The Jubilee Board is delighted to announce the appointment of Mr Malcolm Burne,

(60) has controlled and managed fund management, venture capital and investment
banking companies in Australia, Hong Kong and North America, as well as the UK.
Malcolm has been a Director of over 20 companies, many of which have been in the
mineral resources and gold exploration fields.  In addition, he was Executive
Chairman of the Australian Bullion Company (Pty) Ltd.,  Australia's leading gold
dealer and member of the Sydney Futures Exchange.  He is Executive Chairman of
Golden Prospect Plc (AIM: GOL) and is a Non Executive Director of several other
quoted resource companies in London, Australia and Canada.

Chris Molefe (56) is the Chief Executive of Royal Bafokeng Resources (Pty) Ltd
('RBR') and has held several positions in Corporate Banking and industry for the
previous 20 years.  RBR manages the Royal Bafokeng Nation's mining and
mining-related interests, currently comprising platinum group metals, chrome and
granite resources. As Chief Executive Officer of RBR, Chris serves on the Anglo
Platinum joint venture Rasimone Mines operating committee and is Non Executive
Chairman of SA Chrome Ltd, a publicity listed company in South Africa.

Chief Executive Colin Bird commented: 'We welcome Chris Molefe to the Board.
His knowledge and expertise of the South African platinum industry and business
in general will play a crucial role in the Company's growth and development.
His appointment is timely, particularly given the changing mining regulatory
climate in South Africa.'

Mr Burne the newly appointed Chairman added: 'Golden Prospect is a significant
shareholder in Jubilee and we have monitored the Company's progress with
interest.  I look forward to assuming my new role as Non Executive Chairman as
Jubilee is poised to enhance its positions in South Africa and Madagascar, with
a view to adding considerable shareholder value.'

About The Royal Bafokeng Nation ('RBN')

The RBN is a legal entity, led by their king Kgosi Leruo Molotlegi. The nation
comprises 300,000 people and inhabits an area of about 2,000 km(2). This area,
near Rustenburg in the North West province of South Africa, possesses both
Merensky and UG platinum reefs and constitutes the world's second largest
platinum reserves.

The RBN holds various mineral and mining rights and investments mainly in PGMs
and base metals. RBN's main source of income is an annual royalty received from
Impala Platinum Limited for the lease of the Impala Lease Area. The royalty
funds are channelled through RBN to the Royal Bafokeng Administration which
provides for certain municipal, medical and educational services for the
Bafokeng community.

In keeping with RBN's vision to develop its people and become self-sufficient by
the second decade of the 21st century, the executive council of RBN approved the
corporatisation of their mining assets under a new mining company, Royal
Bafokeng Resources Holdings (Pty) Limited.
