·; Kalengwa metallurgical test work being carried out in South Africa and Zambia including separation and flotation test work

·; Review of the Company's corporate structure to facilitate new projects and their implementation

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman said: "The alluvial production at the Manica concession continues to be profitable for the Company and also provides the necessary cash flow whilst we develop the Fairbride Project in Mozambique as well as the Kalengwa Project in Zambia. The alluvials have provided positive cash flow on a monthly basis despite there being volatility in the gold yield, excess overburden removal or a combination of the two. At the same time, we have generally been quite cost efficient with matters under our control, which has assisted to maintain profitability during difficult operational periods.

We are pleased with all aspects of the Manica hard rock development as well as the initial results of the Kalengwa tailings test work and we will report the full set of results as soon as they are available. The Company has carried out several field reviews of the Matrix, Eureka and Kalengwa projects and have identified drilling targets for all properties.

We have reviewed our management structure and are making several changes to meet the requirements of the Company's aggressive production development and new exploration targets in Zambia."
