REVIEW AND SETTING ASIDE OF DECISION TO CANCEL MINING RIGHT                     
Further to the announcements of 13 October 2011 and 24 October 2011,            
shareholders are advised that the Minister of Mineral Resources of the Republic 
of South Africa ("the Minister") and her departmental co-respondents have       
elected not to oppose the application instituted in the High Court by Ferreira  
Estate and Investment Company Limited ("FEIC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of    
Central Rand Gold and the registered holder of the Company`s mining right under 
departmental reference number GP30/5/1/1/2/140MR ("Mining Right"), for final    
relief to review and set aside the Minister`s administrative decision, made on  
22 September 2011, to cancel the Mining Right  ("the Decision").                
The parties have accordingly agreed to have the Decision set aside by way of a  
consent order (the "Order") sanctioned by the High Court.                       
An enrolment date of 22 December 2011 has been secured for purposes of obtaining
this Order, on an unopposed basis and by agreement amongst the parties.         
The granting of the Order would bring a conclusion to FEIC`s legal challenge to 
the Decision.                                                                   
Central Rand Gold will continue to discuss its social and labour development    
plans with the Department of Mineral Resources in order to agree a plan that is 
more appropriate for Central Rand Gold`s revised mining plans.                  
Further announcements will be made as appropriate.
