1. INVITATION TO TENDER

You are hereby invited to submit a tender for the creating fire breaks along
Foskor mine perimeter fences. This document describes the Scope of Work for
all required work for the project.

2. SCOPE BACKGROUND

Currently, the mine has a High-Risk area where security perimeter fencing is
infested with vegetation which will contribute to veld fire spread should there be
an outbreak within or beyond our perimeter fencing. This may endanger the lives
of employees, endangers the fauna and flora, and result in property loss within
Foskor Mine.

The vegetation clearance will work as an advantage for the patrolling security
team during their routine patrols. The perimeter fence stretches for about 45 KM.
