Implats’ attributable Mineral Resourcesand Mineral ReservesSince FY2007, Implats has reported a summary of totalattributable platinum ounces as sourced from all categoriesof Mineral Resources of the Implats group of companiesand its other strategic interests on a percentage equityinterest basis. The tabulation below reflects estimates forplatinum, palladium and rhodium based on the percentageequity interest in the Implats group of companies and itsstrategic partners. The BEE transaction with the RBNwas executed at an Implats level and such ownershipis not reflected below. No additional BEE participationis accounted for. For clarity, both attributable MineralResources, inclusive of Mineral Reserves, and attributableMineral Reserves are shown in separate tables. Note thatthese are not in addition to each other. These are summaryestimates and inaccuracy is derived from rounding offnumbers.Attributable Mineral Resources inclusive of Mineral Reserves as at 30 June 2010OrebodyCategoryAttributableGrade Implats Attributable ouncestonnes (g/t) % Pt Pd(Mt) 5PGE+Au ownership(millions)RhImpala Merensky Measured 136.2 6.82 100 16.9 7.4 1.37Indicated 63.6 6.76 100 7.8 3.4 0.63Inferred 78.5 6.21 100 8.9 3.9 0.72UG2 Measured 132.2 8.87 100 18.1 9.7 3.31Indicated 48.8 8.44 100 6.4 3.4 1.16Inferred 53.4 8.38 100 6.9 3.7 1.26Impala/RBR JV Merensky Measured 1.6 6.98 49 0.2 0.1 0.02Indicated 3.6 6.51 49 0.4 0.2 0.03Inferred 10.5 7.23 49 1.4 0.6 0.11UG2 Measured 1.1 9.13 49 0.2 0.1 0.03Indicated 1.0 9.20 49 0.1 0.1 0.03Inferred 5.5 8.96 49 0.8 0.4 0.14Total 536 7.57 68.0 33.1 8.81Marula Merensky Measured 14.1 4.77 73 1.2 0.6 0.06Indicated 11.0 4.49 73 0.9 0.5 0.04Inferred 13.5 4.30 73 1.0 0.6 0.05UG2 Measured 19.4 9.64 73 2.2 2.3 0.50Indicated 12.3 10.22 73 1.5 1.5 0.34Inferred 6.7 10.35 73 0.8 0.8 0.19Total 77 7.23 7.6 6.3 1.17Afplats Leeuwkop UG2 Measured 48.2 6.63 74 5.1 2.3 0.96Indicated 8.2 6.72 74 0.9 0.4 0.17Inferred 64.0 6.34 74 6.4 2.9 1.22Kareepoort/Wolwekraal Indicated 8.2 6.48 74 0.8 0.4 0.16Inferred 17.5 6.23 74 1.7 0.8 0.33Imbasa Indicated 5.7 5.65 60 0.5 0.2 0.10Inferred 32.0 6.10 60 3.1 1.4 0.59Inkosi Indicated 11.8 6.18 49 1.2 0.5 0.22Inferred 36.6 6.09 49 3.5 1.6 0.67Afplats Total 232 6.28 23.2 10.3 4.41Two Rivers Merensky Indicated 8.4 3.55 45 0.5 0.3 0.03Inferred 1.8 3.36 45 0.1 0.1 0.01UG2 Measured 4.0 5.43 45 0.3 0.2 0.06Indicated 21.1 4.53 45 1.4 0.8 0.27Inferred 0.5 6.26 45 0.05 0.03 0.01Total 36 4.37 2.4 1.4 0.37www.implats.co.za 15 Implats Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Statement 2010
