BLYVOORUITZICHT GOLD MINE TO DISCIPLINE ILLEGAL STRIKERS
DRDGOLD hereby announces that the management of its subsidiary, Blyvooruitzicht mine near
Carletonville, has begun instituting a disciplinary processes against striking employees who began an illegal
work stoppage at the start of the night shift on Tuesday, 13 February 2007.

The illegal work stoppage is believed to be related to worker concerns regarding the calculation of leave pay
and to a demand by rock drill operators for a 40% wage increase.

The striking workers failed to respond to a court order served on Wednesday night, 14 February 2007,
prohibiting them from continuing with their illegal industrial action and to a management ultimatum issued
yesterday night for them to return to work or face disciplinary action.

Blyvooruitzicht is a mature mining operation, currently producing approximately 576 ounces of gold a day;
while the mine has been able to maintain reduced levels of gold production by processing stockpiled ore and
surface material, an immediate end to the illegal strike action is essential to prevent serious economic
consequences to the operation.

DRDGOLD SA CEO Niel Pretorius said today: “To date, the illegally striking workers have been
unresponsive to attempts by management and the National Union of Mineworkers to effect a return to work
and to participate in discussions regarding their grievances, using established procedures; disciplinary action
is the next logical step.”
