JOHANNESBURG (Dow Jones)--South African gold miner DRDGold Ltd. (DROOY) Wednesday said majority-owned Emperor Mines Ltd. (EMP.AU) has closed out its gold forward-sell hedge book for a total of $34.2 million. The hedge book of 145,695 troy ounces was closed at a spot price of $670 an ounce, and ANZ Bank has agreed to defer the settlement of the amount until Dec. 31 after the receipt of funds from the sale of Emperor's stake in the Porgera joint venture. The deferral facility attracts an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.7% margin, also payable on settlement in December. Emperor Chief Executive Brad Gordon said that closing out of the hedge book was a major step in the company's strategy to reduce all debt and hedge liabilities following the restructure of the company, announced earlier in the year. "The Porgera transaction has provided a unique opportunity for the company to free itself from significant debt and hedge obligations in order to more aggressively pursue opportunities for the future," Gordon said.
