  9. Blanket GoldMine,Zimbabwe ALow-CostAfricanGoldProducer • Insert explanations for people with an assumed high degree of technical knowledge why the costs are so low. We are an underground mine with frankly un-exceptional grades so how do we get such low costs per ounce?: • Low cost labour – get data for average employee cost compared to A • Efficient and productive labour – show our production rate per employee with average for SA • Beneficial mine environment • Blanket Mine is relatively shallow mine with the bottom most tramming level at 750m below surface. • The • No cooling requirement • Little need for roof support • ? Mining methodology? • High metallurgical recovery rates • Cost efficient supply-chain • Caxton Mangezi Source: CaledoniaQ3 2013MD&A. 1.AISC includeson-minecashcosts,sustainingcapitalinvestment,headofficeG&A androyalty

  10. Blanket GoldMine,Zimbabwe ALow-CostAfricanGoldProducer • Insert an analysis of historic costs – we have disclosed this in the MD&A so it is not new – labour, electricity, consumables, other.
