Update to the pro forma financial effects of the acquisition by the DRDGOLD group of the remaining 50%
interest in the Elsburg Gold Mining Joint Venture (“the Elsburg Joint Venture”) from Mintails Limited
(“Mintails”)

1. Introduction

Shareholders are referred to the announcement dated 20 January 2009 which set out, inter alia, information
relating to the acquisition by the DRDGOLD group of the 50% interest held by the Mintails group in the
Elsburg Joint Venture (which was originally constituted as a 50:50 joint venture between DRDGOLD South
African Operations (Pty) Limited (“DRDGOLD SA”), which is 74% held by DRDGOLD, and Mintails).
Subsequent to the release of that announcement, DRDGOLD released its quarterly and interim results for the
three and six months ended 31 December 2008. In compliance with the JSE Limited Listings Requirements,
the pro forma financial effects presented in such announcement have been updated and are set out below.

2.

Unaudited pro forma financial effects

The unaudited pro forma financial effects of the acquisition by DRDGOLD SA of a 15% interest in the
Elsburg Joint Venture (“the 15% acquisition”) followed by either:

• the acquisition by DRDGOLD of the remaining 35% interest in the Elsburg Joint Venture (“the 35%

acquisition”); or

• the exercise of an option granted to DRDGOLD SA to acquire an 11.4% interest in the Elsburg Joint

Venture (“the Elsburg option”) followed by the acquisition by DRDGOLD of the remaining 23.6%
interest in the Elsburg Joint Venture (“the 23.6% acquisition”)

(collectively “the transactions”) are presented below. Such pro forma financial effects are the responsibility
of the board of directors of DRDGOLD and are presented for illustrative purposes only to provide
information on how the transactions may have impacted on the reported financial information of the
company if they had been implemented in the six months ended 31 December 2008. Because of their nature,
the pro forma financial effects may not give a fair indication of the company’s financial position at 31
December 2008 or its future earnings.
