within one to two years.

On behalf of West Wits, Malan Scholes Consulting (Pty) Ltd (MSC) appointed Elemental Sustainability (Pty) Ltd

(Elemental-S) to undertake the Environmental Authorisation Application processes that form part of two proposed

opencast mining areas that are less than five hectares, namely the Kimberley West opencast pit and Creswell Park

opencast pit. Elemental-S is the independent Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP) responsible for compiling

The One Mining Right Application:

West Wits have also lodged one Mining Right Application (MRA) to the DMR for the remainder of the proposed

West Wits Mining Project (WWMP). This will involve opencast mining and the rehabilitation of five opencast pits

areas, as well as the refurbishment of three existing underground shafts and infrastructure. The opencast pits that

form part of the MRA will be mined within three to five years. Whereas, the refurbishment of longer term

underground mining operations on the Main/South Reef and the Kimberley Reef horizons is planned for Year six to

Year 30.

2. We have been instructed to inform you that our client intends to comment on and/or oppose the West Wits Mining MLI Proprietary Limited ("West Wits") mining permits and mining right applications premised on the prospecting right under reference GP 30/5/1/1/2/10035 PR ("Prospecting Right").

3. Our client's residential developments situated on the various portions of the farms Witpoortjie 245 IQ and Vogelstruisfontein 231 IQ are affected by West Wits' applications. Notwithstanding this, our client has concerns in respect of the environmental consequences of such applications, among others.

4. We have been instructed to advise our client and to act on its behalf throughout the respective application processes, and seek hereby to come on record on behalf of our client.

5. We have been provided with copies of the background information documents ("BID") for each of the mining permits application and the mining right application respectively. We would like to request from West Wits the following additional information:

5.1 a copy of the Prospecting Right;

5.2 proof of the conversion of the Prospecting Right from the old order prospecting right under reference MPT No. 29/2016;

5.4 the underlying applications for each of the mining right and the mining permits which are subject to the two BIDs, to the extent that these have already been submitted to the competent authorities.

6. We look forward to a meaningful engagement process and to your prompt response.

7. Our client's rights are reserved.

Dear Garyn,

As briefly discussed tonight.

Please find attached:

• a copy of the Prospecting Right;

• the Notarial Deed of Renewal of the Prospecting Right

• proof of the consent under section 11 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002

obtained from the Department of Mineral Resources for West Wits to take cession of the Prospecting Right

from Mintails SA Soweto Cluster (Proprietary) Limited.

Please see responses below:

• a copy of each of (i) the mining right application; and (ii) the integrated environmental authorisation and

waste management licence application lodged at the DMR on 9 April 2018 under DMR reference number GP

30/5/1/2/2 (10068) MR, as referred to at page 5 of the Initial Scoping Report.

We will forward this to you tomorrow.

• a copy of the NEMA directive in respect of the Solplaatjie operation, referred to at page v of the Initial

Scoping Report;

A directive was issued to Dino properties (Pty) Ltd, as the surface owner of the properties. The directive is

highly perspective as too what Dino is obliged to do, to comply with the purpose of the Directive namely to

stop “Illegal gold mining taking place on (Dinos) property by various dangerous individuals”;

Dino, as a property development company, did not have the skills to discharge the obligations under the

Directive and appointed Mintails Soweto Cluster (Pty) Ltd, defined as Mintails and West Wits MLI (Pty) Ltd,

defined as West Wits, to carry out the rehabilitation activities prescribed in the Directive. West Wits are

therefore carrying out the rehabilitation activities on behalf of Dino properties (Pty) Ltd.

Should you have any further queries, please feel free to contact us or come to our office.

Kind regards,

Dear Marline

West Wits Mining Project

1. Thank you again for procuring our registration on your I&AP database.

2. Having extended your invitation to our client, we have been informed that our client has

already had an initial meeting with West Wits. We are instructed that the parties reached

a stalemate in the respective parties' purposes for the affected portions of land.

3. Accordingly, our client does not see value in having a further discussion until a credible

proposal is presented for discussion which would alleviate our client's concerns regarding

the applications that have been submitted by West Wits.

4. We wish to further note that our request in paragraph 5 of our letter to SLR, dated 10 May

2018, has not been fulfilled, in that we have not received copies of documentation

pertaining to the relevant prospecting right. Please let us have these as a matter of

urgency.

5. Our client's rights are reserved.

Yours faithfully

Dear Marline

West Wits Mining Project / ANSEC Developments 171 Proprietary Limited

1. We refer to our correspondence dated 10 May 2018 and 23 May 2018, to which we have

received no substantive response to date. All defined terms herein shall bear the

meanings ascribed to them in the above correspondence.

2. We wish to record that your and West Wits' continued failure to acquiesce to our client's

requests for information is jeopardising our client's ability to meaningfully engage with and

comment on the reports and processes being published by West Wits for the purposes of

its mining right and mining permit applications, which failure will negatively impact on

West Wits' compliance with due process and which will be brought to the competent

authority's attention.

3. Accordingly, we have been instructed to reiterate our client's request for the following

documentation:

3.1 a copy of the Prospecting Right;

3.2 proof of the conversion of the Prospecting Right from the old order prospecting right under reference MPT No. 29/2016; and

3.3 proof of the consent under section 11 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002 obtained from the Department of Mineral Resources for

West Wits to take cession of the Prospecting Right from Mintails SA Soweto Cluster (Proprietary) Limited.

4. We wish to further request the following information, pursuant to our review of the Initial

Scoping Report for the Proposed West Wits Mining Project, submitted as part of the

application process for environmental authorisation in terms of the National Environmental

Management Act, 1998 ("NEMA") and the National Environmental Management Waste

Act, 2008 in respect of listed activities that have been triggered by applicants in terms of

the MPRDA, prepared by SLR Consulting (South Africa) Proprietary Limited as the

responsible environmental assessment practitioner, which report was published for public

comment on 17 May 2018 ("Initial Scoping Report"):

4.1 a copy of the NEMA directive in respect of the Solplaatjie operation, referred to at page v of the Initial Scoping Report; and

4.2 a copy of each of (i) the mining right application; and (ii) the integrated environmental authorisation and waste management licence application lodged at the DMR on 9 April 2018 under DMR reference number GP 30/5/1/2/2 (10068) MR, as referred to at page 5 of the Initial Scoping Report.

Dear Marline Medallie

Thanks for the info.

It is just a pity that West Wits Mining has already begun operations in the affected areas such as Sol Plaaitjies are in

full swing(just outside Roodepoort CBD)

Your client has little or no regard for the law. They have made promises to people in Sol Plaaitjies of housing, etc. It

is underhanded and disgusting.
