LOWER GOLD PRODUCTION EXPECTED IN DECEMBER QUARTER

DRDGOLD announced today that a man-winder motor in the sub-shaft at the FEV shaft of its
ERPM operation in Boksburg had burnt out over the weekend. This would contribute to an
expected negative variance in gold production from the company’s South African based operations
of up to 15% for the quarter ending 31 December 2007.

In the quarter ended 30 September 2007, the South African operations produced 89 157 oz of gold.

Niel Pretorius, CEO of DRDGOLD South African Operations (Pty) Limited, said today that repairs
to the damaged hoist were expected to take at least 10 days. To relieve pressure on back-up
infrastructure and to maintain production from the higher-yielding areas of the mine, it had been
decided to send crews which are mining lower grade areas on leave.

“This incident, together with the loss of seven shifts arising from the closure of all of the
Blyvooruitzicht mine’s underground operations by the Department of Minerals and Energy (DME)
following a fatality earlier in the quarter, is a setback in our drive towards stability. Our
fundamentals remain strong however, and we will have to work through these challenges,”
Pretorius said.
