CONFIRMATION OF APPOINTMENT OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (“CEO”)

Further to the announcement released on 21 August 2008, shareholders are reminded that, with
effect from 1 January 2009, Mr Niel Pretorius will assume the role of CEO of DRDGOLD. Mr
John Sayers, the current CEO, will be resigning from the board with effect from 31 December 2008.

The Chairman of the DRDGOLD board, Mr Geoff Campbell, said the following about Mr Sayers’
contribution to the company:
“I would like to express my sincere thanks to John Sayers for his leadership of the company during
the last two years. He took on the role at a difficult time and implemented a strategy of stabilisation
and focus that transformed the company into the profitable, South Africa gold miner that it is
today. He was instrumental in the divestment of our Australian assets which, along with the
restructuring of our South African assets, has put the company in excellent financial health. I am
delighted that John is not leaving the company completely as he has agreed to a consultancy role so
that we can continue to benefit from his expertise and experience.”
