I did the sums wrong! Anglo gets R1.3bn for its shares, not R600m.

Also the right to use Dries infrastructure to start a new ultra-deep mine. "Thompson said the two parties had reached a tacit agreement ensuring that Anglogold could move on Western Ultra Deep Levels from Driefontein infrastructure. Driefontein retains participation rights in Western Ultra Deep Levels."

It is this new deep level mine that Anglo was after. Dries was simply the means to that end. Furthermore, Goldfields payment for the Dries shares will pay for that mine, plus whatever. Anglo always wins.

I don't think AngloGold will want to come back into Goldfields. I'm sure that was basic to the deal --- Anglo gets out altogether --- and stays out.
