JOHANNESBURG (Dow Jones) -- Roger Kebble, the deputy
chairman and executive director of South African gold
miner Durban Roodepoort Deep Ltd. (DROOY), has been
suspended from his executive director position, a

to carry out these duties, the source said.

Business Report''s story on S. Africa''s exclusion of Durban CEO

Section: Daily Dispatches

8:26p ET Sunday, March 3, 2002

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Here's another report about South Africa's
expulsion of Durban Roodeport Deep CEO
Mark Wellesley-Wood, from www.News24.com.
With all the political polemicism here, I
suppose that one has to read between the
lines, but in any case this seems likely
to discourage foreign investment in South
Africa and to make things harder for that

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- The price of gold is trying
to keep its head above $300, with little success. Yet shares of
the riskiest gold mining companies, the so-called junior
exploration companies, are at their highest points since late 1999.

News24 report on South Africa''s expulsion of Durban CEO

Section: Daily Dispatches

5:10p ET Sunday, March 3, 2002

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

MiningWeb.com has determined that the German central
bank official whose remark about selling more gold
spooked the gold market the other day went out of his
way to make his point.

This, MiningWeb.com, gives credence to the complaint
that central banks are in league to keep the gold price
down.
