Tolling Agreement Executed and First Ore Delivery Received
Further to the “Operational, Financial and Corporate Update and Board Changes” announcement dated
7 June 2016, regarding Toll Treatment and Joint Venture Opportunities, the board of directors of Central
Rand Gold is pleased to provide the following update to shareholders.
Joint Venture Tolling Agreement Update
Central Rand Gold is pleased to announce that it has completed and executed the definitive documents
which will govern the Joint Venture Tolling Agreement (“Tolling Venture”) with the third party supplier of
gold bearing ore (“Ore Supplier”). In addition, the Company is pleased to announce that it has received
multiple deliveries of gold bearing ore from the Ore Supplier which is presently being stockpiled on site at
the Company’s metallurgical plant. The Ore Supplier will continue to deliver gold bearing ore to the
Company over the coming days, before processing of the material by Central Rand Gold, commencing in
late July 2016. The Company is presently conducting metallurgical testing to ensure optimum recoveries
of gold are achieved from the material.
Additional Joint Venture Opportunities
The Company continues to advance due diligence and negotiations with additional third parties regarding
a variety of joint venture alternatives. Given the commencement of the Tolling Venture, the Joint Venture
Opportunities will likely require the nameplate capacity of the Company’s existing metallurgical plant to be
increased. In this regard, the Company is working closely with Zhejiang Golden Machinery Plant to
conduct various testwork and due diligence workstreams regarding the Joint Venture Opportunities and
the potential expansion of the existing metallurgical plant. The Company expects to be in a position to
update shareholders regarding the Joint Venture Opportunities in the near future.
