Notes: Reserve and resource inventory included Explorator Limitada ('Manica') in the prior year. EBITDA is represented by earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation. BTRP capital expenditure relates directly to plant and tailings storage facility construction, and excludes the purchase of additional Harper tailings and the associated land purchased in the prior years of ZAR12.1 million. Evander Mines prior year production results were obtained from Harmony Gold Mining Company Ltd ('Harmony'), for comparative purposes only. The prior year Evander Mines cost per kilogram figures were recalculated based on historical financial records to allow for consistent reporting with the group's current gold operations. Therefore the values may vary from Harmony previously announced values. The Group only began consolidating the Evander Mines results from 1 March 2013 for accounting purposes. PGE 6E's are platinum, palladium, rhodium, gold, ruthenium and iridium. Phoenix Platinum average PGE 6E net revenue price received represents the value received per ounce following refining. Ron Holding, CEO of Pan African Resources commented: "We are pleased with the Group's operating and financial performance over the last six months. The results affirm our commitment to sustainable delivery. Evander Mines has been fully integrated into the Group and is performing as anticipated. In addition, the BTRP has been commissioned, and is delivering ounces at an exceptional margin. Despite cost pressures and lower gold prices received, we have improved profitability and cash flows". Nature of business Pan African is an African-focused precious metals producer, currently producing in excess of 200,000oz of gold and platinum per annum. The Company's strategy of investing in long life, high grade operations with attractive margins and low cash cost profiles has the primary objective of ensuring continued growth in shareholder value. Any investment project, such as the Evander Mines acquisition, must be either near or at the production stage, which enables the Company to maintain and improve its resource base and its profit margins. Pan African has a strong statement of financial position that enables the Group to fund all on-mine capital expenditure from internally-generated funds, whilst also generating a cash return for shareholders in the form of annual dividends. Financial Performance Key external drivers of the Group's results: Exchange rates and their impact on results All of the Group's subsidiaries are incorporated in South Africa and their functional currency is ZAR. The Group's books of prime entry are maintained in ZAR and, with the exception of product sales, which are conducted in US dollars ('USD') prior to conversion into ZAR, business is primarily conducted in ZAR. The ongoing review of the results of operations conducted by executive management and by the board of directors is also performed in ZAR. The Group's presentation currency is GBP, due to its holding Company, Pan African Resources PLC, being incorporated in England and Wales and dual-listed in the United Kingdom and South Africa. In the current financial period, the average ZAR/GBP exchange rate was ZAR15.94:1 (2012: ZAR13.49:1), and the closing ZAR/GBP exchange rate was ZAR17.29:1 (2012: ZAR13.69:1). The period-on-period change in the average and closing exchange rates (a weakening of the ZAR against the GBP of 18.2% and 26.3% respectively) must be taken into account for the purposes of translating and comparing period-on-period results. The Group converts and records its revenue from precious metals sales in ZAR, and the deterioration in the value of the ZAR/USD exchange rate during the financial year had a compensating effect on the weaker USD metals price revenue. The average ZAR/USD exchange rate was 18.8% weaker at ZAR10.06:1 (2012: ZAR8.47:1). The commentary below analyses the current and prior year's results. Key aspects of the Group's ZAR results appear in the body of this commentary and have been used as the basis against which its financial performance is measured. The gross GBP equivalent figures can be calculated by applying the exchange rates as detailed above. Commodity prices During the period under review, lower gold prices were received for gold sales, when compared to the comparable period prices. Gold prices retreated considerably during the last quarter of the previous financial year ended 30 June 2013, which also impacted the average USD gold price received in the current financial reporting period. The Group realised an average gold price of USD1,311/oz, a decrease of 22.2% from the USD1,685/oz achieved in the comparable period. The average ZAR gold price received by the Group decreased by 7.6% to ZAR424,022/kg (2012: ZAR458,898/kg) with the decline in USD prices partly compensated for by the weakening in the ZAR against the USD. The PGM 6E basket market price (taking into account the prill split) during the six months ended 31 December 2013 decreased by 7.7% to USD1,122/oz (2012: USD1,215/oz). Phoenix Platinum achieved an average PGM 6E net revenue price of USD932/oz (2012: USD1,013/oz), after taking into account the terms of its off-take agreement with Western Platinum Limited. The average ZAR PGE 6E net revenue price received by the Group increased by 9.3% to ZAR9,380/oz (2012: ZAR8,579/oz). The price was assisted by the weakening of ZAR against the USD. Statement of Comprehensive Income Six month ended 31 December 2013 Six months ended 31 December 2012 Movement ZAR (millions) GBP (millions) ZAR (millions) GBP (millions) ZAR GBP Revenue 1,349.1 84.6 668.1 49.5 101.9% 70.9% Cost of production (862.5) (54.1) (347.4) (25.8) 148.3% 109.7% Mining profit 402.5 25.2 292.1 21.7 37.8% 16.1% EBITDA 450.8 28.3 259.3 19.2 73.9% 47.4% Profit after taxation 275.9 17.3 166.6 12.4 65.6% 39.5% EPS (cents/pence) 15.11 0.95 11.50 0.85 31.4% 11.8% HEPS (cents/pence) 15.11 0.95 11.50 0.85 31.4% 11.8% Group revenue increased by 101.9% to ZAR1,349.1 million (2012: ZAR668.1 million). Evander Mines contributed ZAR565.6 million, Phoenix Platinum contributed ZAR1.1 million and Barberton Mines contributed ZAR114.3 million, which resulted in a ZAR681.0 million increase in revenue from the three operations. Barberton Mines recorded an increase in revenue primarily due to an increase in gold ounces sold from the newly commissioned BTRP. The Group realised an average gold price received of ZAR424,022/kg (2012: ZAR458,898/kg) and an average net revenue price received for PGE 6E of ZAR9,380/oz (2012: ZAR8,579/oz). The Group's total cost of production increased 148.3% to ZAR862.5 million (2012: ZAR347.4 million). Evander Mines contributed ZAR426.8 million, and Phoenix Platinum ZAR2.3 million to the increase. Barberton Mines' costs increased by ZAR86.0 million as a result of inflationary increases to mining costs as well as the incorporation of BTRP costs of production. The table below reflects the consolidated Group's overall gold operations costs per kilogram. World gold council Units Six months ended 31 Six months ended 31 Movement cost analysis: December 2013 December 2012 Cash cost (ZAR/ 269,670 233,021 15.7% kg) All-in sustaining cash (ZAR/ 312,219 285,327 9.4% costs kg) All-in costs (ZAR/ 337,673 344,826 (2.1%) kg) The Group's cost of production per kilogram increased by 15.7% to ZAR269,670/kg (2012: ZAR233,021/kg). Evander Mines' cost of production averaged ZAR318,616/kg (2012: ZAR294,172/kg), compared to Barberton Mines' overall average cost of production of ZAR232,611/kg (2012: ZAR233,021/kg). The main contributing factor to the increased cost of production was the incorporation of Evander Mines' higher average cost of production as result of their current low-grade mining cycle. The Group's all-in sustaining cash cost of production1 per kilogram (including direct cost of production, royalties, associated corporate costs and overheads and sustainable capital expenditure) increased by 9.4% to ZAR312,219/kg (2012: ZAR285,327/kg), largely impacted by marginal increases in on-mine maintenance and development capital expenditure, a decrease in royalty charges as result of lower gold price received and decreases in corporate overheads as a result of profits received on closure of a zero cost collar on the gold price. The Group's all-in cost per kilogram (sustaining cost of production plus once-off expansion capital) decreased by 2.1% to reflect ZAR337,673/kg (2012: ZAR344,826/kg), primarily due to completion of the BTRP construction which resulted in lower expansion capital spent in the current period. The all-in cost per kilogram reflects the Group's current overall available gold mining and cashflow margins comparable to the average gold price received of ZAR424,022/kg (2012: ZAR458,898/kg). The Group's EBITDA increased by 73.9% to ZAR450.8 million (2012: ZAR259.3 million), mainly due to the inclusion of Evander Mines results (ZAR123.1 million) as well as the newly constructed BTRP (ZAR85.1 million). Pan African Resources achieved an increase of 65.6% in profit after tax to ZAR275.9 million (2012: ZAR166.6 million), due to inter alia, the following reasons: - The incorporation of Evander Mines results; - The increase in Barberton Mines earnings as a result of the recently constructed BTRP. The Group's EPS and HEPS in ZAR amounted to 15.11 cents (2012: 11.50 cents), an increase of 31.4% from the comparable period. The rights issue during January 2013 to partly fund the Evander Mines acquisition increased the weighted average number of shares in issue by 26.0% to 1,825.6 million shares (2012: 1,449.4 million).

Current assets at 31 December 2013 exclude non-current assets held for sale of ZAR3.2 million (GBP0.2 million),relating to Barberton Mines Segalla Plant. Non-current assets increased by 2.5% to ZAR3,817.9 million mainly as a result of capital expenditure incurred of ZAR160.8 million less depreciation of ZAR81.4 million at the mining operations. The investment in associate decreased by ZAR1.5 million due to consolidated Auroch Minerals NL ('Auroch') share of exploration expenditure incurred. The rehabilitation trust fund amount is invested in interest-bearing short-term investments or medium-term equity linked notes issued by commercial banks which increased to ZAR270.9 million during the current period (30 June 2013: ZAR254.8 million). Group capital expenditure incurred amounted to ZAR160.8 million (2012: ZAR122.7 million) as detailed per operation below: Six month ended 31 December 2013 Six months ended 31 December 2012 Movement ZAR (millions) GBP (millions) ZAR (millions) GBP (millions) ZAR GBP Barberton Mines 84.5 5.3 121.6 9.0 (30.5%) (41.1%) Evander Mines1 74.8 4.7 - - - - Phoenix Platinum 0.2 - 1.0 0.1 (80.0%) (100.0%) Corporate 1.3 0.1 0.1 - 1200.0% 100.0% Total capital expenditure 160.8 10.1 122.7 9.1 31.1% 11.0% Notes: 1. Evander Mines capital expenditure incurred was consolidated from 1 March 2013, therefore the comparable period capital expenditure was attributable to Harmony. Current assets decreased by 18.0% to ZAR329.1 million, as a result of decreases in accounts receivable and taxation receivable balance. The accounts receivable reduced due to receiving funds for gold shipments from the refinery sooner than in comparison to the year ended 30 June 2013. The Group's debtor days decreased to 16 days (30 June 2013: 30 days), due to lower debtor balances in comparison to the year ended 30 June 2013. Contributing to the increase in the Group's equity is the current period's retained income, as a result of profit after tax of ZAR275.9 million less dividends paid of R240.3 million. Non-current liabilities increased by 5.7% to ZAR1,269.7 million, due to an increase in the Revolving Credit Facility ('RCF') debt. At 31 December 2013, an amount of ZAR200.9 million (30 June 2013: ZAR165.2 million) of this RCF debt remains outstanding and is included in non-current and current liabilities. Current liabilities decreased by 24.7% to ZAR272.0 million. The majority of the decrease related to the settlement of current payables during the final phase of the BTRP construction. The decrease in the accounts payable resulted in the creditor days decreasing to 53 days (30 June 2013: 59 days). Statement of Cash Flow The Group's cash and cash equivalents remained relatively consistent at ZAR73.5 million (30 June 2013: ZAR71.6 million) despite finalising the construction of the BTRP, and a payment of the dividend of ZAR240.3 million in December 2013. The Group was able to generate sufficient cashflows from operations even though the ZAR gold price decreased by 7.6% to ZAR424,022/kg (2012: ZAR458,898/kg) to fund on-mine capital expenditure of ZAR160.8 million. The Group remains cash generative with a net debt position of ZAR127.4 million (30 June 2013: ZAR93.6 million). The cash generated by the operations is a reflection of our relatively low-cost operations and available profit margins.

Although safety is the top priority at Pan African Resources, it is with deep regret that we report two fatal accidents suffered at Barberton Mines. On 8 July 2013, Elias Mabaso passed away after a fall of ground incident at Barberton's Sheba Mine. On 30 July 2013, Judas Ben Bendani passed away after a fall of ground incident at Barberton's Fairview Mine. Subsequent to these accidents, employees were counselled and engaged as to possible causes and remedial actions to prevent similar accidents happening in the future. Barberton Mines' total recordable injury frequency rate ('TRIFR') increased to 15.59 (2012: 13.81) per 1,000,000 man hours worked, and the lost time injury frequency rate ('LTIFR') improved to 1.56 (2012: 2.16) per 1,000,000 man hours worked. Due to two fatalities at the operations during July 2013, the reportable injury frequency rate ('RIFR') has shown a regression to 0.94 (2012: 0.62) per 1,000,000 man hours worked.

The total combined USD cash costs per ounce decreased by 16.0% to USD719/oz (2012: USD856/oz). In ZAR per kilogram terms, total cash costs decreased by 0.2% to ZAR232,611/kg (2012: ZAR233,021/kg). The total cost of production increased by 26.5% to ZAR410.4 million (2012: ZAR324.4 million). The main cost contributors were a period-on-period increase on salary and wages of 19% to ZAR182.9 million (2012: ZAR153.7 million). The increase was driven by additional employees for the management of the BTRP and the introduction of a medical aid scheme for category workers 4 to 8 to which the company contributes 60% towards each member's premium. Mining cost increased by 1% to ZAR51.5 million (2012: ZAR51.0 million). Processing costs increased by 164.1% to ZAR75.0 million (2012: ZAR28.4 million), due to the additional reagents required by the BTRP. Engineering and technical services costs increased by 15.4% to ZAR29.2 million (2012: ZAR25.3 million). The majority of this increase was for additional secondary support installations required at Fairview mine. Electricity costs increased by 12.5%, which were higher than the average 8% increase in Eskom tariffs due to the additional electricity usage at the BTRP. Barberton Mines security costs only increased by 1.5% to ZAR13.3 million (2012: ZAR13.1 million). The mines administration and other costs increased in line with CPI by 5.5% to ZAR15.4 million (2012: ZAR14.6 million). Barberton Mines' combined all-in cash cost decreased by 14.4% to ZAR295,134/kg (2012: ZAR344,826/kg). This decrease was mainly as a result of once-off non-sustainable capital invested in building the BTRP which ended during July 2013. Mining operations Barberton Mines (excluding BTRP) gold sold increased marginally to 45,405oz (2012: 44,926oz). Mining operations tons milled decreased by 4.2% to 149,589t (2012: 156,106t). The decrease in tons milled was mostly due to a decrease of 5,655t in surface stockpiles processed. The underground head grade remained relatively constant at 11.5g/t (2012: 11.3g /t), supported by improved recoveries of 92% during the biox processing (2012: 90%). The total underground and surface USD cash costs per ounce decreased by 8.1% to USD787/oz (2012: USD856/oz). The ZAR per kilogram terms, total cash costs increased by 9.2% to ZAR254,506/kg (2012: ZAR233,021/kg). Tailing operations - BTRP The BTRP construction was completed during June 2013 and commissioned on 1 July 2013 for accounting purposes. BTRP gold sold was 11,603oz for the period. The plant processed 343,137t of tailings at a headgrade of 1.7g/t and achieved a higher than expected recovery of 60%. The BTRP USD cash costs per ounce were USD454/oz. In ZAR per kilogram terms, total cash costs were ZAR146,928/kg. Capital expenditure Total capital expenditure at Barberton Mines decreased by 30.5% to ZAR84.5 million (2012: ZAR121.6 million). Maintenance capital expenditure of ZAR13.7 million (2012: ZAR18.5 million) and development capital expenditure of ZAR35.0 million (2012: ZAR20.0 million) was incurred.

Mining operations tons milled increased by 3.6% to 311,497t (2012: 300,555t). The increase in tons milled was mostly due to an increase in surface stockpiles processed of 19,437t, whilst underground tons milled decreased by 8,495t. The underground head grade decreased to 6.2g/t (2012: 6.6g/t), despite improved recoveries of 97% (2012: 95%). The total cost of production increased by 2.5% to ZAR426.8 million (2012: ZAR416.4 million1). The Evander Mines management team have focussed on containing their costs whilst in the lower grade mining cycle. The main cost contributors were a period-on-period increase in salary and wages of 7.4% to ZAR221.4 million (2012: ZAR206.1 million). The salary and wages increased as result of the Chamber of Mines wage settlement, which averaged 8% for Evander Mines employees. Mining cost increased by 11.0% to ZAR19.2 million (2012: ZAR17.3 million) due to additional vamping occurring in 7 Shaft. Processing costs increased by 13.4% to ZAR50.9 million (2012: ZAR44.9 million), due to the additional tonnages processed through the plant. Engineering and technical services costs increased by 11.5% to ZAR23.3 million (2012: ZAR20.9 million). The majority of this increase related to additional costs to improve on the maintenance of infrastructure and the trackless fleet. Electricity and water costs increased by 4.1%, this was lower than the average 8% increase in Eskom tariffs due to lower underground tonnages processed. The security costs increased by 40.7% to ZAR8.3 million (2012: ZAR5.9 million) as result of additional security costs allocated from Harmony to Evander Mines in relation to old closed shafts. The mines administration and other costs decreased by 60.5% to ZAR13.4 million (2012: ZAR34.9 million) as result of not sharing in Harmony's corporate and exploration costs in the current year. The total underground and surface USD cash costs per ounce decreased by 8.8% to USD985/oz (2012: USD1080/oz). However, in ZAR per kilogram terms, total cash costs increased by 8.3% to ZAR318,616/kg (2012: ZAR294,172/kg1). Note: The prior year Evander Mines values were obtained from historical financial records to allow for consistent reporting with the group's current gold operations costs. Therefore the values may vary from Harmony's previously announced values. Capital expenditure Total capital expenditure at Evander Mines was ZAR74.8 million (2012: ZAR108.8 million). Maintenance capital expenditure was ZAR16.3 million (2012: ZAR34.2 million) and development capital expenditure was ZAR58.5 million (2012: ZAR74.6 million). Review of platinum tailings operations Review of Phoenix Platinum Safety Phoenix maintained its excellent safety record, with no injuries recorded. Operating performance Phoenix Platinum PGE 6E ounces sold decreased by 4.8% to 2,987oz PGE 6E (2012: 3,136oz PGE 6E). Production at the Phoenix Platinum Chrome Tailing Retreatment Plant ('CTRP') was affected by furnace ash and talc material which was historically deposited by on the Buffelsfontein dumps. Furnace ash and talc dilutes the final concentrate grade and must be chemically modified to stop a negative effect on the recoveries. The problem was identified by a process of elimination and by metallurgical test work carried out. The CTRP is operating within the strategic plan objectives since December 2013 with an estimated 500 PGE 6E ounces lost during the period under review as a result of the difficulties described above. The CTRP was designed to treat sulphide material from the Lesedi Mine, which initially supplied Phoenix Platinum with sulphide-rich material. However the ferrochrome producer subsequently stopped its underground operations at Lesedi and is now mining only oxidised material from their open cast section. This resulted in oxidised tailings being blended into the Phoenix Platinum feedstock. The metallurgy of oxidised tailings negatively affects the recovery and concentrate grade in the CTRP. This in turn results in poor PGM concentrate production. The effective average PGE 6E basket price received increased by 9.3% ZAR9,380/ oz (2012: ZAR8,579/oz). Cost per ounce of production increased primarily as a result of lower ounces produced by 15.7% to ZAR8,484/oz (2012: ZAR7,334/oz ), additional costs were also incurred on metallurgical test work to mitigate the effect of reduced recoveries achieved as a result of talc identified in the tailings processed. The plant feed decreased during the period by 14.7% to 118,259t (2012: 138,561t).

Near-term production Evander Tailings Retreatment Plant The Group has undertaken to finalise a feasibility to upgrade and rehabilitate the CIL tanks of the Evander Mines Kinross plant, to create additional processing capacity to treat 200,000 tons per month of tailings. The project pre-feasibility results are positive with an average headgrade estimated at 0.33 g/t, at an estimated recovery of between 38%-42%. Based on current estimates, the project could initially produce approximately 10,000oz of gold per annum. The capital expenditure is projected to be approximately ZAR190 million with a construction period of less than 12 months to first gold production. The project will leverage off the current plant infrastructure and labour, which will result in a marginal increase in the cost per ton to process the additional tailings. AurochMinerals NL ('Auroch') Auroch is an exploration company focused on developing and exploring the Manica Gold Project ('Manica') in Mozambique. Manica was previously owned by Pan African Resources and after its sale to Auroch during January 2013, Pan African Resources received 42% of the issued share capital of Auroch. During the reporting period, the Group consolidated ZAR1.4 million of Auroch's exploration and corporate costs incurred and disclosed on the Statement of comprehensive income under 'Loss in Associate'. The Group announced on 26 November 2013 that Pan African entered into an agreement with Auroch on 25 November 2013 in terms of which: 1. Auroch shall pay Pan African an amount of AUD 2,000,000 in cash, as full and final settlement of the Transaction Purchase Consideration and Future Consideration ('Cash Consideration') as follows: Auroch shall pay Pan African AUD 150,000 of the Cash Consideration by no later than 30 November 2013; and Auroch shall settle the remaining portion of the Cash Consideration by 1 March 2014 ('Payment Date'), but may extend the Payment Date by a further 2 months by paying Pan African an amount of AUD 50,000 per month of extension prior to the Payment Date, as extended, and such payments shall serve as part payment of the Cash Consideration; and 2. if Auroch settles the Cash Consideration in accordance with the amendment, Pan African shall allow Auroch to reacquire or cancel the Consideration Shares at no additional cost or consideration. In the event that Auroch fails to settle the cash consideration pursuant to the amendment, the amendment will expire and the provisions of the Original Agreement will be restored. Any payment made under the amendment would remain non-refundable. Should the original agreement be restored Pan African would be entitled to enforce settlement of any outstanding debt and potentially recoup the exploration project due to non-settlement of Auroch's current liability to Pan African Resources.

Segment Reporting A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged in providing products or services in a particular business sector or segment, which is subject to risk and rewards that are different to those of other segments. The Group's business activities were conducted through five business segments: - Barberton Mines (Including BTRP), located in Barberton South Africa, - Evander Gold Mining (Pty) Ltd and Evander Gold Mines Ltd ('Collectively known as Evander Mines'), located in Evander South Africa, - Phoenix Platinum, located near Rustenburg South Africa, - Corporate and growth projects and, - Pan African Resources Funding Company (Pty) Ltd ('Funding Company'). The Chief executive officer reviews the operations in accordance with the disclosures presented above. Pan African Resources Outlook We have delivered a sound set of interim results, despite external pressures from a weakening gold price and cost increases. We focus on sustainable profitable ounces and not merely to increase ounces produced or to increase resource ounces. The acquisition of Evander Mines has effectively doubled the size of our company. Evander Mine's 31.6Moz of gold resources offers significant expansion potential and optionality for our Group. The meaningful contribution from Evander Mines during the last six months, despite the mining activity moving into a lower grade mining cycle, further demonstrates the quality of this asset. During the period under review, we successfully commissioned the BTRP at Barberton Mines, within schedule and on budget. The BTRP tailings operation supports Barberton Mine's reputation as a long-life, low-cost gold producer. Production from Barberton Mines will continue to under pin the Company's profitability by sustaining its gold production and well controlled costs. We are pleased to have reached agreement with Auroch on a possible transaction regarding our interest in their company. Even though we have confidence in the Auroch management team and in the Manica project, the investment is no longer a fit with Pan African's profile, and finalising this transaction would benefit our shareholders. The final six months of our financial year is likely to be challenging, particularly given the bearish sentiment regarding USD gold prices and inflationary pressures that we can expect from the weakening ZAR. The lower grade cycle at Evander Mines will also now be in full force, and will impact production as well as cash unit costs. We will continue to seek ways of mitigating this situation to continue to deliver returns to shareholders.
