Sibanye Gold Limited
Trading as Sibanye-Stillwater

Registration number 2002/031431/06
Share code: SGL

Issuer code: SGL
(“Sibanye-Stillwater” or “the Group” or “the Company”)

Beneficial interest in securities

Johannesburg, 27 December 2018. In accordance with section 122(3) (b) of the
Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008 and section 3.83(b) of the JSE Limited Listings
Requirements, shareholders are hereby advised that the Company has received formal
notification that Van Eck Associates Corporation (Van Eck) has disposed of American
Depositary Receipts (ADRs) of the Company which has, in aggregate, resulted in Van
Eck’s holding of the total issued ordinary shares of the Company, reducing from
9.12% to 4.97%.

As a result of the Group’s growth in the Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) sector and
high prevailing PGM spot prices, revenue from Sibanye-Stillwater’s gold operations
has reduced to less than 40% of its total revenues, and it was consequently
excluded from the NYSE ARCA Gold Miners index, the benchmark for the Van Eck ETF
fund, during the recent quarterly review.

As required in terms of Section 122 of the Companies Act, the required notice will
be filed with the Takeover Regulation Panel.

Ends.
