DRD to pay first dividend in 107 years

By Matthew Jones
Financial Times
June 19, 2002

Durban Roodepoort Deep, South Africa's fourth-largest
gold miner, confirmed on Wednesday it would pay the
first dividend in its 107-year history when it reports
full-year earnings next month.

The statement came as the company said it was
seeking a full listing on the Australian stock exchange,
raising speculation that it may be planning acquisitions
in Australia.

Mark Wellesley-Wood, chairman of DRD, told the
Financial Times the company was back on track after
a quot;tumultuous yearquot; of sweeping management changes
and litigation.

The group's intention to pay a dividend was definite
and earnings were improving after winding down the
gold hedge book and paying down debt.

quot;The dividend is now in the budget and we will be
making a statement on future dividend policy next
month,quot; he added.

DRD has in the past had a reputation for high
operating costs, poor gold hedging, and poor
corporate governance.....

Wellesley-Wood said the group had wound down its
hedge book, making it one of the most highly-geared
roducers to the gold price. He added that it was expected
to gain approval this week for a full listing on the
Australian stock exchange, raising expectations that it
may be planning paper acquisitions there.

Wellesley-Wood declined to confirm whether acquisitions
were planned in Australia but said the group was looking
to grow through a mixture of mine purchases and the
development of existing assets.

quot;We are not aiming to get big for the sake of it but will
continue our strategy of buying cheap assets that other
producers consider non-core,quot; he added....

Golden Star's AMEX specialist will be LaBranche amp; Co. LLC.

Peter Bradford, president and chief executive officer of

for the company and our shareholders. This could not have
happened at a better time for Golden Star as the whole gold
sector is getting a lot more support and Golden Star has
just emerged from several years of successful restructuring
and consolidation, which have resulted in a much stronger
company with robust revenue, earnings, and development
opportunities.quot;

shares on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board under the
