TERMINATION OF BUSINESS RESCUE PROCEEDINGS IN RESPECT OF
BLYVOORUITZICHT GOLD MINING COMPANY LIMITED (“BLYVOOR”) AND
CONTINUATION OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
DRDGOLD shareholders (“Shareholders”) are referred to the announcement published by the
Company on 23 June 2011, wherein Shareholders were advised that Blyvoor’s board of directors
had resolved to place Blyvoor under business rescue proceedings (“Business Rescue
Proceedings”) in terms of Chapter 6 of the Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008 (“Act”). Shareholders
are hereby further advised that the Business Rescue Practitioner (“BRP”), appointed to oversee
Blyvoor during the Business Rescue Proceedings, has concluded that there are no longer reasonable
grounds to believe that Blyvoor is financially distressed as envisaged in Chapter 6 of the Act.
Accordingly, the BRP filed a notice of termination of Business Rescue Proceedings with the
Companies and Intellectual Property Commission on 10 November 2011, thereby immediately
terminating the Business Rescue Proceedings (“Termination”).
Furthermore, Shareholders are referred to the announcement published by the Company
on 8 November 2011 ("Announcement"), wherein Shareholders were informed that DRDGOLD
had, on a non-binding and in-principle basis, accepted a non-binding expression of interest (“EOI”)
from Village Main Reef Limited (“Village”) to acquire all of DRDGOLD’s interests in Blyvoor
(“Blyvoor Transaction”). The EOI contained certain conditions precedent in respect of the
Blyvoor Transaction, which included, inter alia, the requirement that the Business Rescue
Proceedings be terminated to the satisfaction of Village.
DRDGOLD today informed Village of the Termination and, although Village still has to confirm
whether the

Termination satisfies the relevant condition precedent to Blyvoor Transaction, the Termination
represents an important step towards the potential implementation of the Blyvoor Transaction.
CONTINUATION OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
Shareholders are referred to the further cautionary announcement contained in the Announcement
and are advised that the negotiations referred to in that announcement continue, the outcome of
which may have a material effect on the price of DRDGOLD’s securities.
Accordingly, Shareholders are advised to continue exercising caution when dealing in
DRDGOLD’s securities until a further announcement is made.
