rates were A$1 = R4.91 and A$1 = R4.62 for the June 2005 and March
2005 quarters respectively and A$1 = R4.66 for the year. # As a
significant portion of the acquisition price was allocated to
tenements of St Ives and Agnew on endowment ounces and also as
these two Australian operations are entitled to transfer and then
off-set tax losses from one company to another, it is not
meaningful to split the income statement below operating profit.

Carbon Leader reef values were impacted by traversing a 1,000
cm.g/t stretch in the 19 raise line between 48 and 50 levels at 5
shaft. Values should revert to the average Carbon Leader values
experienced in F2005. * The decline in the average on-reef
development values returned for Kloof in the June 2005 quarter, as
compared to the relatively high values reported in the March 2005
quarter are largely attributable to changes at 3, 4 and 7 shafts.
During the June 2005 quarter a number of very high-grade raises
developed and sampled in the previous quarter were holed at 3 and 4
shafts. Several raises also traversed known geological facies
boundaries temporarily moving from higher grade VCR terrace reef
into lower grade VCR slope reef. Expectations are that development
values will return to the averages attained in F2005. Forward
