TRADING STATEMENT                                                               
The Company is currently finalising its results for the half year ended 30      
September 2005, which should be released on SENS on 14 November 2005. In this   
regard, shareholders are advised that the loss per share after impairments will 
be 93,7 cents (2004: earnings per share 81,2 cents). Headline earnings per share
will be 46,1 cents (2004: 77,2 cents).                                          
The reduction in headline earnings per share is mainly due to increased         
exploration activities and the impact of the higher oil price on the South      
African operations.                                                             
The loss per share is attributable to the impairment of certain exploration     
projects, the results of which have proved uneconomic.                          
The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been 
reviewed and reported on by the Company"s auditors.
