Notes:

The provisional results are prepared on the historical cost basis. The
accounting policies adopted by the Group are in accordance with South African
Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and are consistent with
those of the previous year, except as noted below.

During the year the Group changed its accounting policy with respect to the
treatment of its Share Incentive Trust. In accordance with the JSE Securities
Exchange South Africa Listings Requirements, the Group has now consolidated
its Share Incentive Trust. The comparative amounts have been appropriately
restated. Treasury shares are netted off against the equity of the Group.
There was no effect on the profit or opening reserves of the Group.

Earnings decreased as a result of lower gold production and the lower
Rand/gold price due to the strength of the Rand. Remedial steps have been
taken to expand production to enhance revenue and reduce unit costs.

Unqualified auditors' review
The provisional results have been reviewed by the Group's auditors, Grant
Thornton. A copy of their unqualified review on the abridged financial
statements contained in this provisional report is available for inspection at
the Company's registered office.

Withdrawal of cautionary announcement
Shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcement that accompanied the
recent trading update published on 14 June 2004. With the publication of these
provisional results, the cautionary is hereby withdrawn.
