notwithstanding press reports to the contrary, the unlawful and
unprotected strike at the West Section of the KDC Gold Mine (KDC

The large majority of the 15,000 employees at KDC West and 9,000

The Company has received urgent interdicts for KDC West as well
as Beatrix West, and is applying for an interdict for the remainder of
the Beatrix mine. The Company is evaluating all options to deal with
the unlawful strikes.
