Rick Menell, Chairman commented:

“We have had a good year operationally with record production being achieved at Assmang and Nkomati and with Target Mine having being brought into full production. As predicted, our earnings have been impacted by the strength of the Rand.

We have made significant steps during the year to reduce the risk profile of the Group and also have eliminated most of our debt. We now have a portfolio of high quality assets.

We are committed to a process of reviewing options to restructure the Group in order to accelerate the development of our exciting nickel, platinum and other projects. We expect to announce our strategic intentions by early 2004.”
