              Casmyn Corp. Announces Bankruptcy Court Approval
                     to Distribute Disclosure Statement


     Agoura Hills, California, February 10, 2000 -- Casmyn Corp. (the
"Company") (OTCBB:  CMYN) announced that on February 3, 2000, the United
States Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California, San Fernando Valley
Division, approved the Second Amended Disclosure Statement Describing
Debtor's Second Amended Plan of Reorganization (the "Disclosure Statement")
and authorized the distribution of documents to both creditors and common and
preferred shareholders for purposes of voting on the Debtor's Second Amended
Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan").

     The Official Unsecured Creditors Committee recommends the Plan and that
other creditors and shareholders vote to accept the Plan.  Ballots must be
received by March 17, 2000 and the confirmation hearing for the Plan has been
set for March 31, 2000.

     The Plan contemplates an equity recapitalization that will result in the
conversion into common stock of substantially all of the Company's debt and
all of the outstanding preferred stock.  The Company's gold mining operations
in Zimbabwe are owned by separate subsidiary companies which are not a part
of the Chapter 11 filing and are continuing to conduct business as usual.

     Copies of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement and other solicitation
materials are available at www.wsilaw.com.  Creditors and shareholders may
contact Richard Wynne, the Company's bankruptcy counsel, in Los Angeles,
California, at Wynne Spiegel Itkin, 310-551-1015, by fax at 310-551-3059, or
