CUSIP No. 266597 AA 1

     Durban Roodepoort Deep, Limited, a corporation incorporated under the laws
of the Republic of South Africa (herein called the "COMPANY", which term
includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to on the reverse
hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered
assigns 102.5% of the principal sum of SIXTY ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
United States Dollars (U.S.$61,500,000) (which principal amount may from time to
time be increased or decreased to such other principal amounts (which, taken
together with the principal amounts of all other Outstanding Securities, shall
not exceed U.S.$66 million in the aggregate at any time) by adjustments endorsed
by the Trustee as defined below) on or before the fifth Business Day after
November 12, 2006 and to pay interest on such principal amount, from November
12, 2002, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to
which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on
May 12 and November 12 in each year (each, an "INTEREST PAYMENT DATE"),
commencing May 12, 2003, at the rate of 6% per annum, until the principal hereof
is due, and at the rate of 6.557% on any unpaid principal amount after November
12, 2006 until paid, and, to the extent permitted by law, on any unpaid interest
amount after November 12, 2006 until paid. The interest so payable, and
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as
provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or
one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on
the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the 1st day of May or
the 1st day of November (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be,
next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Except as otherwise provided in the
Indenture, any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date
and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Company, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Definitive Securities not
less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in
any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. Original
Issue Discount will accrue from the date of issuance of this Security through
November 12, 2006, or such earlier date upon which this Security is redeemed,
repurchased or converted. Payments of principal and Original Issue Discount
shall be made upon the surrender of this Security at the option of the Holder at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or at such other office or agency of
the Company as may be designated by it for such purpose in such coin or currency
of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender
for the payment of public and private debts, or at such other offices or
agencies as the Company may designate, by wire transfer of same-day funds to a
Dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank (except with respect to any
portion of such principal and Original Issue Discount which the Company elects
to repay in Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as provided herein and in the Indenture).
Payment of interest on this

Security will be made by wire transfer of same-day funds to a Dollar account
maintained by the payee with a bank.

     Except as specifically provided herein and in the Indenture, the Company
shall not be required to make any payment with respect to any tax, assessment or
other governmental charge imposed by any government or any political subdivision
or taxing authority thereof or therein.

     All terms used in this Security which are not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

     Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set
forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof or an Authenticating Agent by the
manual signature of one of their respective authorized signatories, this
Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose.

                                    THE BANK OF NEW YORK, as Trustee


                                    By: /s/ Alison Mitchell
                                        -------------------
                                        Authorized Signatory


<Page>

                               REVERSE OF SECURITY

     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the
Company designated as its "6% Senior Convertible Notes due 2006" (herein called
the "SECURITIES"), limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S.$66 million,
issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of November 12, 2002
(herein called the "INDENTURE"), between the Company and The Bank of New York,
as Trustee (herein called the "TRUSTEE", which term includes any successor
trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights,
limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Trustee, and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the
Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

     The Securities will be senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and
will rank PARI PASSU to all present and future indebtedness of the Company.

     No sinking fund is provided for the Securities.

     In the event of a redemption of the Securities, the Company will not be
required (a) to register the transfer or exchange of Securities for a period of
15 days immediately preceding the date notice is given identifying the serial
numbers of the Securities called for such redemption; or (b) to register the
transfer or exchange of any Security, or portion thereof, called for redemption.

     Notice to the Holders will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days
prior to the applicable Redemption Date as provided in the Indenture.

     In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal of, accrued
Original Issue Discount on or interest on any Security or the last day on which
a Holder of a Security has a right to convert his Security shall be, at any
Place of Payment or Place of Conversion, as the case may be, a day on which
banking institutions at such Place of Payment or Place of Conversion are
authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close, then payment of
principal, accrued Original Issue Discount or interest, or delivery for
conversion of such Security need not be made on or by such date at such place
but may be made on or by the next succeeding day at such place which is not a
day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law or
executive order to close, with the same force and effect as if made on the date
for such payment or the date fixed for redemption or repurchase, or by such last
day for conversion, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for
the period from and after such due date.

     The Securities are subject to redemption at the option of the Company at
any time on or after November 12, 2005, in whole or in part, upon not less than
30 nor more than 60 days' notice to the Holders prior to the Redemption Date, at
a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities
redeemed, plus accrued Original Issue Discount, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. The Company may only
exercise this option during this period if (1) the closing price of the
Company's ADSs on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market (or, if not listed on The Nasdaq
SmallCap Market, such other national securities exchange upon which the ADSs may
then be listed or otherwise in the over-the-counter market, as applicable) has
exceeded 150% of the conversion price of the Securities then


<Page>

in effect for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading
days ending on the trading day immediately before the date of mailing of the
notice of redemption and (2) the registration statement filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Securities is effective
and available for use, and the Company expects that such registration statement
shall remain effective and available for use for 30 days following the
Redemption Date, unless registration is no longer required.

     In the event that the Company is required to make any withholding or
deduction for or on account of any taxes imposed by the Republic of South Africa
(or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from any
payment made under or with respect to the Securities, the Company shall pay such
additional amounts of interest as may be necessary so that the net amount
received by each Holder (including such additional amounts of interest) will not
be less than the amount the Holder would have received had such taxes not been
withheld or deducted; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such additional amounts will be
payable with respect to a payment made to a non-resident Holder if any of the
conditions described in Section 13.1 of the Indenture are met.

     The Securities are subject to redemption at the option of the Company, in
whole but not in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice to
the Holders prior to the Redemption Date, in cash in U.S. Dollars at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities, plus
accrued Original Issue Discount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to,
but excluding, the Redemption Date, in the event that the Company has become or
would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be
payable to the Holders under the Indenture or with respect to the Securities,
any additional amounts of interest as a result of any change in, or amendment
to, the laws (or any regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Republic of
South Africa (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein), or any change in, or amendment to, any official position regarding the
application or interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or
amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after November 4, 2002;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company determines, in its business judgment, that
the obligation to pay such additional amounts of interest cannot be avoided by
the use of reasonable measures available to it (not including substitution of
the obligor under the Securities). Any such redemption shall be effected in
accordance with the provisions of Article 10 of the Indenture.

     Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of Article 11 of the
Indenture, at the option of the Holder thereof, any Security or any portion of
the principal amount thereof (but not accrued Original Issue Discount thereon)
that is U.S.$1,000 or an integral multiple of U.S.$1,000 may be converted into
fully paid and nonassessable Ordinary Shares, or, at the election of the Holder,
ADSs representing a like number of Ordinary Shares, at the initial conversion
rate of 266.6667 Ordinary Shares per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Securities
(subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11.4 of the Indenture), which is
equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $3.75 per Ordinary
Share. Such conversion right shall commence upon the original issuance of the
Securities and expire at the close of business on November 12, 2006, subject, in
the case of conversion of beneficial interests in any Global Security, to any
Applicable Procedures. In case a Security or portion thereof is called for
redemption at the election of the Company or the Holder thereof exercises its
right to require the Company to repurchase the Security, such conversion right
in respect of the Security, or portion thereof so


<Page>

called, shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding the Redemption Date or Repurchase Date, as the case may be, unless the
Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption or repurchase, as the
case may be (in each case subject as aforesaid to any Applicable Procedures with
respect to any Global Security).

     A Holder of Securities shall not be entitled to any rights of a holder of
Ordinary Shares or ADSs until such holder has converted such Security into
Ordinary Shares or ADSs, and only to the extent that such Securities are deemed
to have been converted into Ordinary Shares or ADSs under Article 11 of the
Indenture.

     In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the Holder of a beneficial
interest in a Global Security to be converted shall deliver to the Company, at
any office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose pursuant to
Section 9.2 of the Indenture, a duly signed and completed conversion notice
substantially in the form set forth in EXHIBIT D of the Indenture stating that
the Holder elects to convert such beneficial interest in the Global Security or,
if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be converted, the portion
thereof to be converted, whereupon the Company shall, as promptly as practicable
but in any event within 14 days of its receipt of such duly signed and completed
conversion notice, cause such conversion to occur in accordance with the
customary procedures of the Book-Entry Depositary. Each beneficial interest in a
Global Security so surrendered for conversion (in whole or in part) during the
period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any
Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date
shall (except in the case of any Security or portion thereof that has been
called for redemption on a Redemption Date, or is to be repurchased on a
Repurchase Date, with the consequence that the conversion right of such Security
would terminate between such Regular Record Date and the close of business on
such Interest Payment Date) be accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House
funds or other funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the
interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, payable on such Interest Payment Date
on the principal amount of such Security (or part thereof, as the case may be)
being surrendered for conversion. The interest and Liquidated Damages, if any,
so payable on such Interest Payment Date, with respect to any Security (or
portion thereof, if applicable) that is surrendered for conversion during the
period from the close of business on any Record Date next preceding any Interest
Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date, shall be
paid to the Holder of such Security as of such Regular Record Date. Interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, payable in respect of any Security surrendered for
conversion on or after an Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Holder of
such Security as of the next preceding Regular Record Date, notwithstanding the
exercise of the right of conversion. Except as provided in this paragraph and
subject to the last paragraph of Section 3.7 of the Indenture, no cash payment
or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of any interest
accrued from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the conversion date, in
respect of any Security (or part thereof, as the case may be) surrendered for
conversion, or on account of any dividends on the Ordinary Shares issued upon
conversion. The Company's delivery to the Holder of the number of Ordinary
Shares (and cash in lieu of fractions thereof, as provided in the Indenture)
into which a Security is convertible and any rights and warrants pursuant to
Section 11.4(13) of the Indenture will be deemed to satisfy the Company's
obligation to pay the principal amount of the Security.


<Page>

     Securities shall be deemed to have been converted on the day of surrender
of such Securities for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions,
and at such time the rights of the Holders of such Securities as Holders shall
cease, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares
issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder
or holders of such Ordinary Shares at such time.

     In the case of any Security that is converted in part only, upon such
conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make
available for delivery to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a
new registered Security or Securities of authorized denominations in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the principal
amount of such Security. A Security may be converted in part, but only if the
principal amount of such Security to be converted is any integral multiple of
U.S.$1,000 and the principal amount of such security to remain Outstanding after
such conversion is equal to U.S.$1,000 or any integral multiple of U.S.$1,000 in
excess thereof.

     In the event that a Change in Control shall occur, then each Holder shall
have the right, at the Holder's option, but subject to the provisions of Section
12.2 of the Indenture, to require the Company to repurchase, and upon the
exercise of such right the Company shall repurchase, all of such Holder's
Securities not theretofore called for redemption, or any portion of the
principal amount thereof that is equal to U.S.$1,000 or any greater integral
multiple of U.S.$1,000, on the Repurchase Date at the Repurchase Price (which,
as provided in the Indenture, shall equal to 101% of the principal amount of the
Securities called for redemption, plus accrued Original Issue Discount, plus
accrued interest through the Repurchase Date); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
installments of interest on Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to
the Repurchase Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one
or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such on the relevant Record Date
according to the terms hereof and the provisions of Section 3.7 of the
Indenture. Such right to require the repurchase of the Securities shall not
continue after a discharge of the Company from its obligations with respect to
the Securities in accordance with Article 4 of the Indenture, unless a Change in
Control shall have occurred prior to such discharge. At the option of the
Company, the Repurchase Price may be paid in cash or, subject to the fulfillment
by the Company of the conditions set forth in Section 12.2 of the Indenture, by
delivery of Ordinary Shares or ADSs or in a combination of cash and Ordinary
Shares or ADSs having a fair market value equal to the Repurchase Price.

     At the option of the Company and upon notice to the Holders given not less
than 40 trading days nor more than 60 trading days prior to the Maturity Date as
provided in the Indenture, on or before the fifth Business Day immediately
following the Maturity Date, the amount of 102.5% of the principal of the
Securities (but not any interest accrued to the Maturity Date) due on the
Maturity Date may, subject to the fulfillment by the Company of the conditions
set forth in Section 3.12 of the Indenture, be paid, in whole or in part, by
delivery of Ordinary Shares or ADSs or in a combination of cash and Ordinary
Shares or ADSs having a fair market value equal to such amount due on the
Maturity Date. The delivery of such Ordinary Shares or ADSs shall occur on or
before the fifth Business Day following the Maturity Date.

     For purposes of the preceding two paragraphs, the fair market value of
Ordinary Shares or ADSs shall be determined by the Company and shall be equal to
90% of the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs on The
Nasdaq SmallCap Market (or,


<Page>

if not listed on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, such other national securities
exchange upon which the Ordinary Shares or ADSs may then be listed or otherwise
in the over-the-counter market, as applicable) for each of the 30 consecutive
trading days immediately preceding and including the third trading day prior to
the Repurchase Date or date of repayment of 102.5% of the principal of the
Securities.

     In the event of a redemption, repurchase, cancellation or conversion of
this Security in part only, the principal amount of Securities evidenced by this
Security shall be reduced by the principal amount so redeemed, repurchased,
cancelled or converted. Thereafter, the Securities represented by this Security
shall be the principal amount of Securities most recently entered by or on
behalf of the Company in the relevant column in SCHEDULE A attached hereto.

     This Security may not be exchanged for Definitive Securities unless: (i)
DTC notifies the Trustee that it is unwilling or unable to continue to hold such
Global Securities, or if at any time DTC is unable to or ceases to be a clearing
agency registered under the Exchange Act and a successor to DTC registered under
the Exchange Act is not appointed by the Trustee at the written request of the
Company within 120 days; (ii) an Event of Default under the Securities occurs,
upon the receipt of the holder of a beneficial interest in the relevant
Securities; or (iii) at any time the Company at its option and in its sole
discretion determines that this Security should be exchanged (in whole but not
in part) for Definitive Securities.

     Transfers of this Security shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not
in part.

     If a holder of an interest in this Security wishes at any time to transfer
such interest to a person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an
interest in the Regulation S Global Security, such holder may transfer such
interest in accordance with the rules and operating procedures of DTC, Euroclear
and Clearstream. Upon (a) notification to the Trustee by the custodian of this
Security for DTC and the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream and (b)
receipt by the Trustee of a certificate in the form of EXHIBIT F to the
Indenture given by the holder of such interest, the transfer of interest from
this Security to the Regulation S Global Security shall be effected by a
reduction in the aggregate principal amount of Securities represented by this
Security and the corresponding reduction or increase in the aggregate principal
amount of Securities represented by the Regulation S Global Security.

     If an Event of Default (other than that specified in Section 5.1(6) or
5.1(7) of the Indenture) shall occur and be continuing, then in every such case
the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities may declare the principal of all the Securities to be due
and payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture, and upon any such declaration such principal and all accrued interest
thereon shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default
specified in Section 5.1(6) or 5.1(7) of the Indenture occurs, the principal of,
and accrued interest on, all of the Securities shall ipso facto become
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other Act of the Holder
or any act on the part of the Trustee.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at
any time by the Company and the Trustee with


<Page>

the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.
Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive
and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of
any Security issued in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security or such other
Security.

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder
of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for
any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of not less
than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made
written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event
of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and shall
have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any
suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any
payment of principal hereof, accrued Original Issue Discount or interest hereon
on or after the respective due dates expressed herein or for the enforcement of
the right to convert this Security as provided in the Indenture.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, Original Issue Discount on
and interest on this Security at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed or to convert this Security as provided in the
Indenture.

     The Holder of this Security (including any person that has a beneficial
interest in this Global Security) and the Ordinary Shares and ADSs issuable upon
conversion hereof is entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights
Agreement, dated as of November 12, 2002, executed by the Company. Pursuant to
the Registration Rights Agreement, Liquidated Damages may be payable to the
Holders under the circumstances set forth therein. Whenever in this Security
there is a reference, in any context, to the payment of the principal of,
Original Issue Discount on or interest (including Additional Amounts, if any)
on, or in respect of, this Security, such mention shall be deemed to include
mention of the payment of Liquidated Damages payable as described in the
Registration Rights Agreement to the extent that, in such context, Liquidated
Damages are, were or would be payable in respect of this Security pursuant to
the Registration Rights Agreement, and an express mention of the payment of
Liquidated Damages (if applicable) in any provisions of this Security shall not
be construed as excluding Liquidated Damages in those provisions of this
Security where such express mention is not made. Liquidated Damages, if any,
shall be paid on a Damages Payment Date, as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement. If the Holder of this Security (including any person that has a
beneficial interest in this Global Security) elects to sell this Security
pursuant to the Registration Statement then, by its acceptance hereof, such
Holder agrees to be bound by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement
relating to the Registrable Securities, as defined in the Registration Rights

Agreement, which are the subject of such election. Upon the effectiveness of a
registration statement or the Registration Statement and the sale or other
transfer of a beneficial interest in this Security in connection therewith, the
Company shall issue and upon receipt of an authentication order in accordance
with the Indenture, the Trustee or its agent shall authenticate one or more
Unrestricted Global Securities in an initial aggregate principal amount equal to
the principal amount of the beneficial interest so transferred.

     Any beneficial interest in this Security that is transferred to a person
who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Security will,
upon transfer, cease to be an interest in this Security and become an interest
in such other Global Security and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to
all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures or conditions applicable
to beneficial interests in such other Global Security for as long as it remains
such an interest.

     Interest payable in respect of any period which is not a full interest
period will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months
and, in the case of an incomplete month, the number of days elapsed.

     An incorporator or any past, present or future director, officer, employee
or shareholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any
obligations of the Company under this Security or the Indenture or for any claim
based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By
accepting this Security, each Holder shall waive and release all such liability.
Such waiver and release is part of the consideration for the issue of this
Security.

     The Indenture and this Security shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States of America,
without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

     All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
