Trading statement for the six months ending 30 June 2014 Sibanye Gold Limited Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa Registration number 2002/031431/06 Share code: SGL ISIN – ZAE000173951 Issuer code: SGL (“Sibanye” or “the Company”) TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDING 30 JUNE 2014 Westonaria, 17 April 2014: In compliance with paragraphs 3.4(b) of the JSE Listing Requirements, shareholders are advised that earnings per share (EPS) for the six months ending 30 June 2014 are likely to be at least 20% higher than for the comparative period in 2013. A further, more detailed announcement will be released once a more definitive range can be given. The primary reason for the difference in EPS is due to the non- recurring items of R821 million (R591 million after tax) impairment charge relating to the Beatrix West section and restructuring cost of R343 million accounted for during the period ended 30 June 2013. Sibanye does not foresee any impairment during 2014 and restructuring costs for the six months ended 30 June 2014 should be lower. The financial information on which the trading statement has been based has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company’s auditors. Sibanye Gold will release an Operating update for the quarter ended 31 March 2014 at 08:00 (CAT) on Thursday, 24 April 2014 on SENS and on the Company website www.sibanyegold.co.za.
