Need some clarification.

Premier Gateway International (PGI) and Phumelela Gold International Limited.

Is two different entities?

Tabcorp took over Premier Gateway International when Phumelela went into business rescue.

So Phumelela does have an overseas arm called, Phumelela Gold International Limited and that's where it profits from Premier Gateway International was going? Why it was not sold to pay its creditors a better dividend.

At least Gold Circle got something from its venture in Premier Gateway International.
