(</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>JSE:DUR; NASDAQ:DROOY; ASX:DRD</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>) announced today that it is extending the scheduled closing date of its offer for Emperor Mines Limited
(</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Emperor</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>) by 28&nbsp;days to 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 11 June&nbsp;2004. A copy of the Notice of variation is attached. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>DRD's
offer remains open and capable of acceptance. Emperor shareholders should refer to DRD's Bidder's Statement dispatched on 13 April&nbsp;2004 for details on the acceptance procedure, or they
should contact their financial or other professional adviser if they are in any doubt as to how to act in relation to the offer. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Queries to Emperor Shareholder Infoline:<BR>  </I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>From within Australia is 1800 118 938 (toll free)<BR>
From outside Australia +61 8 9386 2651<BR>
As required by the Corporations Act, calls to these numbers will be recorded. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>US Disclosures<BR>  </I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>DRD's shares have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. persons unless they are registered under
the U.S. Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act is available.</I></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>The offer described in DRD's Bidder's Statement dispatched on 13 April&nbsp;2004 is made for the securities of an Australian company. The offer is subject to disclosure
requirements in Australia that are different from those of the United States. Certain financial statements included in the Bidder's Statement have been prepared in accordance with South African,
Australian and/or International Accounting Standards that may not be comparable to the financial statements of United States companies. It may be difficult for Emperor's shareholders to enforce their
rights and any claim they may have arising under the U.S. federal securities laws, since DRD is located in South Africa, and all of its officers and directors are residents of countries other than the
United States. Emperor's shareholders may not be able to sue DRD or its officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of U.S. securities laws. It may be difficult to compel DRD
and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgment. You should be aware that DRD may purchase securities otherwise than under the offer in DRD's Bidder's Statement, such as in the
open market or privately negotiated transactions to the extent permitted under Australian law.</I></FONT></P>
