DRDGOLD Limited
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Registration number 1895/000926/06)
Share code: DRD
ISIN: ZAE000058723
ARBN number: 086 277 616
NASDAQ trading symbol: DROOY
(“DRDGOLD” or “the company”)

TRADING STATEMENT

In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, companies are required to publish a
trading statement as soon as they are satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the
financial results for the current reporting period will differ by at least 20% from those of the
previous corresponding period.

Shareholders are advised that the board of directors of DRDGOLD expect that the company’s
headline loss per share for the twelve months ended June 2006 will be in the range of 15% to 25%
greater than that reported for the twelve months ended June 2005.

This is as a result of post tax loss contributions from the Barrick Gold Corporation managed
Porgera Mine (West Wall Remediation which resulted in lower gold production and increased
costs), Tolukuma Mine (lower gold production mainly as a result of excessive rain during the year
resulting in the flooding of the main production areas as previously reported and cost increases) and
Emperor Mines Limited (Vatukoula Mine reorganisation, announced in April 2006, which has
resulted in no production during May and June 2006). These were partially offset by a much
improved profit contribution from Blyvoortuitzicht Mine and the remaining South African
operations and the inclusion of minorities for the first time arising from the consolidation of
Emperor Mines Limited.

In addition the basic loss per share will be in the range of 60% to 70% lower (a smaller loss) than
that reported for the twelve months ended June 2005, due to the reversal of an impairment charge
for ERPM mine following a return to profitability and an increased mine life and a profit being
generated from discontinued operations for the current period as opposed to a loss for the previous
period.

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 year end audit is currently in process. The results
for the year ended 30 June 2006 are expected to be announced on or about 24 August 2006.
