No underground drilling and blasting at ERPM’s Far East Vertical Shaft currently

DRDGOLD announced today that no drilling and blasting is taking place currently at the ERPM gold mine
of its 74%-held subsidiary, DRDGOLD South African Operations (Pty) Limited. The ERPM mine is located
in Boksburg, on South Africa’s East Rand.

On 23 October 2008, DRDGOLD announced that it could become necessary to halt underground drilling and
blasting as a consequence of the cessation of pumping of Central Witwatersrand Basin water from ERPM’s
South West Vertical (“SWV”) Shaft with effect from 6 October 2008. Pumping was ceased for safety
reasons, following the asphyxiation of two employees underground at the SWV Shaft on 19 September 2008.

DRDGOLD CEO-Designate, Niel Pretorius, said today: “The underground pumping infrastructure at
ERPM’s South East Vertical Shaft is currently unable to cope with both the rising level of water in the
Central Witwatersrand Basin and water generated from ice supplied underground from surface to the mine’s
only producing shaft, the Far East Vertical (“FEV”) Shaft, on a daily basis to cool the working places.

“Currently, therefore, we are unable to supply ice underground to adequately cool the working areas and are
thus unable to send production crews underground. We have therefore halted all drilling and blasting
operations at ERPM.”

“We continue to engage with all stakeholders – notably government and unions – in discussions regarding
these circumstances and how best to manage them.”

Avenues of investigation include the installation of additional pumping capacity at the FEV Shaft but initial
indications are that this would be both costly and would take several months to implement, Pretorius said.
