RECORDALS

        It is recorded that -

Daun Et Cie A.G. and Khumo Bathong Holdings (Pty) Limited ("KBH"), acting on
behalf of the Sellers, concluded an agreement with the Purchaser on 5 September
2002 ("the Heads of Agreement") in terms of which the latter purchased the
Shares and Shareholders' Claims, which agreement expressed the intention that a
formal agreement would be entered into by 8 October 2002 to expand upon the
Heads of Agreement to the extent deemed prudent to do so.

Subject to the parties concluding this agreement on the terms and conditions
herein contained, the Purchaser is satisfied with the due diligence
investigation ('the due diligence") conducted by it pursuant to the Heads of
Agreement. The condition precedent therein pertaining to the due diligence
investigation is accordingly deemed to have been fulfilled.

<Page>

                                                                          Page 4

The Sellers are between them the owners of the Shares and Shareholders' Claims.

The parties now conclude this agreement, being the formal agreement contemplated
in the Heads of Agreement, and this Agreement shall supersede the Heads of
Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

SALE OF SHARES AND CLAIMS

     Subject to fulfilment of the suspensive condition contained in clause 6
     below ("the condition"), the Sellers hereby sell the Shares and
     Shareholders' Claims to the Purchaser, who hereby purchases same.

PURCHASE PRICE

The purchase price payable by the Purchaser to the Sellers for -

the Shares, is R2,00 (TWO RAND);

the Shareholders' Claims, is R100 000 000,00 (ONE HUNDRED MILLION RAND).

It is recorded that the purchase price herein stipulated is R30 000 000,00
(THIRTY MILLION RAND) less than that provided for in the Heads of Agreement, by
virtue of -

the due diligence having brought to the Purchaser's attention various aspects of
the Company's affairs, by virtue of which the Purchaser requires a diminution of
the purchase price in the amount of R40 000 000,00 (FORTY MILLION RAND);

the "Courthiel working capital loan" of R10 000 000 (TEN MILLION RAND) referred
to in paragraph 4 of the Heads of Agreement, which was therein excluded from the
Shareholders' Loans thereby sold, now being included and forming part of the
Shareholders' Loans hereby sold,

          hence the parties have agreed to a net reduction in the purchase price
          of R30 000 000 (THIRTY MILLION RAND).

<Page>

                                                                          Page 5

PAYMENT

Notwithstanding the condition, the Purchaser shall pay R60 000 00,00 (SIXTY
MILLION RAND) of the purchase price to Daun Et Cie A.G. on behalf of the Sellers
within 3 (THREE) days of date of signature of this agreement and against
delivery of the documents of title as provided in 7 below.

The said sum is deemed a loan to the Sellers, interest free pending or failing
fulfilment of the condition, secured by the pledge of the Shares and cession to
the Purchaser IN SERCURITAM DEBITI of the Shareholders' Claims as referred to in
5.3 below. Upon fulfilment of the condition the said sum shall be deemed to be
paid to the Sellers on account of the purchase price. Should the condition not
be fulfilled or should this agreement be terminated for any other reason
whatsoever, then the loan shall immediately become due and payable to the
Purchaser.

Each of the Sellers by their signatures hereto, hereby pledges its Shares in and
cedes its Shareholders' Claims against the Company to the Purchaser in SECUITAM
DEBITI (hereinafter referred to in this clause as "the Securities") for the
repayment to the Purchaser of the sum of R60 000 000 (SIXTY MILLION RAND) if and
when such sum becomes repayable for any reason whatsoever. Should the said sum
become repayable and the Sellers fail to repay same within 14 (FOURTEEN) days of
notice calling upon them to them to do so, the Purchaser shall be entitled,
without first obtaining an order of court, to cause all or any of the Securities
to be sold either by public auction or private treaty, as the Purchaser in its
sole and absolute discretion deems fit, and to convey valid title in the
securities to any purchaser thereof, and to apply the net proceeds of such sale
towards the Sellers' indebtedness, for which purpose it may use the share
transfer forms referred to in 7.2.2.

As to the balance of the purchase price of R40 000 000,00 (FORTY MILLION RAND)
KHUMO BATHONG HOLDINGS (PTY) LIMITED ("KBH") shall use its best endeavours to
procure a loan to it of R40 000 000,00 (FORTY MILLION RAND) from the Industrial
Development Corporation ("IDC") by not later than 30 November 2002, wherewith to
pay to the Sellers the balance of the purchase price. KBH shall not be obliged
to offer or provide security in any form for such loan, but will otherwise do
everything reasonably required to successfully apply for and prosecute such
application and to obtain such loan. The said sum shall be payable by the
Purchaser to the Sellers immediately it is advanced by IDC to KBH and upon
fulfilment of the condition, that is to say upon the later of these two events.

                                                                          Page 6

Should KBH be unsuccessful in procuring the aforesaid loan, the said balance of
R40 000 000,00 (FORTY MILLION RAND) of the purchase price will be paid to DAUN
ET CIE A.G. on behalf of the Sellers, 12 (TWELVE) months after the date of
signature of this Agreement.

No interest shall accrue or be payable on the balance of the purchase price at
any time.

SUSPENSIVE CONDITION

The sale of the Shares and Shareholders' Claims is subject to the suspensive
condition that the Competition Commission established in accordance with
provisions of the Competition Act No. 89 of 1998 approves this transaction
insofar as is required by law.

The parties reciprocally warrant in favour of each other that they will in good
faith use their best endeavours to fulfil the condition as soon as reasonably
possible, and to this end they shall do all things, including to supply such
information and execute such documentation as may be reasonably required in
order to bring about the fulfilment of the condition.

Those aspects of this agreement whose operation is expressly or by necessary
implication not suspended pending fulfilment of the condition, shall be carried
out by the parties timeously and expeditiously.

Should the condition not be fulfilled, then and in such event the sale of the
Shares and Shareholders' claims shall ipso facto be and become null and void AB
INITIO and the parties shall be obliged to restore each other, as reciprocal
obligations, as near as possible to the status quo ante as at the date of
signature of this agreement, subject to the pledge of the Shares and cessions of
the Shareholders' claims in SECURITAM DEBITI and other surviving provisions of
this agreement.

All costs of and in connection with the application to the Competition
Commission for approval of this transaction, shall be borne and paid by the
Sellers and the Purchaser in equal shares.

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS OF TITLE

     As soon after date of signature as is practical and against payment of the
     sum referred to in 5.1, the Sellers shall deliver -

                                                                          Page 7

to the Purchaser, a resolution passed by the Company acknowledging and agreeing
to the cessions referred to in 5.3 above;

to the Purchaser's auditors, ________who shall retain same in trust as the
Purchaser's agent in perfection of the pledge and pending the closing date
(whereupon they shall hand same to the Purchaser) -

the original share certificates in respect of all of the Shares;

appropriate share transfer forms in respect of each of the said certificates,
signed by the registered owners thereof, in negotiable form and undated, with
appropriate authority to insert the appropriate date therein;

written and signed resignations of each of the present directors of the Company,
with appropriate authority to date same on the closing date;

a resolution duly passed by the Company -

approving the sale and transfer of the Shares in terms of this agreement;

accepting the resignations of the existing directors and the appointment of the
Purchaser's nominees as directors; and

acknowledging and agreeing to the outright cession and assignment of the
Shareholders' Claims to the Purchaser as contemplated by this agreement,

               all with effect from the closing date.

OWNERSHIP, POSSESSION AND DELIVERY

For avoidance of doubt, ownership of the Shares shall only pass to the Purchaser
on the closing date, but thereupon retrospectively to the effective date upon
which date all risks and benefits in and to the Shares shall be deemed to have
passed to the Purchaser.

The Purchaser assumed full management control of the operations of the Company
on 9 September 2002 pursuant to the Heads of Agreement, and in so doing took
possession of all the

                                                                          Page 9

MANAGEMENT DURING THE INTERIM PERIOD

Between the effective date and the closing date, DRD shall manage the operations
of the Company on the terms contained in the Management Agreement annexed hereto
marked "A". Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Management
Agreement, DRD shall be entitled but not obliged to fulfil any further
obligations or functions in terms of the Management Agreement in the event of
non fulfilment of the condition, until such time as the loan by DRD to the
Company together with interest thereon has been repaid in full, and full
restitution has been made to the Purchaser in terms of 6.4 above.

The Purchaser shall be entitled during the interim period to provide or procure
loans to the Company for its working capital requirements and necessary capital
expenditure, on such terms as the Purchaser is able, and subject to the
provision by the Company of such security as may be acceptable to the lender,
and the Sellers undertake to pass such Resolutions of the Company as may be
necessary to give effect hereto, including the waiver of notice of meetings
required to be convened for such purpose, forthwith upon being required to do so
by the Purchaser.

ENVIRONMENTAL REHABILITATION

The Purchaser shall procure that the Company shall bear all responsibility of
whatsoever nature for the statutory environmental obligations relating to the
rehabilitation of the mining properties of the Company (whether as envisaged
under Chapter VI of the Minerals Act No 50 of 1991, as amended, or otherwise),
including all obligations to furnish guarantees and the like to the Department
of Minerals and Energy affairs, the Sellers to be free of all obligation in this
regard;

The Sellers shall procure that all funds held in the Enderbrooke Trust Fund,
being the Fund established for the purposes of rehabilitation aforesaid, shall
be transferred to The Crown Rehabilitation Trust Fund, and the Sellers shall
bear the obligation to obtain all approvals required for this purpose, be they
from South African Revenue Authorities, Department of Minerals and Energy, or
whomsoever.

owner of the number of the Shares registered in the Company Register in its
name, that it is entitled and able to give to the Purchaser free and
unencumbered title to such Shares and to that portion of the Shareholders'
Claims as belongs to it, and that no person will have any right (including inter

Shareholders' Claims against the Company, present or future.

1. DURATION

This agreement shall commence on 8 October 2002 and endure for an initial fixed
period of 2 (two) years, until 2 October 2004, whereafter it will be

   1.1. by either party on 6 (six) months written notice given prior to 7

<Page>

                                                                         Page 20

provided that ERPM shall not be entitled to terminate this agreement foras long
as ERPM is indebted to DRD for any cause of indebtedness whatsoever; and

    (a) as long as it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Crown Gold Recoveries
        (Pty) Ltd ("CROWN") and DRD has a 40% shareholding in the latter company
        through Crown Consolidated Gold Recoveries Ltd; and
    (b) for as long as DRD is financially committed to ERPM or on behalf of ERPM
        or on behalf of ERPM to third parties.

In the event of the proposed sale agreement of shares in ERPM to CROWN not being
implemented, ERPM shall be entitled to cancel this agreement at any time on 3
(three) months written notice, provided that ERPM repays DRD all outstanding

   2.2. ERPM acknowledges that it is aware that DRD acts in the same or similar
        capacity for other companies and agrees that DRD shall be entitled to

               requested.

5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

<Page>

                                                                         Page 22

   Neither DRD nor its directors or employer shall be responsible for any
   liability, loss or damage suffered or incurred by ERPM, its employees,
   agents, contractors, invitees, guests or any other persons whosoever, whether
   or not such liability, loss or damage is caused or incurred through or as a
   result of any act or omission or the negligence of DRD, its employees or
   agents, or otherwise howsoever, and ERPM hereby indemnifies and holds
   harmless DRD against any claim by any such employee, agent, contractor,
   invitee guest or other person and all legal costs which may be incurred by or
   awarded against DRD in respect of or arising out of such claim.

6. FORCE MAJEURE

   6.1. If DRD is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by "force majeure" to
        carry out any obligation under this agreement, DRD shall give prompt
        notice to ERPM of such force majeure with full particulars thereof and
        insofar as known the probable extent to which it will be unable to
        perform or be delayed in performing such obligation, whereupon such
        obligation of DRD shall be suspended so far as it is affected by such
        force majeure during but not longer than the continuance thereof. In the
        event of a substantial and material portion of DRD's obligations being
        so suspended for a period exceeding 6 (six) months, either party shall
        be entitled to terminate this agreement upon 30 (thirty) days written
        notice.

   6.2. For the purpose of 6.1, "force majeure" shall mean an act of God,
        strike, lock-out, act of public enemy, war (declared or undeclared),
        blockade, revolution, riot, insurrection, civil commotion, lightning,
        fire, storm, flood, explosion, governmental act or restraint, embargo,
        unavailability of equipment or transport and other cause whether of a
        kind specifically set out above or otherwise, which is not reasonably
        within the control of DRD and whether of a temporary or permanent
        nature.

7. ARBITRATION

   7.1. Any dispute arising out of this Agreement or the interpretation thereof,
        both while in force and after its termination, shall be submitted to and
        determined by arbitration. Any party may demand arbitration by notice in
        writing to the other parties. Such arbitration shall be held in
        Johannesburg unless otherwise agreed to in writing and shall be held in
        a summary manner with a view to it being completed as soon as possible.

   7.2. There shall be 1 (one) arbitrator who shall be, where the question and
        issue is:

               accountant of 10 (ten) years standing;

        7.2.2. primarily a legal matter, a practising Senior Counsel; or

        7.2.3. primarily a technical matter, a suitably qualified person.

   7.3. The appointment of the arbitrator shall be agreed upon between the
        parties in writing but, failing agreement between them, within a period
        of 14 (fourteen) days after the arbitration has been demanded in terms
        of clause 7.1, any party shall be entitled to request the President for
        the time being of the Law Society of the Northern Provinces to make the
        appointment and, in making his appointment, to have regard to the nature
        of the dispute.

   7.4. The arbitrator shall have the powers conferred upon an arbitrator under
        the Arbitration Act 1965 (as amended), but shall not be obliged to
        follow the procedures prescribed in that Act and shall be entitled to
        decide on such procedures as he may consider desirable for the speedy
        determination of the dispute, and in particular he shall have the sole
        and absolute discretion to determine whether and to what extent it shall
        be necessary to file pleadings, make discovery of documents or hear oral
        evidence.

   7.5. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties
        and may be made an order of any court of competent jurisdiction. The
        parties hereby submit themselves to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
        the Witwatersrand Local Division of the High Court of South Africa, or
        any successor thereto, should any Party wish to make the arbitrator's
        decision an order of that Court.
