GEOLOGY MG REEF STRATIGRAPHY

GEOLOGY

The MG reef package is classified into six chromitite layers– MG0, MG1, MG2, MG3, MG4, MG4A

Partings are generally anorthosite, pyroxenite or norite

Reef package varies from 50 m in the west to 74 m in the east (incl. partings)

PGMs are concentrated in the MG2, MG3 and MG4 reefs

KEY FACTS

Process plants are owned and operated by Tharisa

Each plant operates independently, providing flexibility and limiting potential process disruptions

Basic process:

─ ROM is crushed and screened

─ Selected reef ROM sent to Challenger Plant to recover foundry and chemical grade

─ Primary milling to liberate chromite crystals

─ Primary spirals to recover chromite

─ Secondary milling to liberate PGM particles

─ Flotation circuit to recover PGM particles

─ Secondary spirals to recover additional chromite

INDEPENDENT PROCESSING PLANTS

PROCESSING

VOYAGER PLANT

Capacity: 300 ktpm ROM

Processes reefs with higher PGM

and lower chromite grades

Produces both metallurgical and chemical grade concentrate

GENESIS PLANT

Capacity: 100 ktpm ROM

Processes reef layers with lower

PGM and higher chromite grades

Challenger Plant recovers high value foundry grade and chemical grade chrome concentrates
