(“the Company”)
PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT, NEW CAUTIONARY
ANNOUNCEMENT AND RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
INTRODUCTION
Shareholders are referred to the previous cautionary announcements dated
30 May 2014, 2 June 2014, 11 July 2014, 22 August 2014, 6 October 2014,
17 November 2014, 2 January 2015, 13 February 2015, 27 March 2015, 14 May
2015, 25 June 2015 and 6 August 2015 respectively.
The Company has been through a very difficult period, with attempts to secure
additional funding for the group being unsuccessful to date due, inter alia, the
difficult situation in the platinum industry. This has also impacted on potential
acquisitions, which the Company has been similarly unable to conclude thus far.
The Company is expected to announce changes to its executive management
in due course.
Certain of the group’s prospecting rights have lapsed subsequent to the year
end and petitions have been made to the Minister of Mineral Resources for their
validity and security of tenure.
In addition, the Company is exploring the disposal of one of its subsidiaries for
cash.
PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
As previously announced, the Company had been approached by a third party
for the acquisition of substantial mining assets which negotiations have not
proceeded. Accordingly, the cautionary announcement is withdrawn in relation
to these negotiations.
NEW CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
Shareholders are advised that the Company has been approached as a vehicle
for a reverse listing unrelated to the mining industry, which negotiations also
provide for an injection of funds to regularise the compliance requirements of
the Company, and the unbundling of the mining assets to existing Platfields
shareholders. The potential unbundling of the mining assets will result in these
assets no longer being listed on the JSE.
Shareholders are also advised that the Company’s administrative offices have
been closed for operations.
The Company has also received notice from their Executive Directors that they
will be tendering their resignations at the next annual general meeting.
RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY
Accordingly, shareholders are advised to continue to exercise caution when
dealing in the Company’s securities until a further announcement is made.
