ERGO JV: INITIAL SAMREC COMPLIANT GOLD RESOURCE

Further to the DRDGOLD announcement released on 26 November 2007 regarding the
expansion of its East Rand gold tailings treatment joint venture with Mintails Limited of
Australia (“the ERGO JV”), DRDGOLD is pleased to announce a new SAMREC compliant
Measured Resource for the Elsburg Tailings Complex.

The ERGO JV was established to explore, evaluate and process approximately 1.7 billion tonnes
of surface gold, uranium and sulphur bearing tailings on the East and Central Rand goldfields of
South Africa. The ERGO JV will refurbish and utilise the full ERGO plant which previously
produced significant quantities of gold, uranium and sulphuric acid.

Recent sampling and technical evaluation by RSG Global of the Elsburg Tailings Complex only
has established a new SAMREC compliant Measured Resource containing an estimated 1.6
million ounces of gold as described below:

* It has been assumed that the tailings dams would be mined in their entirety, therefore no cut off
grades or losses were included in the estimation.

The above resources refer only to gold mineralisation. Further analysis is planned to be
undertaken for uranium and sulphur content within the next two to six months.

The Elsburg Tailings Complex, which was introduced to the ERGO JV by DRDGOLD,
represents approximately 10% of the total 1.7 billion tonnes of tailings materials forming the
ERGO JV. The ERGO JV intends to continue with an ongoing programme of resource
evaluation and upgrade to properly identify and classify the gold, uranium and sulphur content of
all of its tailings materials.

Phase 1 of the ERGO JV will be confined to gold production only and is based on the
refurbishment of one of the carbon in leach (“CIL”) circuits at the Brakpan plant to treat and
process approximately 15 million tonnes a year to produce an estimated 75 000 ounces of gold a
year.
