DRDGOLD PRODUCTION UPDATE

Shareholders of DRDGOLD are hereby informed of the following production update for FY17Q1 compared
to FY16Q4:

    -   volume throughput amounted to 6,6 million tonnes compared to 6,1 million tonnes, an 8% increase;
        and
    -   gold production amounted to 1 034kg compared to 1 022kg, a 1% increase.

The increase in throughput offset the effects of maintenance to the City Deep mills, causing quarter on
quarter production to end flat.

The final clean-up of specific Crown sites weighed in on costs and FY17Q1 cash and cash equivalents
ended at R335 million (R352 million FY16Q4). The effect of this clean-up is likely to continue until FY17Q3.
