DURBAN ROODEPOORT DEEP

At the meeting of Durban Roodepoort Deep Mr. W. H. A. Lawrence explained that the reduction of Is. 'rd. per ton in the working costs had made it possible to include a substantial amount of lower grade ore in the payable reserves, so that available reserves had been increased during the year by 617,500 tons. He announced that the combined crushing capacity of Durban Deep and Roodepoort United was 12o,000 tons per month, and that extensions were in contemplation.
