The March estimate is based on an exchange rate of R/USD7.45 and USD/AUD0.90 compared with R/USD7.49 and USD/AUD0.91 achieved in the December quarter. NCE is estimated at USD950 per ounce (R228,000 per kilogram) compared with USD900 per ounce (R216,830 per kilogram) in the December quarter. The above is subject to the forward looking statement.
