<P ALIGN="RIGHT"><FONT SIZE=2>361/04-jmd
</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Johannesburg, South Africa. 10 June&nbsp;2004.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Durban Roodepoort Deep, Limited (JSE: DUR; NASDAQ: DROOY; ASX:DRD) Chief
Executive Officer Ian Murray has welcomed a decision by a majority of the independent directors of the Emperor Mines Limited board to recommend to shareholders that they accept DRD's final, revised
offer for the company. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DRD
announced that it will increase its bid for Emperor to five DRD shares for every 22 Emperor shares it does not already own. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
agreed offer represents an increase of 14% over DRD's previous offer. DRD's previous offer represented a 32% premium over the price at which Emperor was trading prior to the
announcement of the offer on 8 March&nbsp;2004. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"We
believe our original offer was fair based on Emperor's share price tracking the offer since the bid was launched. This new offer reflects our strong intention to proceed with the
full takeover and add value to the Vatukoula Gold Mine in Fiji," Murray said. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DRD
has decided to waive all but one of the conditions to the offer. The remaining minimum acceptance condition of 90% will be waived and the offer will become fully unconditional upon
DRD becoming entitled to at least 50.1% of the total Emperor shares on issue. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DRD
has also decided to: </FONT></P>

<UL>
<DL compact>
<DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>shorten
the time for payment of the offer consideration to accepting shareholders to within seven days after its offer becomes unconditional, or after acceptance of the
offer, whichever is the latter; and
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>extend
the offer period so that it will expire at 7pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 14 July&nbsp;2004, unless extended in accordance with the Corporations Act. </FONT></DD></DL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DRD
is the world's 9th largest gold producer, with mines in South Africa as well as Australasia, a key target for growth. The company has a track record of success in extending the lives
of older mines safely and profitably. For fiscal year 2003, DRD produced 870 000 ounces of gold, up from under 100 000 ounces a year in 1997, when current operations were amalgamated. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DRD
has primary listings on the Johannesburg (JSE:DRD) and Australian (ASX:DRD) stock exchanges and secondary listings on NASDAQ (DROOY), the London Stock Exchange and the Paris and
Brussels Bourses. Its shares are also traded on the regulated unofficial market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the Berlin OTC Market. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
more information, please visit www.drd.co.za or www.durbans.com </FONT></P>

<HR NOSHADE>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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. </FONT></P>
