Annexure 2

ELUTION SERVICES DESCRIPTION AND FLOWCHART

1. Loaded Carbon (carbon particles which have attracted Au-CN molecules (gold-cyanide) is produced in a Carbon-in-▇▇▇▇▇ process (CIL) – Saaiplaas has its own CIL plant;

2. The Loaded Carbon produced in the Saaiplaas Plant is screened and bagged at Saaiplaas Plant and then transported to Harmony’s Central plant by road;

3. The Loaded Carbon is sampled for gold content as a check for gold accounting purposes in the event of a dispute between the Central and Saaiplaas Plants;

4. Central Plant treats the Loaded Carbon using an Elution process (the stripping of the Au-CN molecules from the carbon particles through a Caustic Wash);

5. The Central Plant has two Elution circuits operating completely independently;

6. One Elution circuit is dedicated to the Loaded Carbon sent from the Phoenix Plant, whilst another is shared by Central and ▇▇▇▇ Plants. Therefore the Elution of the Saaiplaas Loaded Carbon is undertaken in a dedicated closed circuit, with no other gold entering or exiting the dedicated Phoenix Elution circuit;

7. The Caustic Wash produces an Eluant solution (Au-CN molecule in solution);

8. The Eluant is sent to the Electrowinning process (where gold is plated onto cathodes and Gold plated onto the cathodes is washed, filtered and dried;

9. Spend Eluant (solution exiting the electrowinning process) is pumped to the Central Plant CIP circuit;

10. Spend Phoenix Eluant is sampled and gold content calculated. The gold determined to be contained in the spent Eluant is credited to Phoenix Plant and subtracted from Central Plant’s production;

11. Total gold allocated to the Phoenix Plant is equal to the sum of the actual gold eluted (and recovered from the electrowinning process plus gold in the Phoenix spend Eluant;

12. After Elution, the carbon particles are regenerated and returned to Saaiplaas Plant;

13. Central Plant charges PhoenixCo a fixed rand per Elution rate calculated monthly, per carbon ton eluted. (Therefore the aggregate of direct cost and overheads divided by tons treated);

14. Gold sludge is sent to Rand Refinery for treatment and production of pure gold; and

15. Refining charges are assigned to all Harmony operations based on gold production (and PhoenixCo will continue to contribute to the aggregate Harmony refining cost based on gold ounces produced.
