Sibanye appoints head of the Southern Africa (“SA”) region

Westonaria, 13 July 2017: Further to the announcement released on 3 July 2017,
Sibanye (Tickers JSE: SGL and NYSE: SBGL) is pleased to announce that Robert van
Niekerk has been appointed as Executive Vice President: SA Region.

Robert has been an integral part of the Sibanye executive team since he joined
Sibanye in February 2013 and has fulfilled various roles within the organisation,
including, most recently as Divisional CEO: Platinum. Robert has been involved in
the mining industry for over 30 years, operating within South Africa and
internationally in senior management positions at Gold Fields and Anglo American
Platinum. Prior to joining Sibanye, Robert was Senior Vice President and Head of

Mining for the Gold Fields Group.

Robert’s appointment follows the acquisition of Stillwater Mining Company in May

2017, and a subsequent transition of the Sibanye Group organisational structure
from a divisional commodity structure to a geographical regionalised structure.

“With the significant increase in size and geographical spread of the company, this
regionalised organisational structure will provide effective leadership, ensuring
appropriate focus and skills allocation in well-defined geographical regions and

corporate functions. This focus coupled with a strong executive presence in
clearly understood social and cultural regions will position Sibanye for continued
success,” Neal Froneman, CEO of Sibanye said.

”Robert’s recognised leadership and mining experience, in particular in the complex
South African mining environment, will ensure operational success,” Froneman
concluded.
