CHANGE IN THE FINANCIAL YEAR-END OF GOLD FIELDS LIMITED ("THE COMPANY")         
At a meeting held on Wednesday, 4 August 2010 the Board resolved to change the  
financial year-end of the company and its subsidiaries from June to December    
to align the financial reporting period to its peers in the mining industry.    
In December 2010 the company will report for the six months financial period    
ending 31 December 2010. Subsequently, the financial accounting period will     
run for a full 12 months cycle from January to December.
