                    Commissioning of the second pilot plant



21 April 2008

Watermark is pleased to announce the commissioning of its second pilot water
treatment plant today by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Western Utilities
Corporation (Pty) Ltd ('WUC').  The plant was designed and built by Atomaer
Technologies who will also operate it for a minimum period of three months.  The
plant will provide detailed information on water quality, mass balances,
including by-products generated by the process, operating costs and capital
costs required that could form part of the commercialisation phase. The plant
was constructed on a modular basis, using a patented technology, developed by
MINTEK over a period of nine years called SAVMIN. The SAVMIN technology
comprises five stages and is based on the selective precipitation of insoluble
complexes at different stages during the process. SAVMIN has a number of
advantages, most notably:

•  It can treat a wide spectrum of polluted mine water (i.e. from gold,
   platinum, coal and base metal mines);

•  It regenerates the required Al2(OH)3 reagent for reuse, which results
   in a significant cost reduction;

•  The process uses readily available reagents (sulphuric acid, lime and
   aluminium). The storage and handling of these reagents is well understood

The Directors expect to provide further updates during this period on the mass
balances, operating and capital costs requirements which will form part of the
technology selection process for the construction of a 75 megalitre per day
plant which will have the potential to be expanded to 200 megalitres per day.
