MEDIA RELEASE

GOLD FIELDS RESPONSE TO MISLEADING BUSINESS DAY ARTICLE



Johannesburg, 22 August 2014: Gold Fields Limited (Gold Fields) (JSE, NYSE, NASDAQ Dubai: GFI)
has taken note of the misleading and factually inaccurate Business Day article in this morning’s edition
headlined “South Deep woes grow with R12bn Kebble suit”.

 This claim relates to alleged activities during the period from 2002 – 2005 and was instituted by
Randgold and Exploration Company on 21 August 2008. It has been reported by Gold Fields in its
Annual Reports, Integrated Reviews and Quarterly Financial Results statements since then.

 This claim is historic and relates to a period of time prior to Gold Fields purchasing the mine. The
length of time taken by Randgold and Exploration Company to prosecute this claim supports both Gold
Fields’ and their attorneys Werksmans considered view that the claim is completely without merit.
