COMMENTS
Outlook
Following the offer to shareholders and the annual general meeting where four
new directors were appointed to the board of Petmin, Midnight Storm Investments
34 (Pty) Ltd has become the new controlling shareholder of Petmin together with
PSG Capital Limited, who will have a 20% strategic interest in the company.
As stated in the announcement to shareholders on 18 November 2003, the company
intends to refocus its business and to create shareholder value by pursuing
mining exploration and development projects in which:
* Emerging previously disadvantaged entrepreneurs, including woman,
participate in a substantial and meaningful way;
* The full set of criteria contained in the Mining Charter Scorecard are
pursued progressively; and
* Access to international equity capital is optimally leveraged to enhance
project economics.
The company is currently reviewing certain specific projects that might meet
these criteria, and appropriate announcements will be made in due course.
Specific Issue Of Shares For Cash
At the annual general meeting of the company held on 30 January 2004, the
requisite majority of shareholders approved an ordinary resolution authorising
the directors to issue up to 20,0 million shares to PSG Capital Limited in
accordance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Securities Exchange South
Africa. ("the JSE").
The directors have now resolved to issue 17,0 million par value ordinary shares
at 30 cents each to PSG Capital Limited, thereby raising R 5,1 million. The
price of 30 cents per share is equivalent to the price offered to shareholders
in terms of the offer to shareholders dated 12 December 2003. The 17,0 million
new shares represents a 21,25 percent increase in the issued share capital of
the company, and accordingly the following disclosure is made in terms of
section 11.20 of the JSE Listings Requirements.

Listing Of The New Shares
The JSE has granted a listing of the new shares with effect from the
commencement of business on Monday, 23 February 2004.
Comparative Figures
The comparative figures show the sale of Petmin"s operating subsidiary, which
was sold effective 30 September 2002, as an exceptional item. The current period
results disclose the results of the operations of Petmin as a cash company with
only interest earned, and which has resulted in the large decrease in earnings
per share between the current period and the comparative period.
Accounting Policies
These results have been prepared according to the historical cost accounting
convention and have been prepared in accordance with South African Statements of
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The methods of computations and
accounting policies are consistent with those applied in previous periods.
Further Cautionary
Petmin currently remains a cash company in terms of the JSE Listings
Requirements. Shareholders are therefore advised to exercise caution in dealing
in their securities until a further announcement is made.
