Commenting on the results, Jean Nel, CEO Aquarius Platinum said:
The quarter was characterised by an excellent operating performance, with Kroondal delivering its 11th consecutive
production quarter above 105,000 4E oz’s and Mimosa delivered an all-time production record, while both operations
delivered reduced costs. Quarterly production from Mimosa and Kroondal attributable to AQP is an all-time company record.
As always all the credit for this performance goes to the operational teams.
Despite this disciplined performance profit and cash margins were lower in the quarter following the dramatically lower metal
prices with the Dollar PGM basket price 14% lower in the quarter and 29% lower year on year to levels last recorded in 2006.
Given that we see no fundamental reason to be optimistic about PGM prices in the short term management will continue to
implement all possible cost savings measures to preserve cash levels.
Lastly, further to the announcement made on 6 October 2015 in which Aquarius and Sibanye jointly announced the conclusion
of an implementation agreement in terms of which Sibanye proposed to, subject to fulfilling a number of conditions
precedent, acquire all the issued shares of Aquarius, the work streams required to facilitate the special general meeting of
Aquarius shareholders to vote on the offer is progressing in line with our expectations and meeting materials will be
despatched in due course.

PGM markets update
The price of Platinum fell 16% over the quarter, confirming the weakest quarterly performance for platinum
since 2008, finishing at $903 per ounce with an average price of $991 per ounce. Palladium moved down 6% to
$697 per ounce with an average price of $617 over the quarter. Gold was the strongest performer of the three
metals however also reported negative gains over the quarter moving 5% lower, and despite positive
performance across August and September finished around the $1,169 per ounce level with an average price of
$1,125.
Macro concerns continued to impact the prices of precious metals with the main factors impacting demand
across the month including: Chinese macro growth concerns, the quantum of above ground precious metal
stocks, and, post quarter end, the VW news. Platinum fell to an eight-year low and palladium reached the lowest
level since 2012 on speculation off over supply amid slowing demand from China.
The VW “dieselgate” scandal was incrementally negative to diesel demand and thus platinum demand. The USD
continued to strengthen during the quarter, with the Rand falling 6% against the dollar over the quarter, as US
interest rate speculation remained a key driver for the continued strength and volatility particularly across
September.
The outflows from the various ETF’s have also highlighted investor preference for palladium over platinum. Since
the price correction in August platinum ETFs have seen steady outflows, whilst Palladium ETF’s have seen some
renewed inflows.

Financials
Aquarius recorded an on-mine EBITDA profit of $2.5 million for the quarter ended 30 September 2015, down
$12.3 million compared to the pcp.
Aquarius' share of profit from joint venture entities (Mimosa) was a loss of $2 million, a $9 million reduction
compared to the pcp. The consolidated result of the Group (IFRS) was a net loss after tax of $12.3 million, down
from a profit of $5 million in the pcp.
The lower result compared to the pcp was due entirely to significantly lower PGM prices which were down 29%
in Dollar terms negative pipeline sales adjustment of $6 million at Kroondal. This impacted directly on revenue
which was down 35% to $40 million, compared to $62 million in the pcp. In Rand terms, aggregate revenue
increased 22% compared to the pcp due to the impact of a 19% depreciation in the Rand. JV entity Mimosa's
revenue was similarly impacted by lower PGM prices as well as a negative pipeline sales adjustment of $5
million.

Production for the quarter was 93,513 PGM ounces, an 8% increase compared to the pcp and 5% higher quarter-
on-quarter. Kroondal continued to excel with production up 4% compared to both the pcp and also quarter-on-
quarter. Production at PlatMile was also higher be it of a low base. Production at joint venture entity Mimosa
remained consistently good up 8% compared to the pcp and up 4% quarter-on-quarter.
Total cost of sales of $48 million was 15% lower compared to the pcp, despite an 8% increase in production due
to a 19% weakening in the Rand/Dollar exchange rate. In Rand terms, total cost of sales were 2% higher
compared to the pcp, a credible performance given the 8% increase in production.
On a cash cost basis, Kroondal's cash costs per ounce in Rand terms increased 1% compared to the pcp and
decreased by 15% in Dollar terms due to the weaker Rand. Compared to the previous quarter June 2015,
Kroondal's cash costs per PGM ounce decreased 1% in Rand terms and 7% in Dollar terms. Mimosa’s cash costs
per PGM ounce decreased 3% compared to the pcp and remained unchanged compared quarter-on-quarter.
Depreciation and amortisation for the quarter was $4.5 million.
Administrative costs of $1 million remain controlled and in line with expectation. Finance costs include interest
paid on borrowings of $1.5 million, non-cash interest accretion on convertible bonds of $1.2 million and the
unwinding of the rehabilitation provision of $1.1 million.
Net operating cash outflow for the quarter of $9 million comprised $52 million inflow from sales, $62 million
paid to suppliers and $1 million interest received. Development and capital expenditure for the quarter was $3
million. Net financing cash inflows of $2.8 million included dividends of $4 million from Mimosa, $0.5 million
repayment of AQPSA finance leases and $0.5 million loans to joint venture entities.
The Group’s cash balance was $175 million at the end of the quarter, held as follows:
AQP $111 million
AQPSA $61 million
ASACS $1 million
Platmile $1 million
Ridge Mining $1 million
Total $175 million*
* Mimosa and Blue Ridge (in which Aquarius has a 50% equity interest) are accounted for using the equity
method. Cash held in these two entities at 30 September 2015 was $7 million and does not form part of the
above cash balances. Under the previous method of proportionately consolidating its investment in Mimosa and
Blue Ridge, 50% of this cash ($3.5 million) would have been included in Aquarius' Group cash balance.

Commentary
Kroondal:
There were no fatalities during the quarter. The 3 month DIIR rate reduced to 0.38 from 0.47 which was
reflected in the 12 month DIIR which similarly improved to 0.64 from 0.65. Two Section 54 instructions were
issued during the quarter.
Production at Kroondal for the quarter was up 10% to 1,934,000 tons quarter-on-quarter but 4% down
compared to the previous corresponding quarter, September 2014 (pcp).
Kroondal achieved its eleventh consecutive +105,000 PGM production quarter. Unit costs in Rand terms
continued to respond positively down 1% quarter on quarter and up 1% compared to the PCP in spite of South
Africa’s inflation rate of approximately 6%.
Production capacity at both K6 and Simunye was further enhanced during the quarter with K6 infrastructure
coming on line and future requirements being finalised and scheduled to support steady state. Kopaneng
ventilation constraints have been mitigated and will suffice until such time that the vent raise has been
completed during Q3.
Bambanani shaft is presently managing excessive potholing. The re-establishment of affected face length is
expected to be completed mid Q2.
Both plants improved production efficiencies resulting in increased PGM production for the quarter and
increased ore positive stockpiles.
The Kroondal work force maintained a positive outlook with open communication channels on all levels.
Operating cash costs per ounce
Unit cash cost per PGM ounce in Dollar terms (before by-product credits) was 5% lower quarter-on-quarter
mainly due to the weaker Rand which depreciated 6% quarter-on-quarter and higher production. Unit cash costs
compared to the pcp were 15% lower due to the a 19% weakness in the Rand.
In Rand terms, Kroondal's unit costs for the three months to 30 September 2015 were 1% lower and only
increased 1% compared to the pcp. A credible performance with operating costs contained below inflationary
levels of approximately 6%.

Safety, Health and Environment
- One fatality was recorded during the quarter.
- Two LTIs were recorded during the quarter.
- No restricted work case was recorded during the quarter.
- One minor injury occurred during the quarter.
On the 24 August 2015 at 1520 hours, Erick Mukazi, a Face Preparation Supervisor, was barring down in 24 Level
North Bottom Gulley where LHD lashing was in progress. A wedge dislodged from the hanging wall and struck
him on the head and upper back. The incident occurred about 3 metres from the face. Mukazi sustained fatal
head injuries.
The fatal accident, which occurred after a long period of relatively good safety performance, affected the morale
of both employees and management. Investigations, which involved shareholder representatives, Ministry of
Mines in Zimbabwe and other third party reviews, were conducted and action strategies are being implemented
to ensure that this and other similar accidents do not recur.
The YTD LTIFR was 1.58 whilst the rolling LTIFR was 0.52. Following the fatality, Mimosa is now on 48,542
fatality free shifts as at the end of September 2015.
Operations
Operating cash costs per ounce
Unit cash cost per PGM ounce (before by-product credits) were unchanged quarter-on-quarter. Compared to the
pcp unit cash costs were 3% lower.
Capital expenditure
The total capital expenditure for the quarter was $7.2 million. Expenditure was incurred mainly on mobile
equipment, drill rigs and LHDs, the conveyor belt extension and down dip development.
Mining operations
With the exception of the tragic fatal accident reported on earlier, the Mimosa mine operated very well during
the quarter, enjoying cordial industrial relations and meeting most of its production targets. A total of 634,396
tonnes of ore were blasted for the quarter under review with blasted grades of 1.917g/t Pt. and 0.157% Ni. The
blasted tonnage represents a 4.6% decrease compared to the previous quarter’s 664,821 tonnes. Most teams
mined through poor ground conditions during the quarter resulting in preparation constraining the ore
generation cycle.
Following the fatal accident, mining production was slowed down to allow teams to re-focus after such a tragic
event.
Hoisted tonnage for the quarter was at 654,127 tonnes compared to 684,030 tonnes achieved in the previous
quarter representing 7.3% decrease in performance. Hoisting performance is expected to improve in line with
the anticipated improvement in the amount of blasted ore.
Processing plant
The milled tonnage for the first quarter at 671,507Mt was 1% above the 662,787Mt which was achieved in the
previous quarter.
At 79.2% platinum recovery was slightly less than the 79.4% achieved in the previous quarter with 4Es recovery
remaining stable at 78.7%. The Process Team continues to focus on initiatives to improve the recoveries further.
PGMs production at 62,410 oz was 1% above the 61,561 oz which was achieved in the previous quarter and 5%
above the budget of 59,096 oz.
15% Export Levy on un-beneficiated PGMs/ Deductibility of Royalties
The Statutory Instrument to give legal effect on the deferment of the 15% export levy as announced by the
Minister of Mines during the quarter as well as regularize the deductibility of royalties is yet to be gazetted.
Engagements with the Ministries of Mines and Finance are continuing to have the Statutory Instrument
gazetted. The
