Its flagship operation is the newly built shallow Modder East mine on the East Rand, some 30 kilometres from Johannesburg. Modder East is the first new mine to be built in the region in 28 years and distinguishes itself from most of the other gold mines in South Africa owing to its shallow nature (300 metres to 500 metres below surface). To date Modder East has provided direct employment opportunities for over 1 100 people. Gold One also owns the nearby existing Sub Nigel mine, which is used primarily as a training centre in the build-up of Modder East to full production. Gold One`s other projects and targets include Ventersburg in the Free State Goldfields, the Tulo concession in Mozambique and the Etendeka greenfield project in Namibia. Gold One has an issued share capital of 808,990,251 shares. This news release does not constitute investment advice.
