RESULTS OF GENERAL MEETING OF EMPEROR MINES LIMITED ("EMPEROR")
Further to the latest announcement released on SENS on 27 July 2007 regarding
the disposal by Emperor, a subsidiary of DRDGOLD, of its indirect 20% interest
in the Porgera Joint Venture to a subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation
("Barrick") for a purchase consideration of US$250 million ("the disposal")
and the grant of an option to Barrick or its nominee to subscribe for 153 325
943 shares in Emperor ("the option"), and the announcement released on SENS on
20 June 2007 which advised of the intention of Emperor to return A$0.05 per
Emperor share to Emperor shareholders by way of a capital return out of the
surplus cash to be realised from the disposal ("the capital distribution"),
DRDGOLD shareholders are advised that, at the general meeting of Emperor
shareholders held today, all the resolutions relating to the disposal and the
capital distribution, as well as the appointment of Messrs Ian McMaster and
John Sayers to the board of Emperor, were passed by the requisite majorities
of votes. The disposal is therefore now unconditional.
