<UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>This
document is a supplementary bidder's statement under section&nbsp;643 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). It is the fifth supplementary bidder's statement (</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Fifth
Supplementary Bidder's Statement</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>) issued by Durban Roodepoort Deep, Limited ARBN 086 277 616 / South African Reg. No.&nbsp;1895/000926/06
(</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>DRD</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>) in relation to its off-market takeover offer (</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Offer</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>) 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>). This Fifth Supplementary Bidder's Statement supplements, and should be read together with, DRD's
bidder's statement dated 26 March&nbsp;2004 (</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Bidder's Statement</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>) and DRD's other supplementary bidder's statements dated 4 May&nbsp;2004, 19

<UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>As
reported on Reuters on 20 July&nbsp;2004, DRD has given a legal notice to labour unions in South Africa that it will have to restructure operations at its Blyvoor mine, and that this is likely to
result in job losses. The number of jobs affected has not yet been determined. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>The
restructure is required because of the adverse impact which a strong South African rand is having on margins at DRD's South African operations. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>On
26 July&nbsp;2004, DRD announced that, subject to any automatic extensions under the Corporations Act, it will not extend its takeover offer for Emperor beyond 30 July&nbsp;2004. A copy of that
announcement is attached as Annexure&nbsp;A. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The
DRD shares offered under the takeover referred to in this Fifth Supplementary 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>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>
