TRADING STATEMENT

This trading update is issued in accordance with paragraph 3.4 (b) of the Listing Requirements of the JSE
Limited (“the JSE Listings Requirements”).

In terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, companies are required to publish a trading statement as soon as there is reasonable certainty that the financial results for the current reporting period will be more than 20%
different to that of the prior comparative period.

Shareholders are advised that the board of directors of DRDGOLD expects that the company’s headline loss per share for the six months ended 31 December 2005 will be more than 30%to 50% lower (a smaller loss)
than that reported for the six months ended 31 December 2004.

This is as a result of lower retrenchment costs, higher investment income, lower taxation, the provision for a
deferred tax asset and a reversal of the impairment of the investment in Emperor Mines Limited arising from
the improvement of that entity’s share price following the announcement of the consolidation of
DRDGOLD’s offshore operations into that entity, offset in part by the increase in loss from associates.

In addition, the basic loss per share will be 75% to 90% lower (a smaller loss) due to the above reasons and
the inclusion of the loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended 31 December 2004.

The above financial information refers to changes in bottom line losses as calculated using IFRS Accounting
Standards.

The financial information on which this trading statement has been based has not been reviewed and reported on by the company’s auditors. The results for the six months ended 31 December 2005 are expected to be announced on or about 23 February 2006.
