Published March 2005 for period

| Boundaries of report and any specific limitations
on the scope |
Kumbas non-financial reporting is currently
limited to southern African operations. It does not include
the heavy minerals operations of Ticor Limited in Australia
nor the base metals operations of Chifeng Zinc Smelter
in China. Reporting is in English only, given that this
language accommodates the majority of Kumbas stakeholders. |
| Significant changes in size,
structure, ownership or products/services since previous report |
In October 2005, Kumba announced that it will
be split into two companies: Kumba Iron Ore and Newco
(p16). Kumbas approach
to sustainable development reporting is aligned with those adopted
by its major shareholder Anglo American plc. |
| Basis for reporting on joint
ventures, partially-owned subsidiaries, leased facilities,
outsourced operations and other situations that can significantly
affect comparability from period to period and/or between
reporting organisations |
