CEO, Leon Coetzer, commented:

"The Hernic project continues to deliver excellent results as we step up the throughput during the final optimisation of the operation.

Our October results illustrate the significant improvement in operational performance during this optimisation phase which we expect to continue over the next quarter.

I am particularly delighted by the earnings margin that the project is already achieving with a unit cost of only USD 406 making the Hernic project one of the lowest cost PGM producers in the industry."

 

HERNIC OVERVIEW

The Hernic operations' performance improved significantly, which is in-line with the current focus on process optimisation as part of the final phase of the project execution. As stated previously we expected a further step increase in operational performance during Q4 2017 with the increase in feed material to the processing plant. The October results confirm this continued step improvement for Q4 2017 with a 22% increase in PGM ounce production resulting in a project unit cost per PGM ounce produced of USD 406.

The table below presents the comparative performance of the Hernic operation for Q3 2017 and the month of October 2017:
