BLYVOOR ACCEPTS OFFER OF ASSISTANCE FROM ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI
DRDGOLD shareholders (“Shareholders”) are advised that the Company’s distressed operating subsidiary,
Blyvooruitzicht Gold Mining Company Limited (“Blyvoor”) has accepted an offer of assistance from
AngloGold Ashanti Limited (“AngloGold Ashanti”) This offer is subject to the finalisation of a definitive
agreement between Blyvoor and AngloGold Ashanti
This development follows DRDGOLD’s announcement published on SENS on 23 June 2011 which included
details that, in response to DRDGOLD’s suspension of any further financial assistance to Blyvoor, the board
of directors of Blyvoor (“Blyvoor Board”) had decided to begin business rescue proceedings for Blyvoor in
terms of Chapter 6 of the new Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008, as amended (“Companies Act”).
The offer of assistance from AngloGold Ashanti involves the sale to Blyvoor of some 390 000 square metres
of its neighbouring Savuka mining area for a consideration of R35 million. This area is not within
AngloGold’s current mine planning. Pending the necessary regulatory approvals and subject to the
finalisation of a binding agreement,, Blyvoor will mine the area under contract.
“We are grateful to AngloGold Ashanti for this show of good neighbourliness and pragmatism,” said Niël
Pretorius, CEO of DRDGOLD.
“We believe that there may be potential for Blyvoor to generate significant free cashflow by mining the
Savuka ground, which will help to restore its ‘going concern’ status, an important consideration for
prospective lenders and suitors.”
In terms of the provisions of Chapter 6 of the Companies Act, the Blyvoor Board has appointed Peter van
den Steen as the Business Rescue Practitioner. Working with Blyvoor’s management team, Van den Steen
has 25 working days – until 12 August – to produce a rescue plan for Blyvoor. The plan must then be
presented to and voted on by Blyvoor's creditors.
“At this point, we are very confident the rescue process can deliver a workable rescue plan,” Pretorius said.
“A ‘no’ vote to such a plan would mean Blyvoor’s liquidation; an outcome with far-reaching negative
consequences for all stakeholders.”
