Main balance sheet movements for the quarter ended 31 March 2006 were as follows :

  • An increase in property, plant and equipment due to the development of Phase 2 at Loulo, including work on the crushing plant.

  • The increase in financial liabilities relating to forward gold sales reflects an increase in the negative marked-to-market valuation of contracts held at 31 March 2006.  The impact is due to the sharp rise in the gold price, which was US$582 at 31 March 2006.

  • The increase in taxation payable relates to income taxes at Morila following the end of the five year tax holiday in November 2005.
