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.

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.

All-in costs (ZAR/ 337,673 344,826 (2.1%)

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).

Notes:
1. 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

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.

Review of Barberton Mines
Safety
This past six months was not without disappointments and challenges from a
safety perspective. 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.

Operating performance
Barberton Mines (including BTRP) gold sold increased 26.9% to 57,008oz (2012:
44,926oz).
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. The BTRP capital expenditure for
the six months ended totalled ZAR35.8 million (2012: ZAR83.1 million).

Operating performance
Evander Mines gold sold decreased to 43,164oz (2012: 45,590oz). 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.
Pan African is also well positioned to take advantage of acquisition
opportunities that the current climate is creating.
Our thanks again go out to all the staff of Pan African, for their daily
contributions that continue to drive our success.
