BLYVOOR STRIKERS RETURN TO WORK

DRDGOLD announced today that a wage-related strike by 3 900 employees in the National Union
of Mineworkers (“NUM”) recognition unit at the Blyvooruitzicht Gold Mining Company Limited
(“Blyvoor”) operation is over.

The NUM signed a wage agreement with the company on Friday afternoon and about 3 900
employees in the NUM recognition unit at the mine, who have been on strike since 15 September,
returned to work at the start of the night shift last night (Sunday, 11 October 2009).

The agreement provides for an 8% across-the-board basic wage increase. The union rejected the
company’s offer of a gold profit sharing scheme, in terms of which employees could have earned up
to an additional 7%.

At DRDGOLD’s East Rand Proprietary Mines Limited operation, where underground mining has
been discontinued, the NUM accepted a 4% across-the-board basic wage increase and the gold
profit sharing scheme the week before last. At the Crown Gold Recoveries (Pty) Limited operation,
the union accepted an 8% across-the-board increase and the gold profit sharing scheme on
Wednesday last week and 500 striking employees returned to work on Thursday.

DRDGOLD’s estimated daily gold production loss due to the strike action was some 320 ounces,
almost entirely from Blyvoor’s deep-level underground mining operation.
