Commentary
Introduction
The platinum industry is facing extremely tough times with static platinum group metal (PGM) basket prices, low productivity,
cost pressures and industrial relations challenges. The Impala team has, during the course of the year, come to
grips with its particular operational and industrial relations challenges and has reviewed its plans to focus and
deliver on, among other things, safety, health and production. We aim to do this with the necessary respect and care,
deserving of our stakeholders.
Market review
Global economic conditions continued to impact on the PGM markets, with US$ prices for all our major metals lower than
the prior year. This was impacted by higher than anticipated global above-ground inventories. For calendar year 2012, the
platinum market moved into a deficit of half-a-million ounces on the back of reduced primary supply from South Africa and a marginal
increase in demand from the automotive sector. Non-automotive industrial demand was lower reflecting weak economic conditions
but an uptick in jewellery offtake helped support the market. The anaemic pricing environment stunted any growth from
the recycle sector.
On a more positive development, the recent launch of the local Absa Platinum ETF has seen the uptake of nearly 600 000
ounces of metal thereby removing some of the surplus above-ground inventories from the market, although this could ultimately
become a future source of supply.
Palladium demand continued to grow on the back of stronger US and Chinese automotive sales combined with positive
investor sentiment. This drove the market towards a sizable deficit of nearly 900 000 ounces. The deficit was compounded by
a reduction in Russian stock deliveries adding to the belief that future liquidation from this source will be limited.
We anticipate further growth in global vehicle sales of 3- 4% per annum, which when combined with tightening emission
standards, should provide a solid foundation for increased demand for our metals. This will result in deficit markets
for platinum and palladium which will not easily be met from increases in primary supply, particularly from South Africa
where operational challenges and the lack of capital investment by the industry will continue to suppress supply into the
foreseeable future. This should prove positive for prices in the medium to long term.
Safety review
Safety improved across all leading and lagging indicators for the Group. The fatal injury frequency rate improved by
25.3% to 0.065 per million man-hours worked and there were no fall-of-ground fatal accidents, which is a considerable
achievement. The lost-time injury frequency rate improved by 15.1% to 4.21 per million man-hours worked. Regrettably, we
had nine fatalities during the year. The board, management and all of the Implats team extend their sincere condolences
to the families and friends of the deceased.
Our safety strategy is directed at implementing the cultural transformation framework, closing the supervision gap and
implementing best practice technical initiatives.
Employee relations review
During the year under review, significant progress was made towards advancing our employee relations (ER) strategy.
Most significantly for the Company, in July 2013, a new recognition agreement was concluded with the Association of Mineworkers
and Construction Union (AMCU) for our Rustenburg operations. The principles of the recognition agreement provide a clear
framework to effectively advance the election of shop stewards. The agreement also sets the tone for the negotiation and
conclusion of other critical labour arrangements and issues. Following on from this, wage negotiations have commenced.
With the signing of the new recognition agreement, the opportunity now exists to advance our ER strategy, specifically
to foster a collaborative employee relations environment in the Company, and within the broader industry. This
environment will afford us the opportunity to inculcate a stronger and more direct relationship with our employees while, at the
same time, fostering significantly better relationships with our unions and other stakeholders.
Operational review
Gross refined platinum increased by 9% to 1.58 million ounces compared to the prior year. Mine to market output
decreased by 2% to 1.21 million ounces primarily due to lower volumes from Impala. Non-managed production increased by 80% to
368 000 ounces as a result of once-off treatment for third parties. The lower volumes at Impala negatively impacted on
Group unit costs, which increased by 23% to R16 570 per platinum ounce.
Impala
Ore milled increased by 2.3% to 10.9 million tonnes while refined platinum decreased by 5.5% to 709 200 ounces. Key to
this performance was the milled head grades (6E) which were marginally lower at 4.32 (2012: 4.38) grams per tonne.
Recoveries improved slightly to 85.3% (2012: 84.7%) as a result of better efficiency at the tails scavenging plant and lower
opencast volumes milled.
Total development activity at 97.4 (2012: 96.8) kilometres increased as did on-reef development which increased by
13.6% to 29.7 kilometres. Key to optimal performance at Impala, or at any mine for that matter, is having sufficient ore
reserve flexibility. The mine is currently face length constrained and only mined an average of 17.4 kilometres of face at
an average panel length of 21.7 metres and a face advance of 10.3 metres per month. The key to reversing this situation
is to optimise development, equipping, construction and ledging activities on existing shafts and at the newly
commissioned 20 and 16 shaft complexes.
The team at Rustenburg are implementing a number of key initiatives to improve the overall performance of the mine.
These initiatives are focused on planning and executing on optimal mine designs, increasing on-mine motivation and
increasing the skills and knowledge of the teams. In addition, an improved mineral resource management approach has been
adopted.
Impalas unit cost increased by 23.9% to R17 241 per refined platinum ounce. Above inflation wage and power cost increases,
combined with lower production (resulting in lower volumes) affected unit cost.
Marula
Ore milled increased by 3.1% to 1.6 million tonnes while platinum in concentrate increased by 3.8% to 71 700 ounces.
Costs per platinum ounce in concentrate increased by 19.3% mainly due to inflation of 11.5%, the employment of an
additional 290 employees, unforeseen conveyor belt maintenance, trackless machinery repairs and external consulting costs. As a
result of the external intervention during the first half of the year, in-stope productivities increased by 8.5%.
Zimplats
Ore milled increased by 6.6% to 4.7 million tonnes while platinum in matte increased by 5.9% to 198 100 ounces despite
the smelter fire in December 2012 which necessitated a shutdown of 21 days. Platinum unit costs in matte increased by
5.5% mainly due to US$ inflation of 6.2% offset by the increase in platinum production. The unit costs for the year were
US$1 307 (2012: US$1 239) per platinum ounce in matte.
Mimosa
Tonnes milled at 2.4 million for the year increased by 2.5% and platinum in concentrate reduced by 5.4% to 100 300
ounces. Mimosas unit costs increased by 22.6% to US$1 782 per platinum ounce in concentrate mainly due to the lower
production, Zimbabwean inflation, the impact of a stock rebuild exercise post the 2012 fire and the higher usage of plant
chemicals and reagents.
Two Rivers
Tonnes milled were 2.2% higher at 3.2 million for the year. Platinum in concentrate increased by 8.2% to 162 200
ounces. Costs per platinum ounce in concentrate increased by 8% to R11 683.
Capital expenditure and progress on major capital projects
Total capital expenditure for the year amounted to R6.4 billion (2012: R8.1 billion) with spend primarily focused on the
Impala 20 Shaft project now in build-up (R0.9 billion), the recently commissioned Impala 16 Shaft project (R1.2 billion),
the Impala 17 Shaft sinking project (R0.6 billion) and the Phase 2 expansion project at Zimplats (R1.1 billion). These projects
will position Implats to regain its competitive cost position and benefit from the long-term PGM market fundamentals.
The 20 Shaft project achieved 352 000 ore tonnes in 2013 and the build-up to full production of 125 000 ounces of
platinum is still planned for 2018. A focus on incline and decline development to open up access levels will secure the
build-up of mineable face. A total of 2 100 people (including contractors) are now employed at the complex. The shaft is
currently exploiting the Merensky Reef horizon.
The 16 Shaft project was successfully and safely commissioned during June 2013. Preparations for mining operations
have commenced and first stoping is expected to start in the second quarter of 2014. This shaft secures jobs for 6 500
people that are currently employed at the older generation Rustenburg shafts. Full production of 2.7 million tonnes per
annum and 185 000 ounces of platinum per annum is planned for 2018. The shaft will exploit both the Merensky and UG2 Reef
horizons.
The 17 Shaft project was slowed down during the year as a result of our cash preservation measures. The shaft will
exploit both the Merensky and UG2 Reef horizons and production build-up is now planned to commence in 2018, some two years
later than previously envisaged. Full production of 180 000 ounces of platinum should be reached in 2023.
At Zimplats, the new Phase 2 concentrator plant was successfully commissioned in April 2013. The rated throughput of the plant has
been achieved and the build-up of ore reserves through the new Mupfuti portal (Portal 3) is progressing on target.
Construction of the underground crusher at the portal is scheduled for commencement in January 2014 with anticipated
completion by August 2014. Full production from this project of 90 000 ounces of platinum per annum is planned to be achieved
in 2015, which will take total production to 270 000 ounces of platinum per annum.
Mineral resources and mineral reserves
There has been no material change to the technical information or legal title relating to the Groups mineral reserves
and resources, as at 30 June 2013.
Financial performance
Revenues, at R30.0 billion, were R2.4 billion higher than those achieved in the previous period to June 2012:
- Higher sales volumes accounted for R351 million.
- Lower dollar metal prices reduced revenues by R1.7 billion.
- A weaker exchange rate of R8.80/US$ (2012: R7.71/US$) gave rise to a positive R3.8 billion in revenues.
Group unit costs increased from R13 450 per platinum ounce to R16 570 per ounce and were affected by:
- A R418 million cost saving during 2012 as a result of the strike and a loss of 150 000 ounces platinum.
- Mining inflation of 13.0% comprising South African operations of 11.6% and Zimbabwe operations of 20.3% including
dollar inflation of 5.7% compounded by a weaker rand.
- The lower production volumes from Impala, additional costs at Zimplats due to the start of mining at the new Mupfuti
mine and additional costs at Mimosa.
Headline earnings per share decreased by 52% from 685 to 330 cents per share due to operational performance at
Impala, above inflation cost increases and impairments of R1.3 billion of long-term receivables (excluding the goodwill
impairment for the Afplats transaction). Basic earnings per share were 168 cents which is 76% lower than the previous
comparable period as a result of the impact of the write-down of approximately R1 billion of goodwill resulting from the Afplats
acquisition concluded in the 2007 financial year.
Capital expenditure of R6.4 billion was mainly funded by cash generated from operations which amounted to R5.9 billion
(2012: R5.0 billion) which was enhanced by the following two items not in the normal course of operations, namely:
- Debtor receipts from sale of houses R677 million; and
- Realisation of the metal received as part repayment of loans due by a recycling customer of R482 million.
The raising of the convertible bond increased cash from R0.6 billion (June 2012) to R4.5 billion at year-end. Total
borrowings in the Group (excluding finance leases) increased by R4.5 billion to R6.1 billion, increasing the Groups net
borrowed position from R995 million at June 2012 to R1.6 billion at year-end.
The board has decided to declare a dividend for the year of 95 cents per share which comprises an interim dividend of 35 cents
per share and a final dividend of 60 cents per share. This is in line with the Implats dividend policy of 3.5 times cover.
Zimbabwean indigenisation
The termsheets setting the conditions for the proposed Indigenisation Plans for both Mimosa and Zimplats were
submitted in December 2012 and January 2013 respectively. We have been notified that these termsheets need to be revisited.
Discussions are ongoing. Zimplats has lodged a formal objection and a compensation claim for the compulsory land acquisition
gazetted on 1 March 2013.
Prospects
We firmly believe that the demand for our metals will increase in the medium to long term driven primarily by the
growth in global vehicle sales. However, future primary supply growth will remain constrained which will result in tighter
market conditions leading to higher prices for our metals.
We continue to invest in our replacement projects, which are essential to restore Impalas production profile. We will maintain
production in 2014 at current levels and thereafter progressively grow output to 850 000 ounces of platinum per annum by 2018.
This, coupled with the completion of the Phase 2 expansion project at Zimplats, will ensure the sustainability of the Group.
In this regard, capital expenditure of R5.5 billion is planned for 2014.
Declaration of final cash dividend

16.Zimbabwe indigenisation
On 14 December 2012 Implats announced that its 50% held joint venture Mimosa had concluded a non-binding termsheet in respect of a
proposed indigenisation implementation plan (IIP) with the Government of Zimbabwe (as represented by the Minister of Youth Development,
Indigenisation and Empowerment). On 11 January 2013 Implats further announced that its 87% held subsidiary, Zimplats, had similarly
concluded a non-binding termsheet in respect of a proposed IIP. The respective termsheets referred to above stipulate the key terms,
subject to certain conditions precedent, for the sale by Mimosa and Zimplats of an aggregate 51% equity ownership of Mimosa Pvt and
Zimbabwe Pvt respectively to select indigenous entities. At the date of this report the definitive transaction agreements have not yet
been negotiated and concluded, but could critically affect the accounting treatment of these investments in future. The effective date of
these transactions will be the date on which the conditions precedent are fulfilled. The Company has subsequently been informed that the
Government of Zimbabwe wishes to review the termsheet and discussions in this regard are ongoing.
