Rand Refinery Dispute Update

Further to its announcement of 4 April 2017, Goldplat wishes to announce that it has issued an application out of the High Court of South Africa, Gauteng Local Division, Johannesburg, for the recovery of the fees due, owing and payable by Rand Refinery (Pty) Limited to Goldplat Recovery (Pty) Limited.

Gerard Kisbey-Green, CEO of Goldplat commented: "We are disappointed that we have been unsuccessful in our efforts to resolve this dispute without reverting to legal action, but we remain confident of full recovery of the amounts owed to Goldplat Recovery (Pty) Limited. The Company will keep shareholders informed of progress."

"Notwithstanding this action, the Company reiterates its announcement of 27 July 2017 where we highlighted that Goldplat has traded above market expectations for the year ended 30 June 2017, and accordingly it remains "business as usual" despite this dispute.  The Company will be publishing its annual financial results in September 2017."
