Changing World markets. Since 2008, the global commodities markets have been hit by the multiple effects of : The slide into recession in Europe due to the sovereign debt crisis (a critically important market for platinum), The slowdown in economic growth in China (from >10%p.a. in 2008 to 7.7% now), The continued below potential growth performance of the US economy, The global sovereign debt crisis (especially in developed markets EU, USA, Japan), The impact of quantitative easing (low interest rates and printing money) on commodity prices, The recent drying up of liquidity towards mining projects (concern that quantitative easing is not working and the slower growth levels).

The Fraser Institute Vision: A free and prosperous world where individuals benefit from the operator choice, competitive markets, and personal responsibility. Mission: To measure, study, and communicate the impact of competitive markets and government interventions on the welfare of individuals. South Africa has fallen down the rankings 54/93 in 2012 to 64/96 in 2013. Based on existing regulations and practice, S.A. is ranked 77 out of 96 countries in 2013 from 62/93 in 2012. Comments; 1. Canada Canadian mining regulation and legislation are generally easy to operate under - A producer company with more than US$50M, Company president 2. Alberta Strong mining province, open for business. - An exploration company, Company president 3. New South Wales Stable, not corrupt, has technical potential, skilled labour force, not too green, and sensitive to how mining assist remote development and usefulness of royalties. Pro-mining conservative government. - A consulting company, Company president Continued
4. Australia in general Across Australia, political and regulatory panic is seriously impacting the quality and timeliness of decisions, and certainty about access to land is very concerning. The Twitter factor is determining political attitudes and actions, and regulators are reacting to minimize the perceived risk exposure of their ministers. - A consulting company, Company president 5. Botswana Can get work done. Reasonable approval process. Not excessive regulations. Clearly pro-mining culture. Honest civil servants - A producer company with more that US$ 50M, Manager 6. South Africa Strikes, demonstrations, military killing workers. - An exploration company, Vice- president Country with an unworkable political structure - An exploration company, Company president 7. South Africa & Zimbabwe Both South Africa and Zimbabwe are driving social experiments not driven by logic and economy, but by ideology. In the absence of reason, primary industries become the cash cows to fund the un-fundable. The rise of oligarchs in both countries evidences decline. - An exploration company, Vice-president Source: Fraser Institute 2012/13

Perceptions and realities about mining PERCEPTION REALITY Is a Dirt Digger Another R300 billion and 150 000 jobs created in downstream industries Is uncaring about the lives of workers and does not pay well 67% reduction in fatality rate, average wages per employee up 12% p.a.

Confluence of factors have served to complicate the labour market situation Rapid urbanisation (fastest in Africa, people seeking jobs in platinum belt) Political opportunists seeking to capitalise on the situation Workers battle garnishing orders and too much exposure to micro credit Poor service delivery by municipalities, insufficient bulk infrastructure, land for settlement Inter-union rivalry Labour unrest High poverty rates Perception that mines are not doing enough to help local communities High unemployment rates (26.2% versus national average of 24.9%) Perception that mining companies can pay much higher wages Increasing levels of protest against poor service delivery (average 8.8 protests per month in RSA) Source: Chamber of Mines
