Notes:

The group changed the accounting policy from the appropriation method  to
compliance with International Accounting Standards. The principal effects of
this change are that mining assets are now amortised over the lives of the mines
and gold-in-process has been brought to account. The effect of this change is as
follows:

Reduction in net profit before and after tax due to increase in amortisation
charge for mining assets and accounting for gold-in-process:

2002   R3,16 million

2001   R2,87 million

Restatement of opening accumulated loss in respect of prior year adjustment to
mining assets and gold-in-process:

2002   R51,79 million

2001   R48,92 million

The operating performance of the group continued to improve reflecting a
significant turnaround in operating profit and a small loss for the financial
year.
