Update on Labour Relations in South Africa

Petra Diamonds Limited

("Petra" or the "Company")

 

Update on Labour Relations in South Africa

 

 

Petra Diamonds Limited announces that it has reached agreement with the National Union of Mineworkers ("NUM") with regards to salaries at the Finsch and Koffiefontein operations in South Africa and employees will report for their normal duties from tomorrow, 29 September 2017. No agreement has yet been reached at Kimberley Ekapa Mining JV. As reported earlier, Cullinan has not been impacted by the labour disruptions.

 

The three year wage agreement with NUM provides for annual increases to NUM members in the region of 9 to 10% for year one and 8.5% for years two and three. However, given lower wage increases for other levels of employees within the Group, the overall wage inflation for the Company is ca. 7.5% per annum. There is no material impact to Petra's cost guidance for FY 2018.

 

The Company also does not expect there to be a material impact on Group production guidance of 4.8 to 5.0 million carats for FY 2018.
