Legal update
Johannesburg, South Africa. 18 July, 2005. DRDGOLD Limited (JSE: DRD;
NASDAQ: DROOY; ASX: DRD; POM SoX: DRD)
, today re-iterated that there are
four nearly identical class actions filed against it and two of its officers in New York, and
not nine as has been reported in some instances.

Eventually, the four actions are expected to be consolidated into a single litigation.

The filing of duplicative class actions in alleged securities fraud matters is commonplace
in the United States, and is part of the process of selecting a "lead plaintiff" and "lead
counsel" in such actions.

DRDGold denies the charges of alleged illegal conduct in the putative class action
complaints and intends to vigorously defend against the case once it is served with legal
process.

The company will not separately announce the filing of new complaints which are
duplicative of the four complaints already filed in the United States.
