STATEMENT BY NEAL FRONEMAN, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF SIBANYE STILLWATER
2020 was a defining year for the Group, marking the end of the deleveraging phase that has prevailed over the past three years. Despite
the significant challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group delivered a record financial performance and made
the significant challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group delivered a record financial performance and made
notable progress towards delivery on many strategic targets. This performance is testament to benefits of the strategic growth and
diversification undertaken in recent years and reflects the quality, depth and resilience of the Sibanye-Stillwater leadership. We have
diversification undertaken in recent years and reflects the quality, depth and resilience of the Sibanye-Stillwater leadership. We have
come out of this period strongly, and the Group is well positioned for the ongoing delivery of value for all stakeholders.
Despite the ongoing implementation and observance of COVID-19 protocols to support the health and wellbeing of our workforce,
production from the three operating segments for 2020 was consistent with the prior year. The build-up to normalised production levels
at the SA operations from the COVID-19 lockdown in Q2 2020 exceeded forecasts despite the adoption of a phased return to work in
order to protect the health and safety of employees during this sensitive period. Both the SA gold and PGM operations reached
normalised production rates in November 2020, positioning the Group for an improved operational performance in 2021.

normalised production rates in November 2020, positioning the Group for an improved operational performance in 2021.
The SA PGM operations produced 1,576,507 4Eoz in 2020 (including attributable ounces from Mimosa), exceeding the upper limit of
revised annual guidance of between 1,350,000 4Eoz and 1,450,000 4Eoz by 9%, with PGM production of 918,679 4Eoz for H2 2020, 40%
higher than for H1 2020. Mined PGM production from the US PGM operations of 603,067 2Eoz in 2020 was marginally higher year-on-year,
higher than for H1 2020. Mined PGM production from the US PGM operations of 603,067 2Eoz in 2020 was marginally higher year-on-year,
but below revised guidance of between 620,000 and 650,000 2Eoz, primarily due to the impact of a spike in COVID-19 infections at the
US PGM operations in Q4 2020, associated with a severe wave of COVID-19 infections in Montana. Despite the COVID-19 disruptions, H2
2020 production of 305,327 2Eoz was 3% higher than for H1 2020, with most operating trends improving towards the end of the year.

Production from the SA Gold operations (excluding DRDGOLD) of 25,190kg (809,877oz) was 3% above revised guidance of between
23,500 and 24,500kg (756,000oz and 788,000oz), with production of 15,023kg (483,001oz) for H2 2020, 48% higher than for H1 2020.

This solid operational performance underpinned the record financial results by obtaining full exposure to higher average precious metal
prices. The average 4E PGM basket price increased by 83% to R36,651/4Eoz (US$2,227/4Eoz) for 2020 with the average 2E PGM basket
price increasing by 36% to US$1,906/2Eoz (R31,373/2Eoz) and the average rand gold price increasing by 43% to R924,764/kg (US$1,747/oz).

to net debt: adjusted EBITDA of 1.25x at the end of 2019.
This accelerated deleveraging has significantly de-risked the Group from a financial perspective, addressing what market analysts have
continually highlighted as a primary concern and a justification for a relative discount in our investment rating since 2017. Completing
this strategic priority allows for a shift in the strategic focus from deleveraging to capital allocation - securing an appropriate balance
between consistent and sustained flows of value to stakeholders and allocating capital to ensure the sustainability of the Group and
