DRDGOLD ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF NEW CEO; DRDGOLD SA ACHIEVES 26% BEE
OWNERSHIP AND APPOINTS NEW CHAIRMAN

Johannesburg, South Africa, 11 December 2006. DRDGOLD Limited (JSE: DRD; NASDAQ: DROOY)
today announced the appointment of the company’s current Chief Financial Officer (CFO), John Sayers, as
Chief Executive Officer with effect from 1 January 2007.

DRDGOLD also announced today its approval of the exercise of the option by its Black Economic
Empowerment (BEE) partner in DRDGOLD South African Operations (Pty) Limited (DRDGOLD SA),
KhumoGold (SPV) Pty Limited, to increase its stake in DRDGOLD SA from 15% to 20%, and to facilitate the
incorporation of a further 6% into an employee trust. DRDGOLD SA wholly owns and operates the
Blyvooruitzicht and ERPM deep-level gold mining operations and the Crown surface retreatment operation.
Following the exercise of its option, Khumo will have three Board seats on the DRDGOLD SA Board, the
other Khumo members being Dr Paseka Ncholo (alternate Thulo Mogotsi) and Louisa Zondo.

Sayers (60) succeeds out-going CEO Mark Wellesley-Wood (55) who has been appointed Chairman of
DRDGOLD SA by Khumo Bathong Holdings, on behalf of Khumo Gold. Niel Pretorius, CEO of DRDGOLD
SA, will report to the board of DRDGOLD SA, and is no longer an alternate director of DRDGOLD.

Kobus Dissel (48), currently Group Financial Manager at DRDGOLD and an Alternate Director, has been
appointed acting CFO to replace Sayers with effect from 1 January 2007.

Sayers joined DRDGOLD as CFO in September 2005, bringing to the company almost 40 years of financial
experience. Prior to joining DRDGOLD he was Financial Director of Nampak Limited (1996-2004) and,
before that, was Financial Director of Altron Limited (1989-1996).

Commenting on Sayers’ appointment, DRDGOLD Non-executive Chairman Geoffrey Campbell said: "Since
joining the company, John has made a major contribution to the group’s financial management and strategy
and to the development of business strategy. John’s leadership style, strategic thinking and financial
experience will be great assets in his new role as CEO.”

Campbell paid tribute to outgoing CEO Mark Wellesley-Wood for his “steadfast leadership of DRDGOLD,
variously as CEO and Executive Chairman, during enormously testing times in respect of corporate
governance, operational difficulties and far-reaching asset restructuring in South Africa and Australasia. We
will continue to benefit from his extensive mining and business expertise in his new role as Chairman of
DRDGOLD SA, and commend our BEE partners in selecting him for this role”.
