Company Press Release
Johannesburg, South Africa, April 6 -- Durban Roodepoort Deep
Ltd. has increased its stake in leading Internet-based gold
marketing company GoldMoney.com to 14 percent with a further
investment of US$1.8 million.
GoldMoney has enjoyed record growth since DRD announced
its initial investment of US$200 000 (1.4 percent) in January
this year, said founder James Turk, the well-known and
internationally respected authority on gold.
"Our customer base rose by more than 20 percent in the first
quarter of 2004 to 12,000 worldwide, and we increased our
holding of physical gold by 51 percent, from 66 LBMA good
delivery bars to 100.
"It is pleasing that, since South African-based DRD came on
board as a GoldMoney shareholder, all of the LBMA bars
added to our system have been sourced from South Africa's
Rand Refinery.
"There is now more than US$17 million of gold circulating as
digital currency within GoldMoney," Turk said.
DRD CEO Ian Murray said: "GoldMoney's success in recent
months shows that, at the outset, we were right in identifying
it as a suitable vehicle for fulfilling our belief in gold as
money and as a means of encouraging private ownership in gold.
"Increasing our stake was the next, logical step, and we look
forward to continued growth and diversification in GoldMoney's
activities in the months ahead."
