DRDGOLD TO DELIST FROM AUSTRALIAN AND PORT MORESBY STOCK EXCHANGES

DRDGOLD Limited has today released details of its proposed delisting from the official list of Australian
Stock Exchange Limited (“the ASX”) with effect from 21 July 2006.

The decision to delist from the ASX follows the successful consolidation of DRDGOLD’s Australasian
assets into the ASX-listed Emperor Mines Limited (“Emperor”) (“the Emperor transaction”) which,
following the transaction, has transformed Emperor into one of the largest gold producing companies listed
on the ASX. DRDGOLD now holds 88.3% of the shares in Emperor.

DRDGOLD has also proposed to be delisted from the Port Moresby Stock Exchange, on which the
Company’s shares have been quoted since 2004.

Following the delisting, DRDGOLD shares will remain tradeable on the JSE Limited, the London Stock
Exchange and Nasdaq in the United States, as well as the Euronext Brussels, the Euronext Paris, the Berlin
and Stuttgart “over the counter” markets and the regulated unofficial market of the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange.


DRDGOLD Chief Executive Officer Mark Wellesley-Wood said the decision to delist from the
ASX was logical now that the Company had finalised the Emperor transaction and no longer had a
direct operational presence in the region.

Additionally, the low level of trading in DRDGOLD shares on the ASX compared to the other
major exchanges on which the Company is listed provided another compelling reason for delisting.
Less than one percent of DRDGOLD's shares have traded annually on the ASX since the stock
commenced being quoted in 1999.

“Following completion of the divestment of our Australasian gold assets to Emperor, our remaining
interest in the region is our strategic stake in Emperor,” he said.


“DRDGOLD has made a conscious decision to refocus on its African operations and this decision to delist
from the ASX and Port Moresby Stock Exchange is appropriate now that we no longer directly hold any
assets in the region.”

In a letter to shareholders, Mr Wellesley-Wood has advised that as a result of the Emperor transaction,
DRDGOLD shareholders now have the option of retaining their investment in DRDGOLD’s former
Australasian assets:

    directly by investing in Emperor shares; or
    indirectly through their DRDGOLD shareholding, as DRDGOLD continues to have an indirect exposure
to these Australasian assets through its 88.3% shareholding in Emperor.

To facilitate these arrangements, DRDGOLD has sent shareholders on the Australian register of
shareholders, an Information Pack providing details of the delisting process, including an overview of:

    a share sale facility that will be established to enable DRDGOLD’s Australian-registered shareholders to
sell their DRDGOLD shares during the three-month period commencing on the date that DRDGOLD’s
removal from the official list of the ASX takes effect (“the share sale facility”); and
    the arrangements that DRDGOLD has put in place to assist its Australian-registered shareholders to
change the register on which their shareholding is reflected by transferring those shares to DRDGOLD’s
South African register. DRDGOLD will pay the transfer costs under this facility on behalf of affected
shareholders.

DRDGOLD is presently finalising arrangements with an approved stock broker to manage the share sale
facility and will provide full details of that facility once those arrangements are finalised.

DRDGOLD has established a special Shareholder information line to assist any shareholders in Australia or
Papua New Guinea who have queries regarding the delisting from the ASX and Port Moresby Stock
Exchange.

Shareholders can contact the DRDGOLD shareholder information line on 1800 660 962 (within Australia) or
+61 8 9386 2651 (from Papua New Guinea) for further details.
