SAMCODES GOVERNANCE SAMCODES has multiple tiers of Governance q Compliance is a condition of Membership of the SAIMM and the GSSA q The Recognised Professional Organisation (RPO) system requires compliance from participating organisations q The Statutory bodies require compliance q The JSE Readers Panel (Solid Minerals and Oil & Gas): The Readers Panel ( the Panel ) is an independent panel of experts established in terms of section 12 of the JSE Limited ( JSE ) Listings Requirements. Members of the Panel are remunerated by the JSE as per agreement with the Panel Matt Mullins 12 April 2018 Slide 7
q SAMCODES awards two annual SQUIRREL AWARDS through the Investment Analysts Society q Previous winners of the SAMREC/IASSA award are: SAMCODES/ INVESTMENT ANALYSTS SOCIETY OF SA 2016 AngloGold Ashanti 2015 AngloGold Ashanti 2014 Gold Fields and Sibanye Gold (jointly) 2013 Gold Fields 2012 Sibanye Gold 2011 Gold Fields 2010 Harmony Gold Mining Company The 2017 SAMREC/IASSA Squirrel award was presented to Impala Platinum Holdings Limited at the 32 nd Annual Awards Ceremony The award is given for the Annual Integrated Report ( AIR ) adjudicated best in terms of compliance with the JSE Listing Requirements and the SAMREC Code. Matt Mullins 12 April 2018 Slide 8
SAMCODES/JSE INTERNATIONAL RECIPROCITY The SSC advises the JSE whether to grant reciprocity to Professional Bodies in order that their members may submit reports to the JSE in compliance with the JSE listing requirements. The criteria for a RPO are that the organisation must: q Be a self-regulatory organisation covering professionals in the mining and/or exploration industry; q Admit members primarily on the basis of their academic qualifications and experience; q Require compliance with the professional standards of competence and ethics established by the organisation; and q Have a code of ethics and a disciplinary code, which includes the power to suspend or expel a member.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS q CRIRSCO formed in 1994 under the auspices of the Council of Mining and Metallurgical Institutes (CMMI) q Formally established in 2002 with the purpose of establishing fundamental standard definitions to be used as the basis for the reporting codes of all member nations. CRIRSCO template has 15 definitions and 3 guiding principles Meet annually to discuss on-going requirements q Mineral reporting codes and guidelines (Public Reporting): Australasia (JORC), Canada (CIM), Europe (PERC), South Africa (SAMREC) and the USA (SME). Other countries added continually q The combined value of mining companies listed on the stock exchanges of these countries accounts for more than 80% of the listed capital of the mining industry Any foreign-listed company in Africa will be reporting according to one of these CRIRSCO Codes (depending on where they are listed), some locally-listed companies will also do so by choice. Any African company listed internationally will also likely be reporting according to one of these Codes. Almost all international investment houses, financial institutions also require compliance when supplying significant capital Matt Mullins 12 April 2018 Slide 11
INTERNATIONAL CONVERGENCE q Through the CRIRSCO and the IMVAL templates we are achieving convergence in what are in the Codes q The CRIRSCO Template is currently being updated q The International Mineral Valuation Committee (IMVAL) was formed in 2012 in Australia, primarily to develop a globally acceptable mineral asset valuation (MAV) template by harmonising the valuation codes q IMVAL includes Minerals and Oil & Gas q There is flexibility for the template to evolve over time to include aspects not initially addressed, such as valuation of mineral corporations and their respective securities, and valuation of oil and gas assets. Matt Mullins 12 April 2018 Slide 12
EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CODES q There is limited co-branding of the three main Reporting areas: Minerals Reporting, Minerals Valuation, and Oil & Gas Reporting and Valuation q There is limited acceptance in some jurisdictions of the Codes on the relevant Securities Exchanges (e.g. VALMIN is not accepted on the ASX) q Global acceptance of Valuation reporting is still subject to considerable variation q Governance is variably applied, and is still too reliant on the complaint procedure q International Reciprocity is not always clear (e.g. OSC only recognising Fellows of the AusIMM) q International conformity in O&G is very dependent on resolving the differences between PRMS and COGEH Matt Mullins 12 April 2018 Slide 13
