TRADING STATEMENT
Good Hope is currently finalising its preliminary results for the year ended 30
June 2008 ("the reporting period").
In terms of Section 3.4(b) of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited,
relating to Trading Statements, a listed company is required to publish a
trading statement as soon as it is satisfied that a reasonable degree of
certainty exists that the financial results for the next period to be reported
on will differ by at least 20% or more from those of the previous corresponding
period.
Shareholders are advised that Good Hope will be reporting a loss and headline
loss per share of 5,89 cents for the reporting period, compared to the loss and
headline loss per share of 4,24 cents and 6,79 cents respectively in the
previous corresponding period, being the year ended 30 June 2007.
The reason for the increase in loss per share is the disposal of 26% of the
shares in the mining subsidiaries to a Black Economic Empowerment partner, at a
profit, in the previous corresponding period.
The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been
audited nor reviewed by the company`s auditors, and the publication of the
preliminary results is expected on 29 September 2008.
