GVM SALE
"The Company has reached an agreement with GVM Metals Limited to dispose of its
investment in Baobab for an amount of GBP 2.5 million (+/- R35 million) ("the
disposal consideration"). The sale is subject to Ministerial approval, by no
later than 30 April 2007, in terms of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources
Development Act, 2002. In accordance with IFRS, assets of R1.5 million have been
disclosed as assets held for sale and are carried at cost which is lower than

The board is pleased to announce that all the conditions precedent have been
met, the disposal consideration has been received and the transaction is now
complete.
FURTHER CAUTIONERY
Shareholders are advised that the company is still in negotiations, which if

securities. Accordingly, shareholders are advised to exercise caution when
dealing in Petmin`s securities until a full announcement is made.
