The limited cash resources severely hampered the company`s ability to operate   
successfully. This was further complicated by delays in implementing the planned
rescue operation.

OTR has succeeded in securing an extension of its option in respect of only 25% 
of the Palmietfontein mineral rights. Its previous option expired on 30         
September 2002.  It continues in its efforts to secure the other 75%.           
As a result of OTR not being in control of a major asset, it does not comply    
with the Listings requirements of the JSE Securities Exchange South Africa ("the
JSE"), and the JSE has given notice that OTR`s continued listing is under threat
if it does not acquire suitable assets.                                         
Prospects                                                                       
The directors continue in their endeavour to secure new assets for the company. 
In addition to Palmietfontein, there are a number of interesting opportunities  
which are being pursued.                                                        
It is hoped that an announcement will be made early in 2003.

No dividend is recommended by the directors.                                    
Accounting Policies                                                             
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the South African

The company`s auditors, Harbour Grenville Inc. have qualified their opinion on  
the company`s financial statements as follows:                                  
"The company`s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the       
resumption of future profitable operations and the continuation of existing     
levels of finance by major creditors and financiers, until the company is able  
to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business".                    
A copy of their report is available at the registered office of the company.
