DEALING IN SECURITIES BY DIRECTORS                                              
In compliance with paragraphs 3.63 to 3.74 of the Listings Requirements of JSE  
Limited ("the Listings Requirements") we hereby advise that Mr NJ Holland and Mr
K Ansah, Directors of Gold Fields Limited, have exercised Share Options which   
were issued to them in terms of The GF Management Incentive Scheme, as amended, 
and the GF Non -Executive Director Share Plan, respectively.                    
Share options are offered at a strike price, with a third of the total share    
option grant vesting upon the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the     
grant date. The vested options can be exercised before the expiry date which is 
seven years from the grant date. The value of the Options which a participant   
may exercise will be the difference between the Share price at the date of      
exercise and the Strike price on the allocation date.
