About Gold One
Gold One is a gold producer listed on the financial markets operated by the ASX
Limited and the JSE Limited, issuer code GDO. 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.

of China (PRC). The Consortium is led principally by Baiyin Non-Ferrous Group Co
Ltd, which is a Gansu-based resources smelting and extraction company with a
history of more than 50 years in China. China Africa Development Fund is
primarily a financial investor, and its parent, the China Development Bank
Corporation is also interested in exploring opportunities for follow-on debt and
acquisition financing arising from an investment in Gold One. Long March Capital
Limited is a privately-held investment manager based in Beijing and focussed on
the transactional management of resources investments by Chinese capital abroad.
Long March Capital Limited co-invests in transactions such as the investment in
Gold One, which will be made through co-managed PRC-based and offshore
