Gold One is pleased to announce that it has made a binding offer to acquire 100%
of Rand Uranium (Proprietary) Limited ("Rand Uranium") for a total consideration
of US$ 250 million (ZAR 1,685 million, based upon the exchange rate on the date
of the Offer was tabled: ZAR 6.74 : US$ 1). The binding offer has been accepted
by the Rand Uranium shareholders, Pamodzi Uranium (Proprietary) Limited, Pamodzi
Cooke (Proprietary) Limited and Armgold/Harmony Joint Investment Company
(Proprietary) Limited (collectively referred to as the "Sellers"), subject to
the conditions detailed below ("the Proposed Transaction").
As announced to the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX") on 31 March 2011 and
again on 21 April 2011, the company has under contemplation from time to time
various initiatives to enhance shareholder returns, including corporate
transactions. The acquisition of Rand Uranium by Gold One is one such
transaction. Other transactions, whilst under contemplation, are both
confidential and not at a stage to warrant disclosure because of their
incomplete nature. For example, as announced to the ASX on 31 March 2011 and
again on 21 April 2011, Gold One is also contemplating a potential change of
control transaction for the company which, if it were to proceed, could involve
an offer to Gold One shareholders to acquire all of their shares, on terms and
conditions yet to be determined. The company can give no assurance that this
change of control transaction will eventuate.
Rand Uranium is a private company that was established in 2008 when Harmony Gold
Mining Company Limited ("Harmony"), among the world`s top ten gold producers,
sold the Cooke 1, 2 and 3 underground operations ("the Cooke Operations") and
the surface assets of Randfontein Estates Gold Mine (excluding the Doornkop
Section) to the Sellers. Rand Uranium`s assets and operations are situated in
the West Rand, 30 kilometers from Johannesburg, South Africa and has a net asset
value of over US$ 500 million.
BACKGROUND ON RAND URANIUM AND PROPOSED TRANSACTION RATIONALE
Rand Uranium is a shallow gold mining operation with a profile that fits Gold
One`s stated strategy of mining shallow low technical risk gold resources. Rand
Uranium is an established gold producer which produced 163,000 ounces of gold in
2010 at approximately US$ 1,222/oz (based on an exchange rate of ZAR 6.80 : US$
1). In addition, Rand Uranium has an impressive mineral resource and reserve
base as outlined below.
Gold One President and CEO Neal Froneman comments: "The Rand Uranium operations
represent one of the few established, shallow, gold producing operations in
South Africa. I am delighted that our offer for Rand Uranium has been accepted.
This value accretive acquisition materially increases Gold One`s production
profile to approximately 300,000 ounces per annum and significantly improves our
operating flexibility."

RAND URANIUM: GOLD OPERATIONS
Gold One`s primary focus is Rand Uranium`s gold operations which principally
include the shallow (typically 600 meters - 800 meters below surface) Cooke
Operations. During 2010, a total of 126,000 ounces of gold was produced from
the three underground shafts. This gold was produced from 1,062,400 tonnes of
underground ore (equating to an average of 88,500 tonnes milled per month) at an
average recovered grade of 3.70 grams per tonne.
The shaft infrastructure is significantly underutilised with a total design
capacity of approximately 500,000 tonnes per month (250,000 at Cooke 3, 150,000
at Cooke 2 and 100,000 at Cooke 1). Underground operating costs have typically
been in the order of ZAR 1,000 per tonne, equating to approximately US$ 1,235
per ounce at current exchange rates (ZAR 6.80 : US$ 1).
Gold One`s immediate focus will be on enhancing the profitability of these
existing gold operations. Gold One`s aim is to achieve this primarily by
increasing recovered grades and reducing operating costs. Enhanced mining
efficiencies and optimised mining mix practices will contribute to an increase
in mined grades, while cost reductions are envisaged through cost synergies
between existing Gold One structures and the three operating Cooke shafts. In
addition, Gold One will apply its mining experience, techniques and, where
appropriate, technologies successfully implemented at Modder East.
The Cooke Operations are serviced by a developed network of mining and civil
infrastructure, with adequate electrical power and readily available water. The
primary mining horizons at Cooke Underground are the Upper Elsburgs and VCR
reefs. Although these ore bodies have been mined for 20 to 30 years, the
current economic climate, combined with a wide range of modern exploration and
resource development tools, has the potential to significantly expand the life
of these operations.
In addition to the underground operations, Rand Uranium has several gold surface
opportunities, most notably "Dump 20", which Rand Uranium has been successfully
mining and processing over the past 24 months. Mining of this dump will
continue over the short term.
While underground ore has predominantly been treated at Harmony`s Doornkop
plant, Rand Uranium owns the Cooke Plant which was constructed in 1978 and was
originally designed to treat high grade gold ores from the adjacent Cooke 1, 2
and 3 shafts. It has a nameplate capacity of 280 kilo tonnes per month. The
Cooke Plant is currently treating surface material from Dump 20, but requires
minimal capital expenditure to be reconfigured for treating underground ores.
In addition, the newly proposed uranium processing facility is planned to be
built adjacent to the Cooke Plant, facilitating optimal gold and uranium
extraction of underground and surface ore sources.
RAND URANIUM: URANIUM PROJECT
The significant uranium resources hosted within both the underground operations
and the surface assets of Rand Uranium provide a unique opportunity to consider
gold and uranium co-product optimisation when undertaking production planning.
The ability to consider uranium extraction as a co-product to gold significantly
reduces the cash cost per ounce of gold production. In addition, optimal co-
product planning has the potential to extend the life of the operations, by
enhancing currently marginal gold resources.
To date, Rand Uranium is well advanced with definitive feasibility studies
(including 70% of detailed engineering design already completed) on its uranium
project. This project has primarily considered the construction of a uranium
processing facility and the surface uranium resources associated with the Cooke
Tailings Deposit. The envisaged uranium project involves the construction of a
large-scale (5.4 million tonnes per annum) uranium ore processing plant for the
recovery of uranium from the Cooke Tailings Dam and from the Cooke Operations.
Current studies suggest that at steady state, production of approximately 2.3
million pounds of U3O8 can be achieved per year annum over a 10 year period,
after which production decreases to approximately 1.5 million pounds of U3O8 per
annum for a further 5 years. Significant potential exists to extend the life of
the uranium project through increased production from underground co-product ore
sources.
The project has been significantly de-risked due to three primary features:
- The Cooke Tailings Deposit of 34.33 million pounds (including 79.3 million
tonnes grading at 0.186 kilograms per tonne for 32.49 million pounds U3O8
in the measured resource category and 7.0 million tonnes grading at 0.119
kilograms per tonne for 1.84 million pounds in the indicated resource
category) is contained within a well drilled and understood surface
tailings deposit with low cost mining and low technical risk;
- Current gold ore being mined contains significant amounts of uranium. This
represents a second uranium source; and
- New higher grade uranium areas have been identified underground and given
the lead time associated with the uranium plant construction, this provides
a unique opportunity to pre-develop the identified higher grade underground
uranium sections thereby ensuring a successful and almost instantaneous
production ramp up.
Although Gold One`s short term focus is on increasing the profitability and
efficiencies of the existing gold business, it recognises a substantial medium
term opportunity to reduce operational risk and costs through co-product mining
and optimisation. Prior to the implementation and construction of a new uranium
processing facility, the company will undertake a detailed review of the
existing feasibility study to ensure optimal co-product mining of both the
surface and underground uranium resources.

RAND URANIUM: ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
In addition to the existing gold operations and uranium project, Rand Uranium
has further tangible upside potential that can be realised in the short to
medium term from:
- additional surface resources;
- significant historic resources on the old Randfontein Estates Section also
held by Rand Uranium;
- increasing the production levels at the currently operating Cooke Section.
Mr Froneman further comments: "The acquisition of Rand Uranium represents a rare
opportunity to purchase a well established gold business that can be
commercially optimised through the implementation of uranium co-product mining.
In addition, the associated surface and historic gold resources present a
substantial opportunity for future production growth. The Gold One team, with
its significant gold, uranium and shallow mining experience, is well placed to
bring the Rand Uranium assets to account".
2. THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION
The Sellers have accepted the Offer for the acquisition of all the issued shares
of and shareholders` claims against Rand Uranium from the Sellers for a total
consideration of US$ 250 million ("the Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price is
to be settled on the completion date, which will be the date defined as such in
the Sale of Shares and Claims Agreement ("Sale Agreement") still to be concluded
between the Parties in relation to the Proposed Transaction.
The Parties have entered into an exclusivity agreement in order to facilitate
the finalisation and signature of the Sale Agreement.
Gold One has secured a US$ 210 million underwritten facility from a leading
international financial institution which will be available to fund part of the
Purchase Price. The availability of this funding is subject to conditions
precedent which are not unusual in a financing offer of this nature.
Should Gold One not raise cash financing in excess of the Purchase Price, Gold
One is entitled to satisfy the difference between the Purchase Price and the
cash payment actually made ("Balance Payment") by issuing new fully paid
ordinary shares of Gold One to the Sellers. The number of Gold One shares to be
issued to the Sellers is to be determined by dividing the Balance Payment by the
volume weighted average price at which Gold One`s shares traded on the ASX over
the 30 business days prior to the completion date, converted to United States
dollars at the closing Australian/United States dollar exchange rate as quoted
by the Standard Bank of South Africa Limited on the completion date.
3. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
The implementation of the Proposed Transaction is both subject to and
conditional upon the fulfillment of, inter alia, the following conditions
precedent:
- the Parties negotiating and executing the Sale Agreement, on terms mutually
acceptable to the Parties, each acting reasonably;
- the approval of the Proposed Transaction by the competition authorities of
the Republic of South Africa;
- the approval of the Proposed Transaction and passing of such resolutions as
may be required by Gold One`s shareholders in general meeting, to the
extent required;
- all necessary consents being obtained from the Minister of the Department
of Mineral Resources in South Africa;
- all necessary approvals being obtained from the ASX and the JSE Limited;
- approval from the South African Reserve Bank, to the extent required;
- Gold One having closed its financing arrangements and having the necessary
funding available to enable it to make payment of the Purchase Price;
Gold One is of the opinion that the conditions precedent contained above can be
fulfilled in a timely and efficient manner.
4. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION
Subject to the Proposed Transaction becoming unconditional, it is expected to
take approximately four to six months to implement.

December 2010 (Modder East).
SAMREC AND JORC TERMINOLOGY
In addition, this release uses the terms `indicated resources` and `inferred
resources` as defined in accordance with the SAMREC Code, prepared by the South
African Mineral Resource Committee (SAMREC), under the auspices of the South
African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM), effective March 2000 or as
amended from time to time and where indicated in accordance with the Canadian
National Instrument 43-101 - Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects. The
terms `indicated resources` and `inferred resources` are also defined in the
2004 Edition of the JORC Code, prepared by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee
(JORC) of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM), the
Australian Institute of Geoscientists (AIG) and the Minerals Council of
Australia (MCA). (The use of these terms in this release is consistent with the
definitions of both the SAMREC Code and the JORC Code.)
A mineral reserve (or `ore reserve` in the JORC Code) is the economically
mineable part of a measured or indicated resource demonstrated by at least a
preliminary feasibility study. This study must include adequate information on
mining, processing, metallurgical, economic and other relevant factors that
demonstrate at the time of reporting that economic extraction can be justified.
A mineral reserve includes diluting materials and allows for losses that may
occur when the material is mined. A proven mineral reserve (or `proved ore
reserve` in the JORC Code) is the economically mineable part of a measured
resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical
characteristics are so well established that they can be estimated with
confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and
economic parameters to support production planning and evaluation of the
economic viability of the deposit. A probable mineral reserve (or `probable ore
reserve` in the JORC Code) is the economically mineable part of an indicated
mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and
physical characteristics can be estimated with a level of confidence sufficient
to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic parameters to
support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit.
A mineral resource is a concentration or occurrence of natural, solid, inorganic
or fossilised organic material in or on the earth`s crust in such form and
quantity and of such a grade or quality that it has reasonable prospects for
economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, geological characteristics
and continuity of a mineral resource are known, estimated or interpreted from
specific geological evidence and knowledge. A measured mineral resource is that
part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities,
shape and physical characteristics can be estimated with a level of confidence
sufficient to allow the appropriate application of technical and economic
parameters to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of
the deposit. The estimate is based on detailed and reliable exploration,
sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from
locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drillholes that are
spaced closely enough to confirm both geological and grade continuity. An
indicated mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which
quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics can be
estimated with a level of confidence sufficient to allow the appropriate
application of technical and economic parameters to support mine planning and
evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. The estimate is based on
detailed and reliable exploration and testing information gathered through
appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings
and drillholes that are spaced closely enough for geological and grade
continuity to be reasonably assumed. An inferred mineral resource is that part
of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality can be estimated
on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed,
but not verified, geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on
limited exploration and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from
locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drillholes. Mineral
resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic
viability. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the
mineral deposits in the measured and indicated resource categories will ever be
converted into reserves. In addition, "inferred resources" have a great amount
of uncertainty as to their existence and economic and legal feasibility. It
cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will be
ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under South African and Australian rules,
estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or
pre-feasibility studies or economic studies except under conditions noted in the
SAMREC Code and the JORC Code, respectively.
Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred
resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Exploration data is
acquired by Gold One and its consultants under strict quality assurance and
quality control protocols.
No stock exchange, securities commission or other regulatory authority has
approved or disapproved the information contained herein.
