KDC EAST MINE RESUMES PRODUCTION

Johannesburg, 6 November 2012: Gold Fields Limited (Gold Fields) (JSE, NYSE, NASDAQ Dubai: GFI) is
pleased to announce that employees this morning returned to work at its KDC East Mine (formerly
Kloof) to resume production after a 23-day strike. All three of Gold Fields’ operating mines in South
Africa are now back in production.

The mine had dismissed 8,100 employees on October 23 for participation in the unlawful strike over
the preceding nine days. However, after a deal with the National Union of Mineworkers, the vast
majority of them were reinstated to their previous positions. All employees are also eligible for
benefits under the Chamber of Mines Settlement Agreement concluded on 25 October 2012.
