Update: Fire at Sappi Saiccor Mill

With reference to the fire and subsequent explosion which occurred on a supplier truck delivering liquid oxygen to the Sappi Saiccor Mill in Umkomaas, KwaZulu-Natal, the following update can be provided.

The mopping up and assessment operation has been completed. The damage is limited to the vaporisers (used to turn liquid oxygen into gas usable by the plant) and some peripheral equipment. Replacement equipment is on site and being installed. Work should be completed by Sunday 21 July with phased start-up then reliant on receiving the prerequisite Department of Labour approval.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our suppliers and customers for their understanding during this short interruption. The impact of the event is not material within the quarter.
