and ensuring sustainable job security.

undertaken. This is appreciated. As the NUM, we look forward to continuing the much-improved
working relationship between the parties for the foreseeable future.”
Divisional Manager and Chief Negotiator for UASA, Franz Stehring noted: “Given the prevailing
economic climate and the bullish commodity market, the settlement reached with South Deep Gold Mine
through constructive engagements sets a benchmark for other mining companies.”

agreement is fair and balanced, taking into account the impact that increases in cost of living are likely
to have on employees over the next three years, and the future sustainability of our mine. We commend
