SALIENT FEATURES OF BAUBA
The board of directors released announcements dated 15 February 2010 and 17 May 2010, proposing the
acquisition of an effective 60% controlling interest in Bauba in terms of an agreement dated 12 February
2010 and addendum thereto dated 3 May 2010. The agreement contained a number of conditions precedent
which needed to be met prior to the issue of this circular. The acquisition will transform the Company into
a junior miner with its main focus being on platinum resources and will also result in a change in control
together with a restructure of the board of directors.
The proposed acquisition gives effect to Absolutes stated strategic intention of procuring mineral assets for
exploration and bringing such assets to production.
1. THE BAUBA PROJECT AND LOCATION
Bauba holds prospecting rights over eight farms (refer to location map below) which are prospective
for platinum mineralisation in the Eastern Bushveld Igneous Complex, encompassing an area
of approximately 50km in length and 6km in width (approximating 12 700 hectares) along the Leolo
mountain range in the Limpopo Province, collectively the Bauba Project. The farms cover the known
down-dip extent of several current development projects and operating mines on the Eastern limb of
the Bushveld Igneous Complex. The geological location is expected to reveal both Merensky Reef and
UG-2 Chromitite Layer occurrences as extensive exploration programmes have been conducted on the
properties neighbouring the Bauba Project.
The prospecting rights are geographically clustered as follows:
The Southern Cluster comprising the farms Genokakop 284 KT and Grootvygenboom 285 KT as well
as the Houtbosch prospecting right as described in paragraph 2 below;
The Central Cluster comprising the farms Magneetsvlakte 541 KS and Dingaanskop 543 KT; and
The Northern Cluster comprising the farms Fisant Laagte 506 KT, the remainder of Indi 474 KS,
Zwitzerland 473 KS and Schoonoord 462 KS.
A location map is set out below:
14
2. HOUTBOSCH PROSPECTING RIGHT

In addition, Bauba has been granted a prospecting right over Houtbosch. This prospecting right is pending
notarial execution and registration in the Mining Titles Registration Office. Upon this being achieved, in
the name of Bauba, Absolute will issue an additional 21 189 600 shares in Absolute to the vendors at
an issue price of R5.00 per share and equating to an additional consideration of R105 948 000 as the
Company will effectively hold a 60% interest in the Houtbosch prospecting right through its effective 60%
shareholding in Bauba.
3. CONSIDERATION PAYABLE
The purchase consideration of R340 623 000 is to be settled through the issue of 68 124 600 new shares
in Absolute at an issue price of R5.00 per share.
The consideration for the Houtbosch prospecting right is to be settled through the issue of an additional
21 189 600 new shares in Absolute at an issue price of R5.00 per share.
4. ISSUE OF SHARES FOR CASH TO FUND WORK PROGRAMME
In order to determine the nature and extent of the platinum mineralisation (including a resource base
which is SAMREC compliant) the Company intends to secure commitments from both existing and new
shareholders for a minimum capital raising of R60 million. The full amount of funds raised will be employed
by the Company on drilling, the geological assaying and modeling, the early design and planning work
(including scoping study) and for working capital requirements.
To that effect, R20 million of the above funds will be advanced to Bauba to be applied to
a systematic exploration programme, designed in conjunction with an Independent Competent
Person, to determine the resource base (SAMREC compliant), geological nature and extent, depth and
structure. The exploration programme will comprise of geological mapping, 3D seismic surveys and
diamond drilling.
Drilling will be undertaken in a predetermined sequence starting with the Southern and Central clusters
followed by the Northern cluster. On 6 April 2010 two drill rigs were established on site. Drilling is
progressing well.
The remaining balance of R40 million will be available for working capital and ongoing drilling, geological
and exploration related costs.
It is the intention of the Company to raise up to R150 million, inclusive of the above minimum capital
raising in order to fast track the drilling and exploration of the mineral assets.
5. NAME CHANGE AND TRANSFER TO THE MAIN BOARD OF THE JSE
As part of a repositioning and rebranding exercise it is proposed that the Company changes its name
to Bauba Platinum Limited pursuant to the Bauba acquisition, which holds primarily platinum resource
assets.
The Company will transfer to the Main Board of the JSE and trade under the share code BAU, subject
to the Company retaining the spread of shareholders as required in terms of the Listings Requirements.
6. RECONSTITUTION OF THE BOARD AND MANAGEMENT TEAM
Mr Petrus (Pine) Pienaar is to be appointed as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to complement the
management team of Mr Mark Rosslee, whose appointment will change from CEO to Financial Director.
To give full effect to the change in control and the development of the new business imperative offered
by the Bauba Project, a change in the composition of the board is proposed, which will include the
proposed appointment of Messrs Jonathan Best (Chairman), Kenneth Dicks and Sholto Dolamo, all of
whom will be appointed as independent non-executive directors. Dr Mathews Phosa will be appointed
as a non-executive director. The profiles of the new directors are contained in Appendix 6 to the Revised
Listing Particulars.
15
The Company also has access to the consultative expertise of Mr Dennis Tucker and geologist
Mr Stephen Gain.
The combined team has extensive PGM industry knowledge, corporate finance and deal-making
experience with access to a widespread network within the South African mining and corporate
environment.
Full details of the board restructure are contained in paragraph 9 of the circular.
7. BBBEE (BROAD-BASED BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT)
The proposed transactions will ensure full compliance with the requirements and spirit of participation by
Historically Disadvantaged South Africans (HDSAs) in the mining industry as per the Mining Charter.
The Bapedi Nation holds 37.6% in Bauba, whilst Hlabirwa will retain its interest in the Bauba Project
through its direct retained shareholding in Bauba of 2.4% and its indirect shareholding of 3.6% through
its 6.1% shareholding in Absolute, thereby ensuring the continuous involvement of the surrounding
community. Whilst Absolute is aware that chieftainship of the Bapedi Nation remains unresolved, this
does not impact on the Bauba acquisition or the legal status of the mineral rights as the Bapedi Nation
is not a vendor. The Company has received legal opinion confirming this position.
The Math-Pin Trust (deemed to be BEE) and Calulo will hold an effective 6.5% and 3.6%, which equates
to a 3.9% and 2.2% interest in the Bauba Project, respectively. The effective cumulative interest by BEE
in the Bauba Project will therefore equate to 49.7%. The Company is committed to the development of
these properties to the benefit of the surface right owners through a detailed community development
plan in terms of which these prospecting rights were conferred.
8. SOUND PLATFORM TO CREATE VALUE
The board believes the proposed transaction provides the Company with:
a significant project that is strategically located down-dip from three existing producing platinum
mines and three development projects;
exposure to the platinum market which is poised for significant growth and investment over the next
five to ten years;
Johnson Matthey predicts that 2010 to 2015 will see major platinum supply deficits due to:
the increased auto catalyst demand from a growing Chinese economy;
a stagnation in platinum production globally due to cost pressures having eroded the profitability
of marginal, high cost operations;
new planned production having been delayed by the 2008/9 financial crisis; and
surging Exchange Traded Funds demand and limited new supply are believed to create a
positive and sustained platinum price response;
the technical and financial skills necessary to manage the Bauba Project from greenfield exploration
to a bankable feasibility study through to full development of the Bauba Project;
the potential to create a formidable and sustainable producer in the junior South African platinum
sector, and the opportunity to participate in further sector consolidation;
access to an experienced mining team with an extensive corporate finance and deal-making
background. The team also has access to a widespread network within the mining and corporate
environment; and
a value-adding relationship with the Bapedi Nation, which includes active participation and
representation in the Bauba Project.
The Companys strategic intention will be to develop a mine and thereby take advantage of an anticipated
future supply deficit in the global platinum arena arising from the stagnation in South African production
and the continual shift to extract from the deeper areas over the next 10 years.
Through this acquisition, the Company will continue to transform its primary business to that of an explorer
and developer of mineral assets, developing its considerable resources, with the intention of establishing
a mine producing an initial 350 000 ounces of PGMs per annum in the next 10 years, expanding
to 1 million ounces of PGMs per annum within 20 years.
16
To maximise shareholder value, the immediate objectives of the Company are:

to produce a SAMREC compliant resource statement, through the execution of a detailed investigative
exploration programme focused on the known mineralisation targets of the Merensky Reef and UG-2
chromatite, initiated by diamond drilling, geological and geophysical mapping and interpretation of
the areas of interest followed by:
a scoping study and bankable feasibility study.
9. NATURE OF BUSINESS
The primary business of the Company post implementation of the transactions will be:
the exploration and development of the Bauba Project with the intention of establishing a mine
producing an initial 350 000 ounces of PGMs per annum in the next 10 years, expanding production
to 1 million ounces per annum within 20 years from the overall resource base;
the pursuit of acquisitive opportunities in the PGM sector that will enhance shareholder value; and
to consider projects with joint venture partners with technical deep level mining expertise and/or
funding.
10. ISSUE OF SHARES TO QINISELE RESOURCES
Qinisele Resources has agreed to accept settlement of 70% of its transaction fee through the issue of
new shares in the Company. At an assumed issue price of R5.00 this would equate to 1 430 617 and
444 981 new shares to be issued to Qinisele Resources in respect of the Bauba acquisition and the
Houtbosch acquisition, respectively.
11. NAME CHANGE AND TRANSFER TO THE MAIN BOARD OF THE JSE
As part of a repositioning and rebranding exercise it is proposed that the Company changes its name
to Bauba Platinum Limited pursuant to the Bauba acquisition, which holds primarily platinum resource
assets. The name reservation has been approved by CIPRO and is subject to the registration of the
special resolution to be contained in the notice of General Meeting.
The Company will transfer to the Main Board of the JSE and trade under the share code BAU, subject to
the Listings Requirements.
12. REVERSE TAKEOVER
Shareholders are cautioned that the implementation of the proposed acquisition will result in the issue
of more than 100% of the current issued share capital of the Company, a change in control and the
reconstitution of the board of directors and accordingly will result in a reverse takeover of Absolute for
the purposes of the Listings Requirements, which stipulate that the Company can only retain its listing
following the reverse takeover if the JSE is satisfied that the Company continues to qualify to be listed. The
directors of Absolute are confident that the Company will meet this requirement post the implementation
of the proposed acquisition.
13. CHANGE OF CONTROL AND WAIVER OF MANDATORY OFFER
On implementation of the transactions, the vendors shareholding in Absolute will increase from 0% to
approximately 65.1% (pursuant to the share issue for cash and the Houtbosch payment shares) and more
specifically, Highlands shareholding will be approximately 44.5% post the transactions. The acquisition
is thus an affected transaction under the SRP Code, which ordinarily would require the vendors to make
a mandatory offer to acquire the Absolute shares owned by all Absolute shareholders at an offer price of
R5.00 per share.
14. DATE OF GENERAL MEETING
A general meeting will be held at Arcay House II, Number 3 Anerley Road, Parktown, Johannesburg at
10h00 on Monday, 7 June 2010 in order to approve the various transactions detailed in this circular.

CIRCULAR TO SHAREHOLDERS
1. INTRODUCTION
The board of directors released announcements on SENS and in the press dated 15 February 2010 and
17 May 2010 detailing, inter alia, the proposed acquisition of an effective 60% direct and indirect interest
in Bauba in terms of an acquisition agreement dated 12 February 2010. The purchase consideration
of R340 623 000 will be settled through the issue of 68 124 600 new ordinary shares in Absolute at an
issue price of R5.00 per share, which represented a premium of 66% to the market price at the time of
the announcement. In addition, the agreement provides for a minimum capital raising of R60 000 000
to be raised by Absolute to fund the initial work programme. In addition, Bauba has been granted
a prospecting right over Houtbosch, which grant is pending notarial execution and registration. Upon this
being achieved, in the name of Bauba, Absolute will issue an additional 21 189 600 shares in Absolute
to the vendors at an issue price of R5.00 per share and equating to a consideration of R105 948 000,
as Absolute will effectively hold a 60% interest in the Houtbosch prospecting right through its 60%
shareholding in Bauba. It is, however, intended that the Company will raise up to R150 000 000 (including
the minimum capital raising of R60 million detailed above) through a share issue for cash, which will
incorporate the minimum capital raising required in terms of the Bauba acquisition agreement.
The acquisition will result in a change in control of Absolute and, due to the issue of shares for the
transactions exceeding 100% of its current issued share capital, the acquisition will constitute a reverse
listing in accordance with the Listings Requirements. The Company will need to increase its authorised
share capital to facilitate the acquisition. Pursuant to the acquisition, it is proposed that the Company will
change its name to Bauba Platinum Limited.
In addition, the change in control of Absolute is an affected transaction as defined in the SRP Code and,
accordingly requires compliance with the SRP Code.
It is further intended that the Company issues shares to directors and Arcay Client Support in terms
of a specific issue of shares to related parties in order to settle existing obligations owed to these
related parties. This will not require shareholder approval in terms of paragraph 5.51(g) of the Listings
Requirements as the total number of shares issued will be less than 0.25% on a cumulative basis pursuant
to the transactions and will only be approved by directors pursuant to the transactions.
These transactions will require the approval of Absolute shareholders in general meeting in terms of the
Listings Requirements and the SRP Code.
18
The purpose of this circular is to:

provide Absolute shareholders with all the necessary information relating to the transactions as well as
the implications thereof, in accordance with the Listings Requirements and the SRP Code; and
give notice of its intention to convene the general meeting in order to consider, and if deemed fit, pass
with or without modification, the special and ordinary resolutions as set out in the notice of general
meeting of Absolute shareholders, attached to and forming part of this circular.
2. INCORPORATION, HISTORY AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
2.1
Incorporation, nature of business and history

For full details of incorporation, history and nature of business refer to paragraph 2 of the Revised
2.2
Growth prospects
The primary business of the Company post implementation of the transactions will be:
the exploration and development of the Bauba Project with the intention of establishing a mine
producing an initial 350 000 ounces of PGMs per annum in the next 10 years, expanding
production to 1 million ounces per annum within 20 years from the overall resource base;
the pursuit of acquisitive opportunities in the PGM sector that will enhance shareholder value;
and
funding.
2.3
Other Absolute mineral assets and liabilities

The existing mining and exploration assets of Absolute will either be exploited or disposed of in
due course and will not be material to the group post the Bauba acquisition. In terms of the Bauba
acquisition agreement, the other Absolute mineral assets will be disposed of on a best endeavours
basis. It is intended that the existing shareholder loan owing to Calulo will be reduced through
revenues and cash flows arising from these assets as well as from proceeds arising from the
disposal of these assets and as such, it is intended that these assets will be pledged as security
for the Calulo loan until such time as the loan is fully repaid. This will have the effect of ring fencing
the existing assets and major obligations and the proceeds from the share issue for cash will be
solely applied to the mining projects and working capital requirements of the group going forward.
A formal loan agreement embodying the above intention will be entered into pursuant to the approval
of the transactions.
3. THE ACQUISITION
3.1
Details and terms of the acquisition

Absolute has agreed, with effect from the closing date, to acquire from the vendors an effective
60% direct and indirect interest in the share capital of Bauba for a purchase consideration of
R340 623 000, to be settled through the issue of 68 124 600 new shares in Absolute at an issue
price of R5.00 per Absolute share in an asset for share transaction in terms of section 42 of the
Income Tax Act. In addition, the agreement provides for additional funding of R60 000 000 to be
raised by Absolute (minimum capital raising). This represents an effective 81% direct interest of the
vendors in the share capital of Absolute prior to the share issue for cash and approximately 65.1%
post the transactions. The purchase price will be applied to the mineral assets and no goodwill
will arise on the acquisition. The shares in Bauba and NMR will be transferred into the name of the
Company at the date of issue of the 68 124 600 new shares in Absolute. The Bapedi Nation and
Hlabirwa have elected to retain direct shareholdings in Bauba of 37.6% and 2.4%, respectively.
The Bauba Project consists of prospecting rights over eight farms (Refer to Location Map
in Annexure 9) which are prospective for platinum mineralisation in the Eastern Bushveld
Igneous Complex, encompassing an area of approximately 50km in length and 6km in width
(approximating 12 700 hectares) along the Leolo mountain range in the Limpopo Province.
19
The farms cover the known down-dip extent of several current development projects and operating
mines on the Eastern limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex. The geological location is expected
to reveal both Merensky Reef and UG-2 Chromitite Layer occurrences as extensive exploration
programmes have been conducted on the properties neighbouring the Bauba Project.
The prospecting rights are geographically clustered as follows:
The Southern Cluster comprising the farms Genokakop 284 KT and Grootvygenboom 285 KT;
The Central Cluster comprising the farms Magneetsvlakte 541 KS and Dingaanskop 543 KT; and
The Northern Cluster comprising the farms Fisant Laagte 506 KT, the remainder of Indi 474 KS,
Zwitzerland 473 KS and Schoonoord 462 KS.
3.1.1
Houtbosch Prospecting Right

Bauba has been granted a prospecting right over Houtbosch. This prospecting right is
pending notarial execution and registration in the Mining Titles Registration Office. Upon
this being achieved, in the name of Bauba, Absolute will issue an additional 21 189 600
new shares in Absolute to the vendors at an issue price of R5.00 per share and equating
to a consideration of R105 948 000, as Absolute will effectively hold a 60% interest in the
Houtbosch prospecting right through its 60% shareholding in Bauba. Pursuant to the issue
of shares for the Houtbosch prospecting permit, the vendors will hold approximately 65.1%
in Absolute.
The issue and allotment of the Houtbosch Payment Shares will be within 7 (seven) days
after the date of registration of the Notarial Deed of Cession of the Houtbosch prospecting
right in the name of Bauba.
3.1.2
Claw back or repurchase

There is currently a review application pending in the North Gauteng High Court of South
Africa, Pretoria brought by Rustenburg Platinum Mines Limited (RPM) and ARM Mining
Consortium Limited against a decision of the DMR and citing certain other Parties in respect
of the refusal of the DMR of an application to grant prospecting rights in respect of certain
farms, some of which are farms forming part of the Southern Cluster in respect of which
the DMR has granted prospecting rights to Bauba on 19 December 2007 (the Southern
Rights). Those prospecting rights have been notarially executed. Bauba is not a party to,
nor has it been cited in the High Court application. Accordingly, the parties have no reason
not to proceed with the transaction recorded in the acquisition agreement on the terms and
conditions stipulated.
These rights were applied for in terms of section 104 of the MPRDA, and granted in terms of
this section, which grants communities the preferential right to be awarded the prospecting
rights subject to them, inter alia, having the necessary financial and technical resources
to develop these for the benefit of the local community. The rights have been granted for
a period of five years, and the MPRDA provides for a further five-year period for renewal.
If any one of the Southern Rights or all of the Southern Rights in the Southern Cluster, are
at any time after the Signature Date revoked by any requisite authority or cancelled in
terms of a valid Court Order, and if the revocation or cancellation of any Southern Right is
not overturned and all remedies of Bauba or its successor in title have been exhausted,
including all appeals, reviews, administrative steps, new applications in respect of the
Southern Rights to the DMR and any appeals, reviews or administrative steps in respect
thereof, and all court applications concluded with no further appeals or reviews possible,
so as there is no prospect of Bauba retaining or acquiring afresh or on any basis the
Southern Rights or any of them, then such number of claw back shares will be returned to
the Purchaser by the vendors for cancellation.
20
The vendors shall for a period of two years after 12 February 2010 not alienate, transfer,
cede, assign, pledge, encumber, furnish as collateral or by way of a guarantee, or in any
other manner or form deal with the claw back shares until the period of two years has
elapsed. If a court application citing Bauba and/or the Purchaser is brought for a remedy
which will result in revocation or cancellation of any Southern Rights within the two-year
period, then the restrictions above will continue to apply until the matter has been finally
resolved and the court applications finalised also with reference to the preceding sub
paragraphs. The CSDP account or such similar account to be held by the Sellers will be
endorsed with a note reflecting the provisions of this clause.
3.1.3
Other matters
No other book debts have been guaranteed. Normal warranties have been provided in
relation to an acquisition of this nature. As the Company will be acquiring shares in Bauba
and NMR, any liabilities for accrued taxation will be settled by Bauba and NMR, respectively.
3.2
Rationale for the Bauba acquisition

The proposed acquisition will give effect to the Companys stated strategic intention of procuring
mineral assets for exploration and bringing such assets to production. The proposed acquisition
provides the Company with:
a significant project area that is strategically located down-dip from three existing producing
platinum mines and three development projects;
exposure to the platinum market which is poised for significant growth and investment over the
next five to ten years;
o Johnson Matthey predicts that 2010 to 2015 will see major platinum supply deficits due to:
the increased auto catalyst demand from a growing Chinese economy;
a stagnation in platinum production globally due to cost pressures having eroded the
profitability of marginal, high cost operations;
new planned production having been delayed by the 2008/9 financial crisis; and
surging Exchange Traded Funds demand and limited new supply will create a positive and
sustained platinum price response;
the technical and financial skills necessary to manage the Bauba Project from greenfield
exploration to a bankable feasibility study through to development of the Bauba Project;
the potential to create a formidable and sustainable producer in the junior South African platinum
sector, and the opportunity to participate in further sector consolidation;
access to an experienced mining team with an extensive corporate finance and deal-making
background. The team also has access to a widespread network within the mining and corporate
environment;
an experienced senior management team with excellent credentials, to be spearheaded by
Mr Pine Pienaar (former Mvelaphanda Resources CEO) as CEO the enlarged group; and
a value-adding relationship with the Bapedi Nation, who through the retention of their interest in
the Bauba Project will be able to contribute to the projects development and thereby increase
the involvement by Historically Disadvantaged South Africans (HDSAs) in the platinum mining
sector.
The Bauba Project consists of eight farms which are prospective for platinum mineralisation in the
Eastern Bushveld Igneous Complex, encompassing an area of approximately 50km in length and
6km in width (approximating 12 700 hectares) along the Leolo mountain range in the Limpopo
Province. The farms cover the down-dip extent of several current development projects and
operating mines on the Eastern limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex. The geological location
is believed to reveal both Merensky Reef and UG-2 Chromitite Layer occurrences as extensive
exploration programmes are being and have been conducted on the properties adjacent to the
Bauba Project.
21
A targeted resource has been estimated by geologist Mr Stephen Gain (Pr.SciNat Msc) using
average modifying factors from projects and mines on adjacent properties. An initial estimate of
the in situ resource tonnages on the farms is 700 Mt which could include in excess of 100 m oz
PGMs metal content. This in situ targeted resource estimation is considered conservative but is not
SAMREC Code compliant. This target resource has been independently verified by Venmyn and is
now estimated to be 138m oz PGMs, the details of which are included in Annexure 8 to this circular.
Bauba has designed a detailed investigative exploration programme that will be initiated by diamond
drilling, geological and geophysical mapping, and interpretation of the areas of interest. The drilling
sequence will commence on the Southern Cluster, followed by the Central and Northern Clusters
to determine the mineral resource base and the style of mineralisation. The drilling programme will
extend through to the base of the Bushveld Igneous Complex to establish the form and style of the
PGM mineralisation in the Middle and Lower groups of the Bushveld Igneous Complex, based on
public information from adjacent properties. The programme will focus on the known mineralisation
targets of the Merensky Reef and UG-2 Chromitite.
Results from the initial drilling, which commenced in April 2010, will form the basis of the balance
of the drilling programme on the Southern Cluster with the aim of establishing the extent of the
resource, which would be converted to a fully compliant reserve statement to form the basis of the
Bankable Feasibility Study.
3.3
Conditions precedent
The proposed Acquisition is still subject to the fulfilment of the following conditions precedent:
Absolute confirming in writing to the vendors and submitting written proof on or before the date
of the general meeting that it has secured irrevocable undertakings from potential investors for
the purposes of raising capital in the minimum amount of R60 000 000 (sixty million rand);
the shareholders of Absolute by 30 June 2010 pass in general meeting such resolutions as
may be necessary for the acquisition to proceed and that Absolute submits written proof to the
vendors thereof by 30 June 2010;
the board of Absolute obtaining the requisite shareholder resolution by 30 June 2010 providing
that, in the event of the claw back contemplated in terms of acquisition agreement applying,
such number of shares in Absolute, as more fully set out in paragraph 3.1 above, be returned
to Absolute and if a court does not sanction the cancellation thereof (upon an application being
made to a competent court for the cancellation of such number of the shares in the Absolute),
then in such event, Absolute buys back such number of shares in Absolute from the vendors at
a purchase price of R1.00 (one rand) (it being deemed by the Parties that such number of the
shares in the Absolute were issued and allotted for no consideration and shall be void ab initio);
Absolute obtaining its shareholders approval and waiver of the requirement for the Sellers to
make a mandatory offer to minorities in terms of the SRP Code in general meeting; and
the entering into of a formal loan agreement between Absolute and Calulo Investments.
As at the last practicable date, all the conditions precedent have been met with the exception of
the approval of the acquisition and associated transactions, namely the share issue for cash and
increase in authorised share capital, by Absolute shareholders in general meeting.
22
3.4
Reverse take-over and transfer of listing

Shareholders are cautioned that the implementation of the proposed acquisition will result in the
issue of more than 100% of the current issued share capital of the Company, a change in control
and the reconstitution of the board of directors and accordingly will result in a reverse takeover
of Absolute for the purposes of the Listings Requirements, which stipulate that the Company
can only retain its listing following the reverse take-over if the JSE is satisfied that the Company
continues to qualify to be listed. The directors of Absolute are confident that the Company will
meet this requirement post the implementation of the proposed acquisition as the company already
has approximately 1 400 shareholders and the share issue for cash will ensure that the minimum
shareholding of 20% to be held by the general public will be achieved. The listing on the Main
Board is conditional on the company maintaining the said shareholder spread requirements.
Pursuant to the approval of the transactions and the Company maintaining its spread of shareholders,
the Company will transfer its listing to the Main Board.
3.5
Change of control and waiver of mandatory offer

Approval and implementation of the proposed acquisition will result in the vendors owning more
than 35% of the issued shares in the Company. At the general meeting to approve the proposed
acquisition referred to below, Absolute shareholders shall be asked to waive the requirement for a
mandatory offer at R5.00 per share that would otherwise apply in terms of Rule 8 of the SRP Code.
An application will then be lodged with the SRP seeking dispensation in terms of Rule 8.7 of the
SRP Code, which deals with the obligation to make a mandatory offer. Further details are set out in
paragraph 4 below.
3.6
Change of name and transfer of listing

To mark the beginning of a new era for the Companys entry into the platinum sector and to reflect
the change in the nature of the Companys business to that of exploring and developing the Bauba
Project with the intent of establishing a PGM producing mine, Absolute will embark on a repositioning
and rebranding exercise which will include a change of the Companys name as detailed in
paragraph 5 below. Pursuant to the approval of the transactions and the Company maintaining its
spread of shareholders, the JSE has approved the transfer of the listing of the Company to the Main
Board, which is part of the repositioning of the Company as a junior explorer, developer and miner.
3.7
Pro forma financial effects of the transactions

The table below reflects the unaudited pro forma financial effects of the proposed transactions.
These have been prepared in terms of the Listings Requirements, are for illustrative purposes only
and due to their nature, may not truly reflect Absolutes financial position or results of operations. It
has been assumed for purposes of the pro forma financial effects that the transactions took place
with effect from 1 July 2009 for income statement purposes and 31 December 2009 for balance
sheet purposes. The directors of Absolute are responsible for the preparation of the unaudited
pro forma financial effects. The reporting accountants limited assurance report on the unaudited
pro forma financial effects is set out in Annexure 3 to this circular.

Notes:
1. The Before financial information is based on Absolutes published unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2009.
2. After the 1:100 share consolidation and odd lot offer as approved by shareholders in general meeting on 17 February 2010.
3. The After the Bauba acquisition column is based on the assumption that the issue of 68 124 600 new ordinary shares in respect of the Bauba acquisition (excluding Houtbosch) and 21 189 600
new ordinary shares in respect of the Houtbosch acquisition was effective from 1 July 2009 for basic (loss)/earnings per share and headline (loss)/earnings per share and 31 December 2009 for net
asset value and tangible net asset value purposes. The basic (loss)/earnings per share and headline (loss)/earnings per share include the results of Bauba for the year ended 28 February 2010,
extracted from the audited annual financial statements of Bauba for the year ended 28 February 2010. The results have been adjusted to reflect a six-month period only (with the exception of the
gain from sale of capital asset of R10 150 000, where the full amount is included).
The acquisition has been accounted for in terms of the revised IFRS 3: Business Combinations, as the expected effective date is after 1 July 2009, being the effective date of the revised
statement. As this is a reverse acquisition, the fair value of the consideration transferred has been determined with reference to the fair value of the consideration transferred (based on the value of
R573.23 million attributed to the Bauba Project) and in terms of IFRS 6: Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources, the cost associated with the acquisition of Absolutes mineral assets has
been capitalised to the cost of exploration and evaluation assets.
The After Bauba acquisition financial information includes transaction costs of R16.634 million and related tax effects as follows:
R10 218 690 payable to Qinisele Resources including the issue of 1 430 617 new shares to QR at an assumed price of R5.00 in respect of the Bauba acquisition (excluding Houtbosch);
R3 178 440 payable to Qinisele Resources including the issue of 444 981 new shares to QR at an assumed issue price of R5.00 in respect of the Houtbosch acquisition); and
Total other transaction costs of R3 237 000.
4. The After specific issue (minimum) financial information assumes:
Issue of 12 000 000 new ordinary shares at R5.00;
Capital raising fees of R3 million payable to Qinisele Resources that have been set-off against share premium;
The proceeds of R60 million from the specific issue;
Finance income at 6.7% earned on the proceeds of the specific issue (less transaction costs), being the prevailing money market rates on deposits of greater than R10 million for basic
loss/earnings per share and headline loss/earnings per share purposes only; and
The tax effects of the above.
5. The After specific issue (maximum) financial information assumes:
Issue of 30 000 000 new ordinary shares at R5.00;
Capital raising fees of R7.5 million payable to Qinisele Resources that have been set-off against share premium;
The proceeds of up to R150 million from the specific issue;
Finance income at 6.7% earned on the proceeds of the specific issue (less transaction costs), being the prevailing money market rates on deposits of greater than R10 million for basic
loss/earnings per share and headline loss/earnings per share purposes only; and
6. The After claw back and assuming minimum specific issue assumes the implementation of the Bauba acquisition (including Houtbosch) and minimum specific issue and subsequent reduction of
the purchase consideration via the repurchase of 37 033 200 Absolute shares.
7. The After claw back and assuming maximum specific issue assumes the implementation of the Bauba acquisition (including Houtbosch) and maximum specific issue and subsequent reduction
of the purchase consideration via the repurchase of 37 033 200 Absolute shares.

4. THE WAIVER OF THE MANDATORY OFFER AND CONFIRMATION OF NO SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS

On implementation of the transactions, the vendors shareholding in Absolute will increase from 0% to
approximately 65.1% (pursuant to the share issue for cash and the Houtbosch payment shares) and more
specifically, Highlands shareholding will be approximately 44.5% post the transactions. The acquisition
is thus an affected transaction under the SRP Code, which ordinarily would require the vendors to make
a mandatory offer to acquire the Absolute shares owned by all Absolute shareholders at an offer price of
R5.00 per share.
The SRP has advised that it is willing to consider an application to grant a dispensation to the vendors,
in terms of the SRP Code, from the obligation to make a mandatory offer at R5.00 per share to acquire
the ordinary shares of Absolute shareholders if Absolute shareholders in general meeting other than
the Bauba Sellers, NMR Sellers and any person acting in concert (as defined in the SRP Code) with
the vendors waive their right to require the vendors to make a Mandatory Offer and subject to the SRP
considering any representations (if any) made by Absolute shareholders, as contemplated below.
Any Absolute shareholder who wishes to object to the dispensation shall have 10 days from the date
of posting of this circular to raise such an objection with the SRP. Objections should be made in writing
and addressed to The Executive Director, Securities Regulation Panel at the following address:
Physical:
Ground Floor
2 Sherborne Road (off Jan Smuts Avenue)
Parktown
2193
Postal:
PO Box 91833
Auckland Park
2006
Fax: +27 11 482 5635
and should reach the SRP by not later than the close of business on 27 May 2010 in order to be considered.
If any submissions are made to the SRP within the permitted timeframe, the SRP will consider the merits
thereof and, if necessary, provide the Sellers with an opportunity to make representations to the SRP.
Thereafter, subject to the waiver in general meeting being granted by the Absolute shareholders, the SRP
will rule on the requirement for a mandatory offer.
The granting of the aforesaid waiver and of the dispensation is a condition precedent to the acquisition.
5. CHANGE IN NAME OF COMPANY
It is proposed that the Company will change its name to Bauba Platinum Limited pursuant to the acquisition
in order to align its name with the new focus on PGMs. A special resolution will be proposed to change
the name from Absolute Holdings Limited to Bauba Platinum Limited. The name reservation has been
approved by CIPRO and is subject to the registration of the special resolution contained in the notice of
General Meeting attached to this circular.
For a period of not less than one year, the Company will reflect the former name Absolute Holdings
Limited on all documents of title in brackets beneath the new name of Bauba Platinum Limited.
In addition, for a period of not less than three years, the Company will reflect the former name Absolute
Holdings Limited on all circulars beneath the new name of Bauba Platinum Limited, in accordance
with the Listings Requirements.
In terms of the Listings Requirements, approval was granted by the JSE for the change of name and
for the abbreviated name Bauba to be used with the share code BAU and the ISIN will be changed
to ZAE000145686.
5.1
Salient dates and procedures to be followed by shareholders

5.1.1
Subject to the approval and implementation of the change of name, the attention
of shareholders is drawn to the following dates:
25
5.1.1.1 the results of the general meeting will be released on SENS Monday, 7 June 2010;
5.1.1.2 last date to trade in Absolute Holdings Limited shares in the JSE in order to be
recorded as a shareholder by the record date of the name change is Friday,
9 July 2010;
5.1.1.3 shares will commence trading under the new name on Monday, 12 July 2010; and
5.1.1.4 the record date for purposes of determining those shareholders whose shares will
be subject to the change of name is Friday, 16 July 2010.
5.2
Surrender of share certificates by certificated shareholders

Subject to the passing and registration of the special resolution necessary for the change of name,
it is necessary for certificated shareholders to surrender their share certificates in order to replace
them with certificates reflecting the change of name.
Certificated shareholders are requested to complete the attached form of surrender (yellow) in
accordance with the instructions it contains and return it to the transfer secretaries.
5.2.1
To facilitate the timeous receipt by certificated shareholders of replacement share

certificates, certificated shareholders who wish to anticipate the implementation of the
change of name and who do not wish to deal in their existing shares prior to the change
of name, are requested to surrender their share certificates to the transfer secretaries by
completing the attached form of surrender (yellow) in accordance with the instructions it
contains and return it to the transfer secretaries.
5.2.2
Share certificates so received will be held by the transfer secretaries pending the change
of name being approved by shareholders at the general meeting. In the event that the
change of name is not approved, the transfer secretaries will, within five business days
thereafter, return the certificates to the certificated shareholders concerned, by registered
post, at the risk of such shareholders.
5.2.3
In the event that the change of name is approved, the transfer secretaries will, within five
business days thereafter, post the new share certificates to the certificated shareholders
concerned, by registered post, at the risk of such shareholders.
5.2.4
Dematerialised shareholders must not do anything as their accounts at their CSDP or broker
will be automatically updated.
In the event that certificated shareholders do not complete the attached form of surrender and who
later wish to obtain a share certificate in the new name of the Company, such shareholders will be
required to return their share certificates to the transfer secretaries together with certified copies of
identity documents, if in own name, or if otherwise, certified copies of company/trust documents.
6. SHARE ISSUE FOR CASH
6.1
As part of the conditions precedent in terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company is required
to raise a minimum amount of R60 million for additional capital to be applied towards a working
programme in respect of the Bauba Projects and for working capital. This amount may be changed,
if amended in writing between the parties. Absolute is seeking shareholder approval to raise up
to R150 million through the issue of up to 30 000 000 additional new Absolute shares, in one or
more tranches, at a price to be determined through a road show, to interested off-shore and local
investors, institutions, certain existing shareholders and the local market, all of whom are to be
identified during the road show prior to the general meeting on 7 June 2010. The discount at which
the share issue for cash will take place is not known at the last practicable date and will be based
on market conditions prevailing at the time of the capital raising.
These shares will not be issued to related parties as defined in the Listings Requirements and will
result in a maximum dilution of 15.8% assuming the issue of the Houtbosch payment shares. The
shares will be of a class already in issue and will rank pari passu with the existing shares in issue.
Qinisele Resources will seek indications of interest from private and institutional investors to acquire
shares in Absolute. The results of the share placement will be announced on SENS and in the press.
In the event of an over subscription for the share issue for cash, the directors will allocate the shares
on an equitable basis in accordance with the Listings Requirements. There is no intention to extend
a preference to any particular individual, company or group.
26
6.2
The resolution authorising the share issue requires a 75% majority of the votes cast in favour of the
resolution, excluding any parties and their associates, participating in the specific issue of shares
for cash.
7. ISSUE OF SHARES TO QINISELE RESOURCES AND PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO SHARE

INCENTIVE SCHEME
7.1
Issue of shares to Qinisele Resources

Qinisele Resources has agreed to accept settlement of 70% of its transaction fee through the issue
of new shares in the Company. At an assumed issue price of R5.00 this would equate to 1 430 617
and 444 981 new shares to be issued to Qinisele Resources in respect of the Bauba acquisition and
the Houtbosch acquisition, respectively. The pro forma financial effects of this share issue are set out
in paragraph 3.7 and Annexure 4 to this circular. The actual issue price will be at a 10% discount of
the 30-day Volume Weighted Average Price determined at the date that the issue is agreed in writing
between the Company and Qinisele Resources . The Company holds 25.1% in Qinisele Resources.
Qinisele Resources is not a related party as defined in the Listings Requirements as it does not hold
an interest in the Company, it does not have board representation in the Company and does not hold
infuence over the Company. The shares to be issued will be of a class already in issue, will be issued
under the Companys general authority and rank pari passu with the existing shares in issue. These
shares will be held in trust for a period of two years in accordance with paragraph 5.127 of the Listings
Requirements.
7.2
Proposed amendment to share incentive scheme

The Company intends making a minor amendment to the Companys share incentive scheme
in order to allow for consultants, part-time employees, contractors and advisors to participate
in the Absolute Share Incentive Scheme (scheme) due to the nature of the business not
necessarily warranting full-time employment at present. A resolution authorising this amendment
has been included in the notice of general meeting. Pursuant to the shareholder approval, the
amended share incentive scheme will be lodged for registration with the Master of the High Court.
The scheme will be applied on the same basis as for employees for such consultants, part-time
employees and advisors. The scheme does not provide for the automatic lapsing once an employee
is no longer employed. Clause 17.2.2.2 of the scheme states that any time before an option
is exercised the option may be cancelled in the event of voluntary termination of the employment
of the holder. Part-time employees, contractors and advisors will be treated on the same basis
as it does not make commercial sense, given the size of the Company, that the Company employs
full-time people at present.
8. INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL

In order to facilitate the acquisition, the share issue and the Houtbosch payment shares, shareholders
are required to approve an increase in the authorised share capital of the Company from 25 000 000
ordinary shares of R1.00 each to 200 000 000 shares of R1.00. The notice of general meeting contains a
special resolution for the proposed increase in ordinary share capital.
9. RECONSTITUTION OF THE BOARD
The Company is proposing to reconstitute the board to reflect the new controlling shareholder of the
Company after the acquisition. Gabby Sequeira and Mpho Diale, representatives of Calulo Resources, as
well as Abe Sher and Jan Serfontein will therefore be resigning pursuant to the approval of the transactions
in general meeting. No payment will be made to these directors in relation to the resignations.
Mr Pine Pienaar is to be appointed as CEO to complement the management team of Mr Mark Rosslee,
whose appointment will change to Financial Director.
To give full effect to the change in shareholding and the development of the new business imperative
offered by the Bauba Project, a change in the composition of the board is proposed, which will include
the proposed appointment of Mr Jonathan Best (as Chairman) and Messrs Kenneth Dicks and Sholto
Dolamo as independent non-executive directors, all of whom have extensive experience in the mining
industry. Dr Mathews Phosa will be appointed as a non-executive director.
The Company will also have access to the consultative expertise of Mr Dennis Tucker and geologist
Mr Stephen Gain. The combined team has extensive PGM industry knowledge, corporate finance and
deal-making experience with access to a widespread network within the South African mining and
corporate environment.
27
Subject to the approval of shareholders at the general meeting on Monday, 31 May 2010, the board will
be reconstituted as follows:
CEO: Mr Pine Pienaar;
Financial Director: Mr Mark Rosslee;
Chairman: Mr Jonathan Gourlay Best;
Independent Non-executive directors: Messrs Kenneth Dicks and Sholto Dolamo; and
Non-executive director: Dr Mathews Phosa.
The names, ages, qualifications, nationality, business address and function as well as a brief curriculum
vitae of each of the above directors of the Company are set out in paragraph 3.1 and Appendix 6 to the
Revised Listing Particulars.

with a par value of R1.00 per share.

No shares are held directly or indirectly by associates.

None of the directors have traded in the shares of Absolute from 30 June 2009 to the last
practicable date. In terms of an agreement signed on 30 June 2008, JJ Serfontein sold
62 500 000 shares to Calulo at 3 cents per share. Of these, the remaining 42 500 000 shares
will be transferred to Calulo during April 2010. The above table represents the directors
effective shareholding as though this transfer had been effected as at the last practicable
date.
13.2.2 The remuneration package of MW Rosslee provides for the allocation of 300 000 shares
(30 000 000 shares before the share consolidation) under the Companys share incentive
scheme, which scheme was approved by shareholders in a general meeting on 31 March
2009. The shares remain unissued at the date of this circular as the scheme still has to be
registered with the Master of the High Court.
The directors interests in the ordinary share capital of the Company following the
implementation of the transactions are detailed in paragraph 3.3 of the Revised Listing
Particulars.

13.3 Directors interests in transactions

In terms of a circular to shareholders dated 22 September 2008, the Company made an unconditional,
fully underwritten, renounceable rights offer, as supported by an irrevocable undertaking,
of 214 008 081 new ordinary shares of R0.01 each to Absolute shareholders recorded in the register
at the close of business on Friday, 10 October 2008 at a subscription price of 6 cents per rights offer
share, in the ratio of one rights offer share for every 4.00160 Absolute shares held.
The purpose of this rights offer was to enlarge the Companys capital base in order to provide the
equity to fund the mining projects at the Diamond Quartzite and Picturestone quarries as well as to
provide working capital in order to expand the business operations of the Absolute group.
This rights offer was fully underwritten by Calulo Resources. MK Diale and GP Sequeira hold an
indirect interest in Calulo Resources through Calulo Investments, in which they hold a 20% and 5%
interest, respectively. JJ Serfontein holds a 5% interest in Calulo Resources directly.
Other than as disclosed in this paragraph 13.3, which details the underwriting of the rights offer,
no director is or has been, interested in any transaction which is, or was, unusual in its nature or
conditions, or significant to the business of Absolute and which was effected by Absolute during the
current or immediately preceding year or which remains in any respect outstanding or unperformed
during an earlier financial period.
13.4 Directors remuneration and terms of appointment
The remuneration of the existing directors of Absolute will not be varied as a result of the transactions
as contained in this circular.
Other than MW Rosslee, there exist no service agreements for the directors of Absolute. The fees
payable to the non-executive directors are however agreed and authorised at a meeting of the
board of directors and then paid subsequent thereto.
13.4.1 MW Rosslee was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of Absolute on 1 September 2008
at a remuneration package of R2 400 000 cost to Company per annum. Thus for the year
ended 30 June 2009 he received gross remuneration for a period of 10 months amounting
to R2 000 000. In addition, the remuneration included an allocation of 300 000 shares
from the Companys share incentive scheme, which shares have not yet been issued. The
shares were to vest over a two-year period. The service agreement provides for a onemonth termination period and contains a restraint of trade for one year after termination.
13.4.2 GP Sequeira is remunerated by Calulo Investments. GP Sequeira does not receive this
fee. He is employed by Calulo Investments on terms which are usual for such a position
and specifically his employment is subject to a one-month termination period. In prior
years Calulo Investments charged a management fee of R15 000 per month to Lenopodi,
inter alia, for the service of GP Sequeira. This arrangement was terminated with effect
from 1 July 2009.
13.4.3 All directors receive fees for attendance at board meetings. The remuneration paid to
directors for the year ended 30 June 2009 is summarised below:

received by the directors.
13.4.6
Other than MW Rosslee, directors do not hold any share options.
13.4.7
The group does not have a pension or provident plan. The shareholders have approved
a share incentive scheme at a general meeting held on 31 March 2009. The scheme is
pending registration with the Master of the High Court as the prior attorney firm did not
lodge the share incentive scheme. The Companys new attorneys, Eversheds, have since
lodged the share incentive scheme for registration. Salient features of the share incentive
scheme are set out in Appendix 9 to the Revised Listing Particulars.

There have been no commission, gain or profit sharing arrangements entered into
with the directors other than the interest in the underwriting agreement as detailed in
paragraph 13.3 above.

Arcay Client Support acts as company secretary to Absolute at a fee of R8 000 per month.

which is then paid to a director of the Company.
13.4.12 No amounts are payable to the directors of Absolute in respect of emoluments, fees, share
options, technical, consulting or other fees.
13.4.13 Qinisele Resources is paid a monthly retainer of R75 000 and, in terms of its mandate,
can earn a success fee of 5% on introduction of a transaction with a deal value of up to
R100 million and 3% on transactions above R100 million. In addition, a capital raising fee
of 5% will be payable in the event that Qinisele Resources is mandated to raise capital for
any transaction. Absolute holds 25.1% in Qinisele Resources, and thus the Company and
its directors have an indirect benefit from Qinisele Resources. However, the directors of
Absolute do not have any direct interest in this fee as at the last practicable date.
Details of directors remuneration pursuant to the acquisition are detailed in paragraph 3.4 in the
Revised Listing Particulars, which is attached to this circular.
13.5 Appointment, retirement, qualification, remuneration and voting powers

powers may be varied. No instances have occurred during the past three years where the borrowing
powers of the Company have been exceeded.

prospecting rights in respect of certain farms, some of which are farms forming part of the Southern
Cluster in respect of which the DMR has granted prospecting rights to Bauba on 19 December 2007..
Those prospecting rights have been notarially executed. Bauba is not a party to, nor has it been cited
in the above High Court application. Accordingly, the parties have no reason not to proceed with the
transaction recorded in the acquisition agreement on the terms and conditions stipulated.

Dear Sirs
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS ON THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL
INFORMATION IN RESPECT OF BAUBA A HLABIRWA MINING INVESTMENTS (PROPRIETARY)
LIMITED (BAUBA)
1. INTRODUCTION
At your request and for the purposes of the circular to Absolute Holdings Limited (Absolute) shareholders,
to be dated on or about 17 May 2010, we present our report on the historical financial information of
Bauba, as set out in Annexure 2 of the circular, in compliance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE
Limited (JSE Listings Requirements).
2. RESPONSIBILITY AND PURPOSE OF REPORT
The directors of Absolute are responsible for the compilation, contents and preparation of the circular
and for the accuracy of the information contained therein. The directors of Absolute are responsible for
the financial information to which this report on the historical financial information of the Company relates,
and from which the report has been prepared. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the historical
financial information included as Annexure 2 to the circular.
3. HISTORY AND OWNERSHIP
Bauba was incorporated in the Republic of South Africa on 18 December 1997. The financial year-end
is end of February each year.
4. SCOPE
The auditors of Bauba are Bruk Munkes & Co. We have audited the financial information of Bauba for the
year ended 28 February 2010, and reviewed the financial information for the year ended 28 February 2009.
5. SCOPE OF AUDIT
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards
require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance whether the annual financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2010 are free from
material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the annual financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgement, including
the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the annual financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to
the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the annual financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the annual financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.
39
6. SCOPE OF REVIEW
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2400.
This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether
the financial information for the year ended 28 February 2009 is free of material misstatement. A review is
limited primarily to enquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data
and thus provide less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit of the abovementioned
financial information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion thereon.
7. OPINIONS
In our opinion, the historical financial information of Bauba for the year ended 28 February 2010 as
reported in Annexure 2 fairly presents, in all material respects, the financial position as of that date, in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, the Companies Act in South Africa and the
JSE Listings Requirements.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the historical
financial information of Bauba for the year ended 28 February 2009 as reported in Annexure 2 is not fairly
presented, in all material respects, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, the
Companies Act in South Africa and the JSE Listings Requirements.
8. CONSENT
We consent to the inclusion of this report, which will form part of the circular to the shareholders
of Absolute.

6. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
6.1
Nature of operations
Bauba carries on the business of exploration and mining of mineral resources. The company was
registered in 2006 but only commenced operation in the 2009 financial year.
6.2
Presentation of annual financial statements

The financial information for the year ended 28 February 2010 has been prepared on the historical
cost basis and is in accordance with IFRS. The accounting policies are consistent with the prior
year.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment
in value.
The initial cost comprise of its purchase price and any directly attributable costs in bringing the
asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditure incurred after the
asset has been put into operation, such as repairs, maintenance and over haul costs, are normally
recognised as expense in the period the costs are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly
demonstrated that the expenditure has improved the condition of the asset beyond the originally
assessed standard of performance, the expenditure is capitalised as an additional cost of property,
plant and equipment.
Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost less estimated residual value of all property, plant
and equipment by equal annual installments over their expected useful economic lives. The lives
generally applicable are:
Furniture and fixtures
Motor vehicles
44
6 years
5 years
The remaining useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed and adjusted,
if appropriate, at financial year-end to ensure that such periods and method of depreciation are
consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from the items of property, plant and
equipment.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised when either it has been disposed or
when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its
use or disposal. Any gains or losses arising on the retirement and disposal of an item of property,
plant and equipment are included in the consolidated income statement in the period of retirement
or disposal.
Intangible assets exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation costs, including the costs of acquiring licences, are capitalised as
exploration and evaluation assets on an area of interest basis. Costs incurred before the Company
has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are recognised in the income statement.
Exploration and evaluation assets are only recognised if the rights of the area of interest are current
and either:
the expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation
of the area of interest; or
activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date, reached a stage which permits a
reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and
active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment if: (i) sufficient data exists to
determine technical feasibility and commercial viability and (ii) facts and circumstances suggest
that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. For the purposes of impairment testing,
exploration and evaluation assets are allocated to cash-generating units to which the exploration
activity related. The cash generating unit shall not be larger than the area of interest.
Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the extraction of mineral resources in
an area of interest are demonstrable, exploration and evaluation assets attributable to that area
of interest are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from intangible assets to mining
property and development assets within property, plant and development.
Intangible assets development costs
Development costs relating to major development programmes are capitalised. Development
costs consist primarily of expenditure to develop the technology to commercialisation. Day-today development costs to maintain production are expensed as incurred. Initial development
and preproduction costs relating to a new technology, including amortisation and depreciation to
develop the technology, are capitalised until commissioning of production facilities.
The Company reviews the carrying amount of development assets and development costs when
circumstances suggest the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability is assessed
using estimates of future cash flows on a discounted basis, including revenues, operating costs
and future capital expenditures. Where necessary a reduction in carrying amount is recorded.
Financial assets
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or
loss, loans and receivables, and available for sale. The classification depends on the purpose for
which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial
assets at initial recognition.
(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading.
A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in
the short-term. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated
as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets.
45
(b) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments
that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities
greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets.
(c) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category
or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless
management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxation
Deferred tax is recognised on all differences where the transactions or events that give the Group
an obligation to pay more tax in the future, or a right to pay less tax in the future, have occurred
by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised when it is more likely than not that
they will be recovered. Deferred tax is measured using rates of tax that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Financial instruments
Interest receivable and payable is accrued and credited/charged to the income statement in the
period to which it relates.
Liquid resources
Liquid resources comprise funds on deposit at not less than 24 hours notice.
Operating leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the
lease.
Critical estimates and judgements
In the application of the Companys accounting policies management is required to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that
are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based
on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may
differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing
basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate
is revised if the revision affects only that period; or in the period of the revision and future periods
if the revision affects both current and future periods.
(a) Impairment of goodwill
The Company tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with
the accounting policy. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined
based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates. As at the
year end, it was deemed that goodwill is not impaired.
(b) Impairment of exploration assets
The Company tests exploration assets for impairment when indicators of impairment arise,
in accordance with the accounting policy. Impairment reviews are carried out on a project
by project basis, with each project representing a potential single cash-generating unit.
The impairment reviews require the use of judgement.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
BALANCE SHEET, INCOME STATEMENT AND FINANCIAL EFFECTS ON ABSOLUTE HOLDINGS
LIMITED (ABSOLUTE) OF THE ACQUISITION OF A 60% INTEREST IN BAUBA A HLABIRWA MINING
INVESTMENTS (PROPRIETARY) LIMITED AND RELATED MINIMUM CAPITAL RAISING REQUIREMENT
OF R60 MILLION THROUGH AN ISSUE OF SHARES
Introduction
The definitions and interpretations contained in the circular of which this report forms part have been used
throughout this report.
We have performed our limited assurance engagement in respect of the unaudited pro forma financial
effects and financial effects on the income statement and balance sheet (collectively the pro forma financial
information) of Absolute set out in paragraph 3.7 and Annexure 3 to this circular, to be dated on or about
17 May 2010, issued in connection with the acquisition of a 60% interest in Bauba (the acquisition) and
the related capital raising of R60 million, which for the purpose of the pro forma financial effects has been
assumed as being raised through the issue of up to 12 000 000 new shares in Absolute at an issue price of
R5.00 per share for the purpose of the pro forma financial effects (the minimum capital raising). In addition,
the pro forma financial effects of the capital raising through the issue of 30 000 000 new shares in Absolute
at an issue price of R5.00 per share has also been assumed (the share issue for cash). The potential
repurchase of shares was also considered.
The pro forma financial information has been prepared in accordance with the Listings Requirements, for
illustrative purposes only, to provide information about how the acquisition and share issues might have
affected the reported historical financial information, had the acquisition, minimum capital raising and/or
share issue for cash and the share issue to Qinisele Resources as well as the potential share repurchase
been undertaken on 1 July 2009 for income statement purposes and on 31 December 2009 for balance sheet
purposes.
Directors responsibility
The directors are responsible for the compilation, contents and presentation of the pro forma financial
information contained in this circular and for the financial information from which it has been prepared. Their
responsibility includes determining that: the pro forma information financial information has been properly
compiled on the basis stated; the basis is consistent with the accounting policies of Absolute; and the
pro forma adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the pro forma financial information disclosed in
terms of the Listings Requirements.
Reporting accountants responsibility
Our responsibility is to express our limited assurance conclusion on the pro forma financial information
included in this circular to Absolute shareholders. We conducted our assurance engagement in accordance
with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements applicable to Assurance Engagements Other
Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information and the Guide on Pro Forma Financial Information
issued by The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants.
50
This standard requires us to comply with ethical requirements and to plan and perform the assurance
engagement to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence on which to base our conclusion.
We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used
in the compilation of the pro forma financial information, beyond that owed to those to whom those reports
were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.
Sources of information and work performed
Our procedures consisted primarily of comparing the unadjusted financial information with the source
documents, considering the pro forma adjustments in light of the accounting policies of Absolute, considering
the evidence supporting the pro forma adjustments and discussing the adjusted pro forma financial
information with the directors of Absolute in respect of the transactions.
In arriving at our conclusion, we have relied upon financial information prepared by the directors of Absolute
and other information from various public, financial and industry sources.
While our work performed has involved an analysis of the historical published audited financial information
and other information provided to us, our assurance engagement does not constitute an audit or review of
any of the underlying financial information conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing
or International Standards on Review Engagements and, accordingly, we do not express an audit or review
opinion.
In a limited assurance engagement, the evidence-gathering procedures are more limited than for a
reasonable assurance engagement and therefore less assurance is obtained than in a reasonable assurance
engagement. We believe our evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
conclusion.
Conclusion
Based on our examination of the evidence obtained, nothing has come to our attention, which causes us to
believe that:
the pro forma financial information has not been properly compiled on the basis stated;
such basis is inconsistent with the accounting policies Absolute; and
the adjustments are not appropriate for the purposes of the pro forma financial information as disclosed in
terms of paragraphs 8.17 and 8.30 of the Listings Requirements.
We consent to the inclusion of this letter and the reference to our opinion in this circular in the form and
context in which it appears.

acquisition, related minimum capital raising of R60 million and related transactions, which has been assumed
at 12 000 000 shares at R5.00. In addition, the pro forma financial information is reflected as though the full
R150 000 000 is raised through the placement of a maximum of 30 000 000 new shares at R5.00 per share,
although the final placement pricing is still to be determined through a road show to investors. The recent
repurchase of shares in terms of the odd lot offer has not been taken into account in the pro forma effects as
the shares were immediately placed under the Companys general authority to issue shares for cash.
It has been assumed that the transactions were effective at 1 July 2009, being the beginning of Absolutes
financial period for the purposes of the pro forma income statement and on 31 December 2009 for the
purposes of the pro forma balance sheet. The unaudited pro forma income statement and balance sheet
have been prepared using accounting policies that comply with International Financial Reporting Standards
and that are consistent with those applied in the published unaudited interim results of Absolute for the six
months ended 31 December 2009.
The directors of Absolute are responsible for the compilation, contents and preparation of the unaudited
pro forma financial information contained in this document and for the financial information from which it has
been prepared. Their responsibility includes determining that: the unaudited pro forma financial information
has been properly compiled on the basis stated; the basis is consistent with the accounting policies of
Absolute; and the pro forma adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma financial
information disclosed in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements.
The independent reporting accountants report on the pro forma financial information is set out in Annexure 3.

The acquisition has been accounted for in terms of the revised IFRS 3: Business Combinations, as the expected effective date is after 1 July 2009, being the
effective date of the revised statement. Due to the exploration nature of Absolute and the once-off costs associated with a transaction of this nature, these

Following the acquisition, the former Bauba shareholders will hold more than 80% of the combined entity. The guidance to IFRS 3 regarding fair value of the consideration transferred in respect
of a reverse acquisition scenario specifies that this value should relate to the fair value of the accounting acquirer rather than the accounting acquiree. IFRS 3 requires that the most reliable
basis of measuring the fair value of the accounting acquirer be used. Bauba is an unlisted entity. The fair value for 100% of Bauba equates to R573.23 million. For IFRS purposes, Absolute
shareholders acquired an effective interest of 10.1% of Bauba (16.8% of 60% of Bauba) for an effective purchase consideration of R57.9 million.
The After Bauba acquisition includes transaction costs of R16.634 million and related tax effects as follows:
The fair value of the number of equity interests calculated in that way can be used as the fair value of consideration transferred in exchange for the acquire. In other words, the purchase
consideration in a reverse acquisition is the consideration effectively transferred by the accounting acquirer to the shareholders of the accounting acquiree.
The acquisition has been accounted for in terms of the revised IFRS 3: Business Combinations, as the expected effective date is after 1 July 2009, being the effective date of the revised statement.
Adjustments relate to the issue of 68 124 600 new ordinary shares in respect of the Bauba acquisition and 21 189 600 new ordinary shares in respect of the Houtbosch acquisition. The acquisition
has been performed based on the guidance per IFRS 3:

In a reverse acquisition, the accounting acquirer usually issues no consideration for the acquiree. Instead, the accounting acquiree usually issues its equity shares to the owners of the
accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred by the accounting acquirer for its interest in the accounting acquiree is based on the number
of equity interests the legal subsidiary would have had to issue to give the owners of the legal parent the same percentage equity interest in the combined entity that results from the reverse
acquisition.

3. HISTORY AND OWNERSHIP
NMR was incorporated in the Republic of South Africa on 9 November 2006. The financial year end is

4. SCOPE
The auditors of NMR are Bruk Munkes & Co. We have audited the financial information of NMR for the

5. SCOPE OF AUDIT
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require
that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
whether the annual financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the annual financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgement, including
the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the annual financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to
the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the annual financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the annual financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of operations
NMR carries on the business of exploration and mining of mineral resources. The Company was registered
in 2006 but only commenced operation in the 2010 financial year.
1. PRESENTATION OF ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with South African Statements of
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and the Companies Act of South Africa, 1973. The annual
financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, and incorporate the principal
accounting policies set out below.
These accounting policies are consistent with the previous year.

1.2
Financial Instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial instruments are recognised initially when the company becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instruments.
The company classifies financial instruments, or their component parts, on initial recognition as a
financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the
contractual arrangement.
Financial instruments are measured initially at fair value, except for equity investments for which a
fair value is not determinable, which are measured at cost and are classified as available for sale
financial assets.
For financial instruments which are not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs are
included in the initial measurement of the instrument.
1.3
Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities
Current tax for current and prior periods is, to the extent unpaid, recognised as a liability. If the
amount already paid in respect of current and prior periods exceeds the amount due for those
periods, the excess is recognised as an asset.
Current tax liabilities/(assets) for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected
to be paid to/(recovered from) the tax authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been
enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.
Tax expenses
Current and deferred taxes are recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss
for the period, except to the extent that the tax arises from:
a transaction or event which is recognised, in the same or a different period, directly in equity; or
a business combination.
Current tax and deferred taxes are charges or credited directly to equity if the tax relates to items
that are credited or charges, in the same or a different period, directly equity.
1.4
Revenue
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents
the amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of
trade discounts and volume rebates, and value-added tax.

1. LOCALITY, PROPERTY DESCRIPTION AND NEIGHBOURING

PROPERTIES
The Bauba farms lie along the Leolo mountain range in the Limpopo
Province. approximately 40km north-northwest of the Limpopo
Province town of Steelpoort and 245km northeast of Johannesburg.
The farms are surrounded, on the eastern side by operating PGE mines
and development projects on the North Eastern limb of the BIC. The
Northern Cluster, in particular, lies due west and down dip of Bokoni
Platinum mine and the Ga-Pasha PGE Project, both jointly-owned by
Anglo Platinum and Anooraq. The location of these properties is shown
in Figure 1 .
The mostly moderate climate means that exploration and mining

operations can be undertaken throughout the year, with no
extraordinary measures required.
Field camps will be constructed for the drilling. Where necessary,
access roads into the properties will be cut with the aid of bulldozers.
Water for drilling will be transported to site.

PHYSIOGRAPHY, ACCESS AND CLIMATE

The Northern Cluster lies along the Leolo mountain range in the
Limpopo Province. The peaks are interspaced with flat valleys with
elevations lying between 800m and 1,270m. The elevation difference
between farms is about 470m. The climate of the area is typical of subtropical Highveld with warm moist summers and cool dry winters. The
rainfall on escarpments is higher at annual averages of 700mm
compared to about 500mm in the valleys. Precipitation is usually in the
form of thunderstorms during summer.

LEGAL TENURE AND AGREEMENTS

The Prospecting Right 256/2006PR was issued in June 2006 to King
Moruthane Ben Sekhukhune and Motubatse Ben Bokgobela, as
representatives of Sekhukhune Rhyne Thulare for and on behalf of the
Bapedi Nation. The Prospecting Right was ceded to Bauba on the 9th of
April 2007. This is due to expire on the 6th July 2011. Absolute has now
entered into a binding agreement with Bauba where Absolute will hold a
60% direct and indirect share in Bauba. (Table 1).

4. REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The Bauba prospects are located on the eastern limb of the BIC as
shown in Figure 2 .The limb forms part of three layered mafic-ultramafic
bodies, defined as the northern, western and eastern limbs. These form
an ellipse in plan, some 200km by 370km in extent with granites and
felsic volcanic in the central and southern regions. The Bushveld
Complex exhibits remarkably consistent layering that can be correlated
extensively throughout the geologic expression of the whole complex.
The Merensky Cyclic Unit and Merensky Reef

The Merensky Cyclic Unit occurs close to the top of the Critical Zone. At
Winnaarshoek this unit consists of a 2-5 meter thick feldspathic
orthopyroxenite that is overlain by norite-leuconorite, spotted
anorthosite and then mottled anorthosite. A similar stratigraphic
sequence is described on Nkwe's Garatau and Maandagshoek. The
Merensky pyroxenite is typically medium-grained, brownish-gray, and
can be described as feldspathic orthopyroxenite. Detailed microscopic
studies have shown the feldspathic pyroxenite to consist of mediumgrained (1-30mm) orthopyroxene with intercumulus plagioclase. This
rock can exhibit both poikilitic and porphyritic textures due the presence
of variably distributed, oikocrysts (10-20mm) of clinopyroxene.
Figure 2 portrays the plan view as well as the vertical representation of

the stratigraphy of the Bauba Project area in relation to the geology of
the Eastern BIC. The units in Table 2 are the units as they have been
described by S. Gain.

The Critical Zone

The Critical Zone, which lies below, contains well defined, and easy to
correlate, layers which can be broadly sub-divided into the rock types
dunite, harzburgite, pyroxenite, norite, anorthosite and chromitite.
These layers have both sharp and gradational contacts and progress
through subtle variations to produce leucocratic and melanocratic
variations of medium grained rocks. In places the rocks are pegmatoidal
and can form pipes and segregations. Later dolerite dykes intruded into
faults. The Critical Zone contains the main economic targets namely the
Merensky Reef and the UG2 chromitite layer.

The Main Zone

The Main Zone is generally poorly layered and contains a monotonous
sequence of norite and gabbro-norite, with only minor anorthosite
layers which allow for stratigraphic correlation.

Two thin chromitite layers occur to the top of the orthopyroxenite. At

Garatau the lower stringer is defined as the bottom reef contact or
(BRC) and the top reef contact (TRC). The TRC occurs some 1,8m
above the BRC (Winnaarshoek). The BRC is 1-25mm thick and is
generally less persistent than the 1-25mm thick TRC which is
commonly present and laterally persistent. Sulphide mineralization is
associated with both chromitite layers and can comprise up to 2% of the
mode.
The best combination of sulphide and associated PGE mineralization
occurs for about a metre below the TRC. Diffuse segregations and
selvages of pegmatoidal pyroxenite occur above the TRC and
sometimes below the BRC.

UG2 chromitite layer

The UG2 chromitite layer (UG2) is located some 350-360m below the
Merensky Reef (Gain, 1995). The following description of the UG2
pertains to work conducted on Garatau by Nkwe Platinum, but is typical
for this part of the Bushveld Complex. The UG2 is a composite layer
commonly, but not always, underlain by a basal pegmatoid. This is
overlain, through a dimpled contact, by a massive chromitite layer which
is 0,5 to 0,8m thick. This massive chromitite layer consists of fine
grained chromite grains with intercumulus orthopyroxene and
plagioclase and commonly has a sharp and planar upper contact. The
silicate minerals, found in the chromitite layer, form irregularly
distributed crystals which poikilitically enclose the chromite and form
mottles up to 15mm in diameter. The UG2 has up to 3 chromitite
stringers above which are enclosed within a fine- to medium-grained
feldspathic orthopyroxenite forming a composite package, 0,10-0,15m
thick. PGE mineralization is associated with very meager sulphide
(<1% of the mode) and increases towards the top and bottom of the
chromitite layer. It can also occur within the overlying chromitite
stringers and the basal pegmatoid.
Later Dykes, Pipes and Structural Setting
A detailed aeromagnetic survey, under the supervision of GAP
Geophysics, was conducted on the Garatau during 2007. Line spacing
was 50m and the ground clearance was 20-30m. This work, together
with diamond drilling, has allowed for the production of a map in which
the general structural setting is defined. S. Gain outlines that this work
has determined the following:!
both the Merensky Reef and the UG2 dip constantly at angles
varying from 6-8W. Indications are that dip reduces with depth as
the measurements on Maandagshoek showed an average dip of 910W;
!
the airborne magnetic information, combined with SPOT and
conventional airborne photography and ground mapping, show the
strike of the layering to be NNW-SSE;
!
dykes of a Karoo to post-Karoo age occur in the region. Two
prominent dykes on Garatau trend N-S and show a positive
magnetic polarity. The dykes are commonly vertical to sub-vertical.
If there is a dip, it is towards the east;
!
the dolerite dykes intrude along fault lines and structural zones of
weakness. Displacements (faulting) are generally minimal,
although one dyke on Garatau shows a 65m normal throw; and
InterAction
various ultramafic pipes occur on

Maandagshoek and Garatau. There is no
information on their composition and
whether they have been tested for their
PGE content.
The Genesis of the PGE sulphide

Mineralisation
The origin of the PGE mineralisation in the BIC
has been investigated for 100 years and
remains a matter of debate. A possibility exists
that PGE's are concentrated in primary basaltic
to komatiitic composition magma when a high
degree of partial melting (30%) of the upper
mantle occurs. Within this primary melt, some
mechanism to induce sulphide saturation was
active to produce a sulphide liquid which
segregates from the primary magma. Magma
mixing, crustal contamination and fractional
crystallisation are the most important
processes known to induce sulphide saturation
in magma during intrusion.
Once sulphide saturation of magma was

reached, a sulphide liquid segregated from the
primary magma and strong partitioning of
PGE's, Ni and Cu into this segregated liquid
took place. It is has been suggested that these sulphide droplets act as
a scavenging medium for the PGE's and the droplets collect on the floor
of the magma chamber where the ore-bearing layers form (Eales,
2001).
5.
LOCAL GEOLOGY
Reconnaissance mapping carried out has revealed that the farms lie in
the Main and Upper Zones of the BIC. The Critical Zone which is known
to host both PGE targets, the Merensky Reef and the UG2, lies directly
below the Main Zone.
Throughout the BIC the PGE and other mineral layers are tabular
bodies extending laterally over hundreds of square kilometres, resulting
in extensive mineral resources whose continuity has been established
over years of exploration and mining. Using exploration information
from public domain of companies surrounding the Northern Cluster, a
series of reef contours was constructed by S. Gain and used to predict
the behaviour of the mineralisation on the farms.
The two PGE layers are expected to have dips ranging between 180
west in the south-east and 300 South-Eest in the North-West under the
Northern Cluster farms.
Two diapiric structures, the Paradys and the Phoshiri domes are
thought to have deformed the Critical Zone rocks close to the outer
edges of the Northern and Central clusters, providing an uplift of the ore
host rocks closer to surface than the norm for the area. This is shown in
Figure 3 . The precise extent of the structural complexity of the area will
be a focus of the technical assessment of the area by Absolute.
6. DEPOSIT TYPE AND MINERALISATION

The mineralised Merensky Reef and UG2 are magmatic and layered,
segregation deposits containing economic quantities of PGE's and
base metals. The PGE's are associated with chromite and base metal
sulphides.
Depth of Mineralisation
The Merensky layer is expected to be between 1,600 to 2,500m below
surface in the Northern Cluster and the parting between the Merensky
and the UG2 is expected to be about 390m.

8. EXPLORATION WORK STRATEGY

Desk top studies have already been carried out by S. Gain and
Snowden of the Clusters and surrounding properties. Due to the
remoteness of the area under review, a base camp will have to be
constructed and access roads to some of the drill sites be constructed
by bulldozers. The 1:10,000 topographic map has been used to lay
boreholes and roads for the Northern Cluster. Reconnaissance
mapping will be carried out in conjunction with the diamond drilling. S.
Gain suggests that field traverses using a portable magnetometer be
conducted to better define the positions of dykes, faults and ultra-mafic
pegmatoids. The results obtained will be plotted onto a 1:10,000 maps.
Figure 4 illustrates a schematic cross sectional view, through line A-B,

of the Eastern BIC including the Northern Cluster PGE prospects.
The section is important to illustrate the disposition of the chrome,
Merensky and UG2 mines in the area and the extent to which Absolute's
strategy to explore the deeper extension of the existing operation is
technically feasible. The figure also illustrates how the reefs outcrop on
surface on the adjacent Ga-Pasha property.
7. EXPLORATION TARGETS
Surrounding properties and projects were studied and used to predict
the resource parameters for the Northern Cluster target area.
Information was obtained from reports by S. Gain, Qinisele internal
reports, Snowden as well as projects and mines on the public domain.
The summary of these is shown in Table 3.
A phased diamond drilling programme was designed by Snowden and

reviewed by S. Gain. Wire-line logging and relative density analyses
have been included. The mother holes are to be deflected into four short
deflections from 6, 12, 15 and 24m above reef intersections. These
holes should go at least 1m into the footwall of the reef. S. Gain has
reviewed the Snowden work and has proposed starting four exploration
boreholes (S-001 to S-004) in the Northern Cluster. These are shown in
Figure 5.
The above parameters were then used to estimate a reconnaissance

estimate for the Northern Cluster in Table 4. The areas used are as
given through the Deeds' office website.

On a macro scale dyke swarms cut the farms Zeekoegat, Middelpunt

and Umkoanestad with a northeast predominant direction. They can
vary in width up to 10m wide. The dykes do not present serious
problems during mining and previous and current mining operations
report insignificant displacements. In 2009, Bokoni refined 57,200oz of
4PGE. The reserves and resources published by Anglo Platinum as at
the end of 2009 are shown in Table 6 and 7 respectively. Two expansion
projects, the Middelpunt Hill UG2 expansion and the Brakfontein
Merensky expansion are well advanced and will progressively increase
the platinum production of Bokoni Mine. Stoping widths appear to be
standardized to 0.95m for both reefs.

Steve Gain obtained geological information from Bokoni Mine for the
area. The geologic losses at Bokoni are estimated to be 20% for the
Merensky Reef and 15% for the UG-2 chromitite layer. The losses are
attributable to potholes (UG2-9% and Merensky-16%), pegmatites,
which replace the reef (<3% for both reefs), dykes (4% in both reefs),
structural and alteration features such as faults, shears, joints, veins
and alteration zones, which cause minor complications in mining.

12. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Northern Cluster is situated within a prime segment of the Eastern Limb of the BIC, where numerous companies are prospecting and successfully mining
PGE's from the Merensky Reef and UG2. The exploration approach for the project is systematic and appropriate for the style of mineralisation and the expected
target resource would be of a sufficient quantity to support the exploration programme being suggested. Prospecting rights are still valid and the companies
should initiate exploration.
As part of the second generation mines that would soon come into production, the Bauba properties are relatively 'shallow' still. Geologically the Bauba project
should be suitable for mining as the mineralised reefs are expected to be continuous, judging from their neighbours. The reefs have partings in excess of 390m
and this may have advantages in that the two reefs can be co-extracted without affecting mining sequences and geotechnical properties. The disadvantages
are that the accesses haulages etc cannot be shared between the two reefs.
Though collectively the Clusters are considered potentially deep mines, South Africa has the capabilities and the technology to mine down to 4,000m below
surface as evidenced by the current deep mining in the Witwatersrand gold mines.
13. REFERENCE TO RISK IN THE FULL CPR
As of the effective date, Venmyn is not aware of any significant risk that could affect Absolute's business plan and production plans other than the normal risks

Purpose:
This is an Independent assessment and verification of Bauba's PGE prospective properties on

behalf of Absolute Holdings. Absolute's strategic objective is to initially build a 0.35Moz p.a. PGE
mine within the next 10 years and ramp it up to 1Moz p.a. within 20 years. The Company has entered
into a binding agreement with Bauba A Hlabirwa Mining Investments (Pty) Limited (Bauba)
whereby Absolute will acquire a 60% share in the PGE explorer.
Technical Reports as supplied by Qinisele Resources including Press releases of 16th February 2010
Business Day article, Absolute takes 60% stake in the PGE explorer Bauba, as well as reports
from the public domain of adjacent mineral properties. Property areas were obtained from Win
Deed, a Deeds and Office Enquiry website.
A site inspection was carried out on 25th February by Venmyn, S. Gain from S.Gain Consulting cc and
Qinisele Resources personnel. The Southern and Central Clusters were visited at the time.
Bauba holds prospecting rights, in the North Eastern Bushveld Igneous Complex (BIC), over nine
farms extending over an area of approximately 56km in length and 6km in width (approximating
14,480ha). The farms have been grouped into three areas namely the Northern, Central and

Johannesburg
Southern Clusters. The Central Cluster is being dealt with in this report. It consists of the
Magneetsvlaakte 541KS and Dingaanskop 543KS. The combined area of the two farms covers just
Durban over 2,100ha. All the Bauba farms lie along the Leolo mountain range in the Limpopo Province
approximately 40km northwest of the Limpopo Province town of Steelpoort and 245km northeast of
Johannesburg. To the east and up-dip, the Bauba mineral assets are surrounded by several current
operating mines and development projects.

The farms are surrounded, by operating PGE mines and development
projects on the eastern side. The Central Cluster, in particular, lies due
west and down dip of Twickenham Platinum Mine and Tjate Project as
seen in Figure 1.
The climate of the area is typical of sub-tropical Highveld with warm

moist summers and cool dry winters. The rainfall on escarpments is
higher at annual averages of 700mm compared to about 500mm in the
valleys. Precipitation is usually in the form of thunderstorms during
summer.
The sudden downpours pose some risk of flooding in low-lying areas.
Temperatures recorded at Steelpoort vary between 30 and 17.6C in
January and 21.6 to 3.8C in July. Extremes of 40 and -2.3 C have
also been recorded. The mostly moderate climate means that
exploration and mining operations can be undertaken throughout the
year, with no extraordinary measures required.

The Central Cluster lies along the Leolo mountain range in the Limpopo
Province, with elevations lying between 980m and 1,200m.

The UG2 chromitite layer (UG2) is located some 350-360m below the
Merensky Reef (Gain, 1995). The following description of the UG2
pertains to work conducted on Garatau by Nkwe Platinum, but is typical
for this part of the Bushveld Complex. The UG2 is a composite layer
commonly, but not always, underlain by a basal pegmatoid. This is
overlain, through a dimpled contact, by a massive chromitite layer
which is 0,5 to 0,8m thick. This massive chromitite layer consists of fine
grained chromite grains with intercumulus orthopyroxene and
mottles up to 15mm in diameter.
saturation was active to produce a sulphide liquid which segregates

from the primary magma. Magma mixing, crustal contamination and
fractional crystallisation are the most important processes known to
induce sulphide saturation in magma during intrusion.
Once sulphide saturation of magma was reached, a sulphide liquid
segregated from the primary magma and strong partitioning of PGE's,
Ni and Cu into this segregated liquid took place. It is has been
suggested that these sulphide droplets act as a scavenging medium for
the PGE's and the droplets collect on the floor of the magma chamber
where the ore-bearing layers form (Eales, 2001).
5.
The UG2 has up to 3 chromitite stringers above which are enclosed

within a fine- to medium-grained feldspathic orthopyroxenite forming a
composite package, 0,10-0,15m thick. PGE mineralization is
associated with very meager sulphide (<1% of the mode) and increases
towards the top and bottom of the chromitite layer. It can also occur
within the overlying chromitite stringers and the basal pegmatoid.

Using exploration information from public domain of companies
surrounding the Bauba properties a series of reef contours were
constructed by S. Gain and used to predict the behaviour of the
mineralisation on the Central Cluster. These showed that the reefs
should have shallowed to dips of about 11 to 12to the west compared
to the Northern Cluster.

strategy to explore the deeper extension of the existing operation is

The Central Cluster area is traversed by faults and dykes and has a
known presence of unconformable pegmatoids on adjacent properties.
Destructive intrusions in the form of IRUP (iron rich replacement
pegmatites) are recorded on the adjacent Marula Platinum property.
These together with potholes have been known to disturb the Critical
Zone on the Eastern limb.
The parameters were then used to estimate a reconnaissance estimate

for the Central Cluster in. The areas used are as given through the
Deeds' office website. Table 4 below.
However in the Northern to Central Clusters, two diapiric structures, the

Paradys and the Phoshiri domes are thought to have deformed the
Critical, Main and Upper Zone rocks close to their outer edges,
providing an uplift of the ore host rocks closer to surface than the norm
for the area. S. Gain predicts that this could influence the continuity of
the mineralization through structural influences, especially closer to the
western sides of the Central Cluster. Absolute will assess this area
through their exploration program.

DEPOSIT TYPE AND MINERALISATION

The mineralised Merensky Reef and UG2 are magmatic and layered

EXPLORATION WORK STRATEGY

remoteness of the area under review, a base camp will have to be
constructed and access roads to some of the drill sites be constructed
by bulldozers. The 1:10,000 topographic map has been used to lay
boreholes and roads for the Central Cluster.
Reconnaissance mapping will be carried out in conjunction with the
diamond drilling. S. Gain suggests that field traverses using a portable
magnetometer be conducted to better define the positions of dykes,
faults and ultra-mafic pegmatoids. The results obtained will be plotted
onto a 1:10,000 maps.
S. Gain proposes a vibroseis survey to the eastern edge of the Paradys
structure along well established roads in Dingaanskop farm to
determine the depth of the target layers.
The first intersections of the Merensky are expected to be between
1,400m and 2,400m below surface under the Central Cluster and the
parting between the Merensky and UG2 is expected to be 400m.
A phased diamond drilling programme for four boreholes, MT-001 to

MT-004 was designed by S. Gain. Wire-line logging and relative density
analyses will be included. The mother holes are to be deflected into four
short deflections from 6, 12, 15 and 24m above reef intersections.
These holes should go at least 1m into the footwall of the reef. The plan
view is shown in Figure 5.

Tjate Project
The project area lies down-dip between Twickenham and the Central
Cluster and is owned by Jubilee. It consists of these farms; Tjate 249,
Fernkloof 539 and Quartzhill 542. Diamond drilling to date has
intersected both reefs. Snowden reports that the Merensky has been
intersected at depths between 722 to 900m and the UG2 between
1,076 and 1,290m. The average separation in the area is about 400m.
The two reefs are reported to be similar to the Twickenham ones. The
entire sequence of rocks at Tjate strikes south-southeast and dips at
12 south-westerly.
The borehole, MT003, will be sited on an accessible and flat area as

shown in Figure 6. The picture was taken looking north from
Dingaanskop farm. The borehole depths for the Central Cluster are
expected to be between 1,800 and 2,200m each in length. Hence a total
of 8,800m is budgeted for in the Central Cluster holes.
All the reef drilling, sampling, core storage and logging will be carried
out in accordance with the accepted industrial QA/QC normal practices
as defined in Table 1 of the SAMREC Code.

ESTIMATED EXPLORATION COSTS

S. Gain could provide the cost to drill the four holes on the Central
Cluster. The cost amounted to ZAR18.08m. The costs for the vibroseis
surveys are not included.
Destructive intrusions in the form of IRUP (iron rich replacement

pegmatites) are recorded on the adjacent Marula Platinum property.
These are pipe like bodies that take up any shape across or concordant
to the layers and cause dramatic displacement in the dips and strike of
the ore bodies. Sometimes they cause partial to total replacement of the
reefs, mineral alterations in the UG2 from chromites to magnetites and
sulphidic PGE minerals to ferro-platinum PGE's. The destructive nature
of these bodies is such that they have influences up to 300m away from
their location. Geological losses in this area have been estimated to be
25% because of these bodies. Apparent thicknesses recorded on
exploration results range between 0.91 and 1.07m for the Merensky
and 0.88 to 1.12m for the UG2.

BRIEF REVIEW OF NEIGHBOURING PROPERTIES

Twickenham Platinum Mine
The 100% Anglo Platinum owned underground mine lies due west of
the Central Cluster. The mine is classified as a project in execution,
producing only about 10,000 tonnes a month. The local geology is very
typical as that described for the Eastern Limb. The average recorded
true dip of the orebody is about 16 SW and stoping widths of about

0.90m. Table 6 and Table 7 summarise the Reserve and Resource
figures for Twickenham as at the end of year 2009.

The reefs have partings in excess of 350m and this may have advantages in
that the two reefs can be co-extracted with minimum effect on mining
sequences and geotechnical properties between the reefs. as part of the
second generation group of mines, the Central Cluster would be considered
an averagely deep mine when the second generation mines come into
production in the future.
Though collectively the Clusters are considered potentially deep mines,
South Africa has the capabilities and the technology to mine beyond
2,000m to 4,000m below surface as evidenced by the current deep mining
in the Witwatersrand gold mines.
As of the effective date, Venmyn is not aware of any significant risk that
could affect Absolute's business plan and production plans other than the
normal risks associated with a mining of the PGE's, construction and
operation of a PGE processing plant as detailed in Section 18 of the CPR.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Central Cluster is situated within a prime segment of the Eastern Limb
of the BIC, where numerous neighbouring companies are prospecting and
successfully mining PGE's from the Merensky Reef and UG2. The
proximity of the Central Cluster to the Tjate, well drilled and explored
properties, would expedite the understanding of the geology and
mineralisation in this area.
The exploration approach for the project is systematic and appropriate for
the style of mineralisation; and the estimated target is of a sufficient quantity
to support the exploration programme being suggested. Prospecting rights
are still valid and the company should initiate exploration. Absolute has
already got plans in place to explore the target fully.

Province, approximately 40km north-northwest of the Limpopo
The farms are surrounded, by operating PGE mines and development
projects on the eastern side. The Southern Cluster, in particular, lies
due west and down dip of Nkwe PGE prospects and Modikwa
Platinum Mine, which is owned by Anglo Platinum and ARM. The
location of these properties is shown in Figure 1.
The photograph in Figure 2, taken in February 2010 during a site visit,

serves to illustrate how some parts of the Southern Cluster can easily
be accessed using dirt roads that are already in place.
The climate of the area is typical of sub-tropical Highveld with warm
moist summers and cool dry winters. The rainfall on escarpments is
higher at annual averages of 700mm compared to about 500mm in the
valleys. Precipitation is usually in the form of thunderstorms during
summer. The sudden downpours pose some risk of flooding in lowlying areas. Temperatures recorded at Steelpoort vary between 300
and 17.60C in January and 21.60 to 3.80C in July. Extremes of 400 and -

The Southern Cluster lies along the Leolo mountain range in the
Limpopo Province, with elevations lying between 1,487m and
1,886m. The elevation difference between Groot Vygenboom 284 KT,
Genokakop 285KT and Houtbosch 323KT is about 400m. There are
some inter-mountain flat lying valleys where dirt roads are used by
vehicles and the local people to access the villages and will be used to
access some of the drilling sites. Accessibility to some of the drilling
sites could be a problem. Road building will be necessary.
2.30 C have also been recorded.

The mostly moderate climate means that exploration and mining
operations can be undertaken throughout the year, with no
extraordinary measures required. Field camps will be constructed for
the drilling.
Where necessary, access roads into the properties will be cut with the
aid of bulldozers. Water for drilling will be transported to site.

These form an ellipse in plan, some 200km by 370km in extent with
granites and felsic volcanic in the central and southern regions.
The BIC exhibits remarkably consistent layering that can be
correlated extensively throughout the geologic expression of the
whole complex. Figure 3 portrays the plan view as well as the vertical
representation of the stratigraphy of the Bauba Project area in relation
to the geology of the Eastern BIC. The units in Table 2 are the units as
they have been described by S. Gain.

The Merensky Cyclic Unit occurs close to the top of the Critical Zone.
At Winnaarshoek this unit consists of a 2-5 meter thick feldspathic

microscopic studies have shown the feldspathic pyroxenite to consist
of medium-grained (1-30mm) orthopyroxene with intercumulus

contamination and fractional crystallisation are the most important
processes known to induce sulphide saturation in magma during
intrusion.

The UG2 chromitite layer (UG2) is located some 350-360m below
the Merensky Reef (Gain, 1995). The following description of the UG2
pertains to work conducted on Garatau by Nkwe Platinum, but is
typical for this part of the Bushveld Complex. The UG2 is a composite
layer commonly, but not always, underlain by a basal pegmatoid. This
is overlain, through a dimpled contact, by a massive chromitite layer
which is 0,5 to 0,8m thick. This massive chromitite layer consists of
fine grained chromite grains with intercumulus orthopyroxene and
mottles up to 15mm in diameter. The UG2 has up to 3 chromitite
stringers above which are enclosed within a fine- to medium-grained
feldspathic orthopyroxenite forming a composite package, 0,100,15m thick. PGE mineralization is associated with very meager
sulphide (<1% of the mode) and increases towards the top and bottom
of the chromitite layer. It can also occur within the overlying chromitite
stringers and the basal pegmatoid.
Once sulphide saturation of magma was reached, a sulphide liquid

segregated from the primary magma and strong partitioning of PGE's,
Ni and Cu into this segregated liquid took place. It is has been
suggested that these sulphide droplets act as a scavenging medium
for the PGE's and the droplets collect on the floor of the magma
chamber where the ore-bearing layers form (Eales, 2001).

EXPLORATION TARGETS
the resource parameters for the Southern Cluster target area.
Information was obtained from reports by S. Gain, Qinisele internal
reports, Snowden as well as projects and mines on the public domain.
The summary of these is shown in Table 3.
The parameters were then used to estimate a reconnaissance
estimate for the Southern Cluster in table 4. The areas used are as
given through the Deeds' office website.
7.
The Merensky layer is expected to be at least 1,050m to 2,150m below
surface in the Southern Cluster and the parting between the Merensky
and UG2 is expected to be between 350 and 365m. Of the three
Clusters, mineralisation should be closest to surface under the
Southern Cluster.
EXPLORATION WORK STRATEGY

remoteness of the area under review, a base camp will have to be built
and access roads to some of the drill sites be constructed by
bulldozers. The 1:10,000 topographic map has been used to lay
boreholes and roads for the Southern Cluster.
Reconnaissance mapping will be carried out in conjunction with the
diamond drilling. S. Gain suggests that field traverses using a portable
magnetometer be conducted to better define the positions of dykes,
faults and ultra-mafic pegmatoids. The results obtained will be plotted
onto a 1:10,000 maps. A phased diamond drilling programme was
designed by Snowden and reviewed by S. Gain. Wire-line logging and
relative density analyses of the holes will be included. The mother
holes are to be deflected into four short deflections from 6, 12, 15 and
24m above reef intersections.
Figure 4 illustrates a schematic cross sectional view of the Eastern BIC

including the Southern Cluster PGE prospect. The section is important
to illustrate the disposition of the chrome, Merensky and UG2 mines in
the area and the extent to which Absolute's strategy to explore the
deeper extension of the existing operation is technically feasible. The
figure also illustrates how the reefs outcrop on surface on the adjacent
Nkwe and Modikwa properties.

ESTIMATED EXPLORATION COSTS

The cost amounted to ZAR31.64m for drilling 14,000m.
Qinisele Resources and S. Gain provided the cost to drill the first 2 BQ
size holes down to a depth of 2,000m on the Southern Cluster.
Venmyn then used the cost to estimate the cost of drilling the first
seven holes on the Southern Cluster. The cost amounted to
ZAR31.64m. The cost breakdown is shown in Table 5.
These holes should go at least 1m into the footwall of the reef. S. Gain
has reviewed the Snowden work and has proposed starting with
seven exploration boreholes (BAUBA-001 to BAUBA-007) in the
Southern Cluster. A total of about 14,000m is expected to be drilled
initially. The approximate drilling positions are shown in Figure 5.

The first borehole site, BAUBA-001, will be sited on an accessible and

flat inter-mountain area as shown in . The picture in Figure 6 was taken
looking east from Genokakop farm. The flat lying areas require the
minimum amount of site preparation and clearing in terms of drilling
sites.

BRIEF REVIEW OF NEIGHBOURING PROPERTIES

Modikwa Platinum Mine
Modikwa Platinum is an underground mine that lies up-dip of the
Southern Cluster. Exploration started in the 1920s and by the 1980s
both the Merensky and the UG2 had been explored. The mine was
established in 1999. In 2001 a 50:50 joint Venture was entered into
between Anglo Platinum and ARM Mining Consortium Limited. The
igneous layering at Modikwa strikes north-northwest and dips at about
0
10 to the west. The UG2 gently undulates with amplitudes of less than
2m. This phenomenon is pervasive throughout the mine. Snowden
records a UG2 seam width of 0.60m.

Potholes are recorded to be abundant in their North shaft area

decreasing southwards towards the South shaft area which has more
prevalence of faults compared to the North shaft area. There are also
records of large ultra-mafic pegmatoids intrusions that have disturbed
and replaced the UG2 around the Onverwacht Hill which lies south of
the South shaft. A mineral Reserve and Resource statement has been
collated from Anglo Platinum's website.
The exact positions of the rest of the boreholes will be determined after
geologic mapping and ground magnetometer surveys. The depth per
hole is expected not to exceed 2,000m.
Nkwe Platinum
Nkwe properties lie due east and up-dip of the Southern Cluster.
Diamond drilling has been carried out and over 37km worth of drilling
has been recorded. Both reefs outcrop to the east and have been
intersected at depths of no more than 700m for the Merensky and no
more than 1,100m for the UG2.
All the reef drilling, sampling, core storage, logging and database
management will be carried out in accordance with the accepted
industrial QA/QC normal practices as defined in Table 1 of the
SAMREC Code.

On the Garatau reef widths have been recorded by Snowden as 2.42m

the UG2. On the Eerste Geluk farm the Merensky outcrops and
averages about 2.18m and the UG2 0.77m at a depth of about 300m.
The proximity of the well drilled Nkwe properties to the Southern Cluster will
expedite the understanding of the geology and mineralisation. In this area,
the mineral intersections are expected to be closest to surface compared to
the other two Clusters.
Though collectively the Clusters are considered potentially deep mines,
South Africa has the capabilities and the technology to mine down to
4,000m below surface as evidenced by the current deep mining in the
Witwatersrand gold mines.

10. EFFECT OF MINERALISATION DEPTH ON SHAFT DEPTHS

A study was carried out by Snowden to show the shaft depths of
existing mines and expected shaft depths of future mines. The
Southern Cluster lies in the middle range as shown in Figure 7.
Neither Venmyn, its staff, nor associates have or have had any interest in
this project capable of affecting their ability to give an unbiased opinion and
have not and will not, receive any pecuniary or other benefits in connection
with this assignment, other than normal consulting fees. Absolute Holdings
Limited has warranted in writing that it has openly provided all material
information to Venmyn, which, to the best of its knowledge and
understanding, is complete, accurate and true.
11. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Southern Cluster is situated within a prime segment of the Eastern
Limb of the BIC, where numerous neighbouring companies are prospecting
and successfully mining PGE's from the Merensky Reef and UG2. The
expected target resource would be of a sufficient quantity to support the
exploration programme being suggested. The exploration approach for the
project is systematic and appropriate for the style of mineralisation.

that the Executive Summary is a true reflection of the full CPR.
The Southern Cluster has some relatively flat and easily accessible areas
that require the least amount of preparation in comparison to the other
Clusters.

MINERAL ASSET VALUATION FOR THE BAUBA PROJECT
Venmyn was commissioned by Absolute to perform an independent valuation of the Bauba Projects. The valuation was compiled in accordance with the reporting
and assessment criteria stipulated for Mineral Asset Valuations in the SAMVAL Code (2009). The valuation results are reported as the full project values
attributable to the individual Cluster projects.
The valuation approaches and methodologies adopted by Venmyn are based upon the principle of determining market-related values for the mineral asset held
by Bauba and to be incorporated into Absolute. For the full details of the approach refer to the full CPR.
This report has valued the Bauba mineral assets using industry-standard methods, selected according to the development stage of the mineral asset. Each of the
Bauba Clusters are at an early exploration phase and require significant exploration drilling and geological evaluation work going forward. Therefore, each Cluster
has been valued using the cost and market approach. The selection of an appropriate valuation approach is dependent on the availability of information on the
property. The SAMVAL Code (item 24) prescribes the competent valuator to use at least two valuation approaches.
MARKET APPROACH
The market approach relies on the principle of willing buyer, willing seller and requires that the amount obtainable from the sale of the asset is determined as if in
an arm's length transaction. The conclusion of the Bauba agreement with Absolute transaction entails that a deemed amount for the mineral resources translated
into a straight equity paper swap. The basis of this was the Exploration Target Resources follows: REEF

Venmyn maintains a comprehensive database of platinum transactions and unit market capitalisations of platinum companies, which is continually updated. This
information is collated to produce a Platinum Valuation Curve and is illustrated in the platinum curve. The curve which demonstrates the range of indicative
market-related values of in situ USD/oz attributed to the different categories of Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve.
The Comparative Value per resource ounce was calculated upon the basis of Venmyn's database of historical PGE transactions within the southern African
context. Therefore, at this stage the value of the Bauba properties is ZAR573.23m or USD0.50/oz.

The SAMVAL Code definition states that the cost approach relies on historical and/or future expenditure on the Mineral Asset. Unfortunately, the cost approach
cannot be applied at this stage as no cash has transacted.
VALUATION SUMMARY AND CONCLUDING OPINION
The Absolute Bauba transaction is essentially a straight paper deal reflecting in an underlying market cap per ounce method and the equity purchase method
which are both part of the market approach. Absolute has managed to prepare the basis of the new PGE business on a relatively low USD0.50oz basis. Providing
the company exploration spend is systematically successful in moving Exploration Target resources into properly quantified SAMREC compliant mineral
resources the resources value should move up the value curve as shown in the valuation graph. Where the upside will settle will be dependent on demonstrating
the true value of the company's strategic drivers in the BIC
CONCLUSIONS
The global mineral resources market is experiencing unusual and exceptional circumstances, with commodity prices reaching record levels. This is particularly
relevant for PGE's and this has led to a significant revival of interest in the exploration of deeper mineral resource in the BIC. Absolute has acquired deeper level
PGE mineral resources in the Eastern BIC and needs to spend exploration monies to move the value proposition up the value curve. Venmyn will assist in the
future to assess the levels of statistical confidence that new borehole results generate for both the Merensky Reef and the UG2 so that the move towards
generating Indicated Resources and then Probable Reserves for commercial exploitation can be achieved.

22 April 2010
Dear Sirs
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL EXPERT TO ABSOLUTE HOLDINGS LIMITED
REGARDING THE CHANGE IN CONTROL OF ABSOLUTE
Introduction
Moore Stephens Corporate Finance has been appointed by the board of directors of Absolute Holdings
Limited (Absolute, or the company) to provide an independent fairness opinion to the shareholders of
Absolute with regard to the conclusion of the following agreements:
(i) The acquisition of an effective 60% interest in Bauba A Hlabirwa Mining Investments (Proprietary) Limited
(Bauba) for a purchase consideration of R340 623 000 to be settled through the issue of 68 124 600
new shares in Absolute at an issue price of R5.00 per share; and
(ii) The proposed further acquisition of an effective 60% interest in the Houtbosch prospecting right, subject
to the notarial execution and registration of the already granted prospecting right, for a purchase
consideration of R105 948 000, which will be settled though the issue of 21 189 600 new shares in
Absolute at an issue price of R5.00 per share,
(together the transaction).
Following the transaction and after the capital raising and partial settlement of advisory fees via the issue of
new Absolute shares, the shareholders of Bauba will hold 89,314,200 shares, or an effective 65.1% equity
interest in the combined entity (which will be renamed Bauba Platinum Limited) . The transaction will result
in a change in control of Absolute and consequently is an affected transaction as defined in Section 440A of
the Companies Act, which is subject to the provisions of the Securities Regulation Code on Takeovers and
Mergers (the SRP Code).
Fairness opinion required in terms of the SRP Code
The transaction will result in an effective change in control of Absolute and the directors of Absolute are
required, in terms of Rule 3 of the SRP Code, to obtain appropriate external advice on the transaction as to
how it affects all holders of securities in Absolute.
Responsibility
Compliance with the SRP Code is the responsibility of the directors of Absolute. Our responsibility is to report
to the shareholders on the fairness of the terms and conditions of the proposed transaction.
Explanation as to how the term fair applies in the context of the transaction
The fairness of a transaction is based on quantitative issues. In the case of a sale of shares or assets, a
transaction may be said to be fair if the value of the consideration received is greater than or equal to the
value of the asset that is the subject of the transaction.
90
The transaction would be considered fair to the shareholders of Absolute if the value received by Absolute
shareholders in terms of the transaction is equal to or greater than the value of the 89,314,200 shares to be
issued to the Bauba shareholders, which consequently will result in the value of one Absolute share after
implementation of the transaction being equal to or greater than the value of one Absolute share before
implementation of the transaction.
Conversely, the transactions would be considered unfair if the value received by Absolute in terms of the
transaction is less than the value of the 89,314,200 shares to be issued to the Bauba shareholders, which
would result in the value of one Absolute share after implementation of the transaction being less than the
value of one Absolute share before implementation of the transaction.

Publicly available information relating to the industry in which Absolute and Bauba operate that we deemed
to be relevant, including company announcements, analysts reports and media articles.
The information above was sourced from:
Directors and management of Absolute and Bauba and their advisors; and
Third party sources, insofar as such information related to publicly available economic, market and other
data applicable to or potentially influencing our valuation.
91
Assumptions
We arrived at our opinion based on the following assumptions:
That all agreements that will be entered into in terms of the transaction will be legally enforceable;
That reliance can be placed on the audited financial information of Absolute and Bauba; and
That reliance can be placed on the independent CPRs and mineral asset valuations in respect of the
mineral assets of Absolute and Bauba.
Appropriateness and reasonableness of underlying information and assumptions
We satisfied ourselves as to the appropriateness and reasonableness of the information and assumptions
employed in arriving at our opinion by:
Reliance on audit reports in the financial statements of Absolute and Bauba;
Conducting reviews on the financial and economic data and forecasts set out in the CPRs; and
Determining the extent to which representations from management were confirmed by documentary
evidence as well as our understanding of Absolute and Bauba and the economic environment in which
they operate.
Limiting conditions
This opinion is provided to the board of directors and shareholders of Absolute in connection with and for
the purposes of the transaction. The opinion does not purport to cater for each individual shareholders
perspective, but rather that of the general body of Absolute shareholders.
Individual shareholders decisions regarding the transaction may be influenced by such shareholders
particular circumstances and accordingly individual shareholders should consult an independent advisor if
in any doubt as to the merits or otherwise of the transaction.
We have relied upon and assumed the accuracy of the information provided to us in deriving our opinion.
Where practical, we have corroborated the reasonableness of the information provided to us for the purpose
of our opinion, whether in writing or obtained in discussion with management of Absolute, by reference
to publicly available or independently obtained information. While our work has involved an analysis of,
inter alia, the annual financial statements, and other information provided to us, our engagement does not
constitute an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Where relevant, forward-looking information on Absolute relates to future events and is based on assumptions
that may or may not remain valid for the whole of the forecast period. Consequently, such information cannot
be relied upon to the same extent as that derived from audited financial statements for completed accounting
periods. We express no opinion as to how closely the actual future results of Absolute will correspond to
those projected. Where practicable, we have compared the forecast financial information to past trends as
well as discussing the assumptions inherent therein with management.
We have also assumed that the transaction will have the legal consequences described in discussions with,
and materials furnished to us by representatives and advisors of Absolute and we express no opinion on
such consequences.
Our opinion is based on current economic, regulatory and market as well as other conditions. Subsequent
developments may affect this opinion, and we are under no obligation to update, review or re-affirm our
opinion based on such developments.
Independence
We confirm that Moore Stephens Corporate Finance has no equity interest in Absolute or in any other party to
the transaction. We further confirm that there is no existing relationship between Moore Stephens Corporate
Finance and any of the parties to the transaction.
Furthermore, we confirm that our professional fees are not contingent upon the success of the proposed
transaction.
92
Valuation
Moore Stephens Corporate Finance performed a valuation of Absolute and Bauba to determine the value of
the shares to be issued to Bauba shareholders and the value received by Absolute shareholders, respectively.
We have used the net asset value (NAV) methodology as our primary basis for the valuation of Absolute
and Bauba.
Under the net asset valuation approach, total equity value is based on the sum of tangible net asset value
plus the value of intangible assets not recorded on the balance sheet.
The NAV method of valuation is normally most appropriate for the valuation of a pure investment company.
This valuation approach is considered to value an investment company, where the value attributable to such
company would be determined on a sum of the parts basis. As such, a net asset methodology is most
applicable for businesses such as Absolute and Bauba where the value lies in the underlying assets and not
the ongoing operations of the business.
Net asset value is determined by marking every asset and liability on and off the companys balance sheet
to current market values.

Cash, loan accounts, receivables and payables were valued at amortised cost, whereas inventories were
valued at the lower of costs and net realisable value. The values of the mineral assets were assessed based
on the approaches prescribed in the South African Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral
Resources and Mineral reserves (the SAMREC code) and the South African Code for the Reporting of
Mineral Asset Valuation (the SAMVAL code).
There are two generally accepted valuation approaches used in the valuation of exploration properties:
Cost approach; and
Market or comparative value method.
Where previous and future committed exploration expenditures are known, or can be reasonably estimated,
the Multiple of Exploration Expenditures (MME) method can be applied to derive a cost-based technical
value. The method requires establishing a relevant Expenditure Base (EB) from past and future committed
exploration expenditure. A premium or discount is then assigned to the EB through application of a
Prospectivity Enhancement Multiplier (PEM), which reflects the success or failure of exploration done to
date and the future potential of the asset. The basic tenet of this approach is that the amount of exploration
expenditure justified on a property is related to its intrinsic technical value.
Where comparable transactions relating to the sale, joint venture or farm-in/farm-out of mineral assets are
known, such transactions may be used as a guide to, or means of, valuation. For a transaction to be considered
comparable, it should be similar to the asset being valued in terms of location, timing and commodity and the
transaction regarded as of arms length.
93
Information in respect of the greenfields exploration assets is limited as all are at an early stage of development.
As such, we valued these mineral assets using the costs approach. The Lekkersing Quartzite project was
valued using a cash flow approach, which relies on the value in use principle, requiring determination of the
cash flows attributable to a project over the projects useful life. As set out in the CPR, because of the unique
characteristics of the Lekkersing quartzite deposit, market and cost approaches were not considered to be
applicable.
The valuation of QR has been determined based upon the Income Approach. The net present value is
considered to be equal to QRs forecast post-tax pre-finance income, discounted at a rate equal to the
required cost of capital.
Bauba
The Bauba project consists of Platinum Group Metals prospecting rights over nine farms. We applied the
standard comparative value method to the Bauba projects. The outcomes were also benchmarked against
current market value of listed entities holding similar assets.
Valuation considerations
The valuations were performed taking cognisance of risk and other market and industry factors affecting
Absolute and Bauba. Additionally, sensitivity analyses were performed considering key value drivers to the
mineral asset valuations.
Key internal value drivers to the valuations of the exploration mineral assets included estimated geological
data and expected future exploration expenditure. External value drivers, including commodity prices,
interest rates, CPI rates and prevailing market and industry conditions were also considered in assessing the
mineral asset valuations and risk profiles of Absolute and Bauba.
The most important value driver to the Lekkersing Quartzite project DCF is the commodity price assumption.
Other factors that were reviewed were production rates, the discount rate, working capital and capital
expenditure requirements.
Valuation summary
In undertaking the valuation exercise above, incorporating certain assumptions regarding the future realisable
value of Absolutes and Baubas mineral assets, we determined a valuation range for Absolute shares prior to
the transaction of R47.1 million to R82.5 million. Following the transaction, incorporating the valuation of the
Bauba assets and the net proceeds of the capital raising, we determined a valuation range for the shares in
the combined entity held by the Absolute shareholders of R60.3 million to R108.0 million. The value of a single
share held by an Absolute shareholder therefore increases by 28% to 31% as a result of the transaction.
Procedures
In arriving at our opinion we have undertaken the following procedures and taken into account the following
factors in evaluating the fairness of the transaction:
Reviewed the terms and conditions of the transaction;
Reviewed the terms and conditions of the agreements in respect of the secured loans;
Reviewed the audited and unaudited financial information related to Absolute and Bauba, as detailed
above;
Held discussions with directors and management of Absolute and Bauba and considered such other
matters as we considered necessary, including assessing the prevailing economic and market conditions
and trends;
Reviewed the CPRs and the basis of the assumptions therein, including the saleability and development
potential of the projects, as well as the reasonableness of the outlook assumed based on discussions with
management;
Compiled a financial model using the information contained in the CPRs and applied Moore Stephens
Corporate Finances assumptions and inputs to produce a valuation of the Absolute and Bauba mineral
assets;
94
Performed a sensitivity analysis on key assumptions included in the financial models, specifically relating
to in situ reserves and expected project advancement;
Assessed the long-term potential of Absolute and Bauba;
Evaluated the relative risks associated with Absolute and Bauba, its mineral assets and the industry in
which they operate;
Reviewed certain publicly available information relating to Absolute and Bauba that we deemed to be
relevant, including company announcements, analysts reports and media articles; and
Where relevant, representations made by management and/or directors were corroborated to source
documents or independent analytical procedures were performed by us, to examine and understand the
industry in which Absolute and Bauba operate, and to analyse external factors that could influence the
value of Absolute and Bauba.
Opinion
Moore Stephens Corporate Finance has considered the terms and conditions of the transaction and, based
on and subject to the conditions set out herein, is of the opinion that the transaction is fair to the shareholders
of Absolute.
Our opinion is necessarily based upon the information available to us up to 22 April 2010, including in
respect of the financial information as well as other conditions and circumstances existing and disclosed to
us. We have assumed that all conditions precedent, including any material regulatory and other approvals or
consents required in connection with the transaction have been fulfilled or obtained.
Accordingly, it should be understood that subsequent developments may affect this opinion, which we are
under no obligation to update, revise or re-affirm.
Yours faithfully

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF ABSOLUTE
Notice is hereby given that a general meeting of shareholders of Absolute will be held at Arcay House
II, Number 3 Anerley Road, Parktown, Johannesburg at 10h00 on Monday, 7 June 2010 to consider, and
if deemed fit, to pass, with or without modifications the special and ordinary resolutions set out below.
The definitions and interpretations set out on pages 4 to 11 of this circular, to which this notice is attached,
have been used in this notice of general meeting:
SPECIAL RESOLUTION NUMBER 1 Increase in authorised share capital
Resolved that the authorised share capital of the Company be and is hereby increased from R25 000 000
comprising 25 000 000 ordinary shares of R1.00 each through the creation of 175 000 000 new shares of
R1.00 each to R200 000 000 comprising 200 000 000 shares of R1.00 each.
Reason for and effect of Special Resolution Number 1:
The Company requires an increase in the authorised share capital in order to facilitate the acquisition of Bauba,
the share issue for cash, the Houtbosch payment shares and the issue of shares to Qinisele Resources. The
effect will be to increase the authorised share capital of the Company.
ORDINARY RESOLUTION NUMBER 1 Acquisition of Bauba and share issue for cash
Resolved that, subject to the approval of special resolution number 1 and ordinary resolution number 2, the
acquisition of an effective 60% interest in Bauba, in terms of the acquisition agreement dated 12 February
2010 between Absolute, Bauba, the Bauba sellers, NMR and the NMR sellers, for a purchase consideration
of R340 623 000, to be settled through the issue of 68 124 600 new shares in Absolute at R5.00 per share and
incorporating the minimum capital raising, as well as the potential acquisition of the Houtbosch prospecting
right, through the issue of a further 21 189 600 new shares in Absolute at R5.00 per share is hereby approved.
ORDINARY RESOLUTION NUMBER 2 Share issue for cash
Resolved that, subject to the approval of special resolution number 1 and ordinary resolution number 1,
the Company be and is hereby authorised to raise up to R150 million through the issue of up to 30 000 000
new shares at an issue price to be determined at the date of agreement to issue the shares based on market
conditions prevailing at the time of the capital raising, to various local and off-shore institutions and investors,
excluding related parties as defined in the JSE Listings Requirements, and that such placing and pricing of
shares be under the control of the directors of the Company.
96
In accordance with the Listings Requirements, approval of the specific issue for cash resolution by 75%
majority of the votes cast in favour of such resolution by all shareholders present or represented by proxy at
the general meeting, excluding any parties and their associates participating in the specific issue for cash,
are required to pass this resolution.
ORDINARY RESOLUTION NUMBER 3 Waiver of offer to minority shareholders
Resolved that, subject to the passing and becoming effective of ordinary resolution number 1 and ordinary
resolution number 2, (save for any condition in such resolution that this resolution be passed and become
effective) the obligation of the vendors, a waiver, as provided for in Rule 8.7 of the SRP Code, of any obligation
by the vendors to make a mandatory offer at R5.00 per share in terms of Rule 8.1 of the SRP Code be and is
hereby approved.
It is a requirement of the SRP Code that this ordinary resolution be passed by a majority of independent votes
cast, being the votes cast by shareholders of Absolute other than the Bauba Sellers and NMR Sellers and any
person acting in concert (as defined in the SRP Code) with the vendors.
As a result, this resolution is subject to a majority of shareholders of Absolute (excluding the Bauba Sellers
and NMR Sellers and any person acting in concert (as defined in the SRP Code) with the vendors) voting, in
person or represented by proxy, in favour of the resolution in General Meeting.
SPECIAL RESOLUTION NUMBER 2 Potential repurchase of shares
Resolved that the repurchase and cancellation of up to 37 033 200 (thirty-seven million, thirty-three
thousand, two hundred) shares of R1.00 each in terms of the claw back, sections 85(2), 85(3) and 89 of the
Act and in terms of the Rules and Requirements of the JSE, in the event that any or both of the prospecting
rights held by Bauba on the farms in the Southern Cluster, namely Groot Vygenboom 284KT and Genokakop
285KT are overturned or withdrawn, for no consideration or a maximum consideration of R1.00 in terms of the
Bauba acquisition agreement, which repurchase will have the effect of the voiding of the issue of such shares
ab initio, be and is hereby approved.
The Company requires a resolution to effectively provide for the potential repurchase and cancellation of
certain shares issued for the Bauba acquisition in terms of the claw back provisions of the Bauba acquisition
agreement. The passing and registration of this special resolution will have the effect of authorising the
Company to repurchase and cancel shares issued by the Company for the Southern Cluster prospecting
rights in the unlikely event that such rights are lost.

REVISED LISTING PARTICULARS
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1
At the general meeting of shareholders held on Monday, 7 June 2010, shareholders approved the
transaction, which included the acquisition of Bauba, shares issues, a change in control of the
Company and a change in the name of the Company to Bauba Platinum Limited.
1.2
These Revised Listing Particulars are issued to provide shareholders with additional information on
Bauba Platinum after the transactions.
1.3
Shareholders are referred to the circular to which these Revised Listing Particulars are attached,
which sets out the rationale for the transactions and the details thereof.
2. INCORPORATION, HISTORY AND PROSPECTS

2.1
History of Bauba Platinum

The Company was incorporated in the Republic on 14 November 1986 as Raydo (Proprietary)
Limited. On 17 February 1987 the Company was converted from a private company to a public
company and was subsequently listed on the Main Board of the JSE as an investment holding
company, holding the shares of Bergers Trading Holdings Limited. The Company became a cash
shell pursuant to a scheme of arrangement announced on 12 May 1995, in terms of which scheme
all the assets of the Company were disposed of.
Control of the Company was acquired by Gilboa (SA) (Proprietary) Limited and YH Investments
(Proprietary) Limited on 19 July 1995, the listing was transferred from the Main Board of the
JSE to the VCM and the Companys name was changed to Gilboa Properties Limited. A further
change in control through the injection of property assets, comprising a property development of
210 stands known as Waterkloofspruit and a rental property known as Gilboa House, by CMT Trust
was approved by shareholders on 15 January 1999.
A decision was taken by the Company at the beginning of 2001 to diversify its activities away
from long-term property development and also to focus on the mining sector. To achieve
this objective, Absolute acquired various rights to mine marine diamonds on the west coast
of South Africa and had appointed directors with diamond and mining expertise to the board.
110
Significant funding was required to commence the diamond mining operations. Following the
termination of negotiations for a capital injection into the Company with Ifa Lesizwe Investments
(Proprietary) Limited as announced on 23 April 2003, the marine diamond mining rights lapsed.
The acquisition of Absolute Tiles provided a relationship between the property industry and the
mining industry. Absolute Tiles supplied tiles to the property development industry, and had two
retail outlets in Fourways and Pretoria. Effective 1 March 2009 the Company disposed of its interest
in Absolute Tiles.
On 20 January 2005 shareholders approved the acquisition of 51% of Lenopodi from Calulo
Investments, which acquisition resulted in the injection of assets, turnover and profits into the
Absolute group in the area of mining, which was to be the focus of the group going forward. The
Companys name was changed from Gilboa Properties Limited to Absolute Holdings Limited with
effect from 31 January 2005.
In terms of a circular to shareholders dated 22 September 2008, Absolute raised R12 840 485
by way of an unconditional, fully underwritten, renounceable rights offer for 214 008 081 new
ordinary shares in Absolute at a subscription price of 6 cents per rights offer share in the ratio of
1 right offer share for every 4.00160 Absolute shares held. These monies were applied to fund the
capitalisation of the mining projects at the Diamond Quartzite and Picture Stone quarries as well
as provide additional working capital to the Absolute group. The rights offer was underwritten by
Calulo Resources, which resulted in a change in control of the Company to Calulo Resources.
At a general meeting held on 10 December 2008, shareholders approved the purchase of 25.1%
of the Qinisele Resources shareholders shareholding in Qinisele Resources with effect from 1 July
2008. In terms of the sale of shares agreement, the consideration of R20 000 000.04 was settled
through the issue of 333 333 334 new ordinary shares in Absolute at an issue price of 6 cents per
share (equating to 3 333 333 shares at R6.00 post consolidation).
On 29 July 2009 Absolute purchased 49% of the issued share capital in and 49% of the shareholders
claims against Dikopane from African Wilddogs Resources (Pty) Limited and Mafatiki Mining
Resources (Pty) Limited (the Dikopane shareholders) for an initial purchase price of R1 million,
which was settled in equal proportions of cash of R500 000 and via the issue of 8 333 333 new
ordinary shares in Absolute at an issue price of 6 cents per share (equating to 833 333 shares at
R6.00 post consolidation). Upon conclusion of a Bankable Feasibility Study, Absolute shall have an
option to purchase a further 11% of the issued share capital of and claims against Dikopane via the
issue of new ordinary shares in Absolute.
At the end of August 2009, the Company raised R7 million through the issue of 189 135 135 new
shares for cash at an issue price of 3.7 cents per share (equating to 1 891 351 shares at R3.70 post
consolidation).
On 17 February 2010, shareholders approved the consolidation of the share capital of the Company
on the basis of 1 share for every 100 shares held as well as an odd lot offer to repurchase shares at
R4.00 per share post the consolidation.
At a general meeting on 7 June 2010, shareholders approved, inter alia, the acquisition of Bauba,
the share issue for cash, the Houtbosch payment shares and the change in name of the Company
to Bauba Platinum Limited, which resulted in a change in control to Highland.
2.2
Nature of business and prospects

The primary business of Absolute going forward will be:
the exploration and developing of the Bauba Project with the intention of establishing a mine
that produces an initial 350 000 ounces of PGMs per annum in the next 10 years, expanding
production to 1 million ounces per annum within 20 years from the overall resource base;
the pursuit of acquisitive opportunities in the PGM sector which will enhance shareholder value;
and
funding.
111
Bauba Platinum
The Bauba Project consists of prospecting rights over eight farms which are prospective for platinum
mineralisation in the Eastern Bushveld Igneous Complex, encompassing an area of approximately
50km in length and 6km in width along the Leolo mountain range in the Limpopo Province. The
farms cover the down dip extent of several current development projects and operating mines on
the Eastern limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex. The geological location should reveal both
Merensky Reef and UG-2 Chromitite Layer occurrences as extensive exploration programs are
being conducted on the properties neighbouring the Bauba Project.
A targeted resource has been estimated by geologist Stephen Gain (Pr.SciNat Msc) using average
modifying factors from projects and mines on adjacent properties. An estimate of the in situ resource
tonnages on the farms is 700 Mt which could include in excess of 100 m oz Platinum Group Metals
(PGM) metal content. This in situ targeted resource estimation is considered conservative but is
not SAMREC Code compliant.
Bauba has designed a detailed investigative exploration programme that will be initiated by
diamond drilling, geological and geophysical mapping, and sophisticated interpretation of the areas
of interest. The drilling sequence will commence on the Southern Cluster, followed by the Central
and Northern Clusters to determine the mineral resource base and the style of mineralisation. The
drilling programme will extend through to the base of the Bushveld Igneous Complex to establish
the form and style of the PGM mineralisation in the Middle and Lower groups of the Bushveld
Igneous Complex, based on public information from adjacent properties. The programme will focus
on the known mineralisation targets of the Merensky Reef and UG-2 Chromitite.
Results from the initial drilling which commenced in April 2010, will form the basis of the balance
of the drilling programme on the Southern Cluster with the aim of establishing the extent of the
resource, which would be converted to a fully compliant reserve statement to form the basis of the
Bankable Feasibility Study.
Bauba has advised Absolute that they are aware of a review application pending in respect of
two prospecting rights which have already been executed. The Sellers and Absolute have both
obtained an independent view that this application is unlikely to succeed.
Lenopodi Natural Stone
Lenopodi commenced business in the second half of 2003 when it applied for a prospecting permit
and later a mining licence for permission to mine slate, dimension stone and other sedimentary
deposits in the North West Province. Subsequently, Lenopodis subsidiary, Lubtalk Investments,
has secured a mining right to develop a quartzite deposit at the Diamond Quartzite quarry in
Namaqualand. A Competent Persons Report was included in a circular to shareholders dated
22 December 2004, which report ascribed a base valuation of R110 million for the Diamond
Quartzite deposit.
The group, through Lenopodi, has identified an opportunity to enter into the mining and marketing
of natural stone products. Natural stone entails dimension stone (granite, marble and sandstone)
and natural cleft stone (quartzite and slate). This niche segment of mining offers relatively high
returns and has significant job creation capabilities, as it is generally labour intensive. Lenopodi
also offers the opportunity to consolidate medium sized mining operations into the group. To this
extent, granite is specifically excluded from the Lenopodi natural stone portfolio, as the local and
export market is volatile to worldwide colour trends.
Lekkersing Diamond Quartzite Sandstone
As announced on 30 June 2008, Lubtalk entered into a Sale of Business Agreement with Richtersveld
Quartzite and Allied Quartzite to acquire the businesses of these two companies, at a cost of
R1.8 million, which purchase price was settled through the vendor issue of shares in Absolute.
A mining licence from the Department of Minerals & Energy (DME) was initially applied
for in terms of the Minerals Act, subject to the approval of the Environmental Management
Programme Report (EMPR), which was submitted on 15 September 2003. An updated
application was required to be submitted under the new mining order which included a social
responsibility programme, and which was resubmitted in October 2004. The mining rights were
finally registered in the Mineral and Petroleum Titles Registration Office in Pretoria on 27 July 2007.
112
Diamond Quartzite is in essence sandstone, over 800 million years old, the hardness of which
distinguishes it from most quartzite worldwide, hence the reference to diamond in its name.
Diamond Quartzite is a metamorphic high grade assemblage of quartz (96% 98%), micas
(2% 3%) and other metallic minerals in trace. It is a continuous alternate of thick quartzite beds
(ex sand sandstone) and thin micaceous layers (ex silt siltstone), the softening and weathering
of the latter resulting in the natural separation of quartzite slabs (natural cleft stone). The Hilda
formation (quartzite) extends from 20km south of the Steinkopf Port Nolloth road northwards,
past Lekkersing, to the Orange River and represents an almost internationally unique deposit.
Although this type of deposit does occur elsewhere, nowhere else in the world is it of such a high
quality as the Richtersveld deposit (96% 98% quartz content) with associated smooth edges and
parallel bedding.
The formation consists of thinly bedded Flagstone quartzitic sandstone of sufficient strength and
quality to be used for tile manufacturing. The difference between this quartzite and other dimension
stone operations (in massive deposits) is that the bedding of this quartzite is of a suitable thickness
and therefore does not require cutting to obtain the tile thickness required by customers. The only
cutting necessary is that which is required to cut the stone into square shapes. Micaceous bedding
planes separate the beds/layers of quartzite.
Picturestone Sandstone
Lenopodi acquired the entire issued share capital of Niemller Marmer (Eiendoms) Beperk
(Niemller Marmer) on 31 March 2008 for R2 000 000, which purchase price was settled through
the issue of shares for 3 cents per share by Absolute. Niemller Marmer holds a valid mining and
prospecting right over a sandstone deposit in the Northern Cape Province, known as Picturestone.
The company is in the process of finalising the conversion of the mining right to a new order mining
right and operations at the site are planned to commence before the end of the year. The majority
of the product to be mined is earmarked for the export market.
Dikopane Coal
Dikopane has been granted a Prospecting Right over various farms located in the Northern part
of the Free State Province, approximately 26km south-southeast of Sasolburg and 28km north of
Heilbron.
This Prospecting Right has been secured over 14,500ha in the Vereeniging-Sasolburg coalfields.
According to the geological model an estimated 1.4 billion tons (gross in-situ resource tonnage)
of coal is present on the prospecting area. The coal deposit can be classified as an inferred coal
resource with borehole grid spacing in the order of 1 km and a drilling density average of less than
1 borehole per 100 Ha (K Dippenaar: Pr Sci. Nat).
The acquisition of the shareholding in Dikopane presents Absolute with an opportunity to develop a
prospective coal exploration project in line with the Companys stated strategy.
Qinisele Resources
Qinisele Resources is a specialist resources corporate finance boutique focussed on providing
advisory services to companies operating in the mining sector, with a specific emphasis on merger
and acquisition transactions, capital raising and investment advice.
Prospects
To maximise shareholder value, the immediate objectives of the Company are:
to produce a SAMREC compliant resource statement, through the execution of a detailed
investigative exploration programme focussed on the known mineralisation targets of the
Merensky Reef and UG-2 chromatite, initiated by diamond drilling, geological and geophysical
mapping, an interpretation of the areas of interest;
followed by a scoping study and bankable feasibility study.

GENERAL INFORMATION
CURRENT EVENTS, NATURE OF BUSINESS AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
Extract from the directors report for the year ended 30 June 2009
RESULTS
Group Transition
The group has effectively completed its transition to a mining company as the tile retail operation has been
disposed of and the focus will move to the mining activities of the group. As at the date of this report, the
group employs approximately 78 employees most of which are in the mining division and the remainder in
the head office of the Company.
Early stage mining activities commenced at the Diamond Quartzite Quarry in the second quarter of 2008
following the granting of the mining rights, with revenues which have commenced from both local and limited
export sales. A second mining operation has been secured, whereby mining of the Picture Stone deposit
will commence before the end of the next financial year. This mining operation has been delayed due to the
downturn in European economies, the primary markets earmarked for the output from this operation.
Lenopodi
Mining rights for Lekkersing, (held 90% by Lenopodi through Lubtalk Investments (Proprietary) Limited
(Lubtalk), were granted in the first half of last year and preliminary mining activities commenced involving,
inter alia, the rehabilitation of the quarry mining areas and beneficiation factory, the employment of staff and
contractors and the finalisation of agreements with the local authorities. Commencement of development
activities began in the second quarter of this year in order to develop the mining areas for production
build up.
The remaining 10% of Lubtalk is held by Richtersveld Ontwikkelings Maatskappy Beperk, a company
representing over 2,700 residents of the Richtersveld Community in Namaqualand. The effective BEE
shareholding of Lubtalk exceeds 26%, as required by the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development
Act.
Absolute Tiles
Included in the overall loss for the year of R8 million of the Group and reflected as Discontinued Operations
is a loss of R2.3 million which is attributable to the losses incurred by Absolute Tiles in the financial year until
28 February 2009, this being the date of disposal.
Shareholders are also referred to subsequent events below.
124
RIGHTS OFFER
The Company has issued a rights offer circular to raise capital by way of a renounceable rights offer of new
Absolute shares to shareholders on the basis of a subscription price of 6 cents per rights offer share, in the
ratio of one rights offer share for every 4.0016 Absolute shares held. The proceeds of the rights offer have
been applied to the initial mining activities, the retirement of long-term debt as well as the provision of working
capital for the group. Calulo Resources (Proprietary) Limited (Calulo Resources), being the principal BEE
shareholder of the Company, fully underwrote the rights offer.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
The results are more fully set out in the annual financial statements. The accounting policies adopted have
been consistently applied in all material respects, with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS),
the Companies Act of South Africa, No 61 of 1973, as amended, and the Corporate Laws Amendment Act,
No 24 of 2006, and the JSE Listings Requirements. There has been no change to the audited financial
information with regard to any change in accounting policies or in relation to any fundamental error.
GOING CONCERN
The directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis for the preparation of the financial statements.
As is common with many junior mining companies, the Company raises money resources for exploration
and capital projects as and when required. However, the availability of these resources is dependent new
shareholder funding and revenue streams from investments, and there can be no certainty in relation to
these matters. There can be no assurance that the Groups projects will be fully developed in accordance
with current plans or completed on time or to budget. Future work on the development of these projects, the
levels of production and financial returns arising there from may be adversely affected by factors outside the
control of the Group.
ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS
During the year ended 30 June 2009 Absolute acquired a 25.1% interest in Qinisele Resources settled by
means of the issue of 333 333 334 shares at 6 cents in Absolute Holdings Limited.
Shareholders are referred to subsequent events for acquisitions after the year end, being 30 June 2009.
During the year ended 30 June 2009 Absolute disposed of 100% of its shareholding in Absolute Tiles for a
cash consideration of R500 000 effective 1 March 2009.
AUDITORS
TAG Incorporated is the auditor for the holding Company as well as the subsidiaries. The audit committee is
satisfied as to the independence of the auditors.
SPONSOR
The sponsor of the Company is Arcay Moela Sponsors (Proprietary) Limited.
COMPANY SECRETARY
All the directors have access to the advice and services of the company secretary. The board is of the
opinion that the management representing the company secretary has the requisite attributes, experience
and qualifications to fulfil its commitments effectively. Arcay Client Support (Proprietary) Limited remains in
office as company secretary.
SHARE CAPITAL AND ISSUE OF SHARES
The authorised and issued share capital of the Company at 30 June 2009 is set out in note 15 to the financial

125
During the year ended 30 June 2009, the Company issued 214 008 081 new shares in terms of a rights offer

Absolute shares held. The proceeds of the rights offer have been applied to the initial mining activities, the
retirement of long-term debt as well as the provision of working capital for the group. Calulo Resources, being
the principal BEE shareholder of the Company, had fully underwritten the rights offer in order to guarantee
its success. At the Annual General Meeting held on Wednesday 7 November 2008, eligible shareholders
approved a waiver from making a mandatory offer to minority shareholders in accordance with Section 8.7
of the SRP Code, in the event of Calulo Resources shareholding increasing to over 35% of the Companys
share capital as a result of the underwriting of the rights offer.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Issue of shares for cash
In accordance with the general authority to issue shares for cash as approved by shareholders on
10 December 2008, the Company successfully placed 189 135 135 ordinary shares (the placed shares),
equating to 13.47 per cent of the Companys issued share capital, thereby raising approximately R7 million.
In terms of the private placing, the placed shares were issued at a price of R0.037 per ordinary shares, which
equates to a 9.62% discount to the 30-day volume weighted average price of Absolutes shares on the JSE
as at 11 August 2009.
Coal Prospecting right
In addition, African Wilddogs Resources (Proprietary) Limited and Mafatiki Mining Resources (Proprietary)
Limited (the Dikopane shareholders) accepted a binding offer by Absolute to purchase 49% of the issued
share capital in and 49% of the shareholders claims against Dikopane. Dikopane has been granted a
Prospecting Right over various farms located in the Northern part of the Free State Province, approximately
26km south-southeast of Sasolburg and 28km north of Heilbron. This Prospecting Right has been secured
over 14,500 hectares in the Vereeniging Sasolburg coalfields. The acquisition of the shareholding in
Dikopane presents Absolute with an opportunity to develop a prospective coal exploration project in line with
the Companys stated strategy. The acquisition price of R1 million, was settled in equal proportion in cash
and via the issue of 8 333 333 new ordinary shares at 6 cents per share in Absolute.
Limestone Prospecting rights
The Board also announce that the applications submitted by Canyon Springs Investments 116 (Proprietary)
Limited, a subsidiary of Absolute, for prospecting rights for shale/brick clay and limestone in respect of the
following properties has been granted in terms of section 23(1) of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources
Development Act, 2002 (Act 28 of 2002).
The Remhoogte Project, Western Cape This prospecting right area is approximately 868 hectares in
size. Geological interpretations have indicated that the area contains the strike extension of the limestone
horizon mined at the Soutkloof and Vondeling quarries by Pretoria Portland Cement;
The Zoutrivier Project, Western Cape This prospecting right area is approximately 1,971 hectares in
size. The target area was selected on the basis of geological interpretations that shows that the area is
underlain by the same limestone horizon as that already being mined in the Riebeeck West area;
The Brakfontein Project, Western Cape this prospecting right area is situated to the north of the Zoutrivier
Project and is thus also interpreted to contain the extension of the limestone deposit mined at a quarry
near Riebeeck West. This area is approximately 4,023 hectares in size; and
126
The Oude Bosch Kloof Project, Eastern Cape The prospecting right area measures approximately
1,418 hectares. It is understood that the same limestone horizon was mined on the adjoining property
(Loerie Quarry) until recently. Extensive exploration drilling has been done on the Oude Bosch Kloof
limestone deposit in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and it is understood that a limestone deposit (cement
grade) was present on the property.

Basis of preparation and Presentation of Annual Financial Statements

The annual financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following
assets and liabilities which are stated at their fair value: financial instruments and investment property.
Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale are stated at the lower of the carrying amount
and fair value less costs to sell.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts
of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based
on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements in
applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the
financial statements are described in the following notes:
Measurement of depreciation and amortisation of property, plant and equipment;
Measurement of provision for closure and restoration costs;
Determination of fair values.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that
period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future
periods.
The accounting policies are consistent with the previous period and have been applied consistently
by Group entities.
The financial statements are prepared on the going concern as the projected cash flows of the group
are sufficient to meet its continuing obligations for the next 12 months.
In preparing the annual financial statements, management is required to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts represented in the annual financial statements and related
disclosures. Use of available information and the application of judgement is inherent in the formation
of estimates. Actual results in the future could differ from these estimates which may be material to the
annual financial statements. Significant judgement includes:
Trade Receivables
The group assesses its trade receivables for impairment at each balance sheet date. In determining
whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the income statement, the group makes judgements
as to whether there is observable data indicating a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash
flows from a financial asset.
Fair value estimates
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as trading and available-for-sale
securities) is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market prices used
for financial assets held by the group is the current trading prices.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-thecounter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. The group uses the net assets value
method.
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to
approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by
discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the
group for similar financial instruments.
134
Expected manner of realisation of deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided for on the fair value adjustments of investment properties based on the expected
manner of recovery, i.e. sale or use. This manner of recovery affects the rate used to determine the
deferred tax liability.
Taxation
Judgement is required in determining the provision for income taxes due to the complexity of legislation.
There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during
the ordinary course of business. The group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on
estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different
from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred
tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
The group recognises the net future tax benefit related to deferred income tax assets to the extent that
it is probable that the deductible temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future. Assessing
the recoverability of deferred income tax assets requires the group to make significant estimates related
to expectations of future taxable income. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecast cash
flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future
cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the group to realise the net
deferred tax assets recorded at the balance sheet date could be impacted.
Share options-based payments
The group issued equity-settled share-based payments to an employee. Equity-settled share-based
payments are measured at fair value (excluding the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions) at
the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments
is expensed as services are rendered over the vesting period, based on the groups estimate of the
shares that will eventually vest and adjusted for the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions. Fair
value is measured using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The expected life used in the model has
been adjusted, based on managements best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise
restrictions and behavioural considerations.
Rehabilitation obligations
Rehabilitation costs and related accrued liabilities, based on the groups assessment of current
environmental and regulatory requirements, are accrued to reflect the net present value of the estimated
cost of restoring the environmental disturbance that has occurred up to the balance sheet date. The costs
so provided are capitalised as part of mineral assets and depreciated accordingly. Annual increases in
the provision is split between finance costs relating to the change in the net present value of the provision,
inflationary increases in the provision estimate and restoration costs relating to additional environmental
disturbances that have occurred.
Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries are entities, including special purpose entities, controlled by the Group. Control exists
when the Group has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of
an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that
presently are exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries
are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the
date the control ceases.
Intra-group balances and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Business combinations
Acquisition of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the purchase method. The cost
of the business combination is measured as the aggregate of the fair values of assets given, liabilities
incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the group in exchange for control of the
acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination.
135
The acquirees identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for
recognition under IFRS 3, Business Combinations, are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition
date, except for non-current assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in
accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, which are
recognised and measured at fair value less costs to sell.
Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the
excess of the cost of the business combination over the groups interest in the net fair value of the
identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If, after reassessment, the Groups
interest in the net fair value of the acquirees identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities
exceeds the cost of the business combination, the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the
transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet
date are translated into Rands at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange
differences arising on transactions are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities
that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate
at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
that are stated at fair value are translated into Rands at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the
fair value was determined.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments carried on the balance sheet include cash and bank balances, investments,
receivables, trade payables, loans and borrowings. The particular recognition methods adopted are
disclosed in the individual policy statements associated with each item.
Initial recognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the balance sheet when the group becomes
a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
The group classifies financial instruments and their component parts, on initial recognition, as a
financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the
contractual arrangement.
Fair value determination
The fair values of quoted investments are based on current trading prices. If the market for a financial
asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the group establishes fair value by using valuation
techniques. These include the use of recent arms length transactions, reference to other instruments
that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models making
maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity-specific inputs.
Measurement
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The only exception to these financial instruments classified at fair value through profit or loss in which
case these transaction costs are expensed immediately. Subsequent to initial recognition these
instruments are measured as set out below.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits and other short-term
highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value. These are initially and subsequently recorded at fair value.
Trade receivables are classified as loans and receivables and measured at amortised cost. Appropriate
allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in profit or loss when there is objective
evidence that the asset is impaired.
136
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognised subsequently at amortised cost, namely original debt less principal
payments and amortisations, except for derivatives, which are subsequently measured at fair value.
Loans to/(from) group companies
These include loans to subsidiaries and are recognised initially at fair value plus direct transaction
costs.
Subsequently these loans are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
On loans receivable, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence
that it is impaired. The impairment is measured as the difference between the investments carrying
amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate
computed at initial recognition.
Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the investments recoverable
amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject
to the restriction that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed
does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
Derivative instruments
Derivative financial instruments consisting of forward exchange contracts are initially measured at fair
value on the contract date and are re-measured to fair value at subsequent reporting dates. Fair value
is based on the value of equity instruments at balance sheet date.
Gains and losses on subsequent measurement
Gains and losses arising from a change in the fair value of financial instruments that are not part of a
hedging relationship are included in profit or loss in the period in which the change arises.
Gains and losses from measuring the hedging instruments relating to a fair value hedge at fair value
are recognised immediately in net profit or loss.
Gains and losses from re-measuring the hedging instruments relating to a cash flow hedge to fair
value are initially recognised directly in equity. If the hedged firm commitment or forecast transaction
results in the recognition of an asset or liability, the cumulative amount recognised in equity up to the
transaction date is adjusted against the initial measurement of the asset or liability. For other cash flow
hedges, the cumulative amount recognised in equity is included in net profit or loss in the period when
the commitment or forecast transaction affects profit or loss.
Where the hedging instrument or hedge relationship is terminated but the hedged transaction is
still expected to occur, the cumulative unrealised gain or loss at that point remains in equity and is
recognised in accordance with the above policy when the truncation occurs. If the hedged transaction
is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative unrealised gain or loss is recognised in the income
statement immediately.
Trade payables are initially measured at fair value less transaction costs and are subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Bank overdraft and borrowings
Bank overdrafts and borrowing are initially measured at fair value less transaction costs and are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Development costs
Development costs relating to major programmes at a mine are capitalised. Development costs consist
primarily of expenditure to expand the capacity of the mine. Day-to-day mine development costs
to maintain production are expensed as incurred.
137
Initial development and pre-production costs relating to a new ore body, including amortisation,
depreciation and interest on borrowed funds used to develop the ore body, are capitalised until
commissioning of production facilities and commercial levels of production are achieved. This is
evaluated on a quarterly basis and would occur when the mine has achieved breakeven profitability
and is likely to maintain these levels for at least the next quarter.
The Group reviews the carrying amount of mineral assets and development costs when circumstances
suggest the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability is assessed using estimates
of future cash flows on a discounted basis, including revenues, operating costs and future capital
expenditures. Where necessary a reduction in carrying amount is recorded.
Owned assets
Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses (see note 7). Certain items of property, plant and equipment that have been revalued to fair
value on or prior to 1 July 2005, the date of transition to IFRS, are measured on the basis of deemed
cost, being the revalued amount at the date of the revaluation. Thereafter the cost model continued
to be used. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives or
depreciation methods, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment if
they have a cost that is significant in relation to the cost of the remainder of the asset.
Leased assets
Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are
classified as finance leases. Lease payments are accounted for as described in accounting policy
above.
Subsequent costs
The Group recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost
of replacing part of such an item when the cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic
benefits embodied with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured
reliably. All other costs are recognised in profit or loss as an expense as incurred.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of
each part of property, plant and equipment so as to write it down to its residual value. Land is not
depreciated. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Office furniture and equipment
Computer software
Motor vehicles and leasehold improvements
10 years
2 years
5 years
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each year-end.
Intangible assets
Goodwill
All business combinations are accounted for by applying the purchase method. Goodwill represents
amounts arising on acquisition of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. In respect of business
acquisitions that have occurred since 1 January 2003, goodwill represents the difference between the
cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired.
Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cashgenerating units and is tested annually for impairment. In respect of associates, the carrying amount
of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment in the associate.
Any excess of the interest in the net fair value of the acquirees identifiable assets, liabilities and
contingent liabilities over cost arising on an acquisition is recognised immediately directly in profit or
loss.
138
Exploration and evaluation assets

Expenditure related to the acquisition, exploration and development of exploration properties, net of
any recoveries, and including an appropriate allocation of administration costs is capitalised. If an
exploration property is abandoned, continued exploration is not planned in the foreseeable future or
when other events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recovered, the
accumulated costs and expenditures are written-off. Capitalised expenditure relating to exploration
projects represents costs to be charged against income in the future and do not necessarily reflect the
present or future values of the particular projects.
Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation
and impairment losses. Expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands is recognised in
profit or loss as an expense as incurred.
Subsequent costs
Subsequent expenditure on capitalised intangible assets is capitalised only when it increases the
future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is
expensed as incurred.
Amortisation
Amortisation is charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
intangible assets unless such lives are indefinite. Goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite
useful life are automatically tested for impairment at each balance sheet date and whenever there is
an indicator of impairment. Other intangible assets are amortised from the date they are available for
use in the manner intended by management.
The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset is
the gain or loss on disposal of the asset. These gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated
selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling
expenses.
The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average principal and includes expenditure incurred
in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. Where necessary,
provision is made for obsolete, slow-moving and defective inventory.
Consumable stores and materials are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a weighted
average cost basis. Obsolete, redundant and slow-moving inventory is identified and written down to
recoverable amounts/net realisable values.
Natural stone inventories are valued at the lower of average cost of production or net realisable value
if lower. Stock-pile and in-process inventories are valued at the lower of moving average cost of
production and estimated net realisable value. The average cost of production is taken as total cost
incurred on mining, including amortisation costs, and is allocated to inventory on a unit of production
basis.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are
repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Groups cash management are included as a
component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.
Impairment
The carrying amounts of the Groups assets, inventory (see accounting policy) and deferred tax assets
(see accounting policy), are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any
indication of impairment. If such an indication exists, the assets recoverable amount is estimated.
139
For goodwill, assets that have an indefinite useful life and intangible assets that are not yet available
for use, the recoverable amount is estimated at each balance sheet date and whenever there is an
indicator of impairment.
An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating
unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the
carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to cash-generating units (group of units) and then, to reduce
the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
When a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognised directly
in equity and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss that had been
recognised directly in equity is recognised in profit or loss even though the financial asset has not been
derecognised. The amount of the cumulative loss that is recognised in profit or loss is the difference
between the acquisition cost and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset
previously recognised in profit or loss.
Calculation of recoverable amount
The recoverable amount of the Groups investments in held-to-maturity investments and loans and
receivables carried at amortised cost is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash
flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate (i.e., the effective interest rate computed at initial
recognition of these financial assets). Receivables with a short duration are not discounted unless the
effect thereof is material.
The recoverable amount of other assets is the greater of their fair value less costs to sell and value in
use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value
using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and
the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows,
the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Reversals of impairment
An impairment loss in respect of a held-to-maturity investment and loans or receivables carried at
amortised cost is reversed if the subsequent increase in recoverable amount can be related objectively
to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised.
An impairment loss in respect of an investment in an equity instrument classified as available for sale
is not reversed through profit or loss. If the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-forsale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment
loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss shall be reversed, with the amount of the
reversal recognised in profit or loss.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, an impairment
loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed
the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no
impairment loss had been recognised.
Interest-bearing borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any
difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period of the
borrowings on an effective interest basis.
Provisions
A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a present legal or constructive
obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the
expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value
of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
140
Where some or all of the expenditure required to settle a provision is expected to be reimbursed
by another party, the reimbursement is recognised when, and only when, it is virtually certain that
reimbursement will be received if the group settles the obligation. The reimbursement is treated as
a separate asset. The amount recognised for the reimbursement does not exceed the amount of the
provision.
If the group has a contract that is onerous, the present obligation under the contract is recognised and
measured as a provision.
Environmental rehabilitation
Long-term environmental obligations are based on the groups environmental management plans, in
compliance with current environmental and regulatory requirements in the jurisdiction in which the
group operates. Full provision is made based on the estimated cost of restoring the environmental
disturbance that has occurred up to the balance sheet date with a corresponding increase in the
related property, plant and equipment. Increases due to additional environmental disturbances are
capitalised and amortised over the life of the mine.
Annual increases in the provision relating to the change in the provision and inflationary increases are
shown separately in profit or loss, except where the related mine is under development and has not
yet reached commercial levels of production, in which case such adjustment is charged or credited in
the balance sheet to the carrying value of mineral assets.
The estimated costs of rehabilitation is reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate for changes in
legislation or technology.
Annual contributions are made to fund the estimated cost of rehabilitation during and at the end of the
life of the mine. The funds contributed are included under cash and cash equivalents and shown as
restricted cash.
Revenue
Goods sold and services rendered
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions have been satisfied:
the group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
the group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with
ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the group; and
the costs incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably,
revenue associated with the transaction is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the
transaction at the balance sheet date. The outcome of a transaction can be estimated reliably when
all the following conditions are satisfied:
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the group;
the stage of completion of the transaction at the balance sheet date can be measured reliably; and
the costs incurred for the transaction and the costs to complete the transaction can be measured
reliably.
When the outcome of the transaction involving the rendering of services cannot be estimated reliably,
revenue is recognised only to the extent of the expenses recognised that are recoverable.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents the
amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of trade
discounts and volume rebates, and value-added tax.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss as it accrues, using the effective interest method.
141
Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss on the date the groups right to receive payments
is established which, in the case of quoted securities, is usually the ex-dividend date. Where the
income relates to investments in the mining and associated industries, the income is reflected as trade
investment income
The interest expense component of finance lease payments is recognised in profit or loss using the
effective interest rate method.
Expenses
Leases
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental
to ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Operating lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are recognised on the straight-line bases over the term of
the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expenses.
The difference between the amounts recognised as an expense and the contractual payments are
recognised as an operation lease liability. This liability is not discounted.
Any contingent rents are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Finance lease payments
Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the
outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to
produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Income tax
Current tax assets and liabilities
Current tax for current and prior periods is, to the extent unpaid, recognised as a liability. If the amount
already paid in respect of current and prior periods exceeds the amount due for those periods, the
excess is recognised as an asset.
Current tax liabilities/(assets) for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected
to be paid to/(recovered from) the tax authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date
Deferred tax assets and liabilities
A deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except to the extent that the
deferred tax liability arises from:
the initial recognition of goodwill; or
the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which:
is not a business combination; and
at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit/(tax loss).
A deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments
in subsidiaries, except to the extent that both of the following conditions are satisfied:
the parent, investor or venturer is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference;
and
it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
A deferred tax asset is recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can
be utilised, unless the deferred tax asset arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in
a transaction that:
is not a business combination; and
at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit/(tax loss).
142
A deferred tax asset is recognised for all deductible temporary differences arising from investments in
subsidiaries, to the extent that it is probable that:
the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future; and
taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
Tax expenses
Current and deferred taxes are recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss for
the period, except to the extent that the tax arises from:
a transaction or event which is recognised, in the same or a different period, directly in equity; or
a business combination.
Current tax and deferred taxes are changed or credited directly to equity if the tax relates to items that
are credited or charged, in the same or a different period, directly to equity.
Share-based payment expenses
Goods or services received or acquired in a share-based payment transaction are recognised when
the goods or as the services are received. A corresponding increase in equity is recognised if the
goods or services were received in an equity-settled share-based payment transaction. For equitysettled share-based payment transactions, the goods or services received are measured, and the
corresponding increase in equity, directly, at the fair value of the goods or services received, unless
that fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If the share-based payments granted do not vest until the
counterparty completes a specified period of service, company accounts for those services as they
are rendered by the counterparty during the vesting period (or on a straight-line basis over the vesting
period). If the share-based payments vest immediately the services received are recognised in full.
Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations
Immediately before classification as held for sale, the measurement of the assets (and all assets and
liabilities in a disposal group) is brought up-to-date in accordance with applicable IFRSs. Thereafter,
on initial classification as held for sale, non-current assets and disposal groups are recognised at the
lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale are included in profit or loss. The same
applies to gains and losses on subsequent measurement.
A discontinued operation is a component of the Groups business that represents a separate major
line of business or geographical area of operations or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view
to resale.
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the
criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. A disposal group that is to be abandoned may also
qualify.
Share capital and equity
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interest of the asset of an entity after
deducting all of its liabilities.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred, except to the
extent that they are capitalised where they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of a qualifying asset and are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.
Leases
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to
ownership to the lessee. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially
all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the lessee.
Operating segments
A segment is a distinguishable component of the group that is engaged in providing products or
services which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those other segments. The groups
primary format for segment reporting is based on its business activities.

21. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

21.1 Commitments
The following liabilities in terms of mineral leases would arise if the mining licences were granted:
Commitment of a surface lease in accordance with the Richtersveld Municipality. The lease requires:
R5 per hectare per year with a 7% escalation rate.
R10 000 per month for the mining area with a 7% escalation rate.
In terms of the Minerals and Petroleum Resource Development Act, 2002, a responsibility will
become incumbent on Lubtalk Investments (Proprietary) Limited to execute an environmental
management program approved by the Department of Minerals and Energy when mining activities
commence at the Lekkersing Diamond Quartzite mine.
The purpose of the environmental management program will be to rehabilitate the land disturbed
by the mining activities.
As rehabilitation currently takes place during development and a detailed evaluation of the potential
rehabilitation liability has been done by an independent expert who is qualified to do so. This
liability has been accounted for and an amount of R 522 000 provided for in these annual financial
statements. Nedbank Limited has guaranteed an amount of R200 000 to Lubtalk Investments
(Proprietary) Limited for the purposes of the environmental management program. A call account
deposit of R261 708 is included in cash and cash equivalents and serves as collateral for the
guarantee.
22.1 Acquisition of 49% of Dikopane
Subsequent to year-end and in line with Absolutes stated strategy of transforming itself into a
resources exploration and development company, the Company acquired a 49% stake in Dikopane
(Proprietary) Limited for a cash consideration of R500 000 and 8 333 333 shares. This transaction
was effective after year end. Dikopane has been granted a Prospecting Right over various farms
located in the Northern part of the Free State Province, approximately 26km out east of Sasolburg
and 28km north of Heilbron. This Prospecting Right has been secured over 14,500 hectares in
the Vereeniging Sasolburg coalfields. The acquisition of the shareholding in Dikopane presents
Absolute with an opportunity to develop a prospective coal exploration project in line with the
Groups stated strategy.
22.2 Placement of shares
The Company successfully placed 189 135 135 ordinary shares (the placed shares), equating to
13.47 per cent of the Companys issued share capital, thereby raising approximately R7 million. The
Company will apply the proceeds to fund exploration and resource definition on its new coal project
at Sasolburg and the limestone projects in the Eastern and Western Cape.

24. RISKS
The Companys activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: these include market risk (including
interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Companys overall risk
management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise
potential adverse effects on the Companys financial performance.
24.1 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the group will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments.
Whilst the group manages liquidity risk by monitoring cash flows and ensuring that adequate cash
is available or by maintaining or renewing borrowing facilities as appropriate, formal policies and
procedures regarding these risks have not been drawn up.
The group does however manage its borrowings by only dealing with well-established financial
institutions of high credit standing or through enacting secured funding through its direct or indirect
shareholders.

24.2 Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk as it borrows funds at floating interest rates.
The risk is managed by the Group by policies adopted to ensure all its borrowings are at marketrelated rates. The impact of any changes in interest rates would be as follows: Bank overdraft a
2% increase would impact net profit by R60 000 on annual basis.
Shareholders loans a 2% increase would impact net profit by R350 000 on annual basis.
24.3 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial
instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
Financial assets, which potentially subject the Group to concentrations of credit risk, consist
principally of investments, loans, trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents.
Loans are granted to subsidiaries. The loans have no repayment terms however the Group considers
all loan balances to be recoverable and therefore no impairment provision is required.
The Group only deposits cash surpluses with major banks of high quality credit standing.
At balance sheet date the Group had trade receivables and sundry debtors amounting to
R985 000 (2008: R102 000).
158
24.4 Foreign currency risk

The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various
currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US Dollar and the Euro. The Company does not
hedge foreign exchange fluctuations.
At year end the following unhedged and uncovered foreign currency items existed:
Trade receivables Euro 2 940 at R11.0465.
24.5 Fair values
At 30 June 2009 the fair values of all financial instruments are substantially identical to carrying
amounts reflected in the balance sheet.
24.6 Capital management
The board considers working capital management critical to the business, and in doing so, manages
the balance between current and non-current liabilities. However is typical of early stage mining
and exploration companies, they are dependent of funding from shareholders, the certainty of
which cannot be guaranteed.

25.1 Share-based payments

The scheme is intended as an incentive to employees to promote the continued growth of the
Company and its subsidiaries by giving them an opportunity to acquire ordinary shares or rights
therein. The scheme acquires the shares on behalf of the participant at the exercise date and retains
ownership of the shares until such time as the amounts due in terms of the scheme are repaid by
the participant. The scheme may not trade in the Companys securities, 25% of the options vest at
regular intervals commencing three years after them being granted, the balance vesting annual for
the next three years. At the date of the report the scheme has not being registered with the Master
and thus the option referred to below have not being issued although they have vested:

Appendix 2
EXTRACTS FROM THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF BAUBA PLATINUM
The information below has been extracted from the articles of Bauba Platinum:
JOINT HOLDERS OF SHARES
7. Where two or more persons are registered as the holders of any share they shall be deemed to hold
that share jointly, and:
7.1
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these articles, on the death, sequestration, liquidation
or legal disability of any one of such joint holders the remaining joint holders may be recognised,
at the discretion of the directors, as the only persons having title to such share;
7.2
anyone of such joint holders may give effectual receipts for any dividends, bonuses or returns
of capital or other accruals payable to such joint holders;
7.3
only the joint holder whose name stands first in the register shall be entitled to delivery of the
certificate relating to that share, or to receive notices from the Company (and any notice given
to such joint holder shall be deemed to be notice to all the joint holders);
7.4
any one of the joint holders of any share conferring a right to vote may vote either personally
or by proxy at any meeting in respect of such share as if he were solely entitled thereto, and if more
than one of such joint holders is present at any meeting, either personally or by proxy, the joint
holder who tenders a vote and whose name stands in the register before the other joint holders who
are present in person or by proxy shall be entitled to vote in respect of that share.
8. Similarly in the case of joint beneficial owners of an uncertificated share, where it is indicated in the share
register that the beneficial owner has requested to receive notices, then only the joint beneficial owner
whose name stands first in the register shall be entitled to receive notices from the Company (and any
notice given to such joint beneficial owner shall be deemed to be notice to all the joint beneficial owners).
VARIATION OF RIGHTS
35. If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class
(unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may be amended, modified,
varied or cancelled with the consent in writing of the holders of three-fourths of the issued shares
of that class or with the sanction of a resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders
of the shares of that class, and the provisions of Section 199 of the Act shall mutatis mutandis apply
to the said resolution and meeting as if the resolution were a special resolution. To every such separate
general meeting the provisions of these articles relating to general meetings shall mutatis mutandis apply
but so that the necessary quorum, unless the Company has only one member, shall be three persons
holding or representing by proxy at least one-third of all the issued shares of the class, provided that
if a quorum is not so present the meeting shall be adjourned to the fifth business day thereafter and the
members present or represented at the meeting to which the adjournment takes place shall constitute
a quorum.
36. Unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue or by these articles, any right or restriction attached
to all or any class of shares shall be deemed not to be directly or indirectly adversely affected by:
36.1 the creation or issue of any other shares ranking pari passu with (but not in priority to) any such
shares already issued by the Company;
36.2 the cancellation in terms of the Act of any shares of any class in the capital of the Company, other
than the class of shares which is being cancelled.
162
GENERAL MEETINGS
37. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act:
37.1 a general meeting shall be held at such time and place as may be determined by the directors;
37.2 for so long as the shares of the Company are listed on the JSE notices of general or annual general
meetings shall in addition to being sent to members also be:
37.2.1 sent to the JSE at the same time it is sent to the members;
37.2.2 sent to all beneficial owners of uncertificated shares that are not members who have elected
to receive notices, provided that such election has been appropriately recorded in the
Companys register of beneficial owners; and
37.2.3 announced through SENS,
however, any failure to do so shall not affect the validity of any general meeting; and
37.3 the notice of a general meeting shall state the place, day and hour of, and the nature of the business
to be transacted at the general meeting.
38. A member shall be entitled to appoint a proxy to attend, speak and vote (whether on a show of hands
or on a poll) in his stead at any general meeting in accordance with the Act.
PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS
45. Subject to the provisions of the Act, it shall not be necessary to give notice of any adjournment
of a general meeting.
46. Subject to any rights or restriction as to voting, to which any member, or to which any class or classes
of shares, may be subject, a member who is present:
46.1 in person, by authorised representative or by proxy shall have one vote on a show of hands;
46.2 in person, by authorised representative or by proxy shall, on a poll, have that proportion of the total
votes in the Company which the aggregate amount of the nominal value of the shares held by that
member bears to the aggregate of the nominal value of all the shares issued by the Company.
47. The parent or guardian of a minor, and the curator bonis of a lunatic member, and also any person
entitled under the transmission clause to transfer any shares, may vote at any general meeting in respect
thereof in the same manner as if he were the registered holder of those shares: Provided that forty-eight
hours at least before the time of holding the meeting at which he proposes to vote he shall satisfy the
directors that he is such parent, guardian or curator or that he is entitled under the transmission clause to
transfer those shares, or that the directors have previously admitted his right to vote in respect of those
shares. Co-executors of a deceased member in whose name shares stand in the register shall, for the
purpose of this article, be deemed to be joint holders of those shares.
DIRECTORS
63. Subject to the provisions of the Act, unless otherwise determined by a general meeting, the number
of directors shall be not be less than four or more than twenty and the names of the first directors may
be determined in writing by a majority of the subscribers of the memorandum. Until directors are
appointed, whether or not the directors have been named by a majority of the subscribers of the
memorandum every subscriber of the memorandum shall be deemed for all purposes to be a director
of the Company.
64. The directors shall have the power at any time and from time to time to appoint anyone as a director,
either to fill a casual vacancy in the directors or as an additional director, provided that the total number of
directors shall not at any time exceed the maximum number fixed by or in accordance with these articles
and the appointment of any director so appointed shall cease at the conclusion of the next annual general
meeting, unless it is confirmed at that annual general meeting. Notice of such meeting shall be sufficient to
allow nominations to be sent to the Companys office from any part of the Republic of South Africa.
163
65. The continuing directors may act, notwithstanding any vacancy in their number, but if and for so long
as their number is reduced below the minimum number of directors required to act as such for the time
being, the continuing directors may act only to:
65.1 increase the number of directors to the required minimum; or
65.2 summon a general meeting for that purpose, provided that if there is no director able or willing
to act, then any member may convene a general meeting for that purpose.
66. Neither a director nor an alternate director shall be obliged to hold any qualification shares. A director
who is not a member shall be entitled to receive notice of and to attend and speak, but not vote, at any
general meeting of the Company.
67. The Company in a general meeting as such shall determine the remuneration of the directors for their
services from time to time.
68. The directors shall be paid all their travelling, subsistence and other expenses properly and necessarily
incurred by them in and about the execution of their duties in the Company or in and about the business
of the Company, and in attending meetings of the directors or of committees thereof; If any director
is required to perform extra services or to go to reside abroad or otherwise shall be specifically occupied
about the Companys business, or perform services which, in the opinion of the directors, are outside
the scope of the ordinary duties of a director, they shall be entitled to receive such extra remuneration
as is determined by a disinterested quorum of directors, which may be either in addition to or in substitution
for any other remuneration.
69. Subject to the provisions of the Act, a director may be employed in any other capacity in the Company
or as a director or employee of a company controlled by, or itself a subsidiary of, this company, other
than that of auditor of the Company or of any subsidiary company, and that in this event, the terms
of their appointment, remuneration and otherwise in respect of such other office must be determined
by a disinterested quorum of directors, and any remuneration so paid may be in addition to any other
remuneration payable.
BORROWING POWERS OF THE DIRECTORS
75. The directors may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow money and to mortgage or encumber
its undertaking and property or any part thereof (both present and future) and to issue debentures
or debenture stock (whether secured or unsecured), whether outright or as security for any debt, liability
or obligation of the Company or of any third party, as they deem fit.
76. Debentures, debenture stock and other securities may be made assignable, free from any equities
between the Company and the person to whom the same may be issued.
77. Any debentures, debenture stock, bonds or other securities may be issued at par or at a discount
or at a premium, and with any special privileges as to redemption, surrender and drawings, but no special
privileges as to allotment of shares or stock, attending and voting at general meetings, appointment
of directors or otherwise shall be given without the sanction of the Company in general meeting.
78. The directors shall cause a proper register to be kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act

to such charge and such further particulars as the provisions of the Act require.
79. For the purpose of the provisions of article 75, the borrowing powers of the directors shall be unlimited.
164

80. Subject to compliance with the provisions of the Act, a director shall be liable to account to the
Company for any profit or other benefit arising out of any contract entered into by the Company in which
he is directly or indirectly interested.
81. Subject to the provisions of Sections 234 to 241 of the Act, a director shall not vote in respect of any
contract or proposed contract with the Company in which he is interested, or any matter arising there
from, and if he does so vote, his vote shall not be counted: Provided that this article shall not apply where
the Company has only one director.
82. Notwithstanding anything contained in these articles, the Company shall not make any loan to a director

other person if and so far as any such loan, guarantee or provision of security is at any time prohibited
by the Act.

1.6
is given notice, signed by members holding in the aggregate more than 50% of the total voting
rights, on a poll of all members then entitled to vote on a poll, at a general meeting, of the termination

ROTATION OF DIRECTORS
94. The directors shall retire from office in the following manner:
94.1 At the first annual general meeting of the Company all the directors shall retire from office, and at
the annual general meeting in every subsequent year one-third of the directors for the time being, or
if their number is not three or a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not less than one-third,
shall retire from office, provided that:
94.1.1 a managing director and any executive director referred to in article 92 are excluded;
94.1.2 no account shall be taken of any director appointed pursuant to article 92 where such
directors appointment has not been confirmed pursuant to article 92;
94.2 the directors who retire in terms of 94 shall be those who have been longest in office since their last
election, provided that:
94.2.1 if more than one of them were elected a director on the same day, those to retire shall be
determined by lot unless those directors agree otherwise between themselves;
94.2.2 if at any general meeting any director will have held office for three years since his last
election, he shall also retire at such annual general meeting, either as one of the directors to
retire in terms of the foregoing or additionally thereto. The length of time a director has been
in office shall, save in respect of directors appointed or elected in terms of the provisions of
article 92 be computed from the date of his last election or appointment;
165
94.3 any director appointed as such after the conclusion of the Companys preceding annual general
meeting shall retire from office at the conclusion of the annual general meeting held immediately
after his appointment;
94.4 a retiring director shall act as a director throughout the meeting at which he retires;
94.5 a retiring director shall be eligible for re-election, and, if re-elected, shall be deemed not to have
vacated his office;
94.6 the annual general meeting at which a director retires may elect another person to fill the vacated
office, and if it is not so filled the retiring director shall, if he has offered himself for re-election,
be deemed to have been re-elected unless the annual general meeting expressly resolves not to fill
such vacated office or not to re-elect such retiring director;
94.7 no person other than a retiring director shall be eligible for election as a director at any
annual general meeting unless the directors recommend otherwise, or unless not less than
three nor more than twenty-one days before the date appointed for the annual general meeting
a member who is entitled to attend and vote at such annual general meeting shall have lodged
written notice proposing or nominating such person as a director, together with the consent of that
person to be elected as a director.
DIVIDENDS
98. Subject to the provisions of the Statutes:
98.1 The Company may make payments to its members (or any of its members) from time to time.
For the purpose of this article and without detracting from the definition of payment ascribed
to the word in the Act, payment will include any writing off or reduction in the Companys issued
share capital or share premium account in any manner authorised. Provided that capital shall not
be repaid on the basis that it may be called up again.
98.2 The Company in general meeting (subject to obtaining the declaration of the directors referred
to in article 98.8 or the directors, may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid or make
any other payment to the members and to the holders of share warrants (if any) in proportion
to the number of shares held by them in each class. Dividends shall be declared payable
to members recorded in the register on a date subsequent to the date of the declaration of the
dividend or subsequent to the date of confirmation of the dividend, whichever is the later.
98.3 No larger dividend or other payment to members shall be declared by the Company in general
meeting than is recommended by the directors, but the Company in general meeting may declare
a smaller dividend.
98.4 The directors may, before recommending any dividend, set aside out of the profits of the Company
such sums as they think fit as a reserve or reserves, which shall, at the discretion of the directors,
be applicable for any purpose to which the profits of the Company may be properly applied and,
pending such application may, at the like discretion, either be employed in the business of the
Company or be invested in such investments as the directors may from time to time think fit.
The directors may also without placing the same to reserve carry forward any profits that they may
think prudent not to divide.
98.5 Any dividend so declared or other payments approved may be paid either wholly or in part,
by the distribution of specific assets, and in particular of paid up shares or debentures of any
other company, or in cash or in any one or more of such ways as the members in general meeting
or directors may at the time of declaring the dividend or approving the payment determine and
direct, and where any difficulty arises in regard to the distribution, the directors may settle the same
as they think expedient, and in particular may fix the value for distribution of such specific assets
or any part thereof, and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any members upon
the basis of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all parties, and may vest any such
assets in trustees upon such trusts for the persons entitled to the dividend or other payment as may
seem expedient to them.
166
98.6 Unless otherwise determined by the board of directors in respect of any particular dividend
to be declared by the Company, dividends shall not carry interest as against the Company.
Dividends may be declared either free of or subject to the deduction of income tax and any other
tax or duty in respect of which the Company may be chargeable.
98.7 Where any business, property or other asset is acquired by the Company as from a past date on
the terms that the Company shall as from that date take the profits and bear the losses thereof, such
profits or losses, as the case may be, at the discretion of the directors and so far as the Statutes
allow, be credited or debited wholly or in part to the revenue account and in that case the amount so
credited or debited shall so far as the Statutes allow be treated for all purposes as profits or losses
of the Company. Subject as aforesaid, if any shares or securities are acquired by the Company cum
dividend or interest, that dividend or interest may be treated at the discretion of the directors as
revenue and it shall not be obligatory to capitalise the same or any part thereof.
98.8 The declaration of the directors as to whether:
98.8.1 the Company is, or would after the payment be able to pay its debts as they become due
in the ordinary course of business; and
98.8.2 the consolidated assets of the Company, fairly valued, would after the dividend or other
payment not be less than the consolidated liabilities of the Company, shall be conclusive.
98.9 In the case where several persons are registered as joint holders of any share any one of such
persons may give effectual receipts for all dividends and payments in respect of such share.
98.10 Any dividend, interest or other moneys payable to the registered certificated or dematerialised
holder of shares may be paid by cheque, electronically, warrant, coupon or otherwise as the
directors may from time to time determine, and the payment of such cheque or warrant if purporting
to be duly endorsed, or the surrender of any coupon, shall be a good discharge to the Company in
respect thereof.
98.11 Dividends or other payments shall be declared in the currency of the republic. The declaration
of any dividend or other payment may, however, provided that all or any members whose registered
addresses are outside the Republic or who have given written instructions requesting payment
at addresses outside the Republic subject to any Exchange Control Regulations then in force,
be paid in such other currency or currencies as may be stipulated in the declaration. The declaration
may also stipulate the date (hereinafter referred to as the currency conversion date) upon which,
and a provisional rate of exchange at which, the currency of the Republic shall be converted into
such other currency or currencies, provided that the currency conversion date shall be a date not

Appendix 4
CODE OF CORPORATE PRACTICE AND CONDUCT
The board has continued implementing various aspects of compliance with the King Report during the
financial year ended 30 June 2009 and to the last practicable date, as more fully detailed below. The Company
is in the process of reviewing and implementing the new requirements in terms of King III.
THE BOARD
Structure of the board
The Company has a unitary board with an independent non-executive chairman. The directors bring a wide
range of experience, diversity, insight and independence of judgment on issues of strategy, performance
resources and standards of conduct, to the board.
Independence of the board
The roles of the chairman and the chief executive officer are separate. The non-executive directors
do not have service contracts and their remuneration is not tied to the groups performance.
Board responsibilities
The board is responsible for the strategy, acquisition and disinvestment policy, risk management, financing
and corporate governance policies of the Company, is accountable for stakeholder relations, protecting
and enhancing the Companys wealth and resources, timely and transparent reporting and for acting
at all times in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. The board ensures that there
is an appropriate balance of power and authority on the board, such that no one individual or block
of individuals can dominate the boards decision taking.
Appointments to the board
No formal procedure exists for appointment to the board or for the delegation of the functions of the board
and the company does not have a nomination committee at present due to the nature and size of the
Company. Future appointments to the board will, however, be considered by the board as a whole. With the
resignation of the chief executive officer, the chairman and financial director are responsible for reviewing
the content and implementation of the authorised delegation of functions and will report thereon to the board.
Access to company secretary
The directors all have unfettered access to the Company Secretary who, inter alia, is responsible for ensuring
that proper procedures are followed regarding board matters. It requires a decision of the board as a whole
to remove the company Secretary, should this become necessary. directors are furthermore entitled to ask
any questions of any personnel and enjoy unrestricted access to all company documentation, information
and property.
Board and committee meetings and attendance thereof
Directors board packs are prepared and distributed before each board meeting, so as to ensure that
the directors are fully informed of the issues at hand and to give full consideration to all the matters
under discussion.
Two board meetings and three audit committee meetings were held during the financial year ended
30 June 2009. The remuneration committee, although constituted has not formally met as of yet.
171
AUDIT COMMITTEE AND CONTROLS

The board considers the internal controls to safeguard stakeholders interests and the Companys assets.
This function is managed by the Audit Committee, which has been formally constituted and consists
of non-executive directors and is attended by the Company Secretary. The current members of the audit
committee are Messrs Abe Sher (Chairman), Jan Serfontein and Mpho Diale. Pursuant to the approval
of the transactions, the audit committee composition will be reconstituted. The financial director does not sit
on the committee, but is invited to attend its meetings. The committee operates in accordance with written
terms of reference as confirmed by the board, which sets outs its authority and duties. The external auditors
have free access to this committee and are invited to attend all of its meetings, which occur at least twice
per year.
The primary objective of the audit committee is to promote the overall effectiveness of corporate governance
within the group, whilst additional objectives include:
Ensuring the integrity of the Companys accounting and financial reporting systems;
Ensuring that the appropriate systems are in place for monitoring risk, financial controls and compliance
with the law and codes of conduct adopted by the Company;
Satisfying itself with the appropriateness of the expertise and experience of the Financial Director;
Evaluating the effectiveness of the risk-and compliance-management functions of the Company;
Maintaining appropriately transparent relationships with the external auditors, who are appointed each
year based on the recommendations of the committee;
Advising on the appointment of the external auditors with regard to the handling of non-audit functions;
Reviewing the scope and quality of the statutory audit; and
Reporting on the going concern concept.
The audit committee has explicit authority to investigate any matter under its terms of reference and has
access to all resources and information it requires to act on this authority. The audit committee has confirmed
the appropriateness of the expertise and experience of the Financial Director.
INTERNAL AUDIT
The Company does not have an internal audit function in place but the directors are of the opinion that
there is currently no need to establish this function. The external auditors perform a detailed audit of the
records of the group. Once the activities of the group warrant this function, it will be outsourced to a suitably
independent service provider.
SUSTAINABILITY, CORPORATE AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES
The Company believes in the necessity of social development and its innovative involvement in the upliftment
of historically disadvantaged communities is largely based on community-focused initiatives in the areas
in which its mining activities are to take place. To this end the group has directly involved the Richtersveld
community in its Lekkersing mining project which promotes training of employees as well as providing for
social needs such as medical assistance.
The Company seeks to promote a healthy, secure and participative social and working environment with its
staff, business associates and at large. The duty of being a responsible, caring and exemplary corporate
citizen is considered to be an obligation and not a choice.
COMMUNICATION WITH STAKEHOLDERS
The Company is committed to a policy of effective communication and engagement with its stakeholders
on issues of mutual interest. It subscribes to a policy of open, frank and timeous communication with its
stakeholders in its activities on both financial and non-financial matters.
CLOSED AND PROHIBITED PERIODS
The Company enforces a restricted period for dealing in its shares, in terms of which any dealings in shares
by all directors and senior personnel is disallowed by the board from the time that the reporting period has
elapsed to the time that results are released and at any time that the Company is trading under cautionary
announcement or if the directors are in possession of price sensitive information.
172
REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
A remuneration committee consisting of the non-executive directors has been established comprising
Messrs Abe Sher and Jan Serfontein. Pursuant to the approval of the transactions, the composition
of the remuneration committee will be reconstituted. The committee is, inter alia, responsible for making
recommendations to the board, within agreed terms of reference, on the Companys framework of executive
remuneration and its costs. The committee will strive to ensure that levels of remuneration are sufficient
to attract and retain directors and senior management of the calibre required to ensure the successful running
of the Company.
COMPANY SECRETARY
The directors all have unfettered access to the company secretary who, inter alia, is responsible for ensuring
that proper procedures are followed regarding board matters. It requires a decision of the board as a whole
to remove the company secretary, should this become necessary. Directors are furthermore entitled to ask
any questions of any personnel and enjoy unrestricted access to all group documentation, information and
property.
The company secretary is required to provide the members of the board with guidance and advice regarding
their responsibilities, duties and powers and to ensure that the board is aware of all legislation relevant
to or affecting the Company. The company Secretary is required to ensure that the Company complies with
all applicable legislation regarding the affairs of the Company, including the necessary recording of meetings
of the board, board committees and shareholders of the Company.
CODE OF ETHICS
The board subscribes to the highest level of professionalism and integrity in conducting its business and
dealing with all of its stakeholders.
In adhering to its code of ethics, the board is guided by the following broad principles:
Businesses should operate and compete in accordance with the principles of free enterprise;
Free enterprise will be constrained by the observance of relevant legislation and generally accepted
principles regarding ethical behaviour in business;
Ethical behaviour is predicated on the concept of utmost good faith and characterised by integrity,
reliability and a commitment to avoid harm;
Business activities will benefit all participants through a fair exchange of value or satisfaction of needs;
and
Equivalent standards of ethical behaviour are expected from individuals and companies with whom
business is conducted.

2. PROJECT OUTLINE
Absolute has developed a natural stone resource portfolio with
deposits in the Northern Cape and North West Provinces. These are housed
by Lenopodi (Pty) Ltd (Lenopodi), a wholly owned subsidiary of Absolute.
Projects which have been secured by Lenopodi but not yet developed
include a sandstone deposit, known as Picture Stone, near the town of
Vioolsdrif in the Northern Cape. The converted old order mining rights are
owned by Niemoller Marmer Edms Bpk, which Lenopodi acquired in March
2008. Operations are expected to commence in the latter half of 2008. A
marble deposit near the North West town of Taung, known as Taung Marble,
was identified and a new order mining right application was submitted by
Golden Dividend 40 (Pty) Ltd, a subsidiary of Lenopodi, in August 2008.
Currently the project is under care and maintenance.
3. LOCALITY
The Lekkersing quartzite mine is located directly adjacent to the town
Lekkersing on the south western outskirts of the town Lekkersing
(Coordinates 28 59' 58 S, 17 05' 23 E), Northern Cape Province, South
Africa, in an area known as the Richtersveld.
The area is characterised by a mountainous to slightly undulating terrain.
Some minor perennial streams drain the area in a westerly direction south of
the mine site.
The town of Lekkersing lies about 40km northeast of Port Nolloth (see Figure
2) and about 120km northwest of Springbok at an altitude of 350masl and
approximately 35km north of the Steinkopf - Port Nolloth main road. The
mine itself lies directly adjacent to the town on a quartzite ridge. This very
conspicuous north-south trending quartzite ridge, rising in places some
400m above its surroundings is visible in the north from the Steinkopf - Port
Nolloth main road some 20km east of Port Nolloth.
Infrastructure is generally well established, with a good quality tarred and
gravel roads. Lekkersing has no surface water available for mining and
quartzite processing, however, abundant ground water is extracted from the
quartzite aquifer underlying the Lekkersing area. Lekkersing received
Eskom electricity supply in 2000, with power line runs alongside the gravel
road from the junction at the Steinkopf - Port Nolloth road. The Eskom power
is supplied through a 1 MVA line to the town with a 100 kVA supply line
dedicated to the processing factory.
4. LEGAL ASPECTS AND TENURE

Ownership of the land (Portion 5 of the farm The Richtersveld No 11 and
Remainder of Farm The Richtersveld No. 11) on which the Lekkersing
Quartzite mine is located is held by the State in trust on behalf of the
Richtersveld Community through the registered State Title T58935/1996.
The Richtersveld Community won a historic land claim legal case against the
state in 2007 and transfer of the disputed land, including this farm, is
expected to be effected to The Communal Property Association,
representing the community.
The mineral rights to portions of the property (see Table 1 & Figure 2) have
however been granted by the State as 99 year leases, which were ceded to
Lubtalk Investments (Pty) Ltd by Richtersveld Quartzite (Pty) Ltd and Allied
Quartzite (Pty) Ltd. The leases expire in 2066 and 2069. Whilst these leases
are no longer valid in terms of the new mining legislation, it enabled Lubtalk
Investments to apply for a new order mining right from the Department of
Minerals Resources (DMR), in terms of the Mineral and Petroleum
Development Act of 2003.
The mining right, under reference number (NC) 30/5/1/2/2/506 MR, and the
Environmental Management Programme Report, which was submitted on
15 September 2003, was approved and granted in August 2007 on a thirty
(30) year term. The mining right area granted is identical to the old order
leases listed in Table 1 below.

LEGAL ASPECTS AND TENURE (cont...)
comprehensive social and labour plan, as directed by the Mineral and
Petroleum Resources Development Act. The main principles agreed upon
are a R5 per hectare annual surface rental, a monthly rental of R10 000 for
the factory facilities and the outsourcing by the mine of its Human
Resource Management function to representatives of the community for a
fixed fee. A royalty of 1% is payable to the State.

5. GEOLOGICAL SETTING
The Lekkersing quartzite deposits occur in a quartzite horizon, the
Lekkersing Formation, belonging to the Stinkfontein Subgroup of the
Gariep Supergroup. The formation consists of two quartzite horizons
separated and overlain by conglomerate units. Sediments of the
Stinkfontein Subgroup were deposited during the Pre-Cambrian Namibian
era (approximately 900ma years ago) in a shallow marine environment
(see Figure 3).

The Lekkersing area occupies the upper near horizontal limb of a major
regional asymmetric fold verging east. The main fold axis is orientated
north-northeast to south-southwest, gently plunging in a southsouthwesterly direction (Figure 4).

The Lekkersing quartzite is a whitish, laminated micaceous quartzite

which is generally recrystallised, with muscovite mica on the beddingplanes giving the surface an attractive
silvery appearance with a vitreous lustre.
The quartzite is a metamorphic
assemblage of quartz (96-98%), mica (23%) and trace amounts of iron, aluminium
and titanium.
FIGURE 3: GEOLOGY OF THE SOUTHERN RICHTERSVELD

f
The quartzite is made up of well-sorted,

medium to coarse silica grains and is
slightly porous with a high compressive
strength. The high mica content in the
micaceous layers allowed for easy
separation of layers and therefore good
recovery of quartzite slabs at depths
exceeding 30m below surface.
The dominant structural feature that has
significant influence on the mining and
recovery of quartzite is the well-developed
joints present in the quartzite (Cosi, 1994).
Cleavage predominantly follows the
layering of primary sedimentary bedding
planes dipping 35 to 45 on a bearing of
290 west-northwest. In the weathered
zone near the surface, cleavage planes
have been accentuated by weathering and
are particularly enhanced by the
limonitisation along the mica rich layers.

GEOLOGICAL SETTING (cont...)
Good exposures of laminated grey quartzite outcrops occur in the excavations of the main
quarry. Cross bedding layers are relatively even in thickness and display fairly smooth
surfaces. Sterile bands of greywacke approximately 150m wide run north-south across
the flat bedded quartzite.
FIGURE 5: FOLDED QUARTZITE IN THE

AREA SOUTH
OF LEKKERSING.
At Lekkersing the best quality quartzite is obtained from the beds that exhibit bedding with
a pronounced lamination, the planes of which are from approximately 2.5mm to 80mm
apart.
Mica rich layers tend to enhance the cleavability of the quartzite and therefore the recovery
of good quality cleft stone. The uniqueness of the deposit lies in the nature and quality of
the flat-bedded quartzite, traditionally referred to as flagstone.
The quartzite slab exhibits a very uniform thickness and sufficient hardness to allow the
production of high quality natural tiles at a very low cost. These factors render the
Lekkersing quartzite highly suitable for the manufacture of a range of products by the
processing facility on site. Figures 5 to 7 are examples of the quartzite formation.
6. EXPLORATION PROGRAMME AND BUDGET
There is no exploration programme planned for the future. However on-going exploration
will be initiated once the measured mineral resources are near exhaustion. However, for
the operation to be reopened the following capital is required new equipment and working
capital:-

The existing stone cutting equipment currently being utilised is outdated and inefficient. A
complete new set of tile cutting production lines will be installed, over a phased two year
period, as production increases. Materials handling and factory processes will be
improved through the installation of the required workstations and the acquisition of a
forklift.
FIGURE 7: A MASSIVE BENCH OF

FLAGSTONE QUARTZITE AS PART OF THE
MINING FACE IN THE QUARRY.
Heavy earthmoving equipment will improve productivity at the quarries and to this extent a
front-end loader with a hydraulic forklift adapter will be essential. A front-end loader will be
required towards the end of the first year of operation as forecast production increases
toward 180 000 m2 per annum. One tractor and a customised trailer will be purchased
initially and a second tractor will be required in the second year of operation.
A small office and accommodation facility will be upgraded with communications,
computing equipment and furniture. The capex budget forecast would be implemented in
a phased approach over a two year period as and when production volumes increase.
Approximately half of the total budget as indicated in Table 2 will be required initially whilst
the remainder is forecast for the beginning of the second year of operation.
Total working capital funding of approximately ZAR 2.6 million is forecast, which will be
repaid by the end of the first year of operations.

7. KEY ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
Absolute Holdings through its subsidiary Lubtalk Investments (Pty) Ltd,
acquired a cession of the entire old order mineral leases held by
Richtersveld Quartzite (Pty) Ltd and Allied Quartzite (Pty) Ltd. These leases,
valid for another 65 and 62 years respectively, have been consolidated by
these two companies and cover most of the economically exploitable
quartzite resources in the area. Lubtalk Investments applied in April 2004 to
the DMR for a new order quartzite-mining license for Lekkersing, which was
granted and issued in August 2007.

9. MINERAL RESOURCES
The Lekkersing Quartzite deposit is considered to be a mineral
resource, being an occurrence of economic interest in such form,
quality and quantity that there are reasonable and realistic prospects
of quartzite extraction for the market. The location, quantity, grade,
continuity and other geological characteristics of this mineral resource
are known, estimated from specific geological evidence and
knowledge.
Indicated Resource
At Blommyn Quarry, Lekkersing Mine, the quarry and immediate

surroundings was identified by Creo Design and classified into the
following Mineral Resource, for which tonnage, densities, shape,
physical characteristics, and grade were estimated (Table 3):TABLE 3: MINERAL RESOURCES
RESOURCE CATEGORY SURFACE AREA AVE THICKNESS VOLUME

TOTAL

19.38 17,223,000
These parameters were determined from exploration, sampling and

testing of material from locations spaced closely enough to confirm
geological and grade continuity. Figures 8 and 9 show drilled positions
for the deposit.
The method used to estimate volumes of the deposit was a
combination of geostatistical calculations of the historic mining yield
and surface mapping of the deposit. The quartzite outcrop was
surveyed in terms of the surface exposure of the quartzite and in the
case of the indicated resource, the assumption was made that the
quartzite body maintains the same degree of structural deformation
and weathering throughout. Recent boreholes have added additional
confidence to the mineral resource.
For a centralised mining operation in an area with a proven history of
sustainable quartzite production for the market, the Blommyn Quarry
was identified as an area close to the existing processing facility and

with the prospects of a reasonable life-of-mine. A 50m x 50m strike-orientated

borehole grid of twelve drilling positions were laid out and drilled east-southeast of
the existing workings, in order to establish continuity of the quarry deposit with the
aim of declaring a Mineral Resource suitable for a substantial life-of-mine. A
Mineral Resource Statement was prepared on the quartzite deposit at Blommyn
Quarry (part of Lekkersing Mine), using all geological, drilling and mining data
available as at end 2008 in accordance with the SAMREC Code (2008) and
updated to February 2010.

Since the mine is on care and maintenance no Mineral Reserves are
considered in this report.
11. SOURCES OF INFORMATION
Information was supplied to Venmyn by Absolute and included:th

! production statistics (26 May to 28 October 2008); and
! independent CPR on the Exploitation of the Quartzite Deposits at
Lekkersing, Northern Cape, written by Dr. Hattingh (Creo Design).
12. CONCLUSION
The Lekkersing quartzite slabs exhibit a very uniform thickness and
sufficient hardness to allow the production of high quality natural tiles at a
very low cost. These factors render the Lekkersing quartzite highly suitable
for the manufacture of a range of products by the processing facility on site.
While the mine is currently on care-and-maintenance, once working capital
is raised, the operation can be restarted in a very short space of time.

This is an Independent assessment and verification of Absolute's Greenfields Exploration Assets on behalf of
Absolute. Absolute's strategy is to develop its PGE assets as their priority and to package all other mineral
commodities for potential disposal within the next 12 months. It must be noted that the properties described here
have recently been acquired and are at an early stage. Therefore, a full Competent Persons Report per project
would largely result in statements of not applicable or not available and hence this Short Form summary has
been prepared to describe the assets location, basic geology and prospectivity. Absolute intends providing ongoing feedback to its shareholders as geological assessment information becomes available.

GENERAL
Venmyn was requested by Absolute, a company listed on the JSE Limited
(JSE), to prepare an Independent Competent Person and Valuation Report
on Bauba A Hlabirwa Mining Investments (Pty) Limited's (Bauba) Platinum
Group Elements (PGE) mineral properties as well as a Short-Form Report
on other greenfields mineral assets held by Absolute. This is in order for
Absolute to describe its mineral assets in accordance with the JSE Listings
Requirements (the Listings Requirements) and to fulfil the
obligations of the SAMCode.
Venmyn's primary obligation in preparing mineral asset reports in the public
domain is to describe the mineral projects in compliance with the reporting
codes applicable under the jurisdiction in which the company is listed or the
project's geographical location. In this case, the information that can be
presented includes the licences, basic location, limited geology and a
description of prospectivity. Absolute has not yet determined exploration
activities and budgets.
Venmyn's professional advisors and directors are Competent Persons as
defined by the SAMREC Code and the JORC Code. Venmyn's advisors are,
therefore, internationally accredited. They are also members of the

GEOLOGY
Regional Geology
The farms are located in the Vereeniging-Sasolburg Coalfield as shown in Figure 4. According to the 1:250 000
geological map, mudstone and sandstones of the overlying Beaufort Group (Adelaide Subgroup) are found on
surface on Modderkuil1804 and the southeast of Schaapplaats 1789 properties. These are underlain by the
Volksrust Formation of the Permian Ecca Group, a formation with a thickness of approximately 100m in the
Heilbron area. It consists mostly of argillaceous rocks which are found on the surface of the farms Schaapplaats
1789, Modderkuil 1804, Boomplaats 566 and Soetmelksvlei 1791. The Volksrust Formation consists
predominantly of grey to black silty shale, whereas thin siltstone and sandstone lenses/beds, that are frequently
bioturbated, generally occur near the upper and lower boundaries of the succession. This formation is not known
to contain significant coal-bearing strata in the Vereeniging-Sasolburg Coalfield (Kobus Dippenaar, 2009).
The Vryheid Formation underlies the Volkrust Formation and is the main coal-bearing formation. Outcrops occur
in the far north of Schaapplaats 1789. The coal zone in this coalfield is approximately 40m thick and consists of
three coal units;?
the lower coal unit can be separated into at most three benches by sandstone partings. The unit has an
average thickness of 3m;
?
the middle coal unit consists of the No. 2A and 2B Seams and their associate rock layers (resulting in
successions that can each be up to 8m thick). This middle unit, however, is not always split by clastic
partings; and
TABLE 3: VARIATION IN COAL PROPERTIES (AIR-DRY BASIS),
?
the upper coal unit has a thickness of nearly 5m and includes the No

HISTORY
Anglo American Corporation of SA Limited (Anglo), Iscor Limited (Iscor),
Goldfields of South Africa Limited (Goldfields) and Sasol explored for coal in
this area between 1960 and 1985. Despite the drilling that the companies
carried out, no interest was shown in the potential commercial extraction of
the coal and no mining has taken place on the Heilbron farms. Data for the 49
boreholes drilled by Anglo, Iscor, Goldfields and Sasol between 1960 and
1985 was obtained by Absolute from the Council for Geosciences. Figure 6
shows the location of historical boreholes drilled on the Heilbron Farms.
Deposit Type and Mineralisation

The coal mined in the neighbouring mines is predominantly dull while the low
rank coal from Sigma Mine is prone to spontaneous combustion. Table 3
summarises key average qualities of the three coal units in the VereenigingSasolburg Coalfield. The coal units include clastic or argillaceous partings.

Local Geology
Drilling done on the Heilbron Farms (see Figure 6) supports the general
geological description stated in the regional geology section. The borehole
information revealed the following:?
the depth of the coal zone varies between 125m and 270m. The
average for the area being between 180 and 220m in depth for the
coal zone. General stratigraphic columns of the Sigma area suggest
that the roof of the 40m thick coal zone (Coal Marker Seam) occurs
at a depth of roughly 180m;
?
the upper coal unit is situated approximately 20m above the middle
unit. This unit is in close proximity to a prominent dolerite sill of 80 to
100m thickness that is situated above the coal zone. This has
resulted in strata-displacement as well as the coal of the upper unit
having a lower volatile content;
?
the lower and middle coal units are separated by a clastic parting
with a thickness of roughly 5m; and
?
the Vryheid Formation is underlain by basement rocks comprising
diamictites of the Dwyka Group and unidentified volcanic rocks.

Later intrusions in the form of dolerite dykes and sills have disturbed the

this coalfield. Minor faults with maximum displacements of 5m are also
encountered in the region.

th
As At 14 April 2010
Only two mines, the Sigma and New Vaal Collieries, are operating in the
Vereeniging-Sasolburg Coalfield. These mines are situated north of
Absolute's Heilbron Properties and are mining the Vryberg Formation. There
have been attempts to exploit the area immediately north of Schaapplaats
1789, one of the Absolute farms, for its coal content. At this stage, Absolute
intends preparing a new geological model and potential exploration
programme with a budget. Pre-determined decision points will be identified
which will guide the progressive development or cancellation of the work
effort.
PROSPECTIVITY OPINION
The farms fall within an area that is known to contain coal and neighbouring
farms actively mine coal. Only further exploration can reveal if the coal found
by historic exploration could possibly be economically extracted on these
farms. Absolute intends to remodel historical information and prepare a
comprehensive exploration program that should reveal reef thickness, coal
grade, properties and geological losses and the potential to mine the coal.
However, at this early stage, too little information is known to reveal any
potential upside or downside.
ABSOLUTE'S LIMESTONE ASSETS

LOCATION
The four limestone project areas in South Africa
identified are
Western Cape Province;
?
?
Brakfontein (See Figure 10);
?
Remhoogte (See Figure 8);
?
Zout Rivier (See Figure 9);
?
Eastern Cape Province;
?
Oude Bosch Kloof (See Figure 7).
Tables 5 and 6 are prospects co-ordinates. The areas
are mostly agricultural land known for growing grapes,
citrus trees, wheat and some vegetables. Rearing of
animals such as cattle, sheep, goats and horses are
some of the land uses in the area. All the areas are
accessible through national roads and farm roads.
The main topographical features in the Western Cape
are the Swartberg, Koningberg and Piketberg
Mountains. The terrain is undulating, with the nearest
towns being Koninberg and Moorreesberg.
The Oude Bosch Kloof prospect is located in the
Eastern Cape close to the old agricultural town of
Hankey (established in 1826). There are some heritage
sites in the area and there is an old, rehabilitated,
limestone quarry that was closed in 2003. The PPC
Loerie Quarry in the area had been in operation for over
60 years.

Canyon Springs Investments 116 (Pty) Limited, a subsidiary of Absolute,
applied for the prospecting rights on 9th September 2009. The rights are for
the purpose of prospecting Shale/Brick Clay and Limestone and are valid for
a period of 5 years. The prospecting rights are due to expire on 9th December
2014. Table 4 is a tenure summary of the limestone assets.
GEOLOGY
The limestone prospecting rights encompass shale, brick clay as well as
limestone. The information available with regards to the limestone assets is
limited, since the Project is at its early stages of prospecting.
The assets are found in the Cape granites (Malmesbury) and sediments,
which contain Limestone as their main mineral. The ages of the rocks range
between 320 to 500Ma.
HISTORY
The Project is at an early stage of prospecting. No work has been conducted
in this area to the knowledge of Venmyn or Absolute. The only work done so
far on the Project is the Environmental Impact Assessment. Absolute's aim is
to identify, package and dispose of these properties within a 12 month
period.
The farms fall within an area known to host limestone deposits. However,
due to the lack of information on the farms, neither Venmyn nor Absolute can
provide any information to adequately demonstrate any potential upside or
downside.
ABSOLUTE'S VIOOLSDRIFT PICTURE STONE
Due to the extremely hot and arid climate, sheep and goat farming are the
main activities. Lucerne is grown using irrigation water from the Orange
River.

LOCATION
The deposit lies directly south of Vioolsdrift in the South African Province of
the Northern Cape. Vioolsdrift is a small border-post town directly south of
the Orange River. It is located between Cape Town in South Africa and
Windhoek in Namibia. The town is accessed by the National route N7
highway. Figures 11 and 12 show the location of the farms. Vioolsdrift is
within a 10km radius of the Lekkersing Quartzite Mine, which is also owned
by Absolute.

GEOLOGY
The material belongs to the Nama Sedimentary Formation of the Vioolsdrift
Suite of the Namaqualand Metamorphic Complex. The occurrence at
Vioolsdrift is a classic example of a sedimentary outlier, surrounded by rocks
of the much older Nama Group. The Vioolsdrift Picture Stone deposit rests
discordantly on the flat top of a Dwyka limestone horizon. The material is
only found above a certain contour in the Vioolsdrift area (+/-280m) and
varies in depth from 10cm to several metres.
The so-called Picture Stone are metamorphosed light brown siltstone to
fine-grained sandstone which displays decorative wood grain type patterns
throughout the texture of the rock. Figure 13 shows some specimens of the
rock patterns.
The patterns, known as Liesegang bands, form by precipitation of iron
oxides precipitating from groundwater that has permeated the slightly
porous rock after deposition. According to J.G. Botha there are only a few of
these type of deposits in the world and in South Africa none that are nearly as
appealing as the ones directly south of Vioolsdrift, where they mainly occur
as erosion resistant small hilltops within the large Orange River valley.

HISTORY
No information is available on previous work done on these farms. Prospecting has shown
that Picture Stone occurs in the area.
The metamorphosed quartzitic sediments that make up the
Picture Stone are, internationally, a very rare occurrence.
Absolute holds the largest Picture Stone deposit in South
Africa.
Not enough information is known to provide a potential upside or downside to the project.
The area is known to host occurrences of a rare form of Picture Stone that could be
economic if it is present in sufficient volume but further exploration would be needed to
delineate the deposit and the properties of the deposit.

SAMVAL VALUATION
Due to the lack of historical data, a lack of historical expenditure, no committed future exploration budget, no SAMREC Code compliant mineral resources or
reserves, the Project is ascribed a value ZAR0.00.
The Absolute Greenfields projects have no value at this stage. Only if money is available in the future will Absolute consider further exploration and valuation
of the properties. No allowance for future exploration expenditure on the Project has been made as of yet.
COMPLIANCE
These properties are still at the Greenfields stage. To-date, Absolute has only incurred minimal expenditure and the exploration programmes are still to be
designed. At this stage insufficient information is available for the Project upon which to present SAMREC/SAMVAL compliant documentation, and this will be
prepared in the future if exploration is to be undertaken. That information will be reported to shareholders at an appropriate time.
Neither Venmyn nor Absolute can provide additional geological and prospectivity information for the Project in a manner that can adequately demonstrate
potential downside or upside. No value is ascribed to these properties.

CONCLUDING OPINION
These properties are still at the Greenfields stage. To-date, Absolute has only incurred minimal expenditure and the exploration programmes are still to be
designed. At this stage insufficient information is available for the Project upon which to present SAMREC/SAMVAL compliant documentation, and this will be
prepared in the future if exploration is to be undertaken. That information will be reported to shareholders at an appropriate time.
Neither Venmyn nor Absolute can provide additional geological and prospectivity information for the Project in a manner that can adequately demonstrate
potential downside or upside. No value is ascribed to these properties.

22.2.8 Notwithstanding the provisions of clause 21.1, the Trustees may in their sole Discretion
determine by notice in writing, not to enforce the restrictions applicable to the disposal
of the Scheme Shares of that Participant and the Participant or his trustee or executor
or curator may then within 60 (sixty) days from receipt of such notice pay the Share Debt
and dispose of the Scheme Shares as is contemplated in clause 22.
22.2.9 Notwithstanding the provisions of clause 22.2.7, if so determined by the Directors at any
time after an offer to all shareholders of the Company other than to the Participant, to acquire
