Upon the Finalization Date but subject to Sections 2.06(2) and 2.07, the Vendor shall, in addition to the Consideration Shares comprising the Statutory Shareholding (including any Adjustment Consideration Shares) and the Top-Up Consideration Shares (if any), retain the Consideration Shares comprising the Net Upside Shareholding (if any) and the Cancelled Consideration Shares shall be surrendered within five Business Days for cancellation and cancelled with effect from the Finalization Date, without the payment of any consideration by Anooraq.

2.06 Finalization Date

	(1)	Upon the Finalization Date, Anooraq shall calculate:

	(b)	the number of Adjustment Consideration Shares (if any), Top-Up Consideration Shares (if any) and Cancelled Consideration Shares (if any),

as at the Finalization Date.

(2) Anooraq shall notify the Vendor and the Pelawan Trust of the result of such calculations upon the Finalization Date in writing. For illustrative purposes only, an example of the workings for the calculation of the Final Consideration Shareholding is set out in Schedule 2.06 attached hereto. The Vendor shall have ten Business Days to review such calculations and shall be deemed to have accepted them in the event that it does not deliver a written notice to Anooraq contesting the correctness of such calculations by the expiry of such ten Business Day period, such written notice to set out the basis of the Vendor’s dispute. If the Vendor contests the correctness of such calculations and Anooraq does not accept such objection within two Business Days of receiving the Vendor’s notice of dispute, the dispute shall be referred in writing by either Party to the statutory auditors of Anooraq for determination. Such auditors shall calculate the Final Consideration Shareholding within fifteen Business Days of the dispute being referred to them.

The costs of such auditors shall be borne by the Parties equally.

		(B)	the purchase price at which such Consideration Shares may be purchased shall be the nominal amount of $100, which the Parties agree shall, by reason of the Vendor or Anooraq (as the case may be) ceasing to qualify as an HDP, constitute sufficient consideration and shall not constitute a penalty;

		(C)	such rights of acquisition by Anooraq shall be capable of exercise only if assigned (for consideration of no more than $100), in the sole discretion of Anooraq, to:

			(I)	a third party of Anooraq’s choosing which is not an Affiliate of Anooraq and qualifies as an HDP, provided that:

	1.	such beneficiaries are ascertainable as a class of HDPs;

	2.	such trust is not, nor does such class of beneficiaries constitute, an Affiliate of Anooraq; and

	4.	the designated HDP to which such trust transfers the Consideration Shares shall, as a prior condition to such transfer, have agreed to be bound by the terms of the Shareholders Agreement, the Pelawan Trust Deed; and

In consideration for such mineral rights Micawber has issued to RPM ordinary shares comprising 50% of its issued share capital.

3.	The properties referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 above shall collectively be referred to hereunder as the “Farms”.

4.	On August 26, 2002, Angloplat, acting on behalf of Micawber, applied for a mining licence in terms of Section 9 of the Minerals Act, 1991 (South Africa), in respect of, among others, the farms referred to in paragraph 2 above. The terms of such application include:

A copy of such telefax, including the Salient Principles, is attached as Schedule B(a). Pursuant to such telefax, the Vendor nominated Micawber as the lessee under an intended mineral lease from the DME in respect of the farms referred to in paragraph 1 above.

8.	A mining license in terms of Section 9 of the Minerals Act, 1991 (South Africa) was issued by the DME to Micawber in respect of the farms referred to in paragraph 2 above during April, 2003.

SCHEDULE 4.05

Shareholders Agreement

1.	Transfer of Consideration Shares The Shareholders Agreement will provide that, in each case, without prejudice to any other limitations on the Transfer of any of the Consideration Shares, including those limitations contained in the Pelawan Trust Deed and any escrow agreement required for the TSX Venture Exchange:

	(a)	during the Financing Period:

		(i)	the Vendor may not Transfer any of the Consideration Shares other than the Consideration Shares comprising the Threshold Return Entitlement and may not Transfer any of the Consideration Shares where such Transfer would then result in the Current Shareholding falling below the Statutory Shareholding;

		(ii)	the Vendor shall not be entitled to Transfer any Consideration Shares comprising the Threshold Return Entitlement between the date of the public announcement of a Dilutive Financing and the date upon which such Dilutive Financing closes;

		(iii)	Anooraq shall have an assignable call option (the “Call Option”) in respect of the Consideration Shares comprising the Threshold Return Entitlement. The Call Option shall entitle Anooraq to an assignable call right (the “Call Right”) entitling Anooraq or its assignee to acquire such Consideration Shares, in whole or in part and at any time or times during the Financing Period, for a purchase consideration per share equal to:

			(A)	in respect of any parcel of Consideration Shares which would yield gross proceeds of $1,000,000 or more, the Market Price determined at the date of closing (“Delivery”) of the sale of the Consideration Shares forming the subject matter of the exercise of the Call Right, less a discount of up to 10%; or

			(B)	in respect of any parcel of Consideration Shares which would yield gross process of less than $1,000,000, the Market Price determined at Delivery.

		Each such acquisition of Consideration Shares shall be closed 10 Business Days following the delivery by Anooraq of a written notice to the Vendor exercising the Call Right. Multiple notices of exercise of the Call Right in respect of part of the Consideration Shares comprising the Threshold Return Entitlement may be delivered during the Financing Period. The Call Option may be exercised only upon the approval of a Disinterested Majority;

- 2 -


(b)	subject to paragraph (e) below, the Vendor shall not be entitled to Transfer any of the Consideration Shares in excess of the Bleed Share Entitlement, provided that:

	(i)	if, during the Financing Period, the Vendor has not Transferred its full Bleed Share Entitlement for any quarter, the remaining Bleed Share Entitlement for such quarter shall be carried forward to the next quarter and thereafter for up to three such quarters during the Financing Period so that the Vendor may sell up to 5,000,000 Consideration Shares, or such lower number of Consideration Shares which the Threshold Return Entitlement comprises;

	(ii)	if, following the Finalization Date, the Vendor has not Transferred its full Bleed Share Entitlement upon any Trading Day, the remaining Bleed Share Entitlement for such day shall be carried forward to the next Trading Day and thereafter up to 40 Trading Days so that the Vendor may sell up to 1,000,000 Consideration Shares;

(c)	should the Vendor wish to Transfer all or any of the Consideration Shares comprising the Surplus Pelawan Shareholding, other than the Bleed Share Entitlement, it shall submit an offer (“the Offer”) in writing to Anooraq, upon the following terms and conditions:

	(i)	the Offer shall:

		(A)	be in writing and delivered by the Vendor to Anooraq;

		(B)	be irrevocable and open for acceptance by Anooraq for a period of ten Business Days following the date of receipt of the Offer by Anooraq;

		(C)	stipulate a cash price (which shall be expressed and payable in CAD) at which the Vendor wishes to sell the offered Consideration Shares which price shall be payable free of set off or other deduction against delivery of the certificates in respect of the offered Consideration Shares in negotiable form;

		(D)	disclose the identity of the third party, if any, to whom the Vendor wishes to Transfer the offered Consideration Shares; and

		(E)	not, save for the above provisions of this subparagraph (i), be subject to any other terms or conditions except that:

			(I)	the whole or a part only of the Offer may be accepted;

			(II)	the Offer may be assigned by Anooraq to any third party; and

- 3 -

			(III)	in the event that the Offer is accepted, delivery of the offered Consideration Shares shall be made no later than thirty Business Days from the date of acceptance, against payment of the purchase price.

	(ii)	if an offer has been made by a third party to the Vendor, such Offer shall be accompanied by:

		(A)	a written memorandum setting out the cash price (which shall be expressed and payable in CAD) (the “Third Party Price”) and all other terms and conditions that have been offered to the Vendor orally by such third party, if any; and

		(B)	a true and complete copy of any written offer made to the Vendor by such third party, if any.

	(iii)	should Anooraq not accept the Offer, then the Vendor shall be entitled within 30 days after such non acceptance, to sell and transfer all the offered Consideration Shares (but not a part only), or any balance of such offered Consideration Shares as remain after acceptance by Anooraq of a portion of the offered Consideration Shares, but at not less than the Third Party Price and on conditions which are not more favourable to the relevant third party than those at which Anooraq was entitled to purchase the Consideration Shares in terms of the Offer;

	(iv)	to the extent that the Vendor does not sell the offered Consideration Shares in terms of these provisos, all these provisions shall again apply, mutatis mutandis, to the Transfer of the Consideration Shares by it.

(d)	save as provided in Section 2.07, from the Time of Closing up to and including the Release Date, the Vendor may not Transfer any Consideration Shares if such Transfer would result in the Current Shareholding of the Vendor following such Transfer to be less than the Lockup Shareholding. The Vendor undertakes to Anooraq, the Pelawan Trust and all persons who are shareholders of Anooraq from time to time that it shall, at all times up to the Release Date, continue to be the sole beneficial owner of the Lockup Shareholding, notwithstanding any amendment which may occur during such time to the definition of “HDP” contained in Section 1.01.

(e)	save as provided in Section 2.07, during the currency of the applicable exploration, development and mining permits and licences and mineral leases in respect of the Properties which are required in order to undertake the Ga-Phasha Project, the Drenthe-Overysel Project, the Kwanda Project or the Rietfontein Project (as the case may be), the Vendor shall not be entitled, without the prior express written consent of Anooraq, to Transfer any Consideration Shares comprising the Statutory Shareholding, unless such Transfer is:

- 4 -

		(i)	to another HDP approved in writing by the DME, Anooraq (by way of a resolution of a Disinterested Majority) and Angloplat, such HDP has agreed to be bound by the terms of the Shareholders Agreement, the Pelawan Trust Deed and the shareholding structure of that HDP is governed by agreements upon substantially similar terms to the Grandfather Shareholders Documents that will prevent such person from losing its HDP status;

		(ii)	approved by the SARB and the South African, Canadian and European Union competition authorities, to the extent required in each case;

		(iii)	effected following the expiry of the Offer in accordance with paragraph (c) above, unless such Transfer is in respect of the Bleed Share Entitlement.


2.	Management of Anooraq

	(1)	The Shareholders Agreement will provide that the Vendor will agree to vote its Current Shareholding to ensure that, for so long as the Statutory Shareholding is held by the Vendor, the Anooraq board of directors is composed of:


	(a)	a majority of persons who are HDPs; and

	(b)	an equal number of persons who are officers or directors of the Vendor and persons who are officers or directors of HDI and at least 3 Independent Directors.

(2) The intended composition of the board of directors or Anooraq from the Time of Closing is set out in Schedule 4.05(a) attached. In addition to those directors nominated by the Vendor who are not directors or officers of HDI, which nominations shall be made by the Vendor in its sole discretion, the Vendor will nominate so many persons who are existing directors or officers of HDI and so many Independent Directors which it may in its sole discretion select in order to ensure the agreed composition of the board of directors of Anooraq, provided that in the event that number of existing directors or officers of HDI holds below six persons:

(a)	the Vendor may require HDI (by written notice) to provide it with a list of such number of persons as is equal to that shortfall, such persons to be resident in North America and available for appointment to the board of Anooraq; and
(b)	the Vendor may then select the relevant persons for nomination as aforesaid from the existing directors or officer of HDI or the persons upon such list (or both), in its sole discretion.

(3) The Shareholders Agreement will provide that the Vendor and HDI shall agree that the management and officers of Anooraq shall be composed as set out in Schedule 4.05(a) attached. The Vendor and HDI shall use their reasonable endeavours to procure that the board of directors of Anooraq appoint suitably skilled persons to act as the executives of the company in accordance with the composition described above and the Vendor and HDI shall make their

- 5 -

directors, officers and employees available, to the extent reasonably possible, for appointment accordingly.

3.	Amendment of Shareholders Agreement; Waivers and Consents

	(1)	The Shareholders Agreement may not be amended without the written agreement of the Pelawan Trust, Anooraq and the Vendor.

	(2)	A consent by Anooraq to an amendment of the Shareholders Agreement, the waiver of any right thereunder or the grant of any consent thereunder shall not be valid unless confirmed by a resolution by a Disinterested Majority.

4.	Dilutive Financings Following the Finalization Date In the event that Anooraq undertakes any Dilutive Financings following the Finalization Date which have the effect of reducing the Current Shareholding of the Vendor below the Lockup Shareholding or the Statutory Shareholding, Anooraq shall be entitled, but not obliged, in accordance with the resolution of a Disinterested Majority to issue so many additional Common Shares to the Vendor as may be required to make the Current Shareholding equal to the Lockup Shareholding or Statutory Shareholding, as the case may be. All such additional Common Shares shall be held in escrow and shall be subject to cancellation, in whole or in part and without the payment of any consideration by Anooraq, in the event that the definition of “HDP” contained in Section 1.01 is amended following the Finalization Date and:

	(a)	prior to the Release Date, where such amendment results in the Statutory Shareholding being reduced, provided that the Current Shareholding following the cancellation of such Common Shares is at least equal to the Lockup Shareholding; or

	(b)	following the Release Date or, in the event of any amendment prior to the Release Date – with effect from the Release Date, where such amendment results in the Statutory Shareholding being reduced, provided that the Current Shareholding following the cancellation of such Common Shares is at least equal to such reduced Statutory Shareholding.
