NOTES:
The Lily open pit mine continues to perform at better than expected levels of 
contribution and the problems with metallurgical recovery at the TGME 
underground mine were largely resolved in the last quarter of the financial 
year. Losses for the year have, for the second consecutive year, been reduced 
and profitability was restored in the last quarter of the year in line with 
expectations. Despite these improvements, the company remains dependant upon the
financial support of its controlling shareholder.

These results have been reviewed by the company's auditors and have been 
prepared applying accounting policies consistent with the previous year which 
comply with South African Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
