COMMENTARY
GROUP RESULTS
Avmin`s revenue and headline earnings increased at the rates of 41 per cent
and 239 per cent to R2,34 billion (R1,66 billion) and R105 million (R31
million), respectively, for the six months ended 31 December 2002 compared to
the 2001 comparative period. Headline earnings per share were 94 cents (28
cents). Assmang Limited (Assmang) and Nkomati nickel mine (Nkomati) continued to
perform satisfactorily. Increased contributions were received from Avgold
Limited (Avgold) and losses have been contained at Chambishi Metals plc
(Chambishi). A major determinant of the Group`s financial performance was the
strengthening of the rand/US dollar exchange rate during the period under
review. This has adversely affected rand revenue of US dollar priced products
and generated exchange gains on borrowings denoted in US dollars.
Avgold`s results showed an improvement as Target attained full production,
while ETC also performed well. Avgold benefited from an exchange gain on the
US$35 million of borrowings following the strengthening of the rand/US dollar
exchange rate. Avgold concluded an agreement to sell its ETC assets for R300
million to a consortium that includes a significant Black Economic Empowerment
component.
The Chambishi cobalt/copper operation in Zambia is now running at planned
production levels following the commissioning of the redesigned furnace. The low
cobalt price caused Chambishi to incur a loss during the period. There has been
an increase in the cobalt price in 2003.
Two Rivers Platinum (Proprietary) Limited (Two Rivers) signed a memorandum of
understanding with a Black Economic Empowerment consortium to acquire up to 25
per cent of Two Rivers. The consortium is to be managed by TISO Capital
(Proprietary) Limited, The Two Rivers and the consortium shareholders`
agreement will, when fully implemented, result in Avmin holding 41,3 per cent of
the venture, with Impala Platinum Holdings Limited (Implats) holding 33,7 per
cent and the consortium 25 per cent. Avmin and Implats will combine their
interests into a new holding structure managed by Avmin with 75 per cent of the
project`s equity.
Total capital expenditure for the period amounted to R257 million, expended
as follows: precious metals -- R74 million; ferrous metals - R140 million;
cobalt/copper - R25 million; and nickel - R17 million.
The Group`s debt-to-equity ratio showed a significant improvement, falling to
36 per cent (58 per cent), and similarly net borrowings (borrowings less
deposits and cash) declined 27 per cent to R1,8 billion (R2,4 billion) as a
result of the strengthening of the rand/US dollar exchange rate.
SAFETY
Three employees tragically lost their lives in two separate accidents at the
Black Rock and Beeshoek mines during December 2002. The Board very much regrets
these deaths and extends its condolences to the bereaved families and friends.
All operations showed a decrease in reportable incidents compared to the
previous quarter. Target achieved one million fatality free shifts in November
2002.
FERROUS METALS
Avmin`s 50,3 per cent held manganese, chrome and iron ore producer, Assmang,
reported a 14 per cent increase in headline earnings to R138 million (R121
million). The increase in earnings was mainly attributable to increased sales
volumes for all products and higher prices received for manganese alloys in both
US dollar and rand terms.
Sales Volume
Six months to: 31 Dec 2002 31 Dec 2001 % Change
Manganese ore (tons)* 409 000 382 000 7,1
Iron ore (tons) 2 259 000 2 149 000 5,1
Ferro-manganese (tons) 96 900 85 400 13,5
Ferro-chrome (tons) 103 600 88 900 16,5
*excludes intra group sales
Capital expenditure to maintain and improve operations during the period
under review amounted to R140 million (R186 million) and was spent mainly on:
* The development of the Nchwaning III shaft complex: This project is scheduled
for completion by 31 December 2003. Problems associated, inter alia, with ground
conditions and the commissioning of the 2,2 km long decline conveyor have caused
the final estimated cost to completion to increase by R68 million to R585
million. This complex will have a life in excess of 20 years and will supply the
total estimated sales requirement for high-grade manganese ore.
* The chrome division`s new 54 MVA furnace and 350 000 tons per annum
pelletising plant. These have experienced some technical problems, which delayed
the attainment of sustained planned production levels. These problems have been
addressed and full production is expected to be reached during the March 2003
quarter.
NICKEL
The Nkomati nickel mine, 75 per cent owned by Avmin, posted a lower profit
before taxation of R105 million (R109) mainly as a result of the firmer rand/US
dollar exchange rate. However, Nkomati`s results reflect a good operating
performance. Total ore treated increased to 137 000 tons (135 000 tons),
producing 28 900 tons (23 700 tons) of concentrates with average grades of 10,2
per cent (9,3 per cent) for nickel and 6,5 per cent (6,8 per cent) for copper.
The grade of the nickel feed was above two per cent.
Sales achieved were higher at 2 620 tons (1 880 tons) of nickel, 1 670 tons
(1 380 tons) of copper, 33 tons (26 tons) of cobalt and 19 040 ounces (16 940
ounces) of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs). Despite the rand`s gains against the US
dollar the mine remains cost competitive with a nickel production cost, net of
by-product credits, of US$0,50/lb, while the average nickel price over the
period amounted to US$3,16/lb (US$2,40/lb).
The Nkomati expansion project`s feasibility study has been concluded and
regulatory issues pertaining to environmental and mining authorisations are
being progressed. In addition to the current feasibility study, which envisages
nickel production to increase to some 16 000 tons per annum, various
alternatives are being considered to ensure the optimal return on investment.
COBALT/COPPER
Chambishi, owned 90 per cent by Avmin, continued to address and resolve the
issues affecting production at the plant, resulting in the plant processing a
total of 76 900 tonnes (64 500 tonnes) of slag during the period. Cobalt
production increased 43 per cent to 2 200 tons during the period, of which 1 300
tons (300 tons) were for Chambishi`s own account. Some 5 300 tons (6 400 tons)
of copper were produced, of which 610 tons (240 tons) were from Chambishi`s own
metal. The average cobalt price received during the period was significantly
lower than the previous period at US$6,22/lb (US$8,00 lb). The lower realised
cobalt price and the reduced output resulting from the refurbishment of the
furnace in August/September 2002 adversely impacted on Chambishi`s results.
Chambishi reported an operating loss attributable to Avmin of R61 million (R82
million loss).
Chambishi continues to discuss with the Government of the Republic of Zambia
(GRZ) the full implementation of the development agreement signed in 1998. The
GRZ has undertaken to implement the development agreement and apply equal fiscal
treatment and lower tariff arrangements to the mining industry.
Chambishi continues to seek a partner to share risk at Chambishi. Any
transaction may affect the carrying value of the Chambishi.
PRECIOUS METALS
Avmin`s 56 per cent held gold producer, Avgold, increased revenue to R502
million (R128 million) following Target`s commissioning on 1 May 2002. The
results for the previous period excludes Target and therefore are not
comparable. Costs and expenses amounted to R453 million (R114 million).
Operating profit increased to R50 million (R14 million). Headline earnings
increased to R79 million (R15 million), largely as a result of an unrealised
exchange gain of R52 million on the US$35 million borrowing following the
strengthening of the rand. The gain helped to offset the effects of the rand
selling price, which reduced to R83 488/kg (R89 133/kg), or US$299/oz
(US$306/oz) as a result of the hedges put in place when the funding for Target
was arranged. Capital expenditure declined significantly to R58 million from
R369 million.
The mark-to-market value of Avgold`s hedge book as at 31 December 2002 was a
negative R485 million - significantly lower than 31 December 2001`s negative R1
036 million - as a result of the strengthening of the rand/US dollar exchange
rate and delivery into the hedge book.
Ore milled at ETC declined to 162 700 tonnes (169 800 tonnes); gold sold
increased to 1 486 kg (1 438 kg) as a result of the grade improving to 9,13g/t
(8,47g/t). Cash costs increased to R71 097/kg (R68 140/kg), but declined in
dollar terms to US$218/oz (US$233/oz).
Ore milled at Target amounted to 576 400 tonnes, while gold sold was 4 524
kg. The yield was 7,85g/t, while the cash cost was R53 634/kg, or US$165/oz.
Capital expenditure totaled R47 million (R346 million).
Target`s Life of Mine plan was updated during the period, resulting in an
increased life of 18 years, compared to the previous 13 years.
Exploration work continued in the northern Free State in the Paradise area,
immediately north of the Target mine. Pre-feasibility work on a mine design
using the updated geological model and the latest mineral resource estimate is
underway and is expected to be presented to Avgold`s Board by 30 June 2003.
A detailed feasibility study on Two Rivers has been completed. The study
suggests that the sinking of a decline shaft is the best option to access the
ore body and that mechanised mining would allow the mine to attain full
production within two years after the completion of the shaft. A concentrator
would be erected on site and the concentrates sold to Impala Refining Services.
Implats will undertake marketing of the PGMs while the marketing of the base
metals contained in the concentrate will be conducted by Avmin.
PROSPECTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2003
The stabilisation of the Chambishi operation and Target`s contribution to
Avgold`s earnings for the entire 2003 financial year are expected to improve
Avmin`s headline earnings for the year as a whole compared to the 2002 financial
year. The rand/US dollar exchange rate will remain a key determinant in Avmin`s
financial performance for the year to 30 June 2003.

Total commitments and contingent
liabilities 1 062 1 215 997
The Company has a contingent liability for tax relating to the Anglovaal
Limited loan stock redemption premium that the South African Revenue Service
disallowed in 1998. The potential liability for tax is R107 million at a tax
rate of 30 per cent plus interest. The matter is currently under appeal. A back-
to-back guarantee to Assore Limited (Assore) is in respect of guarantees issued
to bankers by Assore to secure a short-term export finance agreement facility of
R180 million (2001: R180 million). Short-term export finance loans negotiated in
terms of the above facility in the ordinary course of business at 31 December
2002 were R9 million (2001: R105 million)
Anglovaal Mining Limited has provided an irrevocable and unconditional
guarantee to Copperbelt Energy Corporation plc (CEC) and The Development Bank of
Southern Africa Limited (DBSA) for the due and punctual payment by Chambishi
Metals plc (Chambishi) of the capital charge component of the power supply
assets installed and owned by CEC for which financing was obtained by CEC from
DBSA. The total outstanding capital charge obligation at 31 December 2002
amounted to US$10,8 million (2001: US$11,5 million) and will reduce over 10
years ending June 2012 as capital charge payments are made by Chambishi.
A contingent liability exists, arising from an agreement with LTA Process
Engineering whereunder Avgold Limited is liable for the erection costs of a
tailing dam, should a dump reclamation project at the latter`s ETC mining
complex be cancelled.
