PLACEMENT OF SHARES BY A MAJOR SUBSIDIARY

Emperor Mines Limited (“Emperor”), a company registered in Australia and listed on the
Australian Stock Exchange (“the ASX”) in which DRDGOLD holds an effective 88.3% interest
through its wholly owned subsidiary DRD (Offshore) Limited (“DRD Offshore”), a company
registered in the Isle of Man, has entered into various agreements in terms of which it will raise A$
40 million, before costs, via the placement of 100 million shares at 40 Australian cents per share
(“the placement”).

The placement has been structured as follows:

-

Tranche 1 comprises 97.6 million shares placed with international and domestic institutional
investors and effective on 02 June 2006; and

-

Tranche 2 comprises 2.4 million shares to be placed with directors of Emperor, subject to
shareholder approval, which approval will be sought in a meeting of Emperor shareholders to
be convened in early July 2006.

The board of Emperor has elected to undertake the placement within Emperor’s 15% limit in
accordance with the ASX Listings Rules. All of the shares to be issued under the placement will
rank pari passu with existing ordinary shares.

The placement of the 100 million shares, subject to necessary shareholder approvals in respect of
Tranche 2, will have the effect of diluting DRD Offshore’s holding in Emperor from 88.3% to
79.7%.
