UNDERGROUND PRODUCTION TO RESUME AT BLYVOORUITZICHT GOLD MINE
(“BLYVOOR”)

DRDGOLD announced this afternoon that the Department of Minerals and Energy (“DME”) has lifted the
notice issued in terms of Section 54 of the Mine Health and Safety Act, prohibiting underground production
at the Number 4, 5 and 6 shafts at Blyvoor (“the notice”).

The notice was served on the mine following the death of an employee in a rock burst underground on
Friday, 19 October 2007.

The DME’s decision followed a presentation by mine management to the DME this morning on the results of
an independent risk assessment of Blyvoor’s underground mining operations.

The DME’s finding that Blyvoor’s standards were compliant was endorsed by the National Union of
Mineworkers, which was represented at today’s presentation.

Work to restore the mine to full production will begin at the start of the night shift tonight.

Although four underground ore production shifts were lost as a result of the notice, a level of gold production
was still maintained through the treatment of stockpiled material and ongoing surface retreatment.
