CONSOLIDATION OF THE OFFSHORE OPERATIONS OF DRDGOLD INTO EMPEROR

MINES LIMITED (“EMPEROR”) AND WITHDRAWAL OF CAUTIONARY

ANNOUNCMENT

1.

INTRODUCTION

Shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcements dated 29 September 2005 and
27 October 2005.

QuestCo (Pty) Limited is authorised to announce that DRDGOLD has concluded a sale and
purchase agreement with Emperor, in terms of which Emperor will acquire DRDGOLD’s
wholly owned subsidiary, DRD (Isle of Man) Limited (“DRDIoM”), which in turn holds
DRDGOLD’s Papua New Guinea (“PNG”) assets, comprising a 20% interest in the Porgera
Mines Joint Venture, a 100% interest in the Tolukuma Gold Mine and all of DRDGOLD’s
exploration tenements in PNG (“the gold assets”) (“the transaction”).

Currently, DRDGOLD, through DRDIoM, holds a 45.33% interest in Emperor, which is a
gold mining company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange Limited. Emperor’s main
asset is the Vatukoula gold mine, located on Fiji’s largest island, Viti Levu. Emperor also
has an advanced stage exploration project, Tuvatu, located on Viti Levu.

Implementation of the transaction requires DRDGOLD shareholders to approve the ordinary
resolution authorising the restructuring of DRDGOLD’s offshore operations, whereby
DRDGOLD will sell DRDIoM to DRDGOLD’s wholly-owned subsidiary, DRDGOLD
(Offshore) Limited (“DRD Offshore”), in terms of section 228 of the Companies Act 61 of
1973, as amended, (“the Act”) (“the restructuring”).

The JSE Limited (“the JSE”) has advised that the transaction, together with the
restructuring, will be regarded as a Category 3 transaction.

2.

PURCHASE CONSIDERATION

The purchase consideration for the gold assets is US$230 million (“the purchase
consideration”), which is subject to certain completion adjustments to reflect the change in
the capital position of both Emperor and DRDIoM between 1 October 2005, which is the
effective date, and completion of the transaction.

The purchase consideration will be settled by:

o    the issue of 751 879 699 new Emperor shares to DRD Offshore, issued at A$0.35 per
      share (“new Emperor shares”) which currently equates to US$200 million; and
o    US$30 million in cash (“the cash consideration”).

DRDGOLD intends to utilise the cash consideration for acquisitions and general working
capital purposes.

3.

RATIONALE FOR THE TRANSACTION

On 27 October 2005, DRDGOLD announced the establishment of DRDGOLD South
African Operations (Proprietary) Limited (“DRDGOLD SA”) in order to consolidate
DRDGOLD’s South African operations. DRDGOLD SA will focus on South African and
African operations and growth opportunities. The sale of the gold assets to Emperor will
result in DRDGOLD holding all of its Australasian assets in a single listed vehicle (“New
Emperor”). New Emperor will therefore focus on Australasian operations and growth
opportunities.

The transaction allows DRDGOLD to establish two discrete management teams focussing
on operations in Africa and Australasia. Consolidating all of the Australasian assets in a
separately listed vehicle allows the geographic source of capital to match the geographic
use of that capital.

Upon completion of the transaction and the issue of the new Emperor shares, DRDGOLD
will hold approximately 90.5% of New Emperor. This majority control will allow DRDGOLD
to make the necessary operational and structural changes to improve efficiencies and
profitability in New Emperor.

DRDGOLD will not exercise its right to compulsorily acquire any of the shares held by non-
associated shareholders arising under section 664A of the Australian Corporations Act as a
result of the new Emperor shares issued to it pursuant to the transaction.

4.

THE RESTRUCTURING

In order to implement the restructuring, DRDIoM will transfer the following material assets
to DRD Offshore:

o   its 45.33% interest in Emperor; and
o   an A$8 million convertible loan facility which DRDIoM has advanced to Emperor, in
     terms of which DRDGOLD can elect to convert such debt facility into additional Emperor
     scrip at A$0.30 per Emperor share.

The restructuring involves the sale by DRDGOLD of DRDIoM to DRD Offshore, which
requires DRDGOLD shareholder approval in terms of section 228 of the Act. The Securities
Regulation Panel (“the SRP”) has advised that, while the restructuring is an affected
transaction as defined in the SRP Code, an independent fair and reasonable opinion on the
restructuring is not required as it is an inter-group transaction between two wholly-owned
subsidiaries of DRDGOLD.

5.

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE RESTRUCTURING AND THE TRANSACTION

The restructuring is subject, inter alia, to the following conditions precedent:

o     DRDGOLD

shareholder

approval;

o

South African Reserve Bank (“SARB”) approval; and

o

other regulatory consents.

The transaction is subject, inter alia, to the following conditions precedent:

o     the restructuring becoming unconditional,
o     approval by the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board;
o     SARB

approval;

o     Emperor shareholder approval;
o     there being no material adverse change in either Emperor or the gold assets;

and

o     a number of regulatory and banking consents and approvals being obtained.

6.

AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF EMPEROR

Subsequent to the transaction, New Emperor will become a subsidiary company of
DRDGOLD as defined in the Act and the articles of association of New Emperor will
therefore be amended to conform to Schedule 10 of the JSE Listings Requirements.

7.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL EFFECTS

The unaudited pro forma financial effects set out below have been prepared to assist
shareholders to assess the impact of the restructuring and the transaction on the earnings,
headline earnings, net asset value and tangible net asset value per DRDGOLD ordinary
share. The material assumptions are set out in the notes following the table. These
unaudited pro forma financial effects have been disclosed in terms of the Listings
Requirements of the JSE and do not constitute a representation of the future financial

position of DRDGOLD on completion of the transaction. The directors are responsible for
the unaudited pro forma financial effects.

Notes:

1.   The loss and headline loss per share in the "Before the transaction" column of the table

are based on the audited income statement of DRDGOLD for the financial year ended
30 June 2005.

2.   The loss and headline loss per share in the "After the transaction" column of the table

are based on 257 695 796 DRDGOLD shares in issue (being the weighted average
number of shares in issue for the year ended 30 June 2005), the audited income
statements of Emperor for the year ended 30 June 2005, and the assumptions that the
restructuring and the transaction became effective on 1 July 2004.

3.   The net asset value per share and tangible net asset value per share in the "Before the

transaction" column of the table are based on the audited balance sheet of DRDGOLD
at 30 June 2005 and 296 206 048 DRDGOLD shares in issue.

4.   The net asset value per share and tangible net asset value per share in the "After the

transaction" column of the table are based on the audited balance sheets of Emperor at
30 June 2005 and the assumption that the transaction was completed on 30 June 2005.

5.

The pro forma financial effects have been prepared according to South African
Generally Accepted Accounting Practices and have not been audited.

8.

NEW EMPEROR CAPITAL RAISING

Emperor has announced its intention to raise approximately US$15 million through the
placement of new shares following completion of the transaction (“the capital raising”). The
capital raising would take place in early 2006 and would be used for a variety of capital
programs across the three mines and to provide general working capital for New Emperor.
The capital raising will allow institutions to participate in New Emperor and will dilute
DRDGOLD’s shareholding.

9.

WITHDRAWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT

DRDGOLD shareholders are advised that, having regard for the disclosures made in this
announcement, caution is no longer required when dealing in their DRDGOLD shares.

10.

CIRCULAR TO SHAREHOLDERS

A circular to DRDGOLD shareholders will be issued in due course in terms of the
requirements of the SRP (“the circular”).

The circular will include details of the gold assets, the restructuring and the transaction for
information purposes in order to assist DRDGOLD shareholders in assessing the impact of
the restructuring and the transaction.
