DRDGOLD LIMITED
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)

(“DRDGOLD” or “the Company”)
DRDGOLD is pleased to announce that it has signed a settlement with the National Union of
Mineworkers (“NUM”) in respect of wages and conditions of employment for 2013 and 2014 (“the
Settlement”). This brings to an end the two day strike by some 600 employees represented by the
NUM at the Company’s Ergo operations.
In terms of the Settlement:
-    entry-level employees in job categories 4 and 5 will receive a 10% basic wage
increase in year one and 8% in year 2;
   employees in job categories 6 and 7 will receive 9% in year 1 and 7.5% in year 2; and
   employees in job categories 8 to 15 will receive 8% in year 1 and 7.5% in year 2.
The effect of the implementation of the Settlement will be an 8.84% increase in the Company’s
annual wage bill, amounting to approximately R21 million per annum.
Niël Pretorius, CEO of DRDGOLD, said: “The higher increases at the lower end could be
accommodated within budget parameters by tapering increases for middle and senior
management for the 2014 calendar year.”
Employees who have been on strike have started to return to work at the start of the night shift on
9 October 2013. It is not anticipated that the strike will have had any material effect on production.
