<P><FONT SIZE=2>NORTH
WEST CLOSURE REVIEW<BR></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
light of the continued weakness of the gold price in Rand terms and following extensive management actions, Durban Roodepoort Deep, Limited is forced to enter into a
60-day review which may impact on the future of its North West Operations. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This
review, which will be independently monitored, will encompass all necessary measures to realign the North West Operations' cost base and productivity, as well as to evaluate further
restructuring options. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, the outcome of this review will have to take cognizance of the prevailing gold price level and the Rand/Dollar exchange rate. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding
the fact that the North West Operations have performed within their budgeted costs as forecast at 30 June&nbsp;2002, these steps have now become inevitable due to
continued cash losses. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All
unions and associations have been notified in terms of the Labour Relations Act. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
total of 13,000 employees (including contractors) may be affected by this process. Consultation will begin immediately regarding the possible reduction of labour in excess of current
operating requirements. </FONT></P>
