GROUP SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS                                                        
IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal    
reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief  
operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and to  
assess their performance. The chief operating decision-maker has been identified
as the Executive Committee that makes strategic decisions. The Group has        
identified its operating segments based on its main exploration divisions and   
aggregated them into coal, diamonds, gold, base metals and industrial minerals  
and other.                                                                      
The Group discloses its operating segments according to the entity components   
regularly reviewed by the Executive Committee. The components comprise of       
exploration divisions.  These values have been reconciled to the consolidated   
annual financial statements. The measures reported on by the Group are in       
accordance with the accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting the
consolidated annual financial statements.                                       
Segment operating expenses comprise all operating expenses of the different     
reportable segments and are either directly attributable to the reportable      
segment, or can be allocated to the reportable segment on a reasonable basis.   
The segment assets and liabilities comprise all assets and liabilities of the   
different segments that are employed by the reportable segments and are either  
directly attributable to the reportable segments, or can be allocated to the    
reportable segment on a reasonable basis.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES                                 
The condensed annual financial statements of the Group are prepared on a        
historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, at amortised    
cost or fair value, and the valuation of certain elements of property, plant and
equipment. The condensed annual financial statements has been prepared in       
accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition      
requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the AC 500  
standards as issued by the Accounting Practices Board and the information as    
required by IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting, Listing Requirements of the JSE
Limited, and the Companies Act of South Africa (Act 61 of 1973), as amended.    
The principal accounting policies, which comply with IFRS, have been            
consistently applied in all material respects in the current and comparative    
years. All new interpretations and standards were assessed and adopted with no  
material impact. In the current year additional disclosure were added with      
respect to IFRS 8: Operating Segments.                                          
2. AUDIT REPORT                                                                 
The consolidated annual financial statements for the year have been audited by  
the Company`s independent auditors, Deloitte & Touche, whose unqualified audit  
report is available for inspection at the Group`s registered address. Any       
reference to future financial performance included in this announcement has not 
been reviewed or reported on by the Group`s auditors.                           
PKF (Pretoria) Inc was not reappointed as auditors of the Group. Deloitte &     
Touche was appointed in accordance with section 270(2) of the Companies Act.    
3. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE                                                         
The Company subscribes to and complies in all material aspects with the Code on 
Corporate Governance Practices and Conduct as contained in the King II Report on
Corporate Governance.                                                           
4. BEE                                                                          
It is a primary thrust of Miranda to achieve empowerment at project level, in   
order to establish an enabling environment, as envisaged by the Mining Charter  
and the Minerals and Petroleum Resources Development Act of 2002 (MPRDA).       
Miranda`s Sesikhona coal project remains a prime example of the Group`s approach
in this regard. Leveraging the Sesikhona Community Trust, which holds a 12%     
stake in the Sesikhona project, the Company consults with the local Verdriet    
community on all related socio-economic development initiatives. Our            
contribution to the Verdriet community includes technical skills development and
training, combined with social development initiatives. It is our goal to ensure
that each community impacted by our work reaps the resulting financial and      
skills development benefits.                                                    
At holding company level, Miranda remains empowered to the extent of more than  
30%, which complements the Group`s broad-based BEE initiatives and structures at
operational subsidiary level.                                                   
5. SUSTAINABILITY AND TRANSFORMATION                                            
Miranda believes that sustainability requires a multi-faceted commitment. This  
commitment must extend from business practices, through to involvement with     
communities affected by mining operations and continue after mining operations  
have reached the end of their lives and operations cease. A programme that is   
based on "once-off" donations to good causes, or a programme that exclusively   
benefits a small group of people, is not appropriate. In the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN)
coal fields, presently Miranda`s primary operational base, the Group undertakes 
projects that are designed to promote the development of sustainable projects   
that will benefit the local population for years to come.                       
6. BOARD OF DIRECTORS                                                           
There were no changes to the board during the year under review up to the date  
of this report.                                                                 
7. OPERATIONAL REVIEW                                                           
Challenging financial market conditions continued during the period under       
review. As a consequence, Miranda has maintained its narrow operational focus on
developing its KZN coal prospects, whilst re-scheduling and conserving cash in  
the Group`s other business divisions of diamonds, gold, and base and industrial 
minerals.                                                                       
7.1 Coal Division                                                               
Miranda`s KZN portfolio of coal prospecting and mining rights (including        
applications in process) is held through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Miranda   
Coal (Pty) Ltd, and has expanded to approximately 105,500 hectares (ha) of land 
mostly in the Klip River coal field. The Company is presently putting together a
focused management team with the appropriate technical expertise that will      
direct Miranda Coal through its next development phase and bring its coal mining
and development projects in KZN to realisation. The management team`s initial   
focus will be to further combine Miranda`s existing prospecting right areas into
commercially-viable projects, to further consolidate Miranda`s presence in KZN  
and on building Miranda Coal into a stand-alone corporate entity.               
Mining Project: Sesikhona Collieries                                            
Sesikhona is the holder of a mining right and its adjoining and nearby project  
areas hold a further four prospecting rights. Miranda`s lease area in the       
Dannhauser project area covers approximately 7 900 ha (including rights under   
application) and holds South African Mineral Resource Committee (SAMREC) and    
reconnaissance resources of about 9,1 and 22,4 million tonnes, respectively.    
The period under review was one of mixed fortunes for Sesikhona, Miranda Coal`s 
pioneering first mining project. Although mining operations at Sesikhona were   
originally scheduled to get underway during the latter part of 2009, unexpected 
delays saw re-development of the site only commencing during May 2010 with      
production now expected in early-2011. On the constructive side, the last 12 to 
15 months have seen Miranda taking a number of important steps to significantly 
de-risk the project. These include the finalisation of the mine plan and        
scheduling, upgrading of the resource classification and completion of an       
internal pre-feasibility study.                                                 
Further deposits of anthracite were identified during this period, which more   
than doubled the probable reserve to 3,7 million tonnes. At an envisaged        
targeted production rate of 70 000 tonnes per month, this has resulted in       
lengthening the life of Sesikhona`s first phase open pit operation to at least  
50 months, and yields increasing accordingly.                                   
Prospective buyers of Sesikhona`s anthracite are both local and international,  
with the pricing benefits of export-destined output having to be considered     
relative to its more complicated logistical challenges. The anthracite market   
has seen a resurgence in recent months, accompanied by an increase in the number
of trade enquiries from interested parties both locally and abroad. Following   
protracted offtake discussions with various entities, the Company is inviting a 
shortlist of interested, potential counter-parties to make representations to   
the Group. The objective is to secure an offtake agreement for anthracite       
deliveries to commence as soon as possible in the new calendar year. It is      
anticipated that the new Miranda Coal management team will drive this process.  
When mining on Sesikhona phase one gets underway, management will target the    
extension of Sesikhona`s existing three defined open pits through a focused     
drilling programme. The Group will also be able to consider the development and 
mining options available on the adjacent Dwala and nearby Majestic projects. The
first port of call is to confirm the westward extension of the Sesikhona deposit
in to the Dwala prospecting right area. Initial results are extremely           
encouraging; with drilling on the south western perimeter of Sesikhona`s lease  
area indicating the continuance of coal seams. Dwala`s coal will most likely be 
accessed by following the seams from Sesikhona via decline shafts.              
Development Project: Glencoe Collieries                                         
In line with the intention to consolidate existing lease areas, Miranda is      
planning the development of the Uithoek, Burnside, Boschhoek and Wasbank        
prospecting right areas as one combined project. The consolidated project area  
covers 10 farms and almost 16 000 ha for an identified SAMREC resource of 94,5  
million tonnes. If Sesikhona is Miranda Coal`s pioneer project, Glencoe         
Collieries has the potential to become its flagship for the foreseeable future. 
The development of Glencoe Collieries will commence with the contiguous open-pit
sections of the Uithoek and Burnside prospecting right areas. Following the     
completion of its application for a mining right and the required environmental 
impact assessment study, the Company is looking forward to approval of the      
Uithoek mining right. The Burnside environmental impact assessment was also     
completed and submitted during the first half of 2010. It is expected that the  
granting of the Burnside mining right should follow that of Uithoek by          
approximately six months.                                                       
The current open pit resource on these two areas constitutes a combined 13,5    
million tonnes. An internal pre-feasibility investigation has been concluded,   
which indicated that around 10,5 million tonnes should be commercially          
exploitable over the project`s anticipated seven year life of mine. Delivering a
PCI-equivalent quality primary product for the export steel market and a        
secondary, domestic power station coal product, management`s internal assessment
was extremely encouraging and indicative of a robust first phase mining project.
Miranda Coal has decided to commence with a formal feasibility study to provide 
investors with greater certainty of the extent and viability of the project. The
feasibility study is targeted for completion after mid-2011, with production set
to commence in the first half of 2012. The new Miranda Coal team will also take 
responsibility for this process.                                                
Exploration Projects: KZN                                                       
Miranda Coal has divided its prospecting interests in KZN into nine project     
areas. Of these, the Dannhauser (Sesikhona) and Glencoe project areas have      
advanced furthest in terms of the coal value curve. However, Miranda Coal`s     
growing pipeline of exploration projects contain a number of promising          
prospects, extending from the Klip River coalfield into the Vryheid and Utrecht 
coal fields.                                                                    
These include the contiguous lease areas of Yarl and Learydale, which form the  
core of the Company`s interests in the Newcastle project area. The initial      
result of Miranda`s own, limited, first stage field exploration on Yarl has     
resulted in a SAMREC inferred resource of 16,9 million tonnes being identified  
on the property. Possible combined reconnaissance resources have been estimated 
at more than 100 million tonnes on these two properties. The second stage of the
exploration programme has planned a further 30 boreholes on the two properties  
to both extend and upgrade the resource classification, as well as to assist in 
determining coal qualities.                                                     
The coal on Yarl and Learydale is mostly deep and will make for underground     
mining. The Miranda Coal management team will be focusing on developing the most
efficient manner in which to gain access to the coal. One possible solution is  
that access to Yarl may be obtained via Learydale by using decline shafts. These
matters will be dealt with in a feasibility study for an underground mine, which
is scheduled to commence when drilling is completed on the two properties.      
7.2 Other Divisions                                                             
The decision taken in 2009 to downscale exploration activities of the diamond   
division remained in effect during 2010, as the unfavourable trading and        
investment environment for diamonds persisted during the year under review.     
Nonetheless, Miranda maintained its interests in the diamond sector in Botswana,
the North West Province (Turffontein project) and the Northern Cape (Lauraville 
project) with a view on a possible recovery in the diamond market.              
In Botswana, Miranda`s Jwaneng joint venture with Bowa Africa (Pty) Ltd holds   
the right to prospect for and mine kimberlite diamonds over an area of 101 930  
ha in the Kweneng Province. It is located about two kilometres from the Jwaneng 
Diamond mine in an area that is rich with kimberlite pipes. Miranda plans to    
continue with a more detailed, second phase desktop analysis of the available   
information on the Jwaneng North block, in order to investigate the possible    
occurrence of diamonds within the kimberlites.                                  
The Group holds various explorations rights for gold, platinum, base and        
industrial minerals. Whilst these prospecting rights will be maintained in the  
interim, it is envisaged that the projects will only be developed once the coal 
division is operational. They include the Syferbult-Boons gold project, where   
the DMR recently issued a new prospecting right to Miranda until 2013 over three
contiguous farms of 4 831 ha in the Ventersdorp district (North West Province). 
The results of the planned prospecting works programme over the next 18 months  
will determine whether the project will move into the evaluation and mining     
feasibility stage.                                                              
8. FINANCIAL REVIEW                                                             
8.1 Financial results                                                           
As at 31 August 2010, the net asset value and net tangible asset value of the   
Group amounted to R353.3 million and R13,7 million, respectively (2009: R348,8  
million and R14,0 million). This was equivalent to 124,2 cents per share (cps)  
and 4,8 cps (2009: 141,0 cps and 5,7 cps).                                      
With no projects yet in production, the Group showed no revenue for the year    
(2009: Rnil). Operating expenses amounted to R17,6 million (2009: R11,9         
million). The resultant net loss for the year increased to R17,4 million (2009: 
R10,9 million), equivalent to a loss of 7,0 cps (2009: loss of 4,5 cps). These  
results are consistent with management`s increased focus on developing, in      
particular, the Group`s coal project portfolio.                                 
8.2 General share issue                                                         
During the current financial period 37 110 074 new ordinary shares were issued  
at a cash issue price of 62,62 cps to Global PS Telecom Investment Company      
Limited (Global PS). The Group intends to utilise the funds raised through the  
Cash Issue in the following manner:                                             
*    To fund a possible corporate action at the Miranda Coal level and to ensure
    an optimal trade-off between value and timing for Miranda shareholders;     
*    To provide working capital flexibility for Sesikhona during the early      
    stages of its first phase open pit anthracite mining operation;             
*    To fund a feasibility study of the open pit sections of the Group`s Uithoek
    and Burnside lease areas; and                                               
*    Capital will be allocated to the ongoing development of Miranda`s pipeline 
    of exploration projects.                                                    
9. GROUP PROSPECTS                                                              
The Board is satisfied with the manner in which the Group has managed its cash  
resources at a time when the financial market participants have been mostly     
unaccommodating towards junior mining and exploration companies` capital        
requirements. To this extent, the investment by Global PS (see also post-balance
sheet events) will go a long way towards securing the Group`s short- to medium- 
term cash requirements. Following the new capital injection into the Group, the 
immediate urgency of a corporate action on the Miranda Coal asset portfolio has 
dissipated.  Whilst a corporate transaction that creates a "see-through" value  
of the coal assets is still being anticipated, the immediate focus will now be  
on first bringing Sesikhona to production and on completing a feasibility study 
and detailed mine plan on the open-pit sections of Uithoek and Burnside.  This  
will strengthen the value creation process for existing Miranda shareholders.   
The board looks forward to a 2011 that will be characterised by major           
developments within Miranda as the Group moves steadily towards achieving its   
set goals of maturing its projects. The directors are of the opinion that the   
delays in meeting some objectives will be overcome in 2011.                     
10. LITIGATION STATEMENT AND POST-BALANCE SHEET EVENTS                          
10.1 Litigation Statement                                                       
Miranda had applied for the conversion to "new order" rights of certain mineral 
titles and rights previously acquired from Goldfields Limited, in the manner    
prescribed by the MPRDA. The Group was subsequently advised by the DMR that     
certain of these applications had been refused. Consequently, the board of      
Miranda exercised its right in terms of the MPRDA to appeal against these       
decisions, which the board believes to be without foundation. The appeals were  
lodged with the DMR and are at various stages in the legal process. Some appeals
are still being evaluated, during which time the DMR may not grant any of the   
affected rights to third parties.                                               
The Board has recently received confirmation from the DMR that its appeal       
against the refusal of a prospecting right for its Rozynenbosch is part of a    
large inherited backlog and is receiving urgent attention. As a consequence, the
Company has put its legal action against Government on hold pending the outcome 
of its appeal. At present, the Board remains firmly of the opinion that Miranda 
will be awarded a "new order" prospecting right on Rozynenbosch. The Board is   
monitoring the situation on an ongoing basis and will make further announcements
to shareholders as soon as any of the substantive facts related to the matter   
change. In the unlikely event of this right not being granted to Miranda, it    
could result in an impairment of up to R284 million.                            
10.2 Post-Balance Sheet Events                                                  
The Group is in the process of implementing its agreement with Global PS in     
terms of which it has secured further equity funding of a minimum amount of     
R70,1 million.  The salient features and terms and conditions of the Claw Back  
Offer agreement with Global PS provide, inter alia, as follows:                 
*    The remaining authorised but unissued share capital of the Company has been
    partially pre-placed with Global PS;                                        
*    The Claw Back Offer is being structured so as to ensure that Global PS will
hold no more than 34,99% of the issued share capital of Miranda after its   
    implementation;                                                             
*    The Claw Back Offer will take place at a subscription price of 73 cents per
    share; and                                                                  
*    The Claw Back Offer is subject to the usual regulatory approvals, including
    that of the JSE and the South African Reserve Bank to the extent required.  
In terms of the Claw Back Offer, shareholders of the Company will be able to    
participate in the Claw Back Offer by exercising their pre-emptive rights at the
Claw Back Offer price of 73 cents per share. The maximum possible amount to be  
raised in terms of the Claw Back Offer is R83,6 million. The exact terms and    
shareholder documentation related to the Claw Back Offer are being finalised.   
11. STATEMENT ON GOING CONCERN                                                  
The financial statements have been prepared on the going-concern basis since the
Directors have every reason to believe that the Group has adequate resources in 
place to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. The Group will       
continue with its strategy of "just-in-time" capital raising as and when        
required to fund the exploration programme until such time as cash flow         
requirements are being met from internally generated funds.                     
12. DIVIDENDS                                                                   
No dividends were recommended or declared for the financial year under review   
(2009: nil).                                                                    
13. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING                                                      
The notice of the annual general meeting will be included in the annual report  
that will be posted to shareholders in due course.
