6% SENIOR CONVERTIBLE NOTES REPAID IN FULL
DRDGOLD announced today that it has repaid in full its outstanding 6% Senior Convertible Notes
due 2006.
DRDGOLD had raised the money in November 2002 for new acquisitions and capital expansion
programmes.
The most significant of these were:
-  the initial purchase of a 19.9% stake in Emperor Mines, which subsequently led to the creation of
the third-largest ASX listed gold producer. DRDGOLD’s holding in Emperor Mines is now
78.72%.
-  the building of a new surface plant at DRDGOLD South Africa’s Blyvooruitzicht operation,
enabling it to re-process vast surface resources. The new surface plant is producing around 30
000 oz of gold annually at below $300/oz.
By repaying the Notes in cash, DRDGOLD has also lowered its fully diluted share capital by 17.6m
shares, the underlying equity of the original Notes.
The aggregate principal amount of the Notes is US$66 million, plus the accrued original issue
discount and interest.
DRDGOLD paid a total of US$69 630 000 to the holders of the Notes from cash reserves and
borrowing facilities when they matured on 12 November 2006. DRDGOLD’s obligations under the
Notes have now been satisfied and discharged.
Statements in this announcement may include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties, as disclosed by DRDGOLD from time to time in its filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. As a result of these factors, DRDGOLD’s actual results may differ materially from those
indicated or implied by such forward-looking statements. For further information, please contact Ilja
