5 FUTURESMART MINING IS REDEFINING THE MINING INNOVATION CYCLE CREATING SHARED VALUE THROUGH THE SMART ADAPTATION AND APPLICATION OF TECHNOLOGY FAST, ITERATIVE EXECUTION DELIVER Rapid delivery cycles (SmartPath) Learning plans SmartBox GRASP CHALLENGES Consider entire value chain. 3 lenses: Sustainability (water, energy) Processing Mining VALUE IDENTIFICATION CONSOLIDATE Technology Programmes Value defined Balance delivery over time IDEATE Open Forums Internal participation Open and collaborative COLLABORATION 5

6 THE CONCENTRATED MINE Precisely targeting the metal and mineral with less waste CHALLENGE Precision mining with minimal energy, water and capital intensity APPROACH Concentrating the mine concept: Improved mine fragmentation Rejecting the worthless rock (gangue) earlier Coarse particle recovery Fine particle recovery VISION Moving and processing only the mineral / metal 6

7 THE WATERLESS MINE Waterless processing CHALLENGE Around 75% of our current portfolio is located in highwater-risk regions APPROACH Closed Loop water recycling Evaporation control Dry tailings disposal VISION Dry processing without the need for tailings dams 7

8 MODERN MINE Continuous, hard rock mining for safer, more economic mines Underground testing is advanced at our platinum mines MN220 Reef Miner (Pictured) Remote controlled disc cutting machine designed for mining narrow reefs of hard rock The Rapid Mine Development System (RMDS) Safely excavates lowprofile tunnels with rapid access to ore Continuous haulage system (CHS) A remote controlled system to transfer bulk material from the RMDS to the fixed conveyors Slot Borer Platinum reef drilling system for drilling narrow vein hard rock ore body of just 1m-1.5m MN220 Reef Miner VISION A safer, more economic mine 8

9 MODERN MINE Transforming hard rock mining CHALLENGE Precise, continuous mining at depth APPROACH Adapt disruptive technologies Mechanise existing methods Continuous hard rock cutting and materials movement VISION A safer, more economic mine 9

10 THE INTELLIGENT MINE A smart, connected, learning mine CHALLENGE To measure what matters at all levels APPROACH Predictive exploration and processing analytics Predictive condition-based monitoring and maintenance VISION Predictive intelligence (from sensor to boardroom) 10
