Mooi ry
Pun intended. Just to prove that the hectic afternoon traffic in Burgersfort can be beautiful. The
traffic lights that became operational (after a year?)
certainly helps, but the other three still needs urgent
attention!
The platinum surface projects, that being the Hernic tailings and locally ASA Metals
Dilokong tailings near Burgersfort, continue to progress with the design phase having been
executed and the principal engineering companies being appointed. The Company reported
that progress made in project engineering has accelerated the execution programme, therefore bringing forward the deadline for the required final execution engineering drawings and
possible order placement of long lead items.
The target for the platinum surface project is an estimated 4.4 million tonnes of platinum
containing surface material. Furthermore current arisings are deposited onto the surface
material at an estimated rate of 27 000 tonnes per month. Jubilee Platinum is considering
the construction of two chrome and platinum group metals processing plants with the capacity of processing surface material at a combined rate of 80 000 tonnes per month.
The company was able to complete a placing of 37, 5 million new ordinary shares and
an application has been submitted for the shares to be admitted for trading on AIM and to
be listed on the AltX.
Chief Executive Officer of Jubilee Platinum, Leon Coetzer, commented, I am delighted with the progress made on our platinum surface processing projects and I am looking
forward to the execution phase ahead and delivering the Companys transformational
projects.
Jubilee Platinum is an JSE and AIM listed exploration and development company with
platinum and power operations in South Africa as well as nickel, iron and copper interests in
Madagascar.
The combined funds from this placing together with debt funding, on which advanced
talks are taking place, along with the previously reported sale of the groups non-platinum
operational assets, will provide the necessary means for the design, construction, commissioning and working capital during the ramp-up phase of the South African projects.
The capital required for building both the surface platinum and chrome beneficiation
processing plant is estimated at 13.71 million, while the working capital required to bring
the Platinum Surface Projects to operation and to achieve positive earnings is estimated at
3.8 million.
The target is to process 80,000 tons per month of platinum containing surface material
delivering an estimated production of 42,000 ounces of PGMs in concentrate per year.
The company is of the opinion that the surface projects were robust and could comfortably sustain such a debt level. According to the company the ramp-up to earnings for these
type of projects are very short and the projects can go from construction to full operation
mode within 16 months.

Be warned: Crooks
now targeting schools
The Department of Education is warning all
schools principals, teachers and management teams to be alert of the criminals who
are targeting schools to rob them of cash.
This came to the attention of the department through principals who indicated they
received calls from these criminals.
One of the recipients of such calls is the
Principal of a High School in Polokwane
who was told that his school is in line to
receive furniture and laptops from one of the
sister departments at a cost of R38 460.00.
A caller, Mr Dlamini indicated to the principal
that the school does not pay for the material
but has to pay R4230.00 for insurance. This

Supermarket robbed
Last week Friday was a bad day for Choppies in Burgerfort when the business was robbed.
The Police in Burgersfort say at about 18:40 just before closing time a female employee
heard a shout at the main entrance of the business.
A man with a handgun instructed everyone to lie down on their stomachs and he demanded an employee to hand over the panic button. The employee could not do it because
she dit not have it on her person.
The man then demanded she open the cash office and when she refused she was assaulted and a shot was fired with the firearm. The emplyee then proceeded to open the cash
office and the man with the firearm was joined by two accomplices who packed more than
R100 000 and fled.
At the time of going to press nobody had been arrested and the Police continue with their
investigation.
The Police called on shop owners or managers the safeguard cash by banking regularly,
especially at month end to keep cash levels in shops at a minimum.
When a 28-year old man who resides in Mooikloof, Burgersfort, was busy showering last
week Friday, he saw his bakkies lights go on through the window and that the vehicle was
reversing slowly.
He thought nothing of it as he thought that maybe his colleague took the vehicle and finished his ablusions. After finishing in the shower, he phoned his colleague to find out where
the vehicle was, but his colleage told him that he did not take it. Thinking that it was maybe
another vehicle, he went outside to find that it was his bakkie, but the garage door was open
and the bakkie gone. It is a white Nissan with registration BPF 587 L.
The value of the bakkie is about R100 00 and the Police are investigating. The Police call
on the community to confirm everything immediately when they see anything suspicious, as it
may be criminals at work.

Mr. Thabo Mnisi, Mr. Danil Mampane and Mr. Tato Makofane said: It is bad for communities while this is going on. Lots of people want jobs. It is wrong to close a mine because of a
social labour plan (SLP). Communities should also not block and burn the roads and buses.
The government, private sector and communities must come together and everyone must be
willing to compromise.

Mr. BK Makofane, Mr. MJ Moime and Mr SS Makofane said: Government must solve the
problem of unemployment. Practically it is not possible for the mines to employ whole communities. It must be a collective effort. Government and the private sector must come together.
The mines do have SLPs. As many as possible local people should be employed and empower people by giving tenders to local BBBEE companies. People can take their skills to the
mines by registering on their vendor databases for tenders. Procurement people must engage
with communities. The community unrest is caused by unclear information. We want to be
informed. Publish opportunities and projects in the newspaper. Having communication is very
important. There is a communication problem between the mines management, unions and
government. Infrastructure is the responsibility of government. Government should establish
leagues that can work on the ground in communities and communicate with communities
because the communities take wrong decisions based on the wrong information.
Ms. Dorah Meyer said: We all struggle. They must not close the mines. They must put ideas
together and maybe there can be a solution. Burning and blocking is making things worse.
We are fighting with ourselves if we do that. The mines should also be doing more to help the
communities. Communities are doing it the wrong way and government is not fulfilling their
promises. They promised people jobs. Practice what you preach. With her is Neo Mthethwa.
Ms. Nelly Mohlala and Ms. Dorah Malepe said: It is not right that government is trying to
force the public sector to give the things they
are supposed to do. Government and the
mines should talk more to find a commitment that will benefit everyone. Dont close
mines like the one in Middelburg. Enough is
enough.
Left: Mr. Wisky Mokgatla said: The private
sector is paying tax to government so government must provide infrastructure for the
people to be satisfied. If they start closing
mines there will be an even higher unemployment rate in South Africa. To close is not a
good solution. If you burn roads and buses it
is not right. People should talk and try to find
solutions between the private sector, government and communities because closing
mines is not the solution.
