Further to the announcement of 12 December 2011, the Company confirms that      
today, 22 December 2011, a consent order ("the Order") setting aside the        
Minister of Mineral Resources of the Republic of South Africa administrative    
decision ("the Decision"), made on 22 September 2011, to cancel the mining      
right held by Ferreira Estate and Investment Company Limited ("FEIC") under     
departmental reference number GP30/5/1/1/2/140MR, was obtained in High Court    
of South Africa.                                                                
The granting of the Order concludes FEIC`s legal challenge to the Decision.
