EMPEROR REPORTS PORGERA SALE COMPLETION AND EMPEROR CAPITAL RETURN
UPDATE

Emperor Mines Limited (“Emperor”), a 78.72% indirect subsidiary of DRDGOLD listed on the ASX
Limited (“ASX”), today reports the completion of the sale of Emperor’s 20% interest in the Porgera Joint
Venture (“the PJV Interest”) to Barrick Gold Corporation for a cash consideration of US$255 million (“the
Porgera transaction”).

Emperor Chief Executive Officer, Brad Gordon, said today that the completion of the sale meant that
Emperor had now paid out its debt facilities in full, and was well placed to pursue growth opportunities.

“As of today, the Company has retired all of its debt facilities, and has, as previously announced, closed out
all forward gold hedging, leaving the company debt and hedge free and with free cash in excess of A$125
million.”

“Our significant net cash position following the completion of this transaction provides us with considerable
flexibility in harnessing growth options and to pursue select opportunities identified over recent months,” Mr
Gordon said.

The completion of the Porgera transaction allows Emperor to now undertake a proposed capital return to
Emperor shareholders of A$0.05c for every Emperor ordinary share held (“the Capital Return”), which was
approved by Emperor shareholders at a General Meeting conducted on 30 July. Subsequent to the
completion of the Capital Return, Emperor anticipates holding a net cash position in excess of A$70 million

The Capital Return was subject to the following conditions:
- Emperor shareholder approval; and
- completion of the sale of the PJV Interest in Papua New Guinea.

Following completion of the Porgera transaction, the conditions for the Capital Return are now fully
satisfied.

TIMETABLE
The Capital Return will take effect in accordance with the following timetable approved by the ASX:

shareholders as at the Record Date.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE CAPITAL RETURN
Emperor is applying to the Australian Taxation Office for a Class Ruling confirming the tax position related
to the Capital Return and will notify Emperor shareholders of the outcome of this submission in due course.
It is strongly recommended that Emperor shareholders seek their own specific taxation advice in relation to
the tax treatment of the Capital Return taking into account their particular circumstances.

EMPEROR SIGNS INDONESIAN ALLIANCE AGREEMENT

Emperor Mines Limited (“Emperor”), a 78.72% indirect subsidiary of DRDGOLD listed on the ASX
Limited, today reports that it has signed an Alliance Agreement with a group of Indonesian and Australian
investors to explore a large gold-silver-copper project in eastern Java.

The Alliance Agreement between Emperor, Indonesian company PT Indo Multi Niaga and BVI company
IndoAust Mining Limited sets out the framework for entering into a Joint Venture Agreement and
undertaking further exploration on a property of approximately 116km2 located in the South Eastern portion
of Java.

The agreement paves the way to a full Joint Venture Agreement, which would see Emperor spend up to
A$5million over five years, to earn a 51% interest in the project. An option exists for Emperor to earn a
further 19% interest in the project by funding additional exploration. Emperor may then fund Feasibility
studies to a capped amount, subject to certain conditions including the obtaining of relevant permits and
licences.

Emperor Executive General Manager - Exploration and New Business, Malcolm Norris, said that the
property has been previously explored and drilled by Golden Valley Mines and by Placer Dome during 1999/
2000, with highly encouraging results.

“Historical drilling has defined a broad zone of approximately 2km x 2km of near surface Au-Ag
mineralisation at the site, which will be the focus of ongoing drilling activity under the Alliance Agreement
during the remainder of 2007 and early 2008,” Mr Norris said.

“We undertook diligence reviews of this prospect and the associated alliance agreement in June and July of
this year, and are pleased to have now confirmed our position as an alliance partner in the project.

The Au-Ag system is interpreted as an upper level high-sulphidation system, overlying a porphyry copper
system. Previous drilling results (see full results below) include:

- 278.6m @ 0.53g/t Au, 29 g/t Ag, which includes 24m @ 1.55g/t Au, 106g/t Ag;
- 87m @ 1.81g/t Au & 12.66ppm Ag, which includes 15m @ 6.24g/t Au, and;

- 48m @ 1.9g/t Au.

The porphyry system, which outcrops adjacent to, and below, the drilled gold-silver system is mineralised
with rock chip sampling returning results of 47m @ 1.29%Cu and 1.71 g/t Au.

Mr Norris said that on-site preparations for further drilling are complete and drilling will commence as soon
as possible.

Additional targets and zones of Cu-Au anomalous stream sediment samples exist in areas adjacent to the
drilled zone and these will be further explored with a view to defining additional drill targets as soon as
possible.

Emperor Chief Executive Officer, Brad Gordon, said that the project was an exciting opportunity for
Emperor, and formed an important part of Emperor’s plans to rebuild its asset portfolio.

“This project is consistent with Emperor’s plans to expand into the South-East Asian region, and while still
focusing on gold as the major metal target, does provide diversification into silver and copper,” Mr Gordon
said.

“The project is now at an advanced exploration stage and through this agreement we will accelerate work on
the project to determine defined resources as quickly as possible,” he said.
