		(a) 	
      issue and deliver 36,000,000 Adjustment Consideration
      Shares to the Pelawan Trust, and

	 	 	 
		(b) 	
      issue to the Pelawan Trust warrants for the purchase of
      167,000,000 Adjustment Consideration Shares substantially in the form
      attached as Schedule A hereto (“BEE Warrants”).

	 	 	 
	3. 	
      Pelawan hereby repeats the representations and warranties
      contained in Section 3.01(b), and the acknowledgements contained in
      Section 3.05, of the Share Exchange Agreement as of the date
  hereof.

	 	 	 
	4. 	
      In the event that the Pelawan Trust exercises any BEE
      Warrants, the Pelawan Trust shall, in its sole discretion, be entitled to
      Transfer the number of Adjustment Consideration Shares up to 25% (or such
      greater amount as is required to facilitate the financing of such portion
      of Adjustment Consideration Shares and which is expressly authorised in
      writing by Anooraq, in its sole discretion and by resolution of a
      Disinterested Majority) of the aggregate Adjustment Consideration Shares
      issued pursuant to such exercise (“BEE Bleed Shares”).

	 	 	 
	5. 	
      All proceeds from the Transfer of BEE Bleed Shares shall
      be applied by the Pelawan Trust to support the financing of the exercise
      of the BEE Warrants and reasonable expenses related to such
    exercise.

	 	 	 
	6. 	
      Anooraq shall use its reasonable commercial endeavours to
      assist the Pelawan Trust to Transfer the BEE Bleed Shares.

      In the event that Anooraq undertakes an equity financing
      that either raises an amount of at least $98,400,000 or is undertaken
      pursuant to a Material Transaction (a “Concurrent Financing”), the
      Pelawan Trust shall exercise that number of BEE Warrants that is necessary
      to ensure at minimum that the Statutory Shareholding of Anooraq is
      maintained after the closing of such Concurrent Financing and any Transfer
      of BEE Bleed Shares.

	 	 	 
	8.

      of the exercise of any of the BEE Warrants, up to and including the
      closing date of the Concurrent Financing, the Pelawan Trust may not
      Transfer any such Adjustment Consideration Shares. After the closing date
      of such Concurrent Financing, the Transfer of such Adjustment
      Consideration Shares shall remain subject to the provisions of the Share
      Exchange Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement between Pelawan, Anooraq
      and the Pelawan Trust made as of September 19, 2004 (the “Shareholders
      Agreement”), which provisions are not amended or otherwise affected by
      this Release.

	 	 	 
	9.

      whether known or unknown, relating to any actual or alleged obligation
      which has or may have arisen under Sections 2.01 to 2.06 (both inclusive)
      of the Share Exchange Agreement (all of the foregoing being collectively
      referred to herein as the “Release”).

      between any provisions in this agreement and the Share Exchange Agreement,
      this agreement and the intent of the Parties expressed in this Release
      shall prevail, provided that nothing contained herein shall constitute an
      amendment of the Share Exchange Agreement or the Shareholders
      Agreement.

      The parties will keep both the terms and existence of
      this agreement confidential and will not disclose to any other person
      whatsoever, unless required to do so by law. Anooraq shall distribute a

		(c) 	
      All BEE Warrant Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of
      this BEE Warrant, shall constitute Adjustment Consideration Shares (as
      defined in the Share Exchange Agreement) and are subject to the provisions
      of the Share Exchange Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement, including
      without limitation the lock-up provisions, restrictions on transfer and
      legends provisions (mutatis mutandis on the basis that the BEE
      Warrant Shares shall, until the closing of a Concurrent Financing, be
      deemed to constitute for such purposes Consideration Shares comprising the
      Lockup Shareholding). In addition, in the event that this BEE Warrant is
      exercised before May 1, 2007, the certificates representing the BEE
      Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise shall bear the following
      legends:

	 	 	 
			
      "UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE

      SECURITY BEFORE MAY 1, 2007.”

	 	 	 
			
      and

	 	 	 
			
      "WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL OF THE TSX VENTURE
      EXCHANGE AND COMPLIANCE WITH ALL



4





			
      APPLICABLE SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE SECURITIES
      REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, HYPOTHECATED
      OR OTHERWISE TRADED ON OR THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF THE TSX VENTURE
      EXCHANGE OR OTHERWISE IN CANADA OR TO OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF A CANADIAN
      RESIDENT UNTIL MAY 1, 2007."

	 	 	 
			
      provided that, if at any time, in the opinion of counsel
      to the Company, such legends are no longer necessary or advisable under
      any such securities laws, or the holder of any such legended certificate,
      provides the Company with evidence satisfactory in form and substance to
      the Company (which may include an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
      Company) to the effect that such legends are not required, such legended
      certificate may thereafter be surrendered to the Company in exchange for a
      certificate which does not bear such legend.

	 	 	 
		(d) 	
      This BEE Warrant may not be exercised in the United
      States or by or on behalf of a U.S. person (as that term is defined in
      Regulation S promulgated under the United States Securities Act of 1933,
      as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”)).

	 	 	 
	5. 	
      Partial Exercise: The Holder may
      subscribe for and purchase a number of BEE Warrant Shares less than the
      number the Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to this BEE Warrant
      Certificate. In the event of any such subscription prior to the Expiry
      Time, the Holder shall in addition be entitled to receive, without charge,
      a new BEE Warrant Certificate in respect of the balance of the BEE Warrant
      Shares which the Holder was entitled to subscribe for pursuant to this BEE
      Warrant Certificate and which were then not purchased.

	 	 	 
	6. 	
      No Fractional Common Shares or Warrants:
      Notwithstanding any adjustments provided for in Section 11 hereof or
      otherwise, the Company shall not be required upon the exercise of any BEE
      Warrants to issue fractional BEE Warrant Shares in satisfaction of its
      obligations hereunder and, in any such case, the number of BEE Warrant
      Shares issuable upon the exercise of any BEE Warrants shall be rounded
      down to the nearest whole number.

	 	 	 
	7. 	
      Exchange of BEE Warrant Certificates:
      This BEE Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for BEE Warrant
      Certificates representing in the aggregate the same number of BEE Warrants
      and entitling the Holder thereof to subscribe for and purchase an equal
      aggregate number of BEE Warrant Shares at the same Exercise Price and on
      the same terms as this BEE Warrant Certificate (with or without legends as
      may be appropriate).

	 	 	 
	8. 	
      Not a Shareholder: Nothing in this
      BEE Warrant Certificate or in the holding of a BEE Warrant evidenced
      hereby shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any right or
      interest whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company.

	 	 	 
	9. 	
      No Obligation to Purchase: Nothing
      herein contained or done pursuant hereto shall obligate the Holder to
      subscribe for or the Company to issue any securities except
  those



5




securities in respect of which the
Holder shall have exercised its right to purchase hereunder in the manner
provided herein.

	10. 	
      Covenants:



The Company covenants and agrees that so long as any BEE
Warrants evidenced hereby remain outstanding:

	 	(a) 	
      The Company shall ensure that a sufficient number of BEE
      Warrant Shares are allotted and reserved for issuance upon the due
      exercise of the BEE Warrants; it will cause the BEE Warrant Shares
      subscribed for and purchased in the manner herein provided to be issued
      and delivered as directed; and it will ensure that such BEE Warrant Shares
      shall be issued as fully paid and non-assessable common shares in the
      capital of the Company.

	 	 	 
	 	(b) 	
      The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts
      to preserve and maintain its corporate existence and to ensure that the
      BEE Warrant Shares are listed and posted for trading on the TSX Venture
      Exchange on their date of issue, and continue to be listed and posted for
      trading on either the TSX Venture Exchange or the Toronto Stock Exchange
      and shall comply in all material respects with the applicable rules and
      policies of the relevant exchange.

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
      make all requisite filings under applicable securities legislation
      necessary to remain a reporting issuer not in default in the Canadian
      jurisdictions in which the Company is currently a reporting issuer for a
      minimum period of two years from the date hereof.

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      If the issuance of the BEE Warrant Shares upon the
      exercise of the BEE Warrants requires any filing or registration with or
      approval of any securities regulatory authority or other governmental
      authority or compliance with any other requirement under any law before
      such BEE Warrant Shares may be validly issued (other than the filing of a
      prospectus or similar disclosure document), the Company agrees to use
      commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as may be necessary
      to secure such filing, registration, approval or compliance, as the case
      may be.

	 	 	 
	 	(e) 	
      The Company will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or
      cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, all other acts,
      deeds and assurances in law as may be reasonably required for the better
      accomplishing and effecting of the intentions and provisions of this BEE
      Warrant Certificate.




	11. 	
      Adjustments:

	 	 	 
		(a) 	
      Adjustment: The rights of the holder of this BEE
      Warrant, including the number of BEE Warrant Shares issuable upon the
      exercise of such BEE Warrant, will be adjusted from time to time in the
      events and in the manner provided in, and in accordance with the
      provisions of, this Section.



6





	 	(b) 	
      Share Reorganization: The Exercise Price in effect
      at any date will be subject to adjustment from time to time if and
      whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, the Company shall (A)
      subdivide, redivide or change the outstanding Common Shares into a greater
      number of Common Shares, or (B) consolidate, combine or reduce the
      outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares, then, in
      each such event, the Exercise Price shall, on the record date for such
      event or, if no record date is fixed, the effective date of such event, be
      adjusted so that it will equal the rate determined by multiplying the
      Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date by a fraction, of
      which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding
      on such date before giving effect to such event, and of which the
      denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such
      date after giving effect to such event. Such adjustment shall be made
      successively whenever any such event shall occur. Any such issue of Common
      Shares by way of a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the
      record date for such stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the
      number of outstanding Common Shares under paragraphs 10(b)(i) and (ii)
      hereof.

	 	 	 
	 	(c) 	
      Reclassifications: If and whenever at any time
      during the Adjustment Period, there is (A) any reclassification of or
      amendment to the outstanding Common Shares, any change of the Common
      Shares into other shares or any other reorganization of the Company (other
      than as described in subsection 11(b) hereof), or (B) any consolidation,
      amalgamation, arrangement, merger or other form of business combination of
      the Company with or into any other corporation resulting in any
      reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares, any change of the
      Common Shares into other shares or any other reorganization of the
      Company, then, in each such event, the Holder of this BEE Warrant which is
      thereafter exercised shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept, in
      lieu of the number of BEE Warrant Shares to which such Holder was
      theretofore entitled upon such exercise, the kind and number or amount of
      shares or other securities or property which such Holder would have been
      entitled to receive as a result of such event if, on the effective date
      thereof, such Holder had been the registered holder of the number of BEE
      Warrant Shares to which such Holder was theretofore entitled upon such
      exercise. If necessary as a result of any such event, appropriate
      adjustments will be made in the application of the provisions set forth in
      this subsection with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the
      Holder of this BEE Warrant Certificate to the end that the provisions set
      forth in this subsection will thereafter correspondingly be made
      applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares or
      other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of
      this BEE Warrant. Any such adjustments will be made by and set forth in an
      instrument supplemental hereto approved by the directors, acting
      reasonably, and shall for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an
      appropriate adjustment.

	 	 	 
	 	(d) 	
      If at any time during the Adjustment Period any
      adjustment or readjustment in the Exercise Price shall occur pursuant to
      the provisions of subsection 11(b) or 11(c) of this BEE Warrant
      Certificate, then the number of BEE Warrant Shares



7





			
      purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of the BEE
      Warrants shall be simultaneously adjusted or readjusted, as the case may
      be, by multiplying the number of BEE Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
      exercise of the BEE Warrants, as applicable, immediately prior to such
      adjustment or readjustment by a fraction which shall be the reciprocal of
      the fraction used in the adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise
      Price.

	 	 	 
	12. 	
      Rules Regarding Calculation of Adjustment of
      Exercise Price:

	 	 	 
		(a) 	
      The adjustments provided for in Section 11 are cumulative
      and will, in the case of adjustments to the Exercise Price, be computed to
      the nearest whole BEE Warrant Share and will be made successively whenever
      an event referred to therein occurs, subject to the following subsections
      of this Section 12.

	 	 	 
		(b) 	
      No adjustment in the Exercise Price is required to be
      made unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in the
      prevailing Exercise Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which,
      except for the provisions of this subsection, would otherwise have been
      required to be made, will be carried forward and taken into account in any
      subsequent adjustments.

	 	 	 
		(c) 	
      No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made in
      respect of any event described in Section 11 if the Holder is entitled to
      participate in such event on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as
      if the Holder had exercised this BEE Warrant prior to or on the effective
      date or record date of such event. Any participation by the Holder in an
      event referred to in Section 11 is subject to the prior approval of the
      TSX Venture Exchange.

	 	 	 
		(d) 	
      No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made under
      Section 11 in respect of the issue from time to time of Common Shares
      issuable from time to time as Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course to
      holders of Common Shares who exercise an option or election to receive
      substantially equivalent dividends in Common Shares in lieu of receiving a
      cash dividend.

	 	 	 
		(e) 	
      If at any time a question or dispute arises with respect
      to adjustments provided for in Section 11, such question or dispute will
      be conclusively determined by the auditor of the Company or, if they are
      unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered
      accountants as may be selected by action of the directors of the Company
      and any such determination, subject to regulatory approval and absent
      manifest error, will be binding upon the Company and the Holder. The
      Company will provide such auditor or chartered accountant with access to
      all necessary records of the Company.

	 	 	 
		(f) 	
      In case the Company after the date of issuance of this
      BEE Warrant takes any action affecting the Common Shares, other than
      action described in Section 11, which in the opinion of the board of
      directors of the Company would materially affect the rights of the Holder,
      the Exercise Price will be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such
      time, by action of the directors of the Company in their
  sole



8





	 		
      discretion and by resolution of a Disinterested Majority,
      acting reasonably and in good faith, but subject in all cases to any
      necessary regulatory approval. Failure of the taking of action by the
      directors of the Company so as to provide for an adjustment on or prior to
      the effective date of any action by the Company affecting the Common
      Shares will be conclusive evidence that the board of directors of the
      Company has determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the
      circumstances.

	 	 	 
	 	(g) 	
      If the Company sets a record date to take any action
      referred to in subsections 11(b) or 11(c) and, thereafter and before the
      taking of such action, decides not to implement its plan to take such
      action, then no adjustment in the Exercise Price and number of BEE Warrant
      Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the BEE Warrants will be required
      by reason of the setting of such record date.

	 	 	 
	 	(h) 	
      In the absence of a resolution of the directors of the
      Company fixing a record date for any event which would require any
      adjustment to this BEE Warrant, the Company will be deemed to have fixed
      as the record date therefor the date on which the event is
  effected.

	 	 	 
	 	(i) 	
      As a condition precedent to the taking of any action
      which would require any adjustment to this BEE Warrant, including the
      Exercise Price, the Company shall take any corporate action which may be
      necessary in order that the Company or any successor to the Company or
      successor to the undertaking or assets of the Company have unissued and
      reserved in its authorized capital and may validly and legally issue as
      fully paid and non-assessable all the shares or other securities which the
      Holder is entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof in accordance
      with the provisions hereof.

	 	 	 
	 	(j) 	
      The Company will from time to time, immediately after the
      occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as
      provided in Section 11, forthwith give notice to the Holder specifying the
      event requiring such adjustment or readjustment and the results thereof,
      including the resulting Exercise Price.

	 	 	 
	 	(k) 	
      The Company covenants to and in favour of the Holder that
      so long as this BEE Warrant remains outstanding, it will give notice to
      the Holder of the effective date or of its intention to fix a record date
      for any event referred to in Section 11 whether or not such event gives
      rise to an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number and type of
      securities issuable upon the exercise of the BEE Warrants and, in each
      case, such notice shall specify the particulars of such event and the
      record date and the effective date for such event; provided that the
      Company shall only be required to specify in such notice such particulars
      of such event as have been fixed and determined on the date on which such
      notice is given. Such notice shall be given not less than 14 days in each
      case prior to such applicable record date or effective date.

	 	 	 
	 	(l) 	
      In any case in which this Section shall require that an
      adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for or
      an effective date of an event



9




referred to herein, the Company may
defer, until the occurrence and consummation of such event, issuing to the
Holder of this BEE Warrant, if exercised after such record date or effective
date and before the occurrence and consummation of such event, the additional
BEE Warrant Shares or other securities or property issuable upon such exercise
by reason of the adjustment required by such event, provided, however, that the
Company will deliver to the Holder an appropriate instrument evidencing the
Holder’s right to receive such additional BEE Warrant Shares or other securities
or property upon the occurrence and consummation of such event and the right to
receive any dividend or other distribution in respect of such additional BEE
Warrant Shares or other securities or property declared in favour of the holders
of record of Common Shares or of such other securities or property on or after
the Exercise Date or such later date as the Holder would, but for the provisions
of this subsection, have become the holder of record of such additional BEE
Warrant Shares or of such other securities or property.

	13. 	
      Representation and Warranty: The
      Company hereby represents and warrants with and to the Holder that the
      Company is duly authorized and has the corporate power and authority to
      create and issue this BEE Warrant and the BEE Warrant Shares issuable upon
      the exercise hereof and perform its obligations hereunder and that this
      BEE Warrant represents a valid, legal and binding obligation of the
      Company enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

	 	 
	14. 	
      If Share Transfer Books Closed: The
      Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for BEE Warrant
      Shares while the share transfer books of the Company are properly closed,
      prior to any meeting of shareholders or for the payment of dividends or
      for any other purpose and in the event of the surrender of any BEE Warrant
      in accordance with the provisions hereof and the making of any
      subscription and payment for the BEE Warrant Shares called for thereby
      during any such period delivery of certificates for the BEE Warrant Shares
      may be postponed for a period not exceeding five Business Days after the
      date of the re-opening of said share transfer books provided that any such
      postponement of delivery of certificates shall be without prejudice to the
      right of the Holder, if the Holder has surrendered the same and made
      payment during such period, to receive such certificates for the BEE
      Warrant Shares called for after the share transfer books shall have been
      re-opened.

	 	 
	15. 	
      Lost Certificate: If the BEE Warrant
      Certificate evidencing the BEE Warrants issued hereby becomes stolen,
      lost, mutilated or destroyed the Company may, on such terms as it may in
      its discretion, acting reasonably, impose, issue and countersign a new BEE
      Warrant Certificate of like denomination, tenor and date as the BEE
      Warrant Certificate so stolen, lost, mutilated or destroyed.

	 	 
	16. 	
      Governing Law: This BEE Warrant
      shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
      Province of British Columbia and the laws of Canada applicable therein.
