OVERVIEW

Dear shareholder
Safety

With deep regret we report that eight of our employees died in work-
related incidents during the second half of the 2005 financial year –
four related to the discontinued operations at our North West
Operations (“NWO”), compared with two during the first half. Our
Fatal Injury Frequency Rate (“FIFR”) from continuing operations

deteriorated from 0.16 in the first half to 0.70 in the second, our Lost
Time Injury Frequency Rate (“LTIFR”) from 5.43 to 10.88 and our
Reportable Injury Frequency Rate (“RIFR”) from 2.30 to 3.95.

Total operations had one less fatality in 2005 compared with 2004, but
given a decline in our total number of employees, the FIFR year on year
was unchanged at 0.25. While the RIFR for the year declined slightly
from 3.49 to 3.44, the LTIFR increased from 8.99 to 9.55.

The earthquake at NWO in South Africa in March 2005 undoubtedly
skewed our performance overall but these are disappointing results,
nonetheless. In our South African operations particularly, management,
employees and their representatives are looking afresh at issues such as
underground support standards and are re-gauging the effectiveness of
current training and orientation programs designed to create greater
awareness and achieve behavioural change.

Individually, some operations have achieved distinction during the year,
most notably our Blyvooruitzicht Gold Mining Company Limited
(“Blyvoor”) mine which won the West Rand Mine Managers’
Association Safety Competition for the seventh consecutive year.

PRODUCTION

The Group’s attributable production for the second half was 27% lower
than for the first at 325 065 ounces (10 109 kilograms). While this was
due mainly to the discontinuation of mining at the Buffelsfontein Gold
Mines Limited (“Buffelsfontein”) following the earthquake, a decline in
production from the Australasian operations for the period was also a
contributing factor.

AUSTRALASIAN OPERATIONS

Year on year, attributable production from the Australasian operations
was 36% higher at 317 134 ounces.This represents 56% of
DRDGOLD’s total production for the year if production from
discontinued operations is excluded. In essence, the weighting of the
Australasian operations in DRDGOLD’s production profile has
continued to grow.

Lower gold production has reflected in higher unit costs. For the
region, cash operating unit costs in the second half were 23% higher
than in the first at US$254 per ounce. At Tolukuma they were 18%
higher at US$367 per ounce; at Porgera, 25% higher at US$208 per
ounce; and at Emperor, 35% higher at US$507 per ounce. Rising fuel
costs which have impacted on power generation, logistics and other
consumables have been a compounding common factor for all three
operations.

SOUTH AFRICAN OPERATIONS

Attributable production from continuing operations was less than 1%
lower in the second half at 125 485 ounces, reflecting a pleasing degree
of stabilisation resulting from the restructuring process that continued for
the whole of the 2005 financial year. Production from the these
operations, year on year, was 24% lower at 251 902 ounces due to the
restructuring.

CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS

We have reported extensively in recent weeks on our two most

significant corporate developments during the half year:

– the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) regarding

the next steps in our Black Economic Empowerment (“BEE”)

relationship with Khumo Bathong Holdings (Pty) Limited (“KBH”); and

– our financial and management assistance package to Emperor.

THE WAY FORWARD

The 2005 financial year has been one of the toughest in DRDGOLD’s

recent history. It was disappointing – and for a while discouraging – to

witness the deleterious impact of two major extraneous factors on our

plans for the Company’s growth and development ambitions. Here, we

refer to the Rand strength/Rand gold price weakness combination and

to the devastating earthquake which precipitated our struggling NWO

into provisional liquidation.

This was our 110th year in business however, and we would simply not
have survived this long had it been in our nature as a corporate entity
to simply ‘give up’. We have long characterized ourselves as the
‘turnaround’ experts, fixing or as a last resort, closing, mature gold
mining operations that the more faint-hearted had long since
abandoned. More recently we’ve argued that we do what we say, even
when it is unpleasant and what some people want neither to witness
nor hear.

The restructuring of our South African operations was unpleasant and
tested to the extreme our relationships with many of our key
stakeholders. But we are now a whole lot more confident, not only
about these operations surviving the macro economic environment of
which they are part, but indeed, about their holding their own well into
the future.

We rank among few in the South African gold mining industry to have
announced ore replacement strategies recently – specifically, the No 2
Sub-Shaft Project and extensions to the surface retreatment project at
Blyvoor, and underground exploration at East Rand Proprietary Mines
Limited (“ERPM”) of the contiguous Sallies property. We’re optimistic,
too, of further brownfields opportunities provided we continue to
manage current mine planning and costs as tightly as we have in the
2005 financial year. What better time then to extend our relationship
with our BEE partner, and get back on track as a serious player in the
South African gold mining industry for the duration.

We could have hoped, given the difficulties faced by our South
African business during the year, that our Australasian interests had
not come somewhat ‘off the boil’ in the second half but such is life.
As the South African operations have been restored to rights, we
have been able to redirect financial and human resources to
Australasia, building our support systems there just when they are
needed. Already – at Emperor’s Vatukoula mine in Fiji, particularly –
the difference is being felt.

In summary then, we have entered the 2006 financial year in much
better shape – materially and psychologically – than we entered the
2005 financial year. From past events we have learned never to be
sanguine, but the 2006 financial year is at least starting on a better base.

DR PASEKA NCHOLO

MARK WELLESLEY-WOOD

Non-Executive Chairman

Chief Executive Officer

25 August 2005

What happened to cash operating unit costs during the second half

vindicates our restructuring activity; for the South African operations

as a whole, they dropped 18% from the first half to US$407 per

ounce.There is little doubt that, had we not acted how we did when

we did, the South African operations would not have survived.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As has been previously reported, Buffelsfontein, a wholly owned
subsidiary of DRDGOLD went into provisional liquidation on 22 March
2005.The loss from the discontinued operations amounted to R291.1
million for the financial year ending 30 June 2005.

The Company has agreed to abide by the directives issued by the
South African Department of Water Affairs and Forestry, in terms of
which the Company, Stilfontein, Harmony and AngloGold Ashanti are
to equally share the costs of the dewatering, as well as the costs of
the continued operation and maintenance of all infrastructure
associated with any aspect of management of the water impacting
upon the relevant mines/shafts of Buffelsfontein until 31 October
2005.The commitment on behalf of the Company amounts to
approximately R1.8 million per month.

FINANCIALS

The Group’s cash operating profit from continuing operations for the

second half was 7% higher than in the first at R157.1 million and 3%

higher year on year at R304.5 million.These results reflect steady

recovery of our South African operations as a whole that has
followed, particularly during the second half, from the radical
restructuring we have conducted and a comparatively sound
performance overall from our Australasian operations as a whole –
and from Porgera in particular.

While the average US$ gold price received year on year was 8%
higher at US$423 per ounce, the ravages of Rand strength are
revealed in the average Rand gold price received – more than 2%
down at R84 690 per kilogram. In the second half, the average US$
price received was almost 2% higher than in the first half at US$428
per ounce; and fortuitously, a moderate weakening in the Rand
resulted in an increase of more than 2% in the average Rand gold
price received to R85 771 per kilogram.This was still lower, though,
than the average for the 2004 financial year of R86 788.

Group cash operating costs year on year were 9% higher at US$375
per ounce, the benefits of the South African restructuring becoming
apparent from the containment of the cash operating cost increase in
the second half to little more than 1% compared with the first half.
Were it not for a 23% increase in cash operating costs for the
Australasian operations as a whole, half-year on half-year, and the
residual impact of the NWOs’ high costs, we would have done even
better.

Net operating profit from continuing operations was 34% higher at

R41.2 million for the six months ending 30 June 2005 compared to the

previous six months ending 31 December 2004. The loss before

taxation of R140 million included a loss of R127.4 million from
associates. The loss from associates represents an impairment of
DRDGOLD’s 45.33% investment in Emperor down to A$0.28c per
share.

Shareholders’ equity increased from R428.1 million to R627.1 million

and the current ratio increased from 0.84 to 1.45. During the six

months ending 30 June 2005 the Eskom ‘gold for electricity’ contract

was closed out. Cash and cash equivalents increased to R241.2 million

from R143.1 million as at 31 December 2004.Your attention is drawn

to the withdrawal by KPMG Inc. of the emphasis of matter as per our

interim financial report which we filed with the United States

Securities and Exchange Commission on 2 June 2005.

The condensed consolidated financial statements below are prepared in accordance with South African Statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (SA GAAP) and have not been audited or reviewed by our auditors.The accounting policies are, in all material respects, consistent with those used to prepare the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2004.

NEW FINANCE DIRECTOR FOR DRDGOLD

DRDGOLD is pleased to announce the appointment of John Sayers as the company’s new Finance
Director (“FD”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) with effect from 5 September 2005. In the former capacity, he becomes an Executive Director of DRDGOLD.

Sayers (59) takes over the roles of FD and CFO from Ian Murray, who has served as the company’s
Finance Director since 2000. After ensuring a smooth handover to Sayers, Murray will focus on his role as DRDGOLD’s Corporate Development Officer, primarily in the Australasian region. He will continue to serve as an Executive Director of DRDGOLD.

Sayers brings to DRDGOLD almost 40 years of financial experience, most recently as Financial
Director of Nampak Limited (1996-2004) and, immediately prior to that, as Financial Director of Altron Limited (1989-1996).

His role in DRDGOLD will be to focus on further strengthening financial systems and preparing the
Group for proposed accounting changes, such as International Financial Reporting Standards, over the next few years.

Commenting on the appointment, DRDGOLD Chairman Paseka Ncholo said, “We are pleased to have
secured the services of someone with John’s depth of experience and look forward to his contributing to DRDGOLD’s drive to stay ahead of the challenges facing the gold mining sector, particularly in a South African context.”

‘Steady, post-restructuring recovery at SA operations’

7% INCREASE IN OPERATING PROFIT; COST INCREASES CONTAINED

Johannesburg, South Africa. 25 August 2005. DRDGOLD Limited (JSE: DRD; NASDAQ:
DROOY; ASX: DRD; POM SoX: DRD) today reported a 7% increase in Group cash
operating profit to R157.1 million for the second half of FY05.

DRDGOLD CEO Mark Wellesley-Wood said that this result, together with a 3% increase year
on year to R304.5 million, reflected both a steady recovery of the company’s South African
operations from “radical, largely Rand-induced restructuring” and a comparatively sound
performance overall from its Australian operations.

“While past events have taught us never to be sanguine, we have entered FY06 in much
better shape – materially and psychologically – than we entered FY05,” he said.

Although the average US Dollar gold price received year on year was 8% higher at US$423
per ounce, the ravages of Rand strength were revealed in the average Rand gold price
received in FY05 – more than 2% down at R84 690 per kilogram, Wellesley-Wood
commented.

In the second half, the average US Dollar price received was almost 2% higher than in the
first half at US$428 per ounce and, ‘fortuitously’, a moderate weakening in the Rand resulted
in an increase of more than 2% in the average Rand gold price received to R85 771 per
kilogram.

“This was still lower, however, than the average for FY04 of R86 788 per kilogram.”

While Group cash operating costs year on year were 9% higher at US$375 per ounce, the
benefits of the African restructuring were apparent from the containment of the cash
operating cost increase in the second half to little more than 1% compared with the first half,
Wellesley-Wood said.

“Were it not for a 23% increase in cash operating costs for the Australasian operations as a
whole half-year on half-year, and the residual impact of the discontinued North West
Operations’ high costs, we would have done even better.”

Page 2 of 3

Although net operating profit for the second half of FY05 was 34% higher at R41.2 million, an
impairment of R127.4 million on DRDGOLD’s 45.33% investment in Emperor to A$0.28c per
share was the major contributor to a R140.0 million pre-tax loss.

“We could have hoped, given the difficulties faced by our South African business during the
year, that our Australasian interests had not come somewhat ‘off the boil’ in the second half.

“However, as the South African operations have been restored to rights, we have been able
to redirect financial and human resources to Australasia, building our support systems there
just when they are needed.

“Specifically, we have bolstered our Brisbane office with the re-location of Michael Marriott
from South Africa as our Chief Operating Officer in Australasia, joining Divisional Director
Richard Johnson and Financial Manager André Labuschagne, and we have appointed
Sandra Spencer as Human Resources Manager. At Emperor’s Vatukoula Mine, Sean
O’Connor from South Africa has become General Manager as part of the finance and
operating support package we announced recently.

The difference is being felt already,” Wellesley-Wood said.

Shareholders’ equity increased to R627.1 million in the second half of FY05 compared with
R428.1 million in the first half, and the current ratio from 0.84 to 1.45. Cash and cash
equivalents increased from R143.1 million to R241.2 million.
