4 Results Highlights Q2 gold production - 11,560 oz 26% higher than Q % higher than Q2 of 2011 Q2 Cash costs US$547/oz 16% lower than Q Q2 EBITDA - $9.19m Broadly similar to previous 3 quarters after deduction of US$1m Community donation Q2 Profit after tax - $5.5m $1.6m lower than Q due to Indigenisation costs and higher taxation during Q2 Cash at 30 June $18.3m undrawn Zimbabwe facility of US$2.4m 4

5 Results Highlights Gold production has almost quadrupled since Q Q production temporarily affected by maintenance work Strong and sustained increases in EBITDA Q EBITDA is after US$1m indigenisation expense 5

6 Safety Intensive management interventions have resulted in a reduction in the TIIR. Total Injury Incident Rate is a measurement of all accidents that have occurred regardless of injury or not expressed per 200,000 man-hours worked. This includes accidents that could have caused injuries. 6

7 Blanket Gold Mine, Zimbabwe Gold Production Tonnes milled per quarter increases in 2011 as capital projects are completed Tonnes milled in Q were lower as planned due to scheduled maintenance on No. 4 Shaft Tonnes milled in Q returns to target rate of approximately 1,000tpd Blanket Mine Production Statistics Period Tonnes milled (t) Grade (g/t) Recovery (%) Gold Produced (oz) Q , % 7,322 Q , % 8,226 Q , % 9,743 Q , % 10,533 Higher grade in Q2 due to mine plan encountering higher grade zone in AR areas than expected. Grade expected to revert to the long term average of 3.83g/t. Improved gold recoveries due to recent investment, and also assisted by higher grades Q , % 9,164 Q , % 11,560 Source: Caledonia Q MD&A 7

8 Blanket Gold Mine, Zimbabwe Costs Sustained reduction in cash costs per ounce Temporary increase in costs in Q due to lower production and non-recurring consumable items 8

9 Blanket Gold Mine, Zimbabwe Cost Reductions due to Improved Efficiency Continuous investments since 2009 have substantially improved Blanket s operating efficiency No. 4 Shaft Expansion completed in late 2010 allows increased production, thereby spreading fixed costs over more production No 4 Shaft has a highly efficient, automated loading system which reduces hoisting costs Level18-22 Ore pass (completed Q3 2011) reduces multiple handling of ore: reduces costs and allows increased tonnage throughput Investments in milling and CIL circuits have increased recoveries and reduced the quantity of the consumables required to produce each ounce of gold o Cost /tonne processed fell from $29/t in Q1 of 2011 to $25.25/t in Q2 of 2012 o Cyanide usage (approx. $3,300/t delivered) reduced from 1.4Kg/t processed to 0.87Kg/t processed o Gold recovery increased from 92.0% in 2010 to 93.9% in Q2 of

10 Blanket Gold Mine, Zimbabwe A Low-Cost African Gold Producer Blanket s cash costs are highly competitive Blanket s operations benefit from: o tight cost control o amenable mine environment, o efficient metallurgical plant o efficient labour structure Sources: Company Announcements In 2011 Blanket won EMA awards for Safety, Health and Environment 10

11 Indigenisation at Blanket Rapid progress to implement the Memorandum of Understanding 10% of Blanket to be donated to local community 41% of Blanket to be sold for US$30.09m Transaction documents have been signed: approval from Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe is the only remaining condition precedent outstanding Completion anticipated once the Reserve Bank Approval is received Caledonia has received its Certificate of Compliance Blanket is the first Indigenised Zimbabwean gold producer US$30.09 sale transaction is vendor-financed by Caledonia Reflects the absence of third party funding for Zimbabwean transactions Purchasers will repay their facilitation loans from 80% of their attributable Blanket dividends Outstanding facilitation loans attract interest at LIBOR plus 10% Further advance dividend payments to community of $4m prior to mid-2013 will temporarily affect Blanket s cash flows 11
