BLYVOORUITZICHT GOLD MINING COMPANY LIMITED (”BLYVOOR”) RESCUE BID:

DRDGOLD TO SEEK JUDICIAL MANAGEMENT ORDER

DRDGOLD has announced that – in a bid to save its 74%- owned Blyvoor mine from liquidation –

it intends applying to the High Court of South Africa for a judicial management order over the

struggling operation.

DRDGOLD CEO, Niël Pretorius, said today that the application, in terms of the provisions of

Section 427 of the South African Companies Act, had been prompted by Blyvoor’s inability to

continue to sustain losses which had now reached R27 million a month.

“Restructuring at Blyvoor flowing from the recent consultation process in terms of Section 189A of

the Labour Relations Act is not delivering the expected turnaround as rapidly as we had hoped, and

the mine is also finding it very hard to shake off the effects of the recent four-week strike; we now

need a rescue plan that holds real promise of saving Blyvoor from insolvency,” Pretorius said.

“Judicial management is the only appropriate course of action for us to take in the face of the

combined negative impact of circumstances beyond the control of the board of directors and

management.”

These circumstances, which had seen Blyvoor plummet into sustained losses from ‘a period of

handsome profits’ which lasted until April this year, included:

•

the 16% drop in the average Rand gold price received between 1 April 2009 and 30
September 2009 due to the strengthening of the Rand against the US Dollar;

•

extensive damage caused during May 2009 to higher-grade underground production areas at
No 5 Shaft by seismic activity, restoration of which is expected to take until March 2010 to
complete;

•

power utility Eskom’s higher winter tariffs, compounded by a 32% price increase effective
from 1 July 2009, and the likelihood of further increases in coming months; and

•

the wage strike by the National Union of Mineworkers, which resulted in the loss of 8 000
ounces of production worth R60 million.

“In terms of a judicial management order, the court appoints a judicial manager who has a wide

range of powers at his/her disposal to take such actions he/she deems necessary to save the

business,” Pretorius said.

These could, for example, include giving certain creditors temporary preference over others and

agreeing compromises with creditors without the risk of committing an act of insolvency and

thereby exposing the mine to liquidation.

DRDGOLD envisaged Blyvoor remaining under judicial management until after access to the

seismicity-damaged, higher-grade areas at No 5 Shaft had been regained, Pretorius said.

“In addition to the R75 million we have committed to saving Blyvoor over the past three months,

we will provide the judicial manager with whatever assistance he/she may require to obtain

additional ‘rescue finance’ from appropriate institutions, such as the Industrial Development

Corporation.”
