DRDGOLD ANNOUNCES 60-DAY REVIEW AND ISSUES NORTH WEST OPERATIONS SECTION 189 NOTICE

DRDGOLD today announced a 60-day operational review of its North West Operations at Stilfontein in South Africa's North West Province and issued a notice to unions and associations in terms of Section 189 (3) of the Labour Relations Act.

Section 189 (3) details the requirements of a formal consultative process management is obliged to enter into with employees when it envisages dismissals based on changed operational and financial circumstances.

In the six months to 31 December 2004, DRDGOLD recorded a total net loss of R370.1 million, of which R279.2 million, or 75%, was incurred by the North West Operations. Currently, the North West Operations are losing some R20 million a month.

DRDGOLD's Chief Executive Officer, Mark Wellesley Wood, said today that, while the stronger Rand and the consequent weaker Rand gold price were factors in the North West Operations' poor performance, there has been a failure to deal with these realities by continuously improving productivity and reducing costs.

To survive the current crisis, Wellesley-Wood said, productivity at the North West Operations would have to increase by 35% in terms of grams per total employee costed and current working costs of R71 million a month would have to be slashed to R40 million.

"We are acutely aware that, in the event of failure to achieve these targets, placing the entire North West Operations on care and maintenance becomes an option we must consider."

The North West Operations currently employ 6 513 people. Some 2 780 people were retrenched as part of a restructuring process some 18 months ago but subsequent performance improvements were not sustained.

"The urgency with which the North West Operations' current situation must now be addressed through appropriate restructuring means it is essential that the meeting of the statutory requirements of restructuring, as scoped by Section 189 (3), begins immediately," Wellesley-Wood said.

"I am encouraged that employees and their representatives understand the seriousness of the situation at the North West Operations and are already engaged with management in consultation on ways to improve productivity, cut costs and return to profitability.

"We remain open to all offers and suggestions, either to sustain mining at the North West Operations or to retain access to their reserves," Wellesley-Wood said.

DRDGOLD has requested the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration ("CCMA") to facilitate consultation in terms of Section 189 (3).

Wellesley-Wood said it is envisaged that the CCMA-facilitated process will run concurrently with the consultation process already under way at the North West Operations.
