UPDATE ON EXXARO’S DISPOSAL OF ITS 24.4% STAKE IN BLACK MOUNTAIN MINING
Exxaro, the diversified South African-based resources group , previously concluded that zinc mining was
not strategically aligned to the group’s long-term objectives based on a review of its portfolio of assets.
Exxaro therefore initiated a sales process for the disposal of its 24.4% interest in Black Mountain Mining
Proprietary Limited (“BMM”) to the Industrial Development Corporation (“IDC”).
Regretfully, the sale will no longer proceed as envisaged due to a change in the strategic priorities of the
IDC, given the prevailing global and domestic economic conditions. The conditions within which the IDC
originally considered the purchase of the shares have changed and informed a review of the transaction.
These include the immediate development impact of the proposed transaction and the fact that the IDC's
funding proceeds will not be directly utilised to yield the developmental objectives in the target company.
In addition, given the shifting dynamics in the local economic landscape, the IDC is reprioritising its capital
allocation to ensure that it is geared to actively support downstream opportunities to maximise potential job
creation and retention opportunities.
Exxaro will continue to evaluate its options in relation to the BMM investment as part of its strategic review.
