Kibali Mining…
Kibali KCD Opencast mining…
View of the southern and western limb of the pit
The pit is mining soft sulphide on the southern side
The target is to mine enough sulphide from the pit by end of Q1 for the commissioning of the sulphide circuit.
Kibali opencast mining…
Six pits to be mined over 10 years
KCD pit mining started in July 2012
Production achieved with local trained operators
3 x Liebherr 9350 diggers , 1 x Liebherr 984 digger and 19 x 777G
dedicated to production with a number of auxiliary equipment to support
production
The ore production and plant feed were achieved for the year
Kibali underground mine development…
The underground will consist of:
40Km of Capital lateral development
Expected LOM is 20 years
Vertical ore hosting shaft
Twin decline
Longhole open stope with paste fill
10MW installed refrigeration system with multiple vent raisebore shafts
Capital Footprint of Underground
Boxcut
North Decline
South Decline
West Decline
East Decline
655L Acc
Kibali decline development status…
Positions as of end Q3
Target completion of twin declines for 2013 has been reached
An average of 400m/month of the development was reached with 2 jumbos during the development of the twin decline
Development ore mining and stoping have been brought forward
Kibali underground mining…shaft sinking
Kibali underground mining…vertical shaft
The headgear, winder house, winder and stage winder have been successfully completed enabling the main sink to kick off 2 Nov 2013
The shaft is targeted to achieve 183m on the 24 Dec as per programme
Focus is now on achieving a good advance within an acceptable cycle time (2.3m/24hrs)
Next milestone is to reach 300m depth by the 16 Feb 2014
Latest mine design…KCD open pit and underground
Standardised 35m level intervals 5102, 5103 and 9105 lodes
Upgrade of geotechnical model has allowed us to increase the number of large production stope
Mining method of 9105 change from longitudinal to transverse due to increase thickness of the ore
Key changes to mine design since feasibility…
Resource increases due to GC drilling and infill diamond drilling –resulting in larger reserve of 89Mt vs 72Mt in feasibility
Rockmass classification highlights better rock quality allowing for lower ground support costs and larger stopes
UG permeability lower than expected, reducing total pumping requirement from 600l/s to 200l/s
Dedicated refrigeration shaft
SS focus on shaft and BUCS on lateral development
9000 lode adjusted to longitudinal, potentially bringing this lode forward in the mine plan and reducing upfront capital
Brought declinre ore tonnage forward to optimise cashflow before shaft fully commissioned
Further possible optimisation of mine plan…
Up plunge drilling of the 9000 lode – quickly adds more stoping
Satellite pits of Gorumbwa, Aerodrome, Rhino and Mofu give flexibility outside current mine plan
BUCS developing faster than current plan – if they continue we bring the high grade ore forward

Kibali hydropower strategy…
Our power strategy…
Supply concept is a hybrid arrangement
Peak power
Deliver peak power on the available river schemes average flows
Dry season low flow power
Maximize the number of stations supplying to maximize the power available in the low flow periods
Diesel back-up generation
For start-up of shaft winder and Met Plant
Initially provide dry season make-up power from high speed diesel units
Substitute (diesel generation) with smaller hydrostations as overall power demand grows
