FOCUS ON OUR GROWTH PROJECTS REMAINS
Despite the harsh financial and operating conditions encountered in the past year the company has remained
focused on rebuilding its growth strategy.Accordingly expenditure on all of the local and international growth
projects continued as planned. During the past quarter a total of R449 million was spent on capital. Of this
R192 million was spent on project capital. Good progress continues to be made at our Phakisa, Masimong,
Tshepong, Elandsrand New Mine and Doornkop South Reef projects locally. With our Hidden Valley project in
PNG, the construction road has now reached the halfway mark. Good progress has also been made with the
updating of the feasibility study.

Hidden Valley project
The feasibility update has been progressing well and it is expected that we will be able to submit the final
documented study update to the board by April 2006. This will include sign-off on all technical aspects of the
study, as well as a cash flow model that will reflect the updated economics of the project.

Construction of the access road is progressing well with all road building equipment delivered to site.
Pioneering has reached the 18.5km mark of the 40km road, with some difficult terrain ahead which will slow
down the good progress made to date. It is expected that the pioneering crew will reach the proposed mine
camp site by the end of May with road completion planned towards June 2006.

The Hidden Valley Environmental Management plan (“EMP”) was completed and submitted to the
Department of Environment and Conservation on 22 November 2005. This EMP has to be approved by the
department before any site works can start. The department has three months to respond and question
aspects of the plan after submission, which fits in with the proposed project construction timeline.

Cut-off and pit optimisation have resulted in significant project improvements, albeit at marginally lower
recovery grades.
recovery grades.
– Total recoverable ounces increased from 1.9M oz to 2.6M oz (which led to an increase in Life of Mine from
6.5 years to 9.5 years)
– Average head grade decreased to 2.2 g/t
– Strip ratio improved from 13:1 to 9:1
– Average annual bulk cubic metres (bcm) mined will be reduced from 19M bcm to 12M bcm
With the new design mill throughput has been planned to increase from 3.5 Mtpa to 4.2 Mtpa:
– Average gold produced per annum is planned at approximately 285 000 oz
– Total average silver produced per annum is planned at 3,9M oz which equates to 67 000 gold equivalent
ounces
– The average cost per ounce will run at approximately US$220/oz, net of silver credits
Re-engineered surface designs have led to:
– The tailings storage facility capacity being improved from 32 Mt to 43 Mt
– The waste dump’s design now complying with acid rock drainage and other environmental commitments
– The establishment of a low grade stockpile with a capacity of 7 Mt (0.8g/t – 1.3 g/t)
– Cost and schedule improvements in the Pihema creek diversion
– Site bulk earthworks being done in-house, costed and scheduled more accurately

WAFI - GOLPU
Highlights for the quarter
– Drilling progressed well at Golpu. Geotechnical data was collected and visible copper mineralisation is
present outside of the existing model at depth
– Notice of preparatory work and letter of intent have been submitted to the Department of Environment
and Conservation
– Environmental studies have commenced, with stream gauging stations installed and water quality
monitoring in progress
– Metallurgical test work indicates that 40% oxidation of sulphides gives 90% cyanidation gold recovery in
Wafi Link Zone
– Wafi project has been well defined in a study concept report, which is to be used as the key reference for
all parties involved with the study in the future
Work to be completed in the next quarter and beyond
Work to be completed will include:
– Continuation of drilling at Golpu using two drill rigs. Geotechnical data collection and the award of Golpu
mining study work will also be required
– Appointment of engineering consultant, and commencement of metallurgical test work and processing
plant design
– Continuation of environmental baseline monitoring
– Completion of a new model for Wafi non-refractory gold and for the Wafi Link Zone is to be undertaken
in-house
– Commencement of scoping studies for mining and processing of the Link Zone and non-refractory gold ore
Wafi-Golpu pre-feasibility study
The December quarter has seen significant progress being made in building up the data base that is necessary
for completion of the feasibility study. Continuation of the data gathering process and test work will be the
main focus of the study programme for the next two quarters. Most technical mining studies have been
planned to be completed during the second half of 2006.

planned to be completed during the second half of 2006.
Diamond drilling at Golpu progressed well, with two 800m holes completed, and a planned 450m hole drilled
to 220m at the end of the quarter. Drill core collected to date has provided valuable geotechnical data and
drill holes have also been used to collect hydrological data. Visual inspection of the core indicates that the
copper porphyry extends beyond current model boundaries at depth. However assays from the first hole
drilled are not expected until late in the March quarter.

Metallurgical test work of Wafi Link Zone ore continued throughout the month. The current testing
programme is concentrating on establishing the suitability of bio-leaching and the programme is delivering
encouraging results. Golpu Copper/Gold metallurgical test work is due to commence late in the March
quarter, once sufficient drill core is available to blend suitable composite samples which represent the
different ore zones present in the deposit. Road works on the Timini to Wafi Road were well advanced at the
end of the quarter.

Tshepong Mine
The shaft reached the safety milestone of 500 000 fatality free shifts on 5 October 2005.
After the CONOPS agreements were signed off by the company and the respective unions and associations,
Tshepong succeeded in redeploying all its CONOPS labour by mid-November. The efficient re-introduction
of CONOPS by the team contributed to an improvement of 11% in volumes. The recovery grade also
improved by 7% to 6.85 g/t compared to the 6.42 g/t of the previous quarter, which led to gold production
improving by 19% from 2 380 kg to 2 825 kg.

Masimong Mine
The mine achieved 1 000 000 fatality free shifts during January 2006.
With the phasing in of CONOPS, volumes increased by 12% to 232 000 tons. Grade however dropped by
6% to 4.7 g/t, which impacted negatively on the R/kg cost that went up to R96 573/kg. The Quality Mining
Audit Team has been deployed on the mine to assist with getting the recovered grade back to planned levels
which is around 5.5 g/t. The re-introduction of CONOPS will continue during the quarter and it is envisaged
that it should be completed by March 2006. Masimong made a profit of R5.9 million for the quarter.

For the quarter, capital expenditure amounted to R5.5 million and a total of 1 284m capital development was
achieved. This was an improvement in excess of 200m on the previous quarter’s achievement. The seasonal
change to summer has put environmental conditions under the spotlight and a consultant has been brought
in to look at current designs and optimise the available ventilation. A major water fissure was intersected on
1810 level and sealing operations have already started. It is anticipated that this process should take
approximately four weeks to complete.

Evander Region
It was encouraging to see that Evander 2 and 5 shaft turned from the previous loss-making position
(R12 million) to a profit of R12 million during this quarter. This was done on the back of improved
volumes (+11%), grade (+25%) and real costs reduced by 2%. Volumes on 7 and 8 shafts improved by 8%
and 7%, respectively. Total tons in the region for the quarter therefore went up from 374 000 tons to
402 000 tons, an improvement of 7.4%.

402 000 tons, an improvement of 7.4%.
Recovery grades also improved by 1% which resulted in the gold production going up by 9% to 2 524kg.
As stated in the previous reports it must be noted that 7 shaft has been mining in a very high grade pay shoot
area and that it was not sustainable. Mining in this pay shoot has now been completed and subsequent grades
will therefore be lower until such time that development has reached the next payshoot area.

Unit costs in R/kg terms came down by 3% to R72 021 and profit went up by 89% to R73.8 million.
Randfontein (Cooke Section)
Volumes were up by 5% from 345 000 tons to 362 000 tons. Recovery grades went up by 8% from 5.4g/t to
5.8 g/t which increased gold production by 13%, to 2 113kg. Cost in real terms came down from
R160.6 million to R154.7 million, a reduction of 4%. Unit costs came down by 15% from R85 767 to R73 207,
which increased profit by R48.4 million from R11.3 million in the previous quarter to R59.7 million in the
December quarter, demonstrating the high gearing that these operations have.

With the restructuring completed, major focus was placed on improving quality on these shafts. Volumes
improved by some 3%, but recovery grades had an improvement of more than 10%. This led to gold
production being up by 14% to 6 113 kg. Although real cost went up by 4%, unit cost in R/kg terms came
down by 10% to R90 074, giving our leveraged operations a profit margin of 14% taking the average gold
price received of R102 333. As a result of the improved volumes, grades and revenue received, a profit of
R76.0 million was realised compared to a loss of R45.8 million in the previous quarter.

ELANDSRAND NEW MINE PROJECT
Infrastructure
During the quarter the sinking and equipping of the No. 2 Service shaft progressed to within 13m of 102 level.
The civil construction of 115 level pump station was completed during the quarter, which allowed the
mechanical and electrical installation to begin. The raise boring of the 92 level turbine dam centre hole was
completed during the quarter and this now allows the sliping of the dam to start. The additional ore pass
(between 100 level and the existing ore pass system) has progressed well during the quarter. It is envisaged
that the linking between the rock pass systems of the old mine and the new mine will take place during the
next quarter. The rock loading system at 115 level has also been completely commissioned and has been
operational for the December quarter. The complete loading system on 115 level and shaft bottom spillage
arrangement has been completed and will be handed over to the mine during January 2006.

Access development
The progress on 109 level access development has been excellent during the quarter. An average advance of
90m per month has been achieved, on both the haulage and the return airway. The progress on 113 level has
been hindered by the amount of methane that has been intersected on a number of occasions from diamond
drilling holes. After discontinuing development on 113 level on 23 June 2005 due to a methane intersection,
the end was started again on 9 December 2005 after it had been declared safe to continue with operations.

The Australian operations generated an operating profit of A$8.5 million in the December quarter compared
to A$6.0 million in the previous quarter. Given that the production profile remained the same, this
improvement was a direct result of the 10% improvement in the gold price received per ounce in Australia
during the quarter. Delays in ramping up production at the St George underground at our Mt Magnet
operations, and lower production at Mt Marion underground at our South Kal Mines contributed to the
operation not achieving targeted production for the quarter. Capital expenditure decreased significantly from
A$12.7 million in the previous quarter to A$7.7 million in the current quarter, mainly as a result of a reduction
in expenditure on the St George underground mine, which has now been commissioned, as well as the
completion of the tailings dam lift at the Mt Magnet operations.

of 422 843 tonnes of ore in the September quarter. This resulted in a cash operating profit of A$5.4 million

Underground production increased from 18 940 ounces in the previous quarter to 21 647 ounces in the
current quarter, mainly as a result of additional ounces being produced by St George. 104 108 underground
tonnes were milled at 6.47 g/t in the quarter compared to 77 619 underground tonnes milled at 7.59 g/t in
the previous quarter. Full production at the St George underground was delayed until the middle of December
due to additional orebody definition work resulting in increased resource ounces for the first stoping level,
requirements for additional ground support in the crown pillar and delays in ventilation establishment. All of
these resulted in less ounces produced than forecast for the period. This problem has however been resolved
and it is expected that this will result in increased development and production rates from St George in the
March quarter. The drill programme of the Water Tank Hill lodes, which are accessible from the St George
underground is continuing, with 5 holes from a 12-hole phased programme completed with a number of
mineralised zones intersected at target positions. These results will be modelled and subjected to a feasibility
study in the March quarter. Depth extensions to the Northern lodes at St George which potentially could add
additional levels to the mine will also be subjected to a drill programme in the March quarter.

gas generators already in operation. This conversion will reduce milling unit costs by 13% going forward.

South Kal Mines (“SKM”)
Mt Marion underground mine at our South Kal operations achieved two years’ LTI free production shifts
during the December quarter, which is an exceptional performance for an underground operation. The
operation produced 23 239 ounces of gold in the quarter compared to 26 540 ounces in the September
quarter from the milling of 337 566 tonnes of ore.

operation produced 23 239 ounces of gold in the quarter compared to 26 540 ounces in the September
quarter from the milling of 337 566 tonnes of ore.
Ground stability problems due to increased stress levels within the lower stope access drives at Mt Marion
severely affected underground ore production in the quarter. Tonnage from underground was 103 430 tonnes
at 4.21 g/t compared to the previous quarter’s production of 130 145 tonnes at 3.99 g/t. It is expected that
these underground conditions will require increased ground support and drive rehabilitation activities going
forward, which will affect production. As planned decline development stopped during the quarter as the
economic depth limit has been reached, which will effectively put the mine in harvest mode and reduce
capital expenditure going forward.

Negotiations with the underground contract mining company which was initiated last quarter were
concluded during the quarter, with a new contract on the verge of being signed. The terms of the new
contract will result in an increase in underground mining costs going forward.

Jubilee plant has seen general improvements in reagent consumption as a result of the upgraded gravity
extraction unit which was installed in the previous quarter. Throughput rates however were reduced towards
the end of the quarter as a result of problems with the crushing circuit which resulted in unscheduled down
time. These problems have now been addressed.

Low grade stockpiled ore from various completed open pit mine areas is continuing to be trucked to the
Jubilee mill to provide blending options with the underground Mt Marion ore.

A process has been initiated which will investigate the feasibility of doing an additional cutback on the
HamptonBoulderJubilee (“HBJ”) pit. The pit which has been mined previously contains significant gold
resources which may be economical to mine in the current gold price environment. A recommendation on
whether to proceed with mining the pit or not will be made to the board in the June quarter.

Exploration work during the quarter at SKM focused on the Shirl prospect on Location 59. Reverse circulation
and diamond drilling was utilised to test the bedrock below shallow RAB/aircore intercepts, as reported in the
previous quarter and yielded some outstanding results:

The Main zone of mineralisation defined to date strikes northeast, dips to the northwest and is hosted in
differentiated gabbro. Continuity of mineralisation has been established over 250m of strike and to a vertical
depth of 140m below surface. Currently the Main zone is open along strike and at depth.

Drill intercepts have also highlighted potential for additional lodes sub-parallel with the Main zone and on
the western gabbro/ultramafic contact. However, infill drilling is required to increase confidence in the

Gold/GBS raising the necessary cash. GBS is planning to complete this raising in the North American capital
markets in early February 2006, with various technical and regulatory documents having already been filed
with the Canadian Regulatory Commissions. The Burnside JV continues to operate within budget, with recent
activities focused on care and maintenance activities for the Northern Territory wet season. Planning
activities will shortly turn to the handover of administration, accounting and tenement reporting activities
to Northern Gold/GBS.

NOTES TO THE RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2005
1.
Basis of accounting
The unaudited results for the quarter have been prepared using accounting policies that comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These consolidated quarterly statements are prepared
in accordance with IFRS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies are consistent with those
applied in the previous financial year, except for the adoption of the revised international accounting
standards forthcoming from the IAS improvements project and the changes which are described in
Notes 2 and 3.

standards forthcoming from the IAS improvements project and the changes which are described in
Notes 2 and 3.
2.
New accounting policies adopted
(a) Share-based Payments (IFRS 2)
On 1 July 2005, the Company adopted the requirements of IFRS 2, Share-based Payments. In
accordance with the transitional provisions, IFRS 2 has been applied to all grants of equity-settled
payments after 7 November 2002 that were unvested at 1 January 2005. The Company issues
equity-settled instruments to certain qualifying employees under an Employee Share Option
Scheme to purchase shares in the Company’s authorised but unissued ordinary shares. Equity share-
based payments are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the date of the grant.
The total fair value of the options granted is recorded as deferred share-based compensation as a
separate component of shareholders’ equity with a corresponding amount recorded as share
premium. The deferred share-based compensation is expensed over the vesting period, based on the
Company’s estimate of the shares that are expected to eventually vest. The Company used the
binominal option pricing model in determining the fair value of the options granted.

The impact of this adjustment on the net profit/(loss) is an expense of R63 million for the December
2005 year to date (December 2004 year to date: R30 million) (December 2005 quarter: R30 million)
(September 2005 quarter: R33 million) (December 2004 quarter: R19 million).

(b) Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease (IFRIC 4)
On 1 July 2005, the Company applied the requirements of IFRIC 4, Determining whether an
arrangement contains a lease. The objective of the interpretation is to determine whether an
arrangement contains a lease that falls within the scope of IAS 17, Leases. The lease is then
accounted in accordance with IAS 17. The application of the interpretation had no impact on the
results of the quarter or any prior reporting period.

3 . Change in accounting policy
(a) Capitalisation of mine development costs
Previously mine development costs were capitalised when the reef horizon was intersected.
Expenditure for all development that will give access to proven and probable ore reserves will now
be capitalised. Capitalised costs are amortised over the estimated life of the proven and probable
reserves to which the costs give access.
