                            Revised trading update                             

Shareholders are referred to the trading update released on Monday, 28 June
2010 ("Trading Update"). Shareholders were advised that in terms of paragraph
3.4(b) of the Listings Requirements of the JSE, a listed company is required to
publish a trading statement as soon as it is satisfied that a reasonable degree
of certainty exists that the financial results for the period to be reported on
next, will differ by at least 20 per cent from those of the previous
corresponding period.

The Company advises that due to higher than forecast gold sales at the end of
June 2010, and a lower than expected average ZAR:GBP exchange rate, the
expected earnings per share and headline earnings per share have been adjusted
as follows:

Earnings per share for the financial year ended 30 June 2010, denominated in
pounds sterling ("GBP"), is expected to be between 159 and 162 per cent higher
than those for the previous corresponding period (2009: 0.4 pence per share).
Earnings per share, calculated in South African Rand ("ZAR"), as well as
headline earnings calculated in GBP and ZAR, are expected to remain within the
ranges previously indicated.

The financial information for the financial year ending 30 June 2010 and
contained in this trading update has neither been reviewed nor reported on by
the Company`s auditors.  It is anticipated that the Company's audited results
for the financial year ending 30 June 2010 will be released on 31 August 2010.
