("DRDGOLD" or "the Company")
ERGO TRANSACTION RECEIVES COMPETITION COMMISSION APPROVAL
DRDGOLD CEO Niël Pretorius commented: “Full ownership of Ergo is a major step in our
strategic shift towards lower-risk, lower-cost, higher-margin gold production from surface
sources, providing a key, logistical platform for substantial future growth through
exploitation of synergies with our Crown surface operation. We will also continue to explore
prospects for uranium and sulphur production through Ergo’s Brakpan plant.”

DRDGOLD shareholders are referred to the announcement released by the Company on 21 January
2010 wherein details of the acquisition of the 50% equity interest of Mintails Limited (“Mintails”)
in Ergo Mining (Pty) Limited (“Ergo”) (“the Transaction”) by DRDGOLD were provided. The
Company is pleased to inform shareholders that South African Competition Commission approval
has been obtained for the Transaction.

Ergo was a 50:50 joint venture entered into between DRDGOLD and Mintails in November 2007 to
explore, evaluate and process up to 1.7 billion tons of surface gold, uranium and sulphur-bearing
tailings from the East and Central Rand goldfields of South Africa.

DRDGOLD agreed to acquire, subject to certain suspensive conditions which included Competition
Commission approval, Mintails’ 50% share in Ergo for a total purchase consideration of
R82 088 321. The purchase consideration is to be settled through a cash payment of R62 088 321
and the balance in shares in the Witfontein tailings deposition site on the Far West Rand valued at
R20 000 000.

All the suspensive conditions relating to the Transaction have now been fulfilled.
