Provisional audited results for the year ended 30 June 2016 and final dividend 
announcement 
 
Cobus Loots, CEO of Pan African Resources commented: "The Pan African Resources 
group delivered an outstanding set of results for the 2016 financial year. 
These results include a year of record gold production and profits and the 
largest dividend payment to date. 
 
Our gold mining operations delivered exceptional results, producing in excess 
of 200,000oz of gold for the financial year. The performance from Evander 
Mines, in particular, demonstrated the potential of the operation, with 
production increasing by 30.8% year-on-year. Results were also assisted by the 
Rand gold price and a full year's production from the Evander tailings 
retreatment plant. 
 
Our robust financial position, well-established cash-generative operations, 
decentralised hands-on management structure and cost-conscious culture 
differentiate us from our peers. These attributes give Pan African Resources a 
competitive advantage for further growth through our project pipeline and also 
position the group to capitalise on potential acquisition opportunities." 
 
Key features reported in South African Rand ('ZAR or R') and Pound Sterling 
('GBP') 
 
Financial key features 
 
  * The group's profit after taxation in ZAR terms increased by 160.2% to 
    R547.0 million (2015: R210.2 million), while in GBP terms, the group's 
    profit after taxation increased by 117.9% to GBP25.5 million (2015: GBP11.7 
    million). 
  * Earnings per share ('EPS') increased by 163.1% to 30.20 cents per share 
    (2015: 11.48 cents per share), while in GBP terms, EPS increased by 120.3% 
    to 1.41 pence per share (2015: 0.64 pence per share). 
  * Group revenue increased by 43.1% to R3,632.8 million (2015: R2,539.4 
    million) as a result of the materially improved operational performance, 
    the higher prevailing effective ZAR gold price and the incorporation of the 
    Uitkomst Colliery ('Uitkomst') revenue. 
  * The Pan African Resources' board of directors ('board') has proposed an 
    increased final dividend of R300 million or approximately GBP16.0 million 
    (2015: R210 million or GBP9.7 million), equating to R0.15438 per share or 
    approximately 0.82338 pence per share (2015: R0.11466 per share or 0.53108 
    pence per share). This dividend is subject to approval at the annual 
    general meeting ('AGM'), which will take place on 25 November 2016. (note 
    1) 
  * The group completed the Shanduka Gold Pty Ltd ('Shanduka Gold') transaction 
    which resulted in the company acquiring an effective 23.8% (post dilution 
    22.5%) of its issued shares on 7 June 2016 for a total consideration of 
    R546.9 million. Shanduka Gold is, from an accounting perspective, deemed to 
    be controlled by Pan African Resources and Shanduka Gold's full 
    shareholding of 436.4 million shares in Pan African Resources will 
    eliminate upon consolidation. Shanduka Gold has been subsequently renamed 
    to PAR Gold Pty Ltd ('PAR Gold').

CEO STATEMENT 
 
The past year has been an exceptionally successful period for Pan African 
Resources and for most of our stakeholders. The group has delivered a year of 
record gold production and profits and successfully concluded the Shanduka Gold 
transaction. This transaction enables the group to preserve and protect its 
black economic empowerment ('BEE') status on an earnings accretive basis. 
Despite maintaining our focus on gold assets, the finalisation of the Uitkomst 
acquisition provides an opportunistic expansion into the coal sector and a 
natural hedge against rising energy prices. The group also benefitted from the 
rising USD gold price and rand depreciation, which factors resulted in a bull 
market in gold at the beginning of 2016.  At the end of the financial year, the 
spot gold price closed at USD1,325/oz - an increase of approximately 25% from 
the prior year end. The combined impact of the group's excellent operating 
performance and favourable economic conditions resulted in an outstanding 
financial performance.  Our share price reflected this positive momentum, with 
a year-end price of R3.75 and 0.19 pence per share. 
 
We continue to acknowledge our shareholders' desire for an attractive cash 
return on their investment.  To this end, the Pan African Resources board is 
pleased to recommend the largest ever dividend payment of R300 million (GBP16.0 
million) for approval at the upcoming AGM.  We have also revisited our dividend 
policy, as detailed below, to provide the market with more certainty on future 
payments and to ensure that our dividend is sustainable. 
 
Notwithstanding the impact of these favourable tailwinds, we continue to be 
mindful that the local and global mining industry remains a challenging 
operating environment. Certain analysts believe the higher gold price should 
not only be attributed to factors such as the market view that interest rates 
will remain at record lows and the recent decision by the United Kingdom ('UK') 
to exit the European Union ('EU'), but also predict a continued period of 
geopolitical uncertainty that could result in increased global instability and 
volatility. Locally, South Africa faces a possible sovereign credit rating 
downgrade to sub-investment grade as well as heightened political tension, 
which could lead to further depreciation in the ZAR. It is therefore vital that 
we remain vigilant and continue to look for opportunities to differentiate 
ourselves and continue to further profitably grow our business and provide 
shareholder returns in the form of dividends and capital appreciation in our 
share. 
 
Safety 
 
Regrettably, we experienced a regression in our group safety accident rates at 
Evander Mines. In particular the lost-time injury frequency rate ('LTIFR') and 
reportable-injury frequency rate ('RIFR') increased. The safety of our people 
is our main concern, and we are actively pursuing measures to reduce injury 
frequency rates by, inter-alia, stepping up management oversight, technological 
enhancements, training and control of safety across all operations. 
 
Safety remains a focus at all our operations and we endeavour to ensure the 
group's culture, behaviour and values align to our safety objectives. However, 
we regret to report that one of our employees, Mr JA Muxhanga, was fatally 
injured at Evander Mines on 26 June 2016 following a tramming accident. Pan 
African Resources' management and board express their sincere condolences to 
the family, friends and colleagues of Mr Muxhanga. 
 
Production highlights and challenges 
 
We are pleased to report the excellent operational performance across our gold 
mining operations. Total gold production was 204,928oz, with Barberton Mines 
contributing 113,281oz and Evander Mines contributing a total of 91,647oz. 
Underground head grades at Barberton Mines improved to 11.0g/t (2015: 10.9g/t), 
while head grades at Evander Mines improved to 5.7g/t (2015: 4.6g/t). We also 
delivered important operational improvements at Evander Mines, with gold sales 
and revenue increasing significantly. In addition, the Evander tailings 
retreatment plant ('ETRP') assisted our production growth by achieving full 
nameplate capacity, producing 18,151oz of gold from tailings and surface 
feedstock material. 
 
Uitkomst produced 87,538 tonnes of coal from its underground operations, and 
acquired 48,564 tonnes of coal for further processing and blending, resulting 
in total coal sold of 136,102 tonnes. 
 
Phoenix Platinum's performance was hampered by the business rescue proceedings 
announced by International Ferro Metals Limited in August 2015 regarding its 
South African subsidiary, International Ferro Metal (SA) Proprietary Limited 
('IFMSA'), as well as the drought and associated water shortages affecting 
re-mining and processing. In terms of a 2010 agreement between Pan African 
Resources and IFMSA, Phoenix Platinum, which is situated on IFMSA property, 
obtained a portion of its feedstock from IFMSA's processing activities, as well 
as electricity, water and other services. In terms of the 2015 business rescue 
proceedings, Samancor Chrome Limited was selected as the successful bidder to 
acquire IFMSA's assets and subsequently nominated its subsidiary, TC Smelters 
Proprietary Limited ('TC Smelters'), as the acquirer of the IFMSA business and 
assets. In July 2016, Pan African Resources reached an agreement with TC 
Smelters, assigning the tailings treatment agreement to TC Smelters. Although 
the agreement does not guarantee current arising feedstock to Phoenix Platinum- 
this will be dependent on the manner in which TC Smelters uses the IFMSA assets 
- it places Phoenix Platinum in a better position where it should be able to 
continue operations under similar conditions to those prior to the business 
rescue proceedings. Further, it ensures that Phoenix´s Platinum operations and 
interests are safeguarded. Phoenix Platinum also has alternative sources of 
feedstock, which are currently being processed. 
 
Wage negotiations successfully concluded 
 
The group successfully concluded its gold wage negotiations during October 
2015, with Barberton Mines securing a two year agreement ending in June 2017 
and Evander Mines securing a three year agreement ending in June 2018. 
 
Mineral reserves and resources 
 
We recognise that, together with our people and infrastructure, our mineral 
reserves and resources are a key asset to the group. In the year under review, 
the group's total gold resources increased by 9.4% to 34.9Moz (2015: 31.9Moz). 
 
The group's mineral resources and reserves are summarised as follows: 
 
-  Gold reserves decreased to 10.0Moz (2015: 10.4Moz), we plan to increase 
these reserves in the next financial year 
 
-  Gold resources increased to 34.9Moz (2015: 31.9Moz) 
 
-  PGE reserves decreased 0.2Moz (2015: 0.5Moz) 
 
-  PGE resources remained at 0.6Moz (2015: 0.6Moz) 
 
-  Coal resources were 23.3Mt 
 
We use what we deem to be a conservative ZAR gold price estimate when modelling 
reserves and resources, and in the current year reserves were modelled at 
R450,000/kg and gold resources at R550,000/kg. 
 
Corporate activity 
 
Shanduka Gold (now PAR Gold) is Pan African Resources' primary BEE shareholder, 
with its sole assets being a 22.5% interest in Pan African Resources' issued 
share capital (post conclusion of the Shanduka Gold transaction) and a notional 
vendor loan of R558 million to its BEE shareholder, the Mabindu Business 
Development Trust ('Mabindu Trust') as at 30 June 2016. Following a merger 
between Shanduka Group Proprietary Limited and the Pembani Group Proprietary 
Limited in December 2015, Pan African Resources engaged with Shanduka Gold 
shareholders and concluded an agreement to assist in preserving the group's BEE 
ownership in a meaningful and mutually beneficial manner by means of an 
acquisition of a material interest in Shanduka Gold. Prior to the transaction 
with Pan African Resources, Shanduka Gold's shareholders were Standard Bank of 
South Africa Limited ('Standard Bank') (16.9%), Jadeite Limited (33.6%) and the 
Mabindu Trust (49.5%). Pan African Resources acquired Standard Bank's 16.9% and 
Jadeite Limited's 33.6% interest in Shanduka Gold for R182.5 million and R364.4 
million, respectively. Approximately 0.6% of the Shanduka Gold shares acquired 
from Jadeite Limited have been retained by Jadeite Limited for sale, at a 
future date, to an independent third party nominated by Pan African Resources. 
Pursuant to the transactions, Pan African Resources acquired a 49.9% direct 
interest in Shanduka Gold but consolidates the full interest in Shanduka Gold 
for accounting purposes. 
 
Pan African Resources assumed effective control of Uitkomst on 31 March 2016 
for a cash purchase consideration of R148 million, which was funded from 
existing debt facilities and internally generated cash flows. The Uitkomst coal 
mine is situated in Utrecht, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa and employs 115 plant 
and administration employees and 326 contractors. It produces approximately 
30,000-35,000 tonnes of saleable coal per month from its underground mining 
operation and has approximately 23.3Mt of coal resources, with an estimated 
life-of-mine of 22 years at current production rates. 
 
Following receipt of a positive high-level economic and technical assessment of 
the Elikhulu tailings retreatment project ('Elikhulu') at Evander Mines, the 
company has mandated DRA Projects (Pty) Limited to complete a definitive 
feasibility study on the project. The results of the study will be available in 
November 2016, at which time shareholders will be appraised. Elikhulu will 
potentially treat slimes at a processing capacity of up to 12 million tonnes 
per annum, at a head grade of 0.29g/t from the Winkelhaak, Leslie and Kinross 
tailings storage facilities. The total mineral resource for Elikhulu is 178.7 
million tonnes at 0.29g/t (1.7M in-situ ounces) with a life-of-operation of 
approximately 14 years and 1.7Moz of contained gold. The project is estimated 
to yield approximately 50,000oz of gold per annum in the initial 8 years of 
production while treating the Kinross and Leslie tailings storage facilities 
and then approximately 38,000oz per annum for the remaining 6 years from 
processing the Winkelhaak tailings storage facility. 
 
The Evander 2010 pay channel is a potentially attractive ore body that runs 
parallel to the Kinross pay channel and is accessible via Evander Mines 7 
Shaft. Harmony Gold historically developed towards the orebody before halting 
all mining operations on 7 Shaft and allowing flooding of the infrastructure to 
18 level. The Evander Mines' 2010 pay channel resources are classified in an 
inferred category and surface drilling is currently underway to improve 
confidence in the resource. The initial results of the drilling programme will 
also be available during November 2016. The 2010 pay channel may offer Evander 
Mines the possibility of establishing a new mine area without having to incur 
the cost of sinking a new shaft from surface. 
 
During the next year we will also investigate further medium- to long-term 
underground production increases from sources such as 9 Shaft and projects such 
as Evander South at Evander Mines. 
 
Outlook 
 
The group is well positioned to increase profitable production through organic 
and acquisitive growth, while continuing to create shareholder value. 
 
In the next year, the key focus areas for the group, from an operational 
perspective, include: 
 
  * Safety and compliance across operations. 
  * Barberton Mines: Renewed focus on creating additional flexibility and 
    efficiencies to improve tonnages mined and gold produced from underground 
    operations. The management team is currently considering options to improve 
    the future tonnage output at Fairview Mines' deeper levels and assessing 
    future exploration targets. 
  * Evander Mines: The operation will continue to invest in development capital 
    expenditure to ensure improved flexibility is achieved to maintain current 
    levels of production. 
  * Phoenix Platinum aims to optimise resources from Elandskraal and Kroondal 
    to maintain and improve production and cash flows. 
  * Uitkomst will focus on ensuring that stable production is maintained and 
    review the possibility of expanding run-of-mine production to 900,000t per 
    annum. 
 
From an internal growth perspective, the following opportunities will be 
prioritised: 
 
  * Finalising the feasibility study on the Elikhulu project and, if the 
    feasibility is successful, progressing towards full-scale production within 
    two years. 
  * Drilling the Evander 2010 pay channel for grade continuity and assessing 
    options to exploit this orebody. 
  * Assessing further growth projects at Evander Mines. 
 
The group will also continue to evaluate acquisitive gold opportunities. Any 
project considered will however be subject to the group's stringent capital 
allocation criteria, which requires any investment to be in a position to 
contribute profitable production ounces within a short- to medium-term 
timeframe and deliver the requisite returns to our shareholders. 
 
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 
 
Exchange rates and their impact on results 
 
All of the group's subsidiaries are incorporated in South Africa and their 
functional currency is ZAR. The group's business is conducted in ZAR and the 
accounting records are maintained in this same currency, with the exception of 
precious metal product sales, which are conducted in USD prior to conversion 
into ZAR. The ongoing review of the operational results by executive management 
and the board is also performed in ZAR. 
 
The group's presentation currency is GBP due to its ultimate holding company, 
Pan African Resources, being incorporated in England and Wales and being 
dual-listed in the UK and South Africa. 
 
In the year under review the average ZAR/GBP exchange rate was R21.45:1 (2015: 
R18.00:1) and the closing ZAR/GBP exchange rate was R19.78:1 
(2015: R19.30:1). The year-on-year change in the average and closing exchange 
rates of 19.2% and 2.5%, respectively, must be taken into account for the 
purposes of translating and comparing year-on-year results. 
 
The group records its revenue from precious metals sales in ZAR, and the 
deterioration in the value of the ZAR/USD exchange rate during the year had a 
compensating effect on the weaker USD metals revenue received. The average ZAR/ 
USD exchange rate was 26.7% weaker at R14.51:1 (2015: R11.45:1). 
 
The commentary below analyses the current and prior period's results. Key 
aspects of the group's ZAR results appear in the body of this commentary and 
have been used as the basis against which its financial performance is 
measured. The gross GBP equivalent figures can be calculated by applying the 
exchange rates as detailed above. 
 
Analysing the group's financial performance 
 
Revenue 
 
The group's revenue, year-on-year, increased by 43.1% to R3,632.8 million 
(2015: R2,539.4 million). The increase was predominantly due to: 
 
 1. Gold ounces sold increased by 16.5% to 204,928oz (2015: 175,857oz). 
 2. The average ZAR gold price received by the group increased by 21.6% to 
    R542,850/kg (2015: R446,274/kg), as a result of the weakening of the ZAR/ 
    USD exchange rate. 
 3. Consolidation of Uitkomst revenue of R98 million, effective from 1 April 
    2016. 
 
The increase in the average ZAR gold price was due to the following movements: 
 
 1. The group realised an average gold price of USD1,164/oz, a decrease of 4.0% 
    from the USD1,212/oz achieved in the prior reporting period. 
 2. The average ZAR/USD exchange rate was 26.7% weaker at R14.51:1 (2015: 
    R11.45:1). 
 
Cost of production and realisation costs 
 
The group's total cost of production increased by 16.8% to R2,321.4 million 
(2015: R1,987.4 million). The group's cost of production incorporated a full 
year's production costs for the ETRP of R154.8 million (2015: R54.1 million), 
and Uitkomst coal production costs of R91.8 million (2015: nil). 
 
Pan African Resources' gold cost of production per the statement of 
comprehensive income increased by 12.3% to R2,155.5 million (2015: R1,919.6 
million) as a result of the following: 
 
  * The group's gold operations salaries and wages increased by 12.5% to R967.7 
    million (2015: R860.1 million), predominately due to: 
      + The increase in salaries and wages following the gold wage agreements 
        of Barberton Mines and Evander Mines. 
      + Higher production incentives following increased productivity at the 
        gold operations. Barberton Mines' production incentives increased by 
        R13.7 million equating to 1.6% of the total year-on-year increase. 
        Evander Mines' production incentives increased by R4.3 million, 
        contributing an additional 0.5% to the labour costs year-on-year 
        increase. 
      + The ETRP salary and wage bill increased by R4.7 million, resulting in 
        an additional 0.6% increase year-on-year following a full a production 
        year. 
  * The group's electricity costs increased by 16.8% to R317.3 million (2015: 
    R271.6 million). The National Energy Regulator of South Africa's approved 
    increases applied to electricity consumption was 12.7% for the year under 
    review. The additional increase was predominantly as a result of the 
    electricity costs associated with the ETRP being in production for the full 
    year, amounting to R9.9 million (2015: R2.1 million). 
  * The ETRP and associated surface feedstock material cost of production was 
    R154.8 million (2015: R54.1 million) following a full year's production (in 
    the prior year the ETRP cost production related to a four month period 
    only). 
 
The gold cost of production excluding ETRP and surface feedstock was well 
controlled and increased by 7.2% to R2,000.7 million (2015: R1,865.5 million). 
 
The group's gold cost of production per kilogramme declined by 3.2% to R338,242 
/kg (2015: R349,410/kg). The decline is attributed to: 
 
  * Gold sold increasing by 16.5% to 204,928/oz (2015: 175,857/oz), resulting 
    in a lower unit cost of production. 
  * Improved head grades mined compared to the previous year, which also 
    impacted the gold sold. 
 
The group's gold all-in sustaining cost of production per kilogram (including 
direct cost of production, royalties, associated corporate costs and overheads 
and sustaining capital expenditure) increased by 0.9% to R405,847/kg (2015: 
R402,221/kg). The group's all-in sustaining costs were primarily impacted by an 
increase in gold production and the improved head grades, compared to the prior 
year. 
 
The all-in gold cost per kilogram (sustaining cost of production and once-off 
expansion capital) declined by 3.5% to R410,206/kg (2015: R425,084/kg), due to 
the increase in gold production and the completion of the ETRP in the prior 
year, which contributed R95.1 million in capital costs to the 2015 cost base. 
 
The PGE cost of production increased by 9.3% to R74.1 million (2015: R67.8 
million), predominately due to: 
 
  * Salaries and wages increasing by 3.1% to R20.2 million (2015: R19.6 
    million). The Phoenix Platinum employee incentives decreased in the current 
    year following lower production levels. 
  * Refining and processing costs increased by 10.8% to R48.3 million (2015: 
    R43.6 million), following additional transporting costs to move tailings 
    material from the Elandskraal/Kroondal tailings sites as well as higher 
    chrome refining costs due to a higher chrome prevalence in the tailings 
    processed. 
  * Electricity costs increased by 13.5% to R4.2 million (2015: R3.7 million). 
 
The groups' realisation costs increased by 65.3% to R20.5 million (2015: R12.4 
million) due to additional refining costs associated with the extraction and 
recovery of gold contained at Evander Mines' processing plants floors. 
 
Depreciation increased by 20.5% to R224.3 million (2015: R186.1 million), 
following increased charges associated with the commissioning of the ETRP and 
Evander Mines' 8 Shaft 25 level development. 
 
Other expenditure and income 
 
Barberton Mines entered into a short-term strategic hedge ('the Cost Collar') 
in July 2015, when the prevailing spot gold price was R440,000/kg, to protect 
its cash flows and the group's annual dividend against severe adverse movements 
in the ZAR gold price. During the current reporting period, the group recorded 
a pre-tax net unrealised mark-to-market fair value loss of R117.6 million on 
the Cost Collar, offset by a realised Cost Collar derivative income of R3.8 
million, resulting in a net pre-tax fair value Cost Collar loss for the year of 
R113.8 million (2015: pre-tax realised Cost Collar derivative income of R44.8 
million). The economic consequence of the mark-to-market fair value adjustment 
is to lock in revenue on 25,000oz of gold production from Barberton Mines at 
R625,000/kg (the closing ZAR gold price at 30 June 2016) for the twelve month 
period commencing 1 October 2016. The group currently only has this gold collar 
derivative in place. 
 
Pan African Resources' share price increased significantly by 108% to R3.75 
from R1.80 during the current reporting period, which resulted in an increase 
in the group's cash settled share option costs. The pre-tax effect of cash 
settled share option costs for the current reporting period amounted to R100.6 
million (2015: pre-tax R6.1 million gain). 
 
The fair value adjustment of the group's rehabilitation liability resulted in 
the liability reducing by R38.2 million (2015: increased by R19.7 million). The 
rehabilitation investment increased by R9.2 million (2015: R33.9 million). 
 
Finance costs decreased to R31.1 million (2015: R44.2 million), following 
improved cash flows generated to reduce net debt during the year. 
 
Profit after tax and headline earnings 
 
Profit after taxation increased by 160.2% to R547.0 million (2015: R210.2 
million) and the corresponding headline earnings increased by 156.1% to R547.1 
million (2015: R213.6 million), primarily impacted by the following: 
 
 1. Revenue increased by R1,093.4 million supported by higher gold production 
    and an increase in the effective ZAR gold price received. 
 2. Cost of production increased by R334.0 million. 
 3. Depreciation increased by R38.2 million following increased charges 
    associated with the commissioning of the ETRP and Evander Mines' 8 Shaft 25 
    level development. 
 4. Other income and expenditure increased by R265.8 million, due to the 
    pre-tax net Cost Collar mark-to-market fair value adjustment of R113.8 
    million (2015: realised cost collar derivative income of R44.8 million), 
    and higher cash settled share option costs linked to the increase in the 
    share price amounting to R100.6 million (2015: R6.1 million gain). 
 5. Royalty costs increased by R30.4 million linked to the increased gold 
    revenues. 
 6. Taxation increased by R102.2 million due to the improved operational 
    performance. 
 
EPS and HEPS 
 
The group's EPS in ZAR increased by 163.1% to 30.20 cents (2015: 11.48 cents). 
The group's HEPS in ZAR increased by 158.8% to 30.20 cents (2015: 11.67 cents). 
The difference between the EPS and HEPS resulted from adjusting the profit 
after taxation for the loss on the disposal of fixed assets and the associated 
impairment on the sale of Auroch Minerals Limited in the prior reporting 
period. Refer to the statement of comprehensive income for the reconciliation 
between EPS and HEPS. 
 
The EPS and HEPS is calculated by applying the group's weighted average number 
of shares to the attributable and headline earnings, which decreased by 1% to 
1,811.4 million shares (2015:1,830.0 million shares). The decrease in shares 
was attributed to eliminating the PAR Gold shares held in Pan African Resources 
with effect from 7 June 2016. 
 
Headline earnings per share is calculated as follows: 
 
                                                        30 June 2016   30 June 2015   30 June 2016   30 June 2015

Taxation 
 
The group's total taxation charge increased by 137.4% to R176.6 million (2015: 
R74.4 million) due to higher gold revenues and improved profit margins. 
 
The taxation charge comprised of: 
 
  * An increase in the current taxation charge of 113.7% to R206.6 million 
    (2015: R96.7 million). 
  * A marginal increase in the deferred taxation income to R30.0 million (2015: 
    R22.3 million). 
 
Historical dividends 
 
The group paid a final dividend of R210 million or GBP9.7 million (2014: R258 
million or GBP14.9 million) on 24 December 2015 relating to the 2015 financial 
year, equating to R0.11466 per share or 0.53 pence per share (2014: R0.14100 
per share or 0.82 pence per share). 
 
Dividend policy 
 
Pan African Resources aspires to pay a regular dividend to shareholders. In 
balancing this cash return to shareholders with the group's strategy of generic 
and acquisitive growth, it believes that a target pay-out ratio of 40% of net 
cash generated from operating activities, after allowing for the cash flow 
impact of sustaining capital, contractual debt repayments and also the cash 
flow impact of once-off items, is appropriate. This measure aligns dividend 
distributions with the cash generation potential of the business. In proposing 
a dividend, the board will also take into account the company's financial 
condition, future prospects, satisfactory solvency and liquidity assessments 
and other factors deemed by the board to be relevant at the time. 
 
Proposed dividend for approval at the AGM 
 
The board has proposed a final dividend of R300 million or approximately 
GBP16.0 million, equating to R0.15438 per share or approximately 0.82338 pence 
per share. This dividend is subject to approval at the AGM, which will take 
place on Friday, 25 November 2016. 
 
Assuming the final dividend is approved by the shareholders, the following 
salient dates would apply: 
 
Currency conversion date               05 December, Monday 
 
Last date to trade on the exchanges    06 December, Tuesday 
 
Ex-Dividend date on the JSE            07 December, 
                                       Wednesday 
 
Ex-Dividend date on the LSE            08 December, Thursday 
 
Record date                            09 December, Friday 
 
Payment date                           22 December, Thursday 
 
The GBP proposed final dividend was calculated based on 1,943,206,554 total 
shares in issue and an illustrative exchange rate of R18.75:1. Shareholders on 
the London register should note that a revised exchange rate will be 
communicated prior to approval at the AGM. 
 
No transfers between the Johannesburg and London registers between the 
commencement of trading on Monday, 5 December 2016 and close of business on 
Friday, 9 December 2016 will be permitted. 
 
No shares may be dematerialised or rematerialised between Wednesday, 7 December 
2016 and Friday, 9 December 2016, both days inclusive. 
 
The South African dividends tax rate is fifteen percent per ordinary share for 
shareholders who are liable to pay the dividends tax, resulting in a net 
dividend of R0.13123 per share for these shareholders. Foreign investors may 
qualify for a lower dividend tax rate, subject to completing a dividend tax 
declaration and submitting it to Computershare Limited or Capita Plc who manage 
the SA and UK register, respectively. The company's South African income tax 
reference number is 9154588173 and it has 1,943,206,554 shares currently in 
issue. 
 
Debt facilities 
 
The group's net debt increased marginally to R339.6 million (2015: R321.1 
million) following the dividend payment of R210 million, the Uitkomst 
acquisition of R148 million and the cash funded portion of the Shanduka Gold 
transaction of R182.5 million.

    million). 
  * The conclusion of the Shanduka Gold transaction for R546.9 million (2015: 
    nil). 
  * The net cash consideration of R120 million for the acquisition of Uitkomst, 
    being the purchase consideration of R148 million less cash acquired of R28 
    million on 31 March 2016. 
 
Net cash flows from financing activities increased to R375.9 million (2015: 
R233.4 million), predominately due to:

Review of Evander Mines 
 
Safety 
 
-  The operation reported one fatality detailed above in the CEO statement 
(2015: nil). 
 
-  TRIFR increased to 14.18 (2015: 6.87). 
 
-  LTIFR increased to 4.96 (2015: 2.66). 
 
-  RIFR increased to 3.31 (2015: 1.54). 
 
Operational performance 
 
-  Underground head grade improved to 5.7g/t (2015: 4.6g/t), principally due to 
establishing mining on 8 Shaft's new 25 level. 
 
-  Gold sold increased substantially by 30.8% to 91,647oz (2015: 70,081oz), 
primarily due to improved production associated with an increase in tonnages 
mined and head grades. 
 
-  Revenue increased by 58.3% to R1,538.3 million (2015: R972.0 million) as a 
result of improved gold production and an increase in the effective ZAR gold 
price. 
 
-  The ETRP produced 18,151oz (2015: 16,336oz), following an increase in gold 
produced from tailings to 6,724oz (2015: 2,494oz) and surface feedstock 
contributing 11,427oz (2015: 13,842oz). 
 
-  Cash costs per kilogramme decreased by 9.8% to R411,168/kg (2015: R455,896/ 
kg), and in USD terms the cash cost per ounce decreased to USD881/oz (2015:USD 
1,238/oz), due to additional gold production from the ETRP and higher grades 
mined at 8 Shaft. 
 
-  All-in sustaining cost per kilogramme decreased by 6.1% to R477,044/kg 
(2015: R507,980/kg), and in USD terms the all-in sustaining cost per ounce 
decreased to USD1,023/oz (2015:USD1,380/oz), in line with the decrease in cash 
costs. 
 
-  All-in cost per kilogramme decreased by 14.1% to R479,145/kg (2015: R557,553 
/kg), and in USD terms the all-in cost per ounce decreased to USD1,027/oz 
(2015:USD1,515/oz), in addition to the factors detailed above, the prior year 
included once-off ETRP expansionary capital of R95.1 million during the prior 
reporting period. 
 
-  Adjusted EBITDA increased to R357.7 million (2015: R47.4 million). 
 
-  Capital expenditure decreased to R153.8 million (2015: R238.2 million) 
summarised in the following categories: 
 
-  Sustaining development capital expenditure was R118.4 million (2015: R104.4 
million). 
 
-  Sustaining maintenance capital expenditure was R29.4 million (2015: R38.7 
million). 
 
-  Once-off expansion capital expenditure was R6.0 million (2015 R95.1 
million), relating to development costs associated with 8 Shafts' 26 level in 
the current financial year and the completion of the ETRP, which contributed 
R95.1 million in capital costs to the 2015 cost base. 
 
-  On 1 July 2015, Evander Mines implemented an employee share ownership 
programme, which is similar to the scheme implemented at Barberton Mines in 
June 2015. A newly established employee trust acquired 5% of the issued share 
capital of Evander Mines. 
 
-  Effective from 1 July 2016, the life-of-mine of 8 Shaft and the ETRP 
remained at 16 years (2015: 16 years). 
 
Review of Phoenix Platinum 
 
Safety 
 
No safety incidents were reported during the financial year. 
 
Operational performance 
 
-  Phoenix Platinum's profitability was negatively impacted during the 
reporting period due to a curtailment in current arisings from IFMSA Lesedi 
mine, following the initiation of business rescue proceedings by IFMSA. 
Tonnages processed were also adversely impacted by the drought and associated 
water shortages affecting re-mining and processing. 
 
-  Phoenix Platinum's loss after taxation was R9.6 million (2015: R12.3 million 
profit after taxation). 
 
-  PGE production decreased by 18.6% to 8,339oz (2015: 10,245oz). 
 
-  Revenue decreased by 24.1% to R74.7 million (2015: R98.4 million) due to 
lower tonnages processed as result of the operational challenges highlighted 
above and the lower effective PGE net revenue price received of R8,952/oz 
(2015: R9,603/oz). 
 
-  The average PGE net revenue price received decreased by 6.8% to R8,952/oz 
(2015: R9,603/oz), and in USD terms the average PGE net revenue per ounce 
decreased to USD617/oz (2015: USD839/oz). 
 
-  Cost per tonne increased by 15.1% to R298/t (2015: R259/t), mainly due to 
tonnages processed decreasing by 5.0% to 248,981t (2015: 262,119t). 
 
-  Cost per ounce of production increased by 34.3% to R8,890/oz (2015: R6,621/ 
oz), and in USD terms the cost per ounce increased to USD613/oz (2015: USD578/ 
oz). 
 
-  Adjusted EBITDA decreased to a loss of R4.8 million (2015: R27.7 million). 
 
-  Capital expenditure incurred was R6.8 million (2015: R0.6 million). 
 
-  Effective from 1 July 2016 the life-of-operation decreased to 9 years (2015: 
28 years) as a result of taking into account surface material available to 
process, excluding current arisings.

FAIR VALUE INSTRUMENTS 
 
Financial instruments that are measured at fair value grouped into levels 1 to 
3 based on the extent to which fair value is observable. 
 
The levels are classified as follows: 
 
Level 1 - fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical 
financial assets or liabilities; 
Level 2 - fair value is determined using inputs other than quoted prices 
included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability; and 
Level 3 - fair value is determined on inputs not based on observable market 
data. 
 
Level 1 financial instruments: 
 
The group's rehabilitation trust funds are valued at R321.5 million (2015: 
R312.3 million) or GBP16.3 million (2015: GBP16.2 million), which comprise of 
investments in guaranteed equity-linked notes, government bonds and equities, 
according to quoted prices in an active market. 
 
During the prior financial year, the company purchased 1,750,850 shares for 
R18.9 million (GBP1 million) in a listed available-for-sale investment. The 
investment is valued according to quoted prices in an active market currently 
valued at R25.1 million (GBP1.3 million). 
 
Level 2 financial instruments: 
 
During the financial period, the company entered into a Cost Collar derivative 
with a financial institution. At the end of the period under review the 
financial instrument was not closed out and settled, therefore resulting in a 
financial exposure to be fair value on a mark-to-market basis. The financial 
instrument was valued according to quoted prices in an active market resulting 
in a Cost Collar mark-to-market liability of R117.6 million (2015: Nil). 
 
The group's cash settled share option liability which is valued on a 
mark-to-market basis according to the Pan African Resources quoted share price 
amounted to R104.0 million (2015: R23.7 million). 
 
Level 3 financial instruments: 
 
The group's ESOP liability is accounted on a cash settled share option basis 
and valued on a mark-to-market on the net present value of the discounted 
future cash flows applicable to the beneficiaries to the schemes. The ESOP 
liability was R5.6 million (2015: R0.2 million). 
 
BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
 
Investors should consider non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles 
('non-GAAP') financial measures shown in this provisional announcement in 
addition to, and not as a substitute for or as superior to, measures of 
financial performance reported in accordance with International Financial 
Reporting Standards ('IFRS'). The IFRS results reflect all items that affect 
reported performance and therefore it is important to consider the IFRS 
measures alongside the non-GAAP measures. 
 
The provisional announcement has been prepared using accounting policies that 
comply with the IFRS adopted by the European Union and South Africa, which are 
consistent with those applied in the financial statements for the prior years 
ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014. 
 
The provisional audited results announcement is only a summary of the 
information in the Integrated Report and does not contain full or complete 
details. Any investment decision by investors and/or shareholders should be 
based on consideration of the final Integrated Report to be published on SENS 
and the company's website as a whole. 
 
JSE LIMITED LISTING 
 
The company has a dual primary listing on JSE Limited ('JSE') in South Africa 
and the AIM market ('AIM') of the London Stock Exchange ('LSE'). 
 
This provisional announcement has been prepared in accordance with the 
framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of IFRS and 
SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practice Committee 
and the Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards 
Council, and the minimum information as required by International Accounting 
Standards 34: Interim Financial Reporting. 
 
The group's South African external auditors, Deloitte & Touche, have issued 
their opinions on the group's consolidated financial statements and the 
provisional summarised consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 
June 2016. The audits were for both the summarised and full set of financial 
statements conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. 
Deloitte & Touche have expressed unmodified opinions on the group's 
consolidated financial statements and the provisional summarised consolidated 
financial statements.  The copies of their audit reports are available for 
inspection at the company's registered office.  Any reference to future 
financial performance included in this provisional report has not been reviewed 
or reported on by the group's South African external auditors. 
 
The auditor's report does not necessarily report on all of the information 
contained in this announcement/financial results. Shareholders are therefore 
advised that in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the 
auditor's engagement they should obtain a copy of that report, together with 
the accompanying financial information, from the company's registered office. 
 
These provisional summarised consolidated financial statements are extracted 
from the audited group consolidated financial statements. The directors take 
full responsibility for the preparation of the provisional summarised audited 
results and confirm that the financial information and related commentary has 
been correctly extracted from the underlying group consolidated financial 
statements. 
 
AIM LISTING 
 
The financial information for the year ended 30 June 2016 does not constitute 
statutory accounts as defined in sections 435(1) and 435(2) of the UK Companies 
Act 2006 ('Companies Act 2006') but has been derived from those accounts. 
Statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2015 have been delivered to the 
Registrar of Companies and those for 2016 will be delivered following the 
company's AGM. Deloitte LLP, the external auditor registered in the UK, have 
reported on these accounts for the year ended 30 June 2016.  Their report was 
unqualified, did not include a reference to any matters to which auditors draw 
attention by way of emphasis of matter and did not contain a statement under 
section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006. These statutory accounts 
have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and IFRS Interpretations Committee 
interpretations adopted for use by the EU, with those parts of the UK Companies 
Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. 
 
DIRECTORSHIP CHANGES AND DEALINGS 
 
No changes took place during the year and there were no director dealings in 
securities during the period under review. 
 
SHARES ISSUED 
 
On 3 June 2016 Pan African Resources issued 111,711,791 shares for R339.8 
million to fund the Shanduka Gold transaction. 
 
GOING CONCERN 
 
The board confirms that the business is a going concern and that it has 
reviewed the group's working capital requirements in conjunction with its 
future funding capabilities for at least the next 12 months and has found them 
to be adequate. The group has a R800 million revolving credit facility from a 
consortium of South African banks (and a two year accordion option, subject to 
the bank's credit committee approval, for an additional R300 million facility), 
as well as access to general banking facilities of R100 million. At 30 June 
2016 the group had borrowing capacity on the revolving credit facility and 
general banking facilities of R490 million (GBP24.8 million) and R50 million 
(GBP2.5 million), respectively, to assist in funding working capital 
requirements. On 1 July 2016 the group finalised the general banking facility 
of R85 million (GBP4.3 million) for Uitkomst.  Management is not aware of any 
material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt on the group's ability 
to continue as a going concern. Should the need arise the group can cease 
discretionary exploration and certain capital expenditure activities to 
conserve cash on the short to medium term. 
 
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD 
 
No material events occurred after the reporting period.
