofHIV/AIDSSocial andGeographicAssessmentProgrammeDevelopmentand RenewalEconomic ImpactContainmentEpidemic ImpactContainmentLiving with AIDSCommunicationand EducationImplement BestPractice● RestructuringBenefits● Reducingabsenteeism● Performancemonitoring● Recruitmentand Training● Mechanism● Condoms● Treating SexuallyTransmittedDiseases (STDs)● Voluntary Testingand Counselling● Treatment● Support● Awareness● Attitude change● BehaviourchangePlanReportEnsure ProfitabilitySave LivesExtend WellnessSupport AllInitiativesImplementMonitorSustainablebusinessoperationsMinimiseimpact onstakeholders85


R E V I E W O F O P E R A T I O N S(continued)Human Resources ReviewFINANCIAL MODELLINGand production efficiencies. Focusedearly identification and so the Group hasThe objectives of theHIV AIDSprogramme are tominimise the total impactof the epidemic on theGroup and itsstakeholders.<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> manages a detailed impactassessment programme that seeks to quantifythe effects of the disease on its operations.Prevalence testing is the most reliable methodof establishing the spread of the disease withsome certainty. Early indications at theoperations where anonymous prevalencetesting has taken place show a weightedaverage 22% prevalence within the workforce.Test results are imported into a financial model,while continuous social and geographicalassessment studies are undertaken to facilitatethe decision-making process and to focus theinterventions. The model addresses the costsassociated with absenteeism, loss of production,shifts lost, medical treatment, death in serviceand other factors. At present, it indicates aprojected HIV/AIDS cost to the Group ofR75,7 million in 2002. The loss of staff dueto the disease is expected to be less than 4%per annum, peaking in 2006. The model alsoprovides a clear indication of the need forspecific interventions such as treatment,recruiting and training.Strategic interventionsEconomic impact containmentHIV/AIDS impacts absenteeism, recruitmentand training, medical costs, employee benefitseducation interventions are in place tocontrol these factors and medical costs will bereduced through the recent creation of aHealth Maintenance Organisation.Epidemic impact containmentOngoing interventions include education andthe promotion and provision of condoms.A major thrust for 2002 will be the initiationof regional campaigns to prevent or treatsexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Thesewill be conducted as regional joint ventures,incorporating the <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> workforce,communities in the vicinity of operations andother regional stakeholders. They will beconducted according to the WHO and UNAIDSstandards, which have proved that reducingSTDs is instrumental in preventing HIVincidence; <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> and otherstakeholders aim to capitalise on thisexperience. Projects will include education;treatment; social upliftment; voluntary testingand counselling; and wellness programmes.Living with HIV<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> recognises that, withappropriate interventions, people with HIVcan significantly extend their wellness periodsand longevity, continuing to lead healthy andproductive lives. Early intervention requiresentered an arrangement with the counsellingNGO, Lifeline, to provide a service to allemployees and an opportunity to be tested forHIV. Another major thrust for 2002 will bethe provision of a comprehensive wellnessprogramme that will expand current healthservices by providing employees with theknowledge and skills they need to changetheir lifestyles.PROGRAMME DEVELOPMENT AND RENEWALThe HIV/AIDS team continues to researchand implement best practice to energise theHIV/AIDS programme, which has beenenriched through the recruitment of a fulltimeprofessional HIV/AIDS programmemanager. <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong> is confident that itsinterventions can effectively manage theimpact of HIV/AIDS on its people and thecommunities within which it operates.STAFFING FOR EXPANSIONS<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’s business strategy is toincrease Group production from a base of 2,0to 3,5 million annual ounces of platinum by2006. To produce the additional metal, anumber of new mines and concentrators arecurrently in the pipeline. The challenge to theHR function is to supply adequate competentlabour timeously for the planned expansions.86


Despite productivity improvement measures,including increased mechanisation of existingoperations, it has become clear that highturnover rates – exacerbated by the impactof HIV/AIDS – will limit the availability ofsurplus labour from current operations forexpansion projects.Expansion projects will create approximately13 000 new positions between 2002 and2006. This will create special challenges forrecruitment, training and development.For this purpose a Group HR plan has beendevised. A specialist recruitment functionhas been established to support the ProjectsDivision, allowing a sustainable, quality buildupof labour and an employment vehicle,<strong>Platinum</strong> Mines Expansion Services (Pty) Ltd,has been created. This will allow expansionstaff to be recruited and trained in advanceand for related costs to be capitalised. TheHR plan similarly addressses competencyrequirements for brownfields operations.The HRD function has an important role toplay in the development of skills at all levelsthrough special training interventions andthrough various trainee schemes. An HRDmanager has been appointed in the ProjectsDivision for this purpose.Local recruitment, high unemployment,community expectations and other sociopoliticalfactors lead to the need for innovativeapproaches to recruitment practices andHRD. Technologically advanced miningmethods and equipment require higher skillsand competency levels and the screening ofpotential staff has consequently become evermore stringent. A result of this process is thateducation levels at new operations are invariablymuch higher than at existing operations.An important aspect of HRD is the identificationof potential employees at schools,colleges and universities and the Group hasestablished relations with such institutions.Trainees from other <strong>Anglo</strong> American plcdivisions have assisted in increasing thegraduate feedstock to <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>.The intake of trainees for expansions will bestaggered in line with project build-ups and thelength of required training periods. This processrequires careful planning and will addresstraining infrastructure and HRD capacity,both at business unit level and centrally.The need for a Development and EngineeringSkills Training Centre on the Eastern Limbhas been identified, as has the need forsmaller on-mine facilities and undergroundtraining sections. The former is still in itsconceptual phase, whilst the latter alreadyforms part of the planning of new businesses.REMUNERATION MANAGEMENTThe total package remuneration approachwas successfully introduced in <strong>2001</strong> for allfirst-line to senior executive managementlevels. This has simplified labour costing andlabour market benchmarking processes, thusproviding more reliable information.A new core conditions of employment templatewas developed and is now available on theGroup’s intranet, providing on-line and ontimeguidance for the equitable and consistentapplication of core conditions of employmentacross the Group. The design of a new jobgradingsystem, acceptable to all parties, hasbeen concluded jointly with unions andassociations. Implementation of this systemwill take place during 2002. An annual reviewof the Company’s incentive scheme wasconducted successfully with all unions andassociations. It was pleasing to see most businessunits qualify for incentive payments followinggood performances in <strong>2001</strong>. In addition, aplatinum bonus was declared by the ExecutiveCommittee following financial performancethat exceeded the predetermined target.87


R E V I E W O F O P E R A T I O N S(continued)Breakthrough/Continuous Business ImprovementSince its initiation in1996, Breakthrough hashelped engineer numerouschanges to the structures,systems and businessprocesses of the Group.The Group-wide business improvementinitiative is known as Breakthrough, the roleof which is to provide a platform thatfacilitates and champions the developmentand implementation of business optimisationprogrammes across the Group that will assistthe operations to achieve and then exceedtheir business goals.Since its initiation in 1996, Breakthrough hashelped engineer numerous changes to thestructures, systems and business processesof the Group, including the establishmentof business units and business areas.During <strong>2001</strong>, Breakthrough was enhanced toreflect prevailing business challenges and thefollowing four thrusts have been adopted:● Mechanised mining methods;● Mining optimisation;● Concentrator optimisation; and● People optimisation.MECHANISED MININGWhere appropriate, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’s objectiveis to employ mining and logistical processes thatare continuous, fully mechanised and ideallynon-explosive, resulting in quantum improvementsin safety, productivity and profitability.Following a detailed review of the mechanisationeffort in mid-<strong>2001</strong>, the previous MiningTechnology Division was incorporated intoBreakthrough under a new organisationalstructure that is centred on a series oftechnology streams, each to be headed bya Programme Manager.The focus is on developing and implementinga suite of appropriate technologies at new andexisting sites, incorporating examples from thefollowing programme streams:● Stope drill-rigs, new explosives and cleaningsystems and long-hole stoping;● Bord and pillar and trackless mechanisedmining systems;The development and introduction of stopedrill-rigs and new blasting and cleaning systemscontinued to receive significant attentionthroughout the Group during <strong>2001</strong>. Drill-rigsand bord and pillar mining methods are readyfor selective, appropriate implementation.All available technologies associated withrock-splitting (low-energy rock-breaking)are undergoing underground evaluation atAmandelbult.The development of new roof-support systemsfor both trackless and conventional miningreceives high priority and will help lead toimproved operator safety as one of the benefitsof mechanisation.In the UG2 rock-cutting programme, theoscillating-disc cutting equipment isundergoing field trials, while the activated-disccutting system is being evaluated in full-scaleunderground production trials at TownlandsShaft, Rustenburg Section.A permanent structure, under the DivisionalDirector: Breakthrough, is responsible formanaging these focus areas and reports to theChief Operating Officer and the ExecutiveCommittee.● Stope face rock-cutting;● Rapid development advance;● Logistics (ore transport); and● Communications and informationtechnology.In the field of rapid development advance,combined drilling/blasting/cleaning systemsare being developed. Other focus areas includetunnel-boring, mechanised box-hole developmentand multi-purpose development machines.88


Logistics (ore transport) and communicationsform an integral part of mining technologyand are being developed in parallel with theprogrammes above.The target is for 15% of mining production tobe mechanised by the end of 2002.MINING OPTIMISATION<strong>2001</strong> saw the establishment of a dedicatedcentral team, whose role is to co-ordinate andmanage the reintroduction of best practiceacross the Group using dedicated on-sitemining optimisation teams.The process includes an in-depth assessmentof infrastructure, systems and skills, followedby an intensive period of re-equipping (wherenecessary) and training in the working place.The initial results have been encouraging andoutput and productivity increases have beenachieved by the pilot teams.CONCENTRATOR OPTIMISATIONThis initiative was launched in November<strong>2001</strong> after an extensive ‘discovery’ phase ateach of the twelve concentrators withinthe Group.Many opportunities to improve the quality ofboth output and recoveries were highlighted.A project team leader was appointed anda Concentrator Technical Committee wasestablished; they will oversee the developmentand introduction of bestpractice in a manner similarto that of the miningoptimisation programme.PEOPLE OPTIMISATIONNew HR policies and systemshave been developed and arenow being implemented at theoperations. Breakthrough isalso engaged in thedevelopment andimplementation of an HRplan aimed at ensuringdelivery of the competentemployees required at existingand new operations.

This informationis essential for ore reserve quantificationand mine design. Mineralogical instrumentand analytical capacity to undertake thiswork has been increased both at the <strong>Anglo</strong><strong>Platinum</strong> Research Centre (ARC) and atthe <strong>Anglo</strong> American Research Laboratories(AARL).Extensive testwork has also been undertakento characterise the flowsheet performanceof these samples and a new pilot plant wascommissioned at the Divisional MetallurgicalLaboratory (DML). This facility, whichincorporates extensive control instrumentation,is specifically designed to simulate thedesign concepts for both current and futureThe advanced process control groupestablished in 1999 has expanded steadilyand has successfully tested a number ofmill control strategies, which on plantimplementation have resulted in enhancedthroughput. Current research in this area istargeted at the control of flotation operations.The new design of the Amandelbult UG2plant has shown significant benefit in PGMrecovery during operation. This demonstratesclearly the value derived from the researchand development and fundamental understandingof the surface chemistry phenomena,coupled with on-plant optimisation anddevelopment.Fundamental studies continue to gain a basicunderstanding of the process mechanismsand are focused on chromite control inflotation concentrates, which has beena constraint on smelter performance.on funds applied was achieved via activetechnical and management participation withthe Australian Minerals Industry ResearchAssociation (AMIRA) as well as withuniversities in the UK, North America,Australia and South Africa. This ensuresGroup access to international best practice.The converter pilot plant completed itstestwork and development phase during theyear, resulting in significant development ofnew control strategies and methods whichhave been incorporated into the design of theACP Plant in Rustenburg. This pilot plant willsupport the commissioning and optimisationof the ACP project.Pilot facilities were commissioned atRBMR based on improved milling andmagnetic separation processes for theMagnetic Concentration (MC) Plantdeveloped at ARC.90


Refining research and developmentcontinued both at ARC and at theJohnson Matthey Technology Centre(JMTC) in the UK. This work continued tofocus on long-term refining technologydevelopments, as well as the requirementsfor expansion. Alternative solventextraction circuit configurations weretested to allow enhanced throughput inthe plants at the PMR. Flowsheetimprovements to rhodium extraction tobe incorporated into the PMR expansionwere also tested. The combined effect ofthese will be to enhance further PMR’sefficiency and performance.Testwork to support the expansionrequirements of RBMR continued inconjunction with AARL.The development of robotics to automatethe labour-intensive analysis of concentratorprocess control samples continued and thistechnology is incorporated in the ACPflowsheet. These developments are essentialto support the advanced process controlsystems for concentrators and to unlock thepotential demonstrated by this work on aGroup-wide basis.Improved analytical techniques developed atARC were introduced aimed at enhancedaccuracy and turnaround times.ARC continues to be the source of Grouptechnical excellence and provides a pivotalrole in the technical training and developmentof metallurgical and chemical staff.

R E V I E W O F O P E R A T I O N S(continued)Glossary of Terms: OperationsARISINGS: The valuable product after a stagein processing.BENCH: The equivalent of a level in anunderground mine, most noticeable as thestep-like features in any open-pit wall.The open-pit bench height is calculated tomatch the rock strength, pit economics andcapabilities of the open-pit machinery.Typical bench heights in open-pit mines rangefrom 10 to 20 metres.BEST CUT: The optimum stoping width formining of the reef at prevailing metal pricesand costs.BUILT-UP HEAD GRADE: The total 4E gramsproduced from the concentrating processfrom concentrate, metallics (where applicable)and tailings divided by the total tons milled.See definition of 4E below.CONCENTRATING: This is the process ofseparating milled ore into a waste stream(tailings) and a valuable mineral stream(concentrate) by the flotation operation.The valuable minerals in the concentratecontain almost all the base metal and preciousmetal minerals; these minerals are treatedfurther by the smelting and refining processesto obtain the pure metals (PGMs, Ni and Cu).DECLINE: A generic term used to describe ashaft at an inclination below the horizontal andusually at the same angle as the dip of the reef.DEVELOPMENT: Any tunnelling operationthat has for its object either exploration orexploitation.FACE ADVANCE: The average distance thestope face advances per month. A measure ofresource utilisation.FLOTATION: In the flotation process, milledore mixed with water or pulp is passedthrough a series of agitated tanks. Variouschemicals are added to the pulp in sequenceto render the valuable minerals hydrophobic(water repellent) and the non-valuableminerals hydrophilic (water loving). Air isdispersed throughout the agitated tanks andrises to the surface. The hydrophobic particlesattach to the rising air bubbles and areremoved from the main volume of pulp as asoapy froth. In this manner, various combinationsof flotation cells in series are utilised toproduce a concentrated stream of valuablemineral particles called the ‘concentrate’ anda waste pulp stream called ‘tailings’.g/t: Grams per ton. The unit of measurementof grade. One gram per ton is one partper million.103IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE ORE RESERVES:Ground available for mining without anyfurther development.IN SITU: The original, natural state of the orebodybefore mining or processing of the ore takes place.MERENSKY REEF: A band in the Bushveldsequence often containing economic gradesof PGMs. Merensky Reef is the principal reefmined at Rustenburg <strong>Platinum</strong> Mines.MILLING: Process to reduce broken ore to a sizewhere concentrating can be undertaken.MINING AREA: The area for which a miningauthorisation/permission to mine has beengranted.PGM: <strong>Platinum</strong> Group Metals. Six elementalmetals of the platinum group nearly alwaysfound in association with each other. Sometexts refer to PGE – <strong>Platinum</strong> Group Elements.These metals are: platinum, palladium,rhodium, ruthenium, iridium and osmium.PLATREEF: The name of the ore mined atPPRust.STOPING: Operations directly associated withthe extraction of reef.STRIPPING RATIO: The number of units ofunpayable material that must be mined toexpose one unit of ore.


R E V I E W O F O P E R A T I O N S(continued)Glossary of Terms: OperationsSAMREC: The South African MineralResources Committee.SWEEPINGS: The final process in stopingoperations in which the footwall is thoroughlycleaned to remove the last portion of brokenore and fines.TAILINGS: That portion of the ore from whichmost of the valuable material has beenremoved by concentrating and that istherefore low in value and is rejected.TAILINGS GRADE: The 4E content of thetailings produced by the milling andconcentrating processes. When compared tohead grade, it is a measure of the efficiency ofthe concentrating process.TRANSPORT: The moving of broken rock tothe shaft and the transport of men andmaterials to the working faces.UG2: A chromite reef in the Bushveldsequence often containing economic valuesof PGMs.UNOXIDISED ORE: Ore that has not undergonechanges/degradation due to theweathering process close to surface.OXIDISED ORE: Ore that has decomposed byexposure to surface and near-surfaceelements.4E: Four elements. The grade at <strong>Anglo</strong><strong>Platinum</strong> mines is always measured as thecombined content of the four most valuableprecious metals: platinum, palladium,rhodium and gold.RESOURCE DEFINITIONSThe Mineral Resources and Mineral Reservesof the Group are classified, verified andreported in accordance with statutory, stockexchange and industry/professionalguidelines. The classifications are based onthe South African Code (SAMREC) .Reporting is by professionals with appropriateexperience in the estimation, economicevaluation, exploitation and reporting ofMineral Resources and Mineral Reservesrelevant to the various styles ofmineralisation under consideration.The Group’s experience with the various orebodies that it is engaged in evaluating andmining spans decades, resulting in athorough understanding of the factors thatare significant in assessing the economics.It should be noted that where MineralResources and Mineral Reserves are quotedfor the same property, the “Resources” are inaddition to the Mineral Reserves. The reader’s104attention is drawn to the fact that“Resources” are by definition, exclusiveof any diluting materials that might ariseas a consequence of the mining method andspecific geological circumstances applicableto the mining of that resource. “Reserves”,on the other hand, include all suchexpected dilution.A ‘MINERAL RESOURCE’ is a concentration oroccurrence of material of economic interestin or on the Earth’s crust in such formand quantity that there are reasonableand realistic prospects for eventual economicextraction. The location, quantity, grade,continuity and other geologicalcharacteristics of a Mineral Resource areknown, estimated from specific geologicalevidence and knowledge, or interpreted froma well-constrained and portrayed geologicalmodel. Mineral Resources are subdivided, inorder of increasing confidence in respect ofgeoscientific evidence, into Inferred, Indicatedand Measured categories.An ‘INFERRED MINERAL RESOURCE’ is thatpart of a Mineral Resource for which tonnage,grade and mineral content can be estimatedwith a low level of confidence. It is inferredfrom geological evidence and assumed but notverified geological and/or grade continuity.


It is based on information gathered throughappropriate techniques from locations such asoutcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drillholes that may be limited or of uncertainquality and reliability.An ‘INDICATED MINERAL RESOURCE’ is thatpart of a Mineral Resource for which tonnage,densities, shape, physical characteristics,grade and mineral content can be estimatedwith a reasonable level of confidence. It isbased on exploration, sampling and testinginformation gathered through appropriatetechniques from locations such as outcrops,trenches, pits, workings and drill holes. Thelocations are too widely or inappropriatelyspaced to confirm geological and/or gradecontinuity but are spaced closely enough forcontinuity to be assumed.A ‘MEASURED MINERAL RESOURCE’ is thatpart of a Mineral Resource for which tonnage,densities, shape, physical characteristics,grade and mineral content can be estimatedwith a high level of confidence. It is based ondetailed and reliable exploration, samplingand testing information gathered throughappropriate techniques from locations such asoutcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drillholes. The locations are spaced closely enoughto confirm geological and grade continuity.A ‘MINERAL RESERVE’ is the economicallymineable material derived from a Measuredand/or Indicated Mineral Resource. It isinclusive of diluting materials and allows forlosses that may occur when the material ismined. Appropriate assessments, which mayinclude feasibility studies, have been carriedout, including consideration of andmodification by realistically assumed mining,metallurgical, economic, marketing, legal,environmental, social and governmentalfactors. These assessments demonstrate at thetime of reporting that extraction is justifiable.Mineral Reserves are subdivided in order ofincreasing confidence into Probable MineralReserves and Proved Mineral Reserves.A ‘PROBABLE MINERAL RESERVE’ is theeconomically mineable material derived froma Measured and/or Indicated MineralResource. It is estimated with a lower level ofconfidence than a Proved Mineral Reserve.It is inclusive of diluting materials and allowsfor losses that may occur when the material ismined. Appropriate assessments, which mayinclude feasibility studies, have been carriedout, including consideration of andmodification by realistically assumed mining,metallurgical, economic, marketing, legal,environmental, social and governmental105factors. These assessments demonstrate at thetime of reporting that extraction is reasonablyjustified.A ‘PROVED MINERAL RESERVE’ is theeconomically mineable material derived froma Measured Mineral Resource. It is estimatedwith a high level of confidence. It is inclusiveof diluting materials and allows for losses thatmay occur when the material is mined.Appropriate assessments, which may includefeasibility studies, have been carried out,including consideration of and modificationby realistically assumed mining,metallurgical, economic, marketing, legal,environmental, social and governmentalfactors. These assessments demonstrate at thetime of reporting that extraction is reasonablyjustified. <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Platinum</strong>’s “Proved” reservesare contained within the limits of the fiveyearmining plans of its operations, this beingthe area of greatest understanding andcertainty pertaining to the orebody.OPERATIONSThe Group holds mineral rights throughoutthe Bushveld Complex under various titlesthrough its wholly-owned subsidiaries, whichare the operating companies.

The balance of 1 673 400 shares areheld in a wholly-owned subsidiary.GENERAL AUTHORITY TO ACQUIRE SHARESIn terms of Sections 85 and 89 of the Companies Act,a general authority granted by shareholders, undera special resolution, to acquire shares issued by acompany and/or its subsidiaries, is only valid until thenext Annual General Meeting of a company and isrenewable. The Board proposes once again that, at theforthcoming Annual General Meeting to be held onFriday 24 May 2002, shareholders approve a specialresolution whereby a general authority is grantedpermitting the Company and/or any of its subsidiariesto acquire shares in the Company.Recent amendments to the JSE Listings Requirementsnow require that a repurchase of securities beimplemented on the Main Board of the JSE (previouslyrepurchases were required to be made in the openmarket) and permit a company to use derivativetransactions to repurchase securities. The specialresolution contains provision for the Company toconclude derivative transactions which may result inthe acquisition of its shares.As required by the JSE Listings Requirements, theNotice to Members convening the Annual GeneralMeeting contains the required statements by theBoard of its intentions regarding:● the utilisation of the desired general authority, and● the effect of a repurchase of shares up to amaximum of 10% of the Company’s issuedordinary share capital upon the Group’s solvencyand the adequacy of the working capital andordinary capital and reserves during the 12 monthsafter the date of the Notice convening the AnnualGeneral Meeting. The maximum general repurchasepermitted by the JSE Listings Requirements is 20%of the Company’s issued share capital in any onefinancial year.Assuming that the general authority to repurchaseshares is approved at the Annual General Meeting, theBoard believes that, as the Group has accumulated largecash resources, it might be opportune from time totime for the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries toacquire up to a maximum of 10% of the Company’sissued ordinary share capital in the abovementionedtwelve-month period. Accordingly, the proposedgeneral authority provides the Board with flexibilityto acquire shares should it deem such acquisition tobe in the best interests of the Company and the Group.SHARE CAPITALThe authorised and issued share capitals of theCompany at 31 December were as follows:AUTHORISED2000 and <strong>2001</strong>400 000 000 ordinary sharesof 10 cents each R40 000 000ISSUED2000217 012 301 ordinary sharesof 10 cents each R21 701 230<strong>2001</strong>214 095 872 *ordinary sharesof 10 cents each R21 409 587*Net of repurchase of 2 228 267 shares repurchased in theopen market and cancelled prior to 31 December <strong>2001</strong> and1 673 400 shares held by a wholly-owned subsidiary.The unissued ordinary shares are the subject ofa general authority granted to the Directors interms of section 221(3) of the Companies Act.As this general authority remains valid only untilthe next Annual General Meeting, which is to beheld on 24 May 2002, members will be asked atthe meeting to consider an ordinary resolutionplacing the said ordinary shares under thecontrol of the Directors until the 2003 AnnualGeneral Meeting.110

It ensures that theGroup’s business is conducted in accordance withhigh standards of corporate governance and withlocal and internationally accepted corporate practice.These standards are entrenched in the Group’sestablished system of internal control by itsprocedures and its policies governing corporateconduct, with particular emphasis on the importanceof the qualitative aspects of corporate governance.The Directors endorse the Code of Corporate Practicesand Conduct as issued by the King Committee oncorporate governance in 1994 and consider that theGroup complies in all material respects with theprovisions thereof.All the principles underlying the King recommendationsas contained in the Code are reflected in theGroup’s corporate governance structures, which arereviewed from time to time to take into accountorganisational changes and international developmentsin the field of corporate governance. The Companyhas taken cognisance of the recommendations of theKing II draft report on corporate governance and, inanticipation of the release of the final report, haswhere possible improved upon its internal governancestructures. It is the policy of the Board andmanagement to actively review and enhance theGroup’s systems of control and governance on acontinuous basis to ensure that the Group’s businessis managed ethically and within prudently determinedrisk parameters in conformity with internationallyaccepted standards of best practice.RISK MANAGEMENTIn pursuance of its policy of aligning Group corporategovernance with international best practice andthereby safeguarding the interests of stakeholders,the Executive Committee has been mandated by theBoard to supplement the Group-wide system ofinternal control to monitor, manage and controlsignificant Group risks. These objectives are enhancedthrough compliance with, and observance of, theUK Turnbull Guidelines on internal control.This risk management system is a principal factorfacilitating the discharge of the Board’s responsibilityfor ensuring that the extensive risks associated withthe Group’s operations are effectively managed andthe interests of stakeholders safeguarded.Group risk management is achieved through theidentification and control of all significant businessrisks, including operational risk, which couldadversely affect the achievement of the Group’sbusiness objectives.The Board has determined the level of acceptable riskand requires the operations to manage and report interms thereof. Material issues and circumstances whichcould adversely impact on the Group’s reputation areconsidered to constitute unacceptable risk.Fifteen significant risk areas have been identified,which form the basis for regular and exceptionreporting to the Executive Committee and theBoard and where appropriate are dealt with inthe relevant sections of this annual report.For each significant risk area, risk owners have beenappointed. Practical guidance for each risk area isdetailed in the operational risk managementhandbook. The risk assessment and reporting criteriaare designed to provide the Board with a consistentview of the key risks.The established system of internal control for themanagement of risk, which requires transparencyand clear accountability, has the commitment ofsenior management.The abovementioned system of internal control,which has been implemented at all key operationsand is tailored to suit the specific circumstances ofeach business unit, provides reasonable rather thanabsolute assurance that the Group’s businessobjectives will be achieved within the prescribed risktolerance levels. The significant risk areas and controlprocesses pertaining thereto are monitored across theGroup on a continuous basis.In conducting its annual review of the effectiveness ofrisk management, the Board considers the keyfindings from the ongoing monitoring and reportingprocesses and management and independentassurance reports. The Board also takes account ofmaterial changes and trends in the risk profile andconsiders whether the control system, includingreporting, adequately supports the Board’s riskmanagement objectives.The Board is satisfied that there is in place anadequate ongoing risk management process, whichidentifies, evaluates and manages the significantrisks faced by the Group.111

Principal Accounting PoliciesThe financial statements are prepared on the historicalcost basis except for certain financial instruments,which are fair valued. Significant features of theGroup’s and the Company’s accounting policies areset out below, which are consistent with those appliedin the previous year. These policies comply with theaccounting standards issued by the InternationalAccounting Standards Board and the South AfricanStatements of Generally Accepted AccountingPractice and with the disclosure requirements ofthe South African Companies Act.1. CONSOLIDATIONThe Group financial statements include theresults and financial position of <strong>Anglo</strong>American <strong>Platinum</strong> Corporation Limitedand its subsidiaries. The results of anysubsidiaries acquired or disposed of duringthe year are included from the dates controlwas acquired and up to the date controlceased. Where an acquisition of a subsidiaryis made during the financial year, any excessor deficit of the purchase price compared tothe fair value of the attributable net assetsis recognised as goodwill and accounted foras described in the goodwill accountingpolicy note 3.All inter-Group transactions and balances areeliminated on consolidation. Unearned profitsthat arise between Group entities are alsoeliminated.2. INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATEAn associate is an entity, other than asubsidiary, in which the Group has a materiallong-term interest and in respect of which theGroup exercises significant influence overoperational and financial policies. The resultsof such investments are accounted for usingthe equity method of accounting based on themost recent audited financial statements orunaudited interim financial statements ofsuch an associate. Unrealised profits andlosses arising from inter-companytransactions are eliminated. The carryingvalue of the investment in an associaterepresents the cost of the investmentincluding unamortised goodwill, the shareof post-acquisition earnings and othermovements in reserves. The carrying valueof an associate is reviewed on a regular basisand, if an impairment in the carrying valuehas occurred, it is written off in the periodin which such permanent impairment isidentified.Goodwill arising on the acquisition of anassociate is accounted for as described in thegoodwill accounting policy note 3.3. GOODWILLGoodwill, being the excess of the purchaseconsideration over the attributable fair valueof the net identifiable assets at date ofacquisition of a subsidiary or associate, iscapitalised and amortised on a straight-linebasis over the lesser of the goodwill’s usefullife or twenty years. An annual impairmentreview is undertaken of the carrying valueand useful economic life of such goodwilland any permanent impairment is chargedagainst income in the period in which theimpairment arose.Negative goodwill, being the excess of theattributable fair value of the net identifiableassets over the purchase consideration, is eitherrecognised as income immediately or as andwhen future anticipated expenditure or lossesare incurred. However, where negative goodwilldoes not relate to expected future expenditure orlosses, it is recognised as income on a systematicbasis over the lesser of the non-monetary assets’useful life or twenty years.4. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENTMININGMine development cost is capitalised tocapital work-in-progress and transferredto mining property, plant and equipmentwhen the mining venture reachescommercial production quantities.Capitalised mine development cost includesexpenditure incurred to develop new miningoperations, to define further mineralisation inexisting ore bodies, to expand the capacity ofthe mine and to maintain production. Costsinclude interest capitalised during theconstruction period where financed byborrowings and the present value of futuredecommissioning costs.Items of mining property, plant and equipmentare amortised on a straight-line basis, overthe lesser of thirty years or their expecteduseful lives, to estimated residual values infive year bands. Amortisation is first chargedon mining ventures from the date on whichthe mining ventures reach commercialproduction quantities.Assets defined under section 36(11)(d) of theIncome Tax Act No 58 of 1962 (as amended),include the following mining assets: housingfor residential occupation; hospitals; schoolsand similar amenities; recreational facilities;surface railway systems and motor vehicles.These assets are amortised on a straightlinebasis at 10% per annum except formotor vehicles, which are amortised at 20%per annum. These rates are in line withallowances granted under the Act andapproximately match the expected usefullives of these assets.NON-MININGNon-mining assets are stated at historical costless accumulated depreciation.Depreciation is provided on the straight-linebasis over the useful lives of these assets at thefollowing annual rates:Plant and equipment 10% to 25%Motor vehicles 25%Office furniture and equipment 10% to 50%Land is not depreciated.LEASESAssets subject to finance leases are capitalised asmining property, plant and equipment at costwith the related lease obligation recognised atthe same value. Capitalised leased assets aredepreciated over their estimated useful lives.Finance lease payments are allocated using theeffective interest rate method, between the leasefinance cost, which is included in interest paid,and the capital repayment, which reduces theliability to the lessor.Operating lease rentals are charged againstoperating profit as they become due.IMPAIRMENTAn annual impairment review of mining andnon-mining assets is carried out by comparingthe net book value of assets to their recoverableamounts. Recoverable amount is the higher ofvalue in use and net selling price.Value in use of mining assets isdetermined by applying a discount rate tothe anticipated pre-tax cash flow for theensuing five years. The discount rate usedis the Group’s weighted average cost ofcapital as determined by the capital assetpricing model.Value in use of non-mining assets is determinedwith reference to market values.Where the recoverable amount is less thanthe net book value, the permanent impairment,when identified, is charged against income toreduce the carrying amount of the affectedassets to their recoverable amounts.The revised carrying amounts are amortisedon a systematic basis over the remaining usefullives of such affected assets.5. INVESTMENTSInvestments in subsidiaries are reflected at costless provisions for any permanent impairmentin value.120


Principal Accounting Policies (continued)6. INVENTORIESREFINED METALSMetal inventories are measured at the lowerof cost on the weighted average basis or netrealisable value. The cost per ounce or ton isdetermined as follows:● <strong>Platinum</strong>, palladium, rhodium and nickelare measured by dividing the mine outputinto total mine production cost less netrevenue from sales of other metals in theratio of the contribution of these metalsto gross sales revenue.● Gold, copper and cobalt sulphate aremeasured at net realisable value.WORK-IN-PROCESSWork-in-process is valued at cost of productionless net revenue from sales of other metals.STORES AND MATERIALSStores and materials consist of consumablestores and are valued at average cost. Obsoleteand redundant items are written off tooperating costs.7. REVENUE RECOGNITIONRevenue from the sale of metals is recognisedwhen the risks and rewards of ownership aretransferred to the buyer. Gross sales revenuerepresents the invoiced amounts for all metalssupplied to customers. Gross sales revenueexcludes value-added taxes.Dividends are recognised when the rightto receive payment is established, with theexception of cumulative redeemablepreference shares, whose dividends areaccrued on a daily basis.Interest is recognised on a time proportion basis,which takes into account the effective yield onthe asset over the period it is expected to be held.Royalties are recognised when the right toreceive payment is established.8. DIVIDENDS DECLAREDThe liability for dividends proposed and relatedtaxation thereon is only raised when thedividend is declared.9. PROVISIONSA provision is recognised when there is a legalor constructive obligation as a result of a pastevent for which it is probable that a transfer ofeconomic benefits will be required to settle theobligation and a reliable estimate can be madeof the amount of the obligation.10. DEFERRED TAXATIONDeferred taxation is provided at current ratesusing the balance sheet liability method. Fullprovision is made for all temporary differencesbetween the tax base of an asset or liabilityand its balance sheet carrying amount.No deferred taxation is recognised in thosecircumstances where the initial recognitionof an asset or liability has no impact onaccounting profit or taxable income.Assets are not raised in respect of the deferredtaxation on assessed losses unless it is probablethat future taxable profits will be availableagainst which the deferred taxation asset canbe realised in the foreseeable future.11. EXPLORATION AND RESEARCHExploration and research expenditureis written off in the period in which it isincurred, unless it is deemed that suchexpenditure will lead to a capital project, inwhich case the expenditure is capitalised andwritten off over the lesser of the expecteduseful life of the asset or thirty years.12. LEASED METALWhen metal is leased to fulfil marketingcommitments, the equivalent cost ofproduction, at the date of the lease, is chargedto the income statement as an on-mine cost andreflected as a current liability in the balancesheet. On the maturity of the lease the liability iscredited to on-mine costs.The leasing costs associated with borrowedmetal are charged to other costs included in thecost of sales on a time-proportional basis.13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSThe Group’s financial instruments consistprimarily of non-current receivables, cashand cash equivalents, accounts receivable,borrowings, accounts payable andderivative instruments.NON-CURRENT RECEIVABLESNon-current receivables are initially recordedat cost and subsequently valued at cost lesspayments received and any adjustments forpermanent impairment. Any subsequentchange in value is included in thedetermination of other net income.CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTSCash and cash equivalents consist of cash,cash deposits with banks and money-marketinstruments. The book value of cash, cashdeposits with banks and money-marketinstruments approximates their fair value.Any gain or loss arising from marking tomarket or a change from book value to fairvalue at reporting intervals is included inthe determination of other net income.ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLEAccounts receivable are stated at the grossinvoice value adjusted for payments receivedand an allowance for doubtful debts, whereappropriate, to reflect the fair value of theanticipated economic benefit receivable.BORROWINGSLong-term borrowings are initially recorded atcost and subsequently valued at cost lesspayments made to reflect the value of theanticipated economic outflow of resources.Any subsequent change in value is includedin the determination of other net income.ACCOUNTS PAYABLEAccounts payable are stated at cost adjustedfor payments made to reflect the value of theanticipated economic outflow of resources.Any subsequent change in value is includedin the determination of other net income.DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTSIn the ordinary course of its operations, theGroup is exposed to fluctuations in metal prices,volatility of exchange rates and changes ininterest rates. The Group engages in a numberof activities to manage these risks. Theseactivities include hedging a portion of theseexposures through the use of derivativefinancial instruments. Forward sales contractsand option contracts are utilised to managemetal and currency exposures. The Group doesnot speculate, acquire, hold or issue derivativeinstruments for trading purposes.Derivatives are initially measured at cost andassociated transaction costs are charged tothe income statement when incurred.Subsequently, these instruments aremeasured as set out below.All forward and option contracts are marked tomarket at financial reporting intervals and anychanges in their fair values are included in othernet income.Gains and losses arising on all other contractsnot spanning a reporting interval arerecognised and included in the determinationof other net income at the time that thecontract expires.14. FOREIGN CURRENCIESThe South African rand is the functionalcurrency of the Group.121


Principal Accounting Policies (continued)Foreign currency transactions are recorded atthe spot rate of exchange on the transactiondate. Monetary assets and liabilitiesdesignated in foreign currencies are translatedat rates of exchange ruling at the balancesheet date.Foreign exchange gains or losses arising fromforeign exchange transactions are included inthe determination of other net income.The balance sheets and income statementsof foreign subsidiaries are translated onthe following bases:FOREIGN OPERATIONSForeign operations forming an integral part of theoperations of the GroupMonetary items of these operations aretranslated using the closing rate of exchange.Non-monetary items are translated at the rate ofexchange at the historical transaction date.Income and expense items are translated at theannual weighted average rate of exchange.Translation gains or losses on monetaryitems are included in the determination ofother net income.FOREIGN ENTITIESForeign entities not forming an integral part of theoperations of the GroupAssets and liabilities for both monetary andnon-monetary items are translated at theclosing rate. Income and expense items aretranslated at the annual weighted average rateof exchange.All gains or losses on exchange are takendirectly to a non-distributable reserve until theforeign entity is sold or disposed of.15. ENVIRONMENTAL REHABILITATIONEstimated long-term environmental obligations,comprising pollution control, rehabilitationand mine closure, are based on the Group’senvironmental management plans incompliance with current technological,environmental and regulatory requirements.DECOMMISSIONING COSTSThe present value of estimated futuredecommissioning costs, which embody futureeconomic benefits, is capitalised as property,plant and equipment when commercialproduction is reached and concomitantprovisions are raised. These estimates arereviewed annually and discounted usinga pre-tax rate that reflects current marketassessments of the time value of money.The increase in decommissioning provisions,due to the passage of time, is charged to netinvestment income.Decommissioning assets are amortised ona straight-line basis over the lesser of thirtyyears or the expected benefit period.RESTORATION COSTSChanges in the present value of estimatedfuture restoration costs are charged toincome during the period in which suchchanges occur. Estimated restoration costsare reviewed annually and discounted usinga pre-tax rate that reflects current marketassessments of the time value of money.The increase in restoration provisions, dueto the passage of time, is charged to netinvestment income.ONGOING REHABILITATION COSTSExpenditure on ongoing rehabilitation costs isrecognised as an expense when incurred.PLATINUM PRODUCERS’ ENVIRONMENTALTRUSTThe Group makes annual contributions to the<strong>Platinum</strong> Producers’ Environmental Trust,which was created to fund the estimated cost ofpollution control, rehabilitation and mineclosure at the end of the lives of the Group’smines. Contributions are determined on thebasis of the estimated environmental obligationover the life of a mine. Income earned onmonies paid to the Trust is accounted for as netinvestment income.16. BORROWING COSTSBorrowing costs relating to capital expenditureare capitalised in the period in which theyare incurred. Borrowing costs relating tooperating expenditure are charged to netinvestment income.17. EMPLOYEE BENEFITSSHORT-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITSRemuneration to employees in respectof services rendered during a reportingperiod is recognised as an expense in thatreporting period. Provision is made foraccumulated leave.EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANSWhere employees exercise options in termsof the rules and regulations of the <strong>Anglo</strong>American <strong>Platinum</strong> Corporation Limitedshare option scheme, shares are issued toparticipants as beneficial owners.The Directors procure a listing of theseshares on the primary stock exchange onwhich the Company’s shares are listed andquoted. In exchange, employees entitled tosuch share options pay in cash aconsideration equal to the option priceallocated to them. The nominal value ofshares issued is credited to share capitaland the difference between the nominalvalue and the option price is credited toshare premium.TERMINATION BENEFITSTermination benefits are charged againstincome when the Group is committed toterminating the employment of an employeeor group of employees before their normalretirement date.POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITSDefined contribution plansRetirement, provident and pension fundsContributions to defined contribution plansin respect of services rendered during areporting period are recognised as an expensein that period.Defined benefit plansPension fundThe current service cost in respect of thedefined benefit plan is recognised as an expenseor income systematically over the period inwhich they vest. The fund is actuarially valuedevery three years using the projected unitcredit method.Actuarial gains or losses as a result ofexperience adjustments and/or the effectsof changes in actuarial assumptions arerecognised as income or expenditure over theexpected average remaining working lives ofthe employees when the cumulativeunrecognised actuarial gains or losses exceed10% of the defined benefit obligation and fairvalue of the plan assets.Post-retirement medical aid costsThe post-retirement medical aid liability isrecognised as an expense systematically over theexpected remaining service period of employeesusing the projected unit credit method.Independent actuarial valuations are conductedevery three years.Actuarial gains or losses as a result of experienceadjustments and/or the effects of changes inactuarial assumptions are recognised asincome or expenditure systematically over theremaining service period of those employees.Adjustments pertaining to retired employeesare recognised immediately as an expense.Between actuarial valuations, the provision isadjusted in accordance with rates supplied bythe actuaries.122

The obligation was last valued as at 30 June 2000 and revised as at 31 December 2000and 31 December <strong>2001</strong> respectively using the projected unit credit method. The assumptions used in thevaluation included estimates of life expectancy and long-term estimates of the increase in medical costs,appropriate discount rates and the level of claims based on the Group’s experiences.Subsequent to the actuarial valuation as at 30 June 2000, the Group established its own Health MaintenanceOrganisation (HMO), which will provide post-retirement medical aid to its employees. The HMO will providehigh-quality health care services to retirees resulting in a reduction in cost. Being a closed operation, externalinflationary pressures are therefore expected to reduce. Certain groups of employees at various businessunits are participating in the HMO with effect from 1 January <strong>2001</strong>, resulting in a decrease of R102,3 million(2000: R31,0 million) in the provision for post-retirement medical aid benefits.In the revised valuation of the independent actuaries as at 31 December <strong>2001</strong> and 31 December 2000 theeffect of the HMO was taken into account and the actuarial liability was determined at R218,5 million(Note 28) and R290,2 million respectively. The net decrease in the provision for the year amounted toR71,7 million (Note 28) (net increase for the year ended 31 December 2000 amounted to R36,2 million).<strong>2001</strong> 2000The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:Discount rate 15,0% 15,0%Health care cost trend 12,0% 12,0%Expected return on plan assets 15,0% 15,0%MembershipIn-service members 6 232 6 232Continuation members 1 182 1 182Fund statusFair value of plan assets (32,3) (19,1)Present value of obligations 250,8 309,3Unfunded liability (Note 28) 218,5 290,2RmRm135


Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER37. RISK MANAGEMENTThe Group does not trade in financial instruments but, in the normal course of its operations, the Group is exposedto currency, metal price, investment, credit and liquidity risk. In order to manage these risks, the Group may enterinto transactions that make use of financial instruments. The Group has developed a comprehensive riskmanagement process to facilitate, control, and monitor these risks. This process includes formal documentationof policies, including limits, controls and reporting structures.CONTROLLING RISK IN THE GROUPThe Executive Committee and the risk sub-committee are responsible for risk management activities within theGroup. Overall limits have been set by the Board. The Executive Committee is responsible for setting individuallimits. In order to ensure adherence to these limits, activities are marked to market on a daily basis and reportedto the Group Treasurer. The risk sub-committee, composed of marketing and treasury executives, meets weeklyto review market trends and develop strategies that are submitted for Executive Committee approval. The treasuryis responsible for managing investment, currency and liquidity risk within the limits and constraints set by theBoard. The marketing department is responsible for managing metal price risk, again within the limits andconstraints set by the Board.CURRENCY RISKThe Group operates in the global business environment and many transactions are priced in a currency otherthan South African rand. Accordingly, the Group is exposed to the risk of fluctuating exchange rates and seeksto actively manage this exposure through the use of financial instruments. These instruments typically compriseforward exchange contracts and options. Forward contracts are the primary instruments used to managecurrency risk and require a future purchase or sale of foreign currency at a specified price.Current policy prevents the use of option contracts without Executive Committee approval. Options provide theGroup with the right but not the obligation to purchase (or sell) foreign currency at a pre-determined price, onor before a future date. Few contracts of this nature were entered into during the year, and none were inexistence at year end.FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACTS<strong>2001</strong>Principal of forward exchange contracts(i.e. nominal amount in ZAR)Maturing withinCurrency twelve months Average ratesRmPurchases Sales Purchases SalesUnited States dollar 67,2 187,6 9,9644 12,5081Japanese yen 0,3 0,0810Euro 152,7 8,3435British pound 0,9 11,8393Australian dollar 15,6 4,2224Canadian dollar 22,0 5,6799Total 258,7 187,637.

The ability to place forward contracts is restricted owing to the limited size of the financial marketin platinum group metals. Nonetheless, the Group places contracts where opportunities present themselveswhereby management seeks to increase/reduce the exposure to metal price fluctuations. Historically, managementhas made use of forward contracts to manage this exposure. Forward contracts enable the Group to obtain apre-determined price for delivery at a future date.INVESTMENT AND LIQUIDITY RISKThere were no interest rate sensitive liabilities at year end. Fluctuations in interest rates impact on the value ofshort-term cash investments, giving rise to interest rate risk. Other than ensuring optimum money market ratesfor deposits, the Group does not make use of financial instruments to manage this risk. Formal policies,procedures and limits have been put in place for derivative instruments.Amount as at Rates as at Amount as at Rates as atPeriod (days) 31 December 31 December 31 December 31 Decemberless than <strong>2001</strong> <strong>2001</strong> 2000 2000Rm % Rm %30 5 786,4 9,33 4 094,1 10,3560 — — 1 139,6 10,4890 — — 889,1 10,48Total 5 786,4 6 122,8Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will be unable to meet a financial commitment in any location or currency.This risk is minimised through the holdings of cash balances and banking facilities. In addition, detailed cash flowsare regularly prepared and reviewed by treasury. The cash needs of the Group are managed according to itsrequirements.136


Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER37. RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)CREDIT RISKCredit risk arises from the possibility that a counterparty may default or not meet its obligations timeously.The Group minimises credit risk by ensuring that counterparties are banking institutions of the highest quality.Where possible, management ensures that netting agreements are in place. Counterparty limits are reviewedannually by the Executive Committee.Trade accounts receivable involve a small group of international companies. The financial condition of thesecompanies and the countries they operate in are regularly reviewed.FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSCarrying amountFair valueas at 31 Decemberas at 31 DecemberType of instrument <strong>2001</strong> 2000 <strong>2001</strong> 2000Rm Rm Rm RmNon-current receivables 212,1 193,2 212,1 193,2Cash and cash equivalents 5 786,4 6 122,8 5 786,4 6 122,8Accounts receivable 1 946,8 1 615,5 1 946,8 1 615,5Borrowings — 19,3 — 19,3Accounts payable 1 731,6 1 146,9 1 731,6 1 146,9Forward exchangecontracts:Purchases 339,2 305,1 339,2 305,1Sales 193,3 76,6 193,3 76,6Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable:The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.Forward exchange contracts:Forward contracts are valued using a forward curve generated by market rates at year end.39.
