TRADING STATEMENT
Shareholders are advised that the company"s headline earnings per share and
earnings per share for the six month period ended 31 December 2005 are expected
to be between 490% and 500% higher than the restated headline earnings and
earnings of 26.3 cents per share for the comparable period ended 31 December
2004. The earnings have been restated following the adoption of IFRS 2 - "Share
Based Payments".
The expected increase in earnings results from a combination of a substantial
increase in the average Rand receipts for the company"s basket of metals and
higher sales volumes relative to the previous comparable period which were
adversely affected by an interruption to production.
The forecast earnings have not been reviewed by the company"s auditors.
It is anticipated that the interim results for the six months ended 31 December
2005 will be released on or about 2 February 2006.
