<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
the purpose of section&nbsp;650F of the Corporations Act 2001, Durban Roodepoort Deep, Limited (ARBN&nbsp;086&nbsp;277&nbsp;616&nbsp;/&nbsp;South African Reg.
No.&nbsp;1895/000926/06) (</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>DRD</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>) gives notice declaring its takeover offers dated 13&nbsp;April 2004 for all the ordinary shares in Emperor Mines
Limited (ABN 61 007 508 787) (</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Emperor</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>) and all the contracts formed by the acceptance of those offers to be free of the conditions set out in
section&nbsp;9.8 of DRD's Bidder's Statement dated 26&nbsp;March 2004 (as supplemented) (</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Bidder's Statement</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>) including the condition set out in
section&nbsp;9.8(a) (Minimum acceptance condition) of the Bidder's Statement. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To
its knowledge, DRD's voting power in Emperor at the time of preparing this notice was 36.5%. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>Dated:</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6 July&nbsp;2004 </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=1><B>U.S. Disclosures  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT SIZE=1>The DRD shares offered under the takeover offers contained in the Bidder's Statement 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;</FONT><FONT SIZE=1>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>

the purposes of paragraph&nbsp;630(3) of the Corporations Act 2001, Durban Roodepoort Deep,&nbsp;Ltd (</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>DRD</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>) gives notice that: </FONT></P>

has freed its takeover offer for all of the ordinary shares in Emperor Mines&nbsp;Ltd (</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Offer</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>) contained in DRD's
bidder's statement dated 26&nbsp;March 2004 (as supplemented) (</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Bidder's Statement</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>) from all of the defeating conditions set out in section&nbsp;9.8
of the Bidder's Statement; and
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>ii)</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>to
its knowledge, DRD's voting power in Emperor at the time of preparing this notice was 36.5%. </FONT></DD></DL>

<P><FONT SIZE=1><B>U.S. Disclosures  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT SIZE=1>The DRD shares offered under the takeover offers contained in the Bidder's Statement 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;</FONT><FONT SIZE=1>The offer described in DRD's Bidder's Statement dispatched on 13&nbsp;April 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>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Johannesburg, South Africa. Tuesday, 6 July&nbsp;2004.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Durban Roodepoort Deep Limited, (JSE: DUR; NASDAQ: DROOY; ASX: DRD),
today removed all conditions from its offer to acquire all the shares in Emperor Mines Limited (Emperor). The offer is now unconditional. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Last
month DRD increased and made final its offer to Emperor shareholders of 5 DRD shares for every 22 Emperor shares held. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DRD
Chief Executive Officer, Ian Murray, said going unconditional allowed Emperor shareholders who accept the offer to receive their DRD shares within seven days. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
majority of the independent directors of Emperor's board have recommended that shareholders accept DRD's offer. DRD is presently entitled to 36.5% of the shares in Emperor. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"We
expect the removal of this final condition takes away any uncertainty Emperor shareholders may have regarding our intentions to acquire their shares," Murray said. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"We
remain totally committed to adding value to the Vatukoula Gold Mine in Fiji." </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Last
week DRD raised a R100&nbsp;million loan facility with Investec Bank Limited, with R40&nbsp;million of the loan earmarked for any possible capital injection that Emperor may
need. The injection is partly dependent on the level of acceptances received under the current takeover offer. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Murray
said if DRD obtains majority control of Emperor but not full ownership, it will seek to have Emperor raise funds, possibly through a rights issue. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
offer remains open until 14 July&nbsp;2004, unless extended. </FONT></P>
