ISSUE BY KPMG INC. OF US GAAP OPINION
Shareholders are referred to the report to shareholders for the six months ended 31 December 2004, published on 24 February 2005, which drew attention to certain circumstances that, if they were to arise, may have had an adverse impact on the ability of the company and its subsidiaries, associates and joint venture (“the group”), at that time, to continue as a going concern, as well as to the modified review opinion issued by KPMG Inc. as a consequence of the existence of a material uncertainty in this regard.
DRDGOLD is pleased to announce that, on 1 June 2005, KPMG Inc. issued an unmodified review opinion on publication of DRDGOLD’s US GAAP results for the six months ended 31 December 2004 on the basis that:
-
on 18 March 2005, R38 million was received, in aggregate, from Consolidated African Mines Limited and JCI Limited in respect of an outstanding legal dispute;
-
on 22 March 2005, application was made and granted for the provisional liquidation of Buffelsfontein Gold Mines Limited (“Buffelsfontein”), thereby eliminating DRDGOLD’s exposure to future losses that were expected to be generated by this operation;
-
on 7 April 2005, DRDGOLD entered into a subscription agreement with Baker Steel Capital Managers LLP on behalf of its clients (“the BSCM clients”), pursuant to which 17 million new DRDGOLD shares were issued to the BSCM clients on 24

May 2005, at an issue price of R5.50 per new DRDGOLD share, for an aggregate consideration of R93.5 million (before expenses); and
-
on 5 April 2005, DRDGOLD entered into an underwriting agreement with certain underwriters (“the underwriters”), pursuant to which DRDGOLD has raised R86.9 million (before expenses) through the conditional allotment to the underwriters of 15 804 116 new DRDGOLD shares (“the claw-back shares”) at a subscription price of R5.50 per share. The claw-back shares are to be offered to DRDGOLD shareholders in terms of a claw-back offer, details of which were contained in an announcement published on Thursday, 26 May 2005 on the Securities Exchange News Service of the JSE Securities Exchange South Africa.
The board of directors of DRDGOLD is of the view that the liquidation of Buffelsfontein, together with the receipt of cash from the abovementioned sources and the cash generated by the group’s offshore assets should be sufficient to meet DRDGOLD’s cash requirements in the short- to medium-term.
