DRDGOLD LIMITED

(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)

(“DRDGOLD” or the “Company”)

TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016 AND

PRODUCTION UPDATE FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016

In terms of paragraph 3.4(b) of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, companies are required to publish a trading
statement as soon as they are satisfied that, with a reasonable degree of certainty, the financial results for the current
reporting period will differ by at least 20% from the financial results of the previous corresponding period.

DRDGOLD is in the process of finalising its results for the six months ended 31 December 2016 (“Results”) and
shareholders are accordingly advised that the Company expects to report:

· earnings per share to be between 0.17 cents and 1.03 cents per share (a decrease of between 76% to 96%,

respectively) compared to 4.3 cents earnings per share for the previous corresponding period; and

· headline loss per share to be between 2.66 cents and 2.14 cents per share compared to headline earnings of

2.6 cents per share for the previous corresponding period.

In a production update for the second quarter ended 31 December 2016 released today, DRDGOLD reported:

· volume throughput amounted to 6,0 million tonnes compared to 6,6 million tonnes, a 10% decrease;

· gold production amounted to 1 066kg compared to 1 034kg, a 3% increase; and

· operating costs increased by 9% to R 82 per tonne.

As communicated previously, the final clean-up and closure of specific Crown sites continued to weigh on costs
causing both accelerated depreciation and retrenchment costs of approximately R18 million each.

After paying a final dividend of R52 million for the year ended 30 June 2016, the Company ended the second quarter
of FY2017 with R290 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared with R335 million at the end of the first quarter
of FY2017. The cash position was also influenced by an increase in working capital of R 70.5 million for the 6 months
ended 31 December 2016.

Gold production for the year ending 30 June 2017 is expected to be between 136,000 and 140,000 ounces at cash
operating costs of between R468,000 per kilogram and R482,000 per kilogram.

The above information has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company’s auditors. The Company’s Results are
expected to be published on or about 15 February 2017.
