restructuring of the surface operations, effective July 1, 2012, Ergo is treated as one taxpaying operation pursuant to the relevant ring-
fencing legislation. In the event that we are unsuccessful in confirming our position or should the South African Receiver of Revenue
have a different interpretation of section 36 of the ITA, it could have an adverse effect on the business, operating results and financial
condition of our operations.

               The implementation of carbon or other climate change related to taxes might have a direct or indirect negative cost
impact on our operations.

               Climate change is a global problem that requires both a concentrated international response and national efforts to reduce
greenhouse gas, or GHG, emissions. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is the main global response to
climate change. The associated Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement that classifies countries by their level of industrialization
and commits certain countries to GHG emission reduction targets. Although South Africa is not one of these countries identified, it
ranked among the top 20 countries measured by absolute carbon dioxide emissions. During the 2009 Copenhagen climate change
negotiations, South Africa voluntarily announced that it would act to reduce domestic GHG emissions by 34% by 2020 and 42% by
2025, subject to the availability of adequate financial, technological and other support. The two main economic policy instruments
available for setting a price on carbon and curbing GHG emissions are carbon taxation and emissions trading schemes. In a
discussion paper on carbon taxation by the National Treasury of the South African Government released in June 2013 different
methods of carbon taxation were discussed. The implementation of these carbon taxes have been postponed until the 2014 national
budget proposal. Should these taxes be implemented, they might have a direct or indirect negative cost impact on our operations
which could have an adverse effect on the business, operating results and financial condition.

               Failure to comply with the requirements of the Broad Based Socio-Economic Empowerment Charter could have an
adverse affect on our business, operating results and financial condition of our operations.

               The Broad Based Socio-Economic Empowerment Charter for the South African Mining Industry, or Mining Charter
(effective from May 1, 2004), established certain numerical goals and timeframes to transform equity participation in the mining
industry in South Africa. The goals set by the Mining Charter include that each mining company must achieve 15% ownership by
historically disadvantaged South Africans, or HDSA, of its South African mining assets within five years and 26% ownership within
ten years, in each case, from May 1, 2004. This is to be achieved by, among other methods, the sale of assets to historically
disadvantaged persons on a willing seller/willing buyer basis at market value.

               In September 2010, the DMR released amendments to the Mining Charter. The intention behind the amendments to the
Mining Charter was to clarify certain ambiguities and uncertainties which existed under the Mining Charter and to provide more
specific targets. However, there are a number of matters that still require clarification and discussions in respect of interpretations of
the requirements are in progress with the DMR. The goals set by the amendments to the Mining Charter include: minimum 26%
HDSA ownership by March 2015; procurement of a minimum 40% of capital goods, 50% of consumer goods and 70% of services
from Black Economic Empowerment, or BEE, entities by March 2015; minimum 40% HDSA representation at each of executive
management level, senior management level, middle management level, junior management level and core and critical skills levels;
minimum 3% investment of annual payroll in skills training; investment in community development; and attain an occupancy rate of
one person per room in on-site accommodation.

               When considering applications for the conversion of existing rights, the relevant regulator will take a “scorecard”
approach, evaluating the commitments of each company to the different facets of promoting the objectives of the Mining Charter.
Failure on our part to comply with the requirements of the Mining Charter and the “scorecard” could subject us to negative
consequences. There is also no guarantee that any steps we might take to comply with the Mining Charter would ensure that we
could successfully acquire new order mining rights in place of our existing rights. In addition, the terms of such new order rights
may not be as favorable to us as the terms applicable to our existing rights. In addition, we may incur expenses in giving
additional effect to the Mining Charter and the “scorecard”, including costs which we may incur including the risk of losing our
mining rights if we do not comply with the requirements stipulated in facilitating the financing of initiatives towards ownership by
historically disadvantaged persons. Any of the foregoing could have an adverse affect on our business, operating results and
financial condition.

               Land claims relating to our properties could have a material adverse affect on our rights to such companies and prevent
us from exploiting our Ore Reserves located there.

               Our privately held land and mineral rights in South Africa could be subject to land restitution claims under the Restitution of
Land Rights Act, 1994 (as amended), or Land Rights Act. Under the Land Rights Act, any person who was dispossessed of rights to
land in South Africa as a result of past racially discriminatory laws or practices is granted certain remedies, including the restoration
of the land. The initial deadline for such claims was December 31, 1998. We have not been notified of any land claims, but it is
possible that administrative delays in the processing of claims could have delayed such notification. Any claims of which we are
notified in the future could have a material adverse effect on our right to the properties to which the claims relate and prevent us from
using that land and exploiting any Ore Reserves located there, which could have an adverse affect on our business, operating results and
financial condition.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                       15

Since our South African labor force has substantial trade union participation, we face the risk of disruption from labor

disputes and new South African labor laws.

Labor costs constituted 17% of our production costs for fiscal 2013, 32% for fiscal 2012 and 35% for fiscal 2011. As of

June 30, 2013, we employed and contracted 2,752 people, of whom approximately 61% are members of trade unions or employee
associations. We have entered into various agreements regulating wages and working conditions at our mines. Unreasonable wage
demands could increase production costs to levels where our operations are no longer profitable. This could lead to accelerated mine
closures and labor disruptions. In addition, we are subject to strikes by workers from time to time, which result in disruptions to our
mining operations.

In recent years, labor laws in South Africa have changed in ways that significantly affect our operations. In particular, laws

that provide for mandatory compensation in the event of termination of employment for operational reasons and that impose large
monetary penalties for non-compliance with the administrative and reporting requirements of affirmative action policies could result
in significant costs to us. In addition, future South African legislation and regulations relating to labor may further increase our costs
or alter our relationship with our employees. Labor cost increases could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and
financial condition.

Labor unrest and xenophobia could affect production.

We may experience labor unrest at our operations. During October and November 2002, ERPM experienced some labor

unrest during which several striking contract workers were wounded and two workers were killed by employees of a private security
company. Furthermore, during fiscal 2008, South Africa fell victim to a slew of xenophobic attacks when a series of riots started in
the township of Alexandra situated in Johannesburg. This violence of locals attacking migrants from other African countries had a
direct impact on our operations at ERPM. Three employees died and attendance was down at the operation for several days.

During August and September 2012, there have been a number of illegal (according to current labor legislation) strikes at

several mining companies in South Africa and events related to these strikes resulted in 45 people being killed. These strikes called
for above inflation wage increases and better working conditions.

Such events at our operations or elsewhere could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial

condition.

Our financial flexibility could be materially constrained by South African currency restrictions.

South African law provides for exchange control regulations, which restrict the export of capital from the Common

Monetary Area, including South Africa. The Exchange Control Department of the South African Reserve Bank, or SARB, is
responsible for the administration of exchange control regulations. In particular, South African companies:

· are generally not permitted to export capital from South Africa or to hold foreign currency without the approval of SARB;
· are generally required to repatriate, to South Africa, profits of foreign operations; and
· are limited in their ability to utilize profits of one foreign business to finance operations of a different foreign business.

While the South African Government has relaxed exchange controls in recent years, it is difficult to predict whether or

how it will further relax or abolish exchange control measures in the future. For further information see Item 10D.: “Exchange
Controls.”

Risks related to ownership of our ordinary shares or ADSs

Sales of large volumes of our ordinary shares or ADSs or the perception that these sales may occur, could adversely

affect the prevailing market price of such securities.

The market price of our ordinary shares or ADSs could fall if substantial amounts of ordinary shares or ADSs are sold by

our stockholders, or there is the perception in the marketplace that such sales could occur. Current holders of our ordinary shares
or ADSs may decide to sell them at any time. Sales of our ordinary shares or ADSs, if substantial, or the perception that these
sales may occur to be substantial, could exert downward pressure on the prevailing market prices for our ordinary shares or ADSs,
causing their market prices to decline. Trading activity of hedge funds and the ability to borrow script in the market place will
increase trading volumes and may place our share price under pressure.

Dividend tax, which is a withholding tax, will reduce the amount of dividends received by beneficial owners.

On April 1, 2012, the South African Government replaced Secondary Tax on Companies (then 10%) with a 15%

withholding tax on dividends and other distributions payable to shareholders. Although this may reduce the tax payable by the
Company or our subsidiaries, the withholding tax will reduce the amount of dividends or other distributions received by our
shareholders.

Your rights as a shareholder are governed by South African law, which differs in material respects from the rights of

shareholders under the laws of other jurisdictions.

Our Company is a public limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of South Africa. The

rights of holders of our ordinary shares, and therefore many of the rights of our ADS holders, are governed by our memorandum
of incorporation and by South African law. These rights differ in material respects from the rights of shareholders in companies
incorporated elsewhere, such as in the United States. In particular, South African law significantly limits the circumstances under
which shareholders of South African companies may institute litigation on behalf of a company.

It may not be possible for you to effect service of legal process, enforce judgments of courts outside of South Africa or

bring actions based on securities laws of jurisdictions other than South Africa against us or against members of our board.

Our Company, certain members of our board of directors and executive officers are residents of South Africa. In

addition, our cash producing assets are located outside the United States and a major portion of the assets of members of our board
of directors and executive officers are either wholly or substantially located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be
possible for you to effect service of legal process, within the United States or elsewhere including in South Africa, upon most of
our directors or officers, including matters arising under United States federal securities laws or applicable United States state
securities laws.

Moreover, it may not be possible for you to enforce against us or the members of our board of directors and executive

officers judgments obtained in courts outside South Africa, including the United States, based on the civil liability provisions of
the securities laws of those countries, including those of the United States. A foreign judgment is not directly enforceable in South
Africa, but constitutes a cause of action which will be enforced by South African courts provided that:

· the court which pronounced the judgment had jurisdiction to entertain the case according to the principles recognized by
South African law with reference to the jurisdiction of foreign courts;
· the judgment is final and conclusive (that is, it cannot be altered by the court which pronounced it);
· the judgment has not lapsed;
· the recognition and enforcement of the judgment by South African courts would not be contrary to public policy, including
observance of the rules of natural justice which require that no award is enforceable unless the defendant was duly served
with documents initiating proceedings, that he was given a fair opportunity to be heard and that he enjoyed the right to be
legally represented in a free and fair trial before an impartial tribunal;
· the judgment was not obtained by fraudulent means;
· the judgment does not involve the enforcement of a penal or revenue law; and
· the enforcement of the judgment is not otherwise precluded by the provisions of the Protection of Business Act, 1978 (as
amended), of South Africa.

It is the policy of South African courts to award compensation for the loss or damage actually sustained by the person to

whom the compensation is awarded. Although the award of punitive damages is generally unknown to the South African legal system
that does not mean that such awards are necessarily contrary to public policy. Whether a judgment was contrary to public policy
depends on the facts of each case. Exorbitant, unconscionable, or excessive awards will generally be contrary to public policy. South
African courts cannot enter into the merits of a foreign judgment and cannot act as a court of appeal or review over the foreign court.
South African courts will usually implement their own procedural laws and, where an action based on an international contract is
brought before a South African court, the capacity of the parties to the contract will usually be determined in accordance with South
African law. It is doubtful whether an original action based on United States federal securities laws may be brought before South
African courts. A plaintiff who is not resident in South Africa may be required to provide security for costs in the event of
proceedings being initiated in South Africa. Furthermore, the Rules of the High Court of South Africa require that documents
executed outside South Africa must be authenticated for the purpose of use in South African courts. It is not possible therefore for an
investor to seek to impose criminal liability on us in a South African court arising from a violation of United States federal
securities laws.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

4A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY

Introduction

DRDGOLD Limited, or DRDGOLD, is a South African gold mining company engaged in surface gold tailings retreatment

including exploration, extraction, processing and smelting. Our main subsidiary is Ergo Mining Operations Proprietary Limited, or
EMO, in which we hold a 74% interest. Our black economic empowerment partners are Khumo Gold SPV Proprietary Limited, or
Khumo Gold and an employee trust (known as the DRDSA Empowerment Trust), which hold 20% and 6% respectively in EMO. On
June 1, 2012, we sold our entire interest and claims against Blyvoor to Business Venture Investment No 1557 Proprietary Limited, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Village Main Reef Limited, or Village.

On July 1, 2012, all the group’s surface operations, including Crown Gold Recoveries Proprietary Limited, or Crown, all

the surface assets and liabilities of East Rand Proprietary Mines Limited, or ERPM, and ErgoGold (formerly called Elsburg Gold
Mining joint venture), were restructured into Ergo Mining Proprietary Limited, or Ergo Mining. As at June 30, 2013, EMO wholly
owned and operated Crown, Ergo Mining, and ERPM. Ergo Mining, Crown, ErgoGold and ERPM’s Cason operation are
collectively referred to as Ergo.

DRDGOLD is also a 49% partner in Chizim Gold (Pvt) Limited, or Chizim Gold, an early-stage gold exploration project on

Zimbabwe’s Greenstone Belt.

We are a public limited liability company, incorporated on February 16, 1895, as Durban Roodepoort Deep Limited, and our

shares were listed on the JSE in that same year. In 1898, our milling operations commenced with 30 stamp mills and in that year we
treated 38,728 tons of ore and produced 22,958 ounces of gold. On December 3, 2004, the company changed its name from Durban
Roodepoort Deep Limited to DRDGOLD Limited. Our operations have focused on South Africa's West Witwatersrand Basin, which
has been a gold producing region for over 100 years.

Our shares and/or related instruments trade on the JSE, New York Stock Exchange, the Marche Libre on the Paris Bourse,

the Brussels Bourse in the form of International Depository Receipts, the Over The Counter, or OTC, market in Berlin and Stuttgart
and the Regulated Unofficial Market on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

South African operations

Ergo

Ergo Mining was formed in June 2007, primarily to recover and treat – over a period of 12 years – approximately 186

million tonnes (Mt) of surface tailings contained in the Elsburg Tailings Complex for gold. As a second-phase development, in
conjunction with a new pipeline linking Ergo with Crown, the Ergo plant’s second carbon-in-leach (CIL) circuit was refurbished to
increase capacity from 1.2 million tonnes per month (Mtpm) to 1.8Mtpm. Ergo Mining is licensed to produce uranium and sulphuric
acid, and a feasibility study to assess the potential of these by-products from the Ergo resource will be completed in fiscal 2014. On
July 1, 2012, Ergo Mining acquired the mining assets and certain liabilities of Crown and all the surface assets and liabilities of
ERPM as part of the restructuring of our surface operations. Also as part of this restructuring, Ergo Mining acquired DRDGOLD's
35% interest in ErgoGold for R200 million.

Crown was acquired on September 14, 1998, in exchange for 5,925,139 of our ordinary shares. Crown, which is located

within the Witwatersrand Basin, exploits various surface sources, including sand and slime tailings deposited as part of previous
mining operations. On July 1, 2012, Crown sold its mining assets, mining and prospecting rights and certain liabilities to Ergo Mining
in exchange for shares in Ergo Mining as part of the restructuring of our surface operations.

ERPM, which consists of the original underground mine which is under care and maintenance, the Cason Dump surface

retreatment operation and ERPM Extension 1 and 2 exploration tenements, was acquired on October 10, 2002. Underground mining
at ERPM was halted in October 2008. On July 1, 2012, ERPM sold its surface mining assets, and its 65% interest in ErgoGold to
Ergo Mining in exchange for shares in Ergo Mining as part of the restructuring of our surface operations.

Blyvoor (discontinued operation)

We acquired Blyvoor in September, 1997, in exchange for 12,693,279 of our ordinary shares. Blyvoor is a predominantly

underground operating mine located within the Witwatersrand Basin, exploiting gently to moderately dipping gold bearing quartz
pebble conglomerates in addition to certain surface sources. In June 2012 we sold our entire interest in Blyvoor to Village. See Item
5A.: “Operating Results - Recent developments” for a more detailed discussion.

Zimbabwe exploration

Chizim Gold

Chizim Gold was established in December 2009 as a 50:50 joint venture with Chizim Investments (Pvt) Limited, or Chizim

Investments, to conduct feasibility studies on certain gold exploration tenements in Zimbabwe’s Greenstone Belt extending over an
area of more than 21,000 hectares. On June 7, 2013 DRDGOLD reduced its holding to 49%. As underground mining is not in line
with DRDGOLD’s strategy, we intend to dispose of our exploration assets in Zimbabwe.

Important Events in Our Development Generally and in the Current Year

Restructuring of the surface operations

In order to improve synergies, effect cost savings and a simpler group structure, DRDGOLD announced, on July 3, 2012,

the restructuring of the group’s surface operations into Ergo Mining (effective July 1, 2012). Ergo Mining is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of EMO.

On July 1, 2012, Ergo Mining acquired the mining assets and certain liabilities of Crown and all the surface assets and

liabilities of ERPM as part of the restructuring of our surface operations. Also as part of this restructuring, Ergo Mining acquired
DRDGOLD's 35% interest in ErgoGold for R200 million. All conditions for DRDGOLD’s disposal of its 35% direct ErgoGold
interest to Ergo Mining have been met. The ERPM and Crown disposals are subject to the consent of the Minister of Mineral
Resources in terms of section 11 of the MPRD Act.

Exploration in Zimbabwe

Exploration activities through our joint venture Chizim Gold indicated underground mining potential at the various sites.

As underground mining is not in line with DRDGOLD’s strategy, we intend to dispose of our exploration assets in Zimbabwe.

DRDGOLD and TCTA agree terms on acid mine drainage

In December 2012, EMO, Ergo Mining and ERPM (collectively referred to as the Ergo Group) entered into heads of

agreement with Trans-Caledon Tunnel Authority (TCTA), aimed at laying a foundation for a self-sustainable solution to acid mine
drainage (AMD) in the Central Witwatersrand Basin.

Pursuant to this heads of agreement, TCTA, acting through directives issued by the Minister of Water and Environmental

Affairs and the Department of Water Affairs, is to construct pumping and treatment facilities to intercept rising acid mine
drainage, or AMD, and to prevent it from reaching the so-called ‘environmental critical level’.

In terms of the heads of agreement, the Ergo Group grants TCTA:

· access to land for the construction of a water treatment plant;
· access to the South West Vertical Shaft of ERPM to construct and operate a pump station to pump AMD to surface;
· the right to construct a sludge pipeline, using servitudes owned by Ergo Group members;
· shared use of an Ergo Group residue pipeline; and
· partial use of the Ergo Group tailings dams for the deposition of up to 4.167m³ of sludge per day, emanating from the
water treatment plant.

Also in terms of the heads of agreement, EMO has an option, at its election, to acquire from TCTA, for its operations, up to

30 mega litres of untreated or partially treated AMD per day, which can be used in our surface operation.

4D.: “Property, Plant and Equipment,” and Item 5B.: “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

4B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Description of Our Mining Business

Surface tailings retreatment

Surface tailings retreatment involves the extraction of gold from old mine dumps, comprising the waste material from earlier

underground gold mining activities. This is done by reprocessing sand dumps and slimes dams along the reefs that stretch from east
to west just to the south of Johannesburg’s central business district (CBD). Sand dumps are the result of the less efficient stamp-
milling process employed in earlier times. They consist of coarse-grained particles which generally contain higher quantities of gold.
Sand dumps are reclaimed mechanically using front end loaders that load sand onto conveyor belts. The sand is fed onto a screen
where water is added to wash the sand into a sump, from where it is pumped to the plant. Most sand dumps have already been
retreated using more efficient milling methods. Lower grade slimes dams are also the result of the old treatment methods but do not
require milling. This material has become economically more viable to process owing to improved treatment methods and a higher
gold price. The material from the slimes dams is broken down using monitor guns that spray jets of high pressure water at the target
area. The resulting slurry is then pumped to a treatment plant for processing.

Underground mining

Our underground mining operations, which have now either been sold or closed down, comprised relatively mature assets

and the principal mining method used was the extraction of Ore Reserves from previously mined-out areas, which required a high
degree of opening up, development and retreatment of these Ore Reserves.

Exploration

Exploration activities are focused on the extension of existing ore bodies and identification of new ore bodies both at

existing sites and at undeveloped sites. Once a potential ore body has been discovered, exploration is extended and intensified in
order to enable clearer definition of the ore body and the portions with the potential to be mined. Geological techniques are constantly
refined to improve the economic viability of exploration and exploitation.

Our Metallurgical Plants and Processes

A detailed review of the metallurgical plants and processes for each of the mining operations is provided under Item 4D.:

“Property, Plant and Equipment.”

Market

The gold market is relatively liquid compared to other commodity markets, with the price of gold generally quoted in

dollars. Physical demand for gold is primarily for manufacturing purposes, and gold is traded on a world-wide basis. Refined gold has
a variety of uses, including jewelry, electronics, dentistry, decorations, medals and official coins. In addition, central banks, financial
institutions and private individuals buy, sell and hold gold bullion as an investment and as a store of value (due to the tendency of
gold to retain its value in relative terms against basic goods and in times of inflation and monetary crises).

The use of gold as a store of value and the large quantities of gold held for this purpose in relation to annual mine production

have meant that historically the potential total supply of gold has been far greater than demand. Thus, while current supply and
demand play some part in determining the price of gold, this does not occur to the same extent as in the case of other commodities.
Instead, the gold price has from time to time been significantly affected by macro-economic factors such as expectations of inflation,
interest rates, exchange rates, changes in reserve policy by central banks, and global or regional political and economic crises. In
times of inflation and currency devaluation, gold is often seen as a safe haven, leading to increased purchases of gold and support for
its price.

The gold market was strong but remained volatile in fiscal 2013, trading between a low of $1,192 per ounce and a high of

$1,792 per ounce. The average spot price was 4% lower than in the previous fiscal year, at $1,606 per ounce. Amid continuing global
economic uncertainty, investors turned once more to gold (notably to safe-haven products such as Exchange Traded Funds) and this,
together with more de-hedging activity and a slowdown in new mine supply, particularly from South Africa, saw demand exceed
supply. The average gold price received by us for fiscal 2013 was R458,084 per kilogram which was 9% higher than the previous
year at R418,538 per kilogram.

Looking ahead, we believe that the global economic environment, including economic uncertainty and other factors, will

continue to make gold attractive to investors. The supply side shortfall is likely to continue because of circumstances including
operational challenges and delays in opening new mines and the challenge, particularly to South African producers such as ourselves,
of maintaining profitable production in the face of rising costs, which may affect production levels, with all of our revenues generated
by our operations in South Africa.

Our total revenue by geographic market was as follows:

All gold we produce is sold on our behalf by Rand Refinery Proprietary Limited, or Rand Refinery, in accordance with a

refining agreement entered into in October 2001. The gold bars which we produce consist of approximately 85% gold, 7-8% silver
and the balance comprises copper and other common elements. The gold bars are sent to Rand Refinery for assaying and final
refining where the gold is purified to 99.9% and cast into troy ounce bars of varying weights. Rand Refinery then usually sells the
gold on the same day as delivery, for the London afternoon fixed Dollar price, with the proceeds remitted to us in rand within two
days. In exchange for this service, we pay Rand Refinery a variable refining fee plus fixed marketing, loan and administration fees.
We currently own 11% (fiscal 2012: 4%) of Rand Refinery. Mr. T.J. Gwebu, our Executive Officer Compliance, is a director of
Rand Refinery, a member of Rand Refinery's Remuneration Committee and chairman of Rand Refinery's Social and Ethics
Committee and Mr. M. Burrell, our Financial Director Ergo Mining, is an alternate director of Rand Refinery and is also a member of
Rand Refinery's Audit Committee.

Ore Reserves

The tables below set out the Proven and Probable Ore Reserves of the Group as of June 30, 2013, and 2012, in both

imperial and metric units. Our Ore Reserves are comprised of our attributable Ore Reserves.

Ore Reserve estimates in this Annual Report are reported in accordance with the requirements of the SEC’s Industry

Guide 7. Accordingly, as of the date of reporting, all reserves are planned to be mined out under the life of mine business plans
within the period of our existing rights to mine, or within the time period of assured renewal periods of our rights to mine. In
addition, as of the date of reporting, all reserves are covered by required permits and governmental approvals. See Item 4D.:
“Property, Plant and Equipment” for a description of the rights in relation to each mine.

In South Africa, we are legally required to publicly report Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources in compliance with the

South African Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, or SAMREC Code. The
SEC’s Industry Guide 7 does not recognize Mineral Resources. Accordingly, we do not include estimates of Mineral Resources in
this Annual Report.

Ore Reserve calculations are subject to a review conducted in accordance with SEC Industry Guide 7. Components of the

calculations included in the geological models and input parameters of the reserve estimation procedures, were checked. In
addition, visual inspection of the planning to deliver an individual block to the metallurgical plant, and the recovery, and
deposition of the tailings, took place. A check is also made of the financial input into the costs and revenue to affirm that they are
within reasonable limits.

The Ore Reserves are inclusive of diluting materials and allow for losses that may occur when the material is mined. Ore

Reserve tons, grade and content are quoted as delivered to the gold plant. There are two types of methods available to select ore for
mining. The first is pay-limit, which includes cash operating costs, including overhead costs, to calculate the pay-limit grade. The
second is the cut-off grade which includes cash operating costs, excluding fixed overhead costs, to calculate the cut-off grade,
resulting in a lower figure than the full pay-limit grade. The cut-off grade is based upon direct costs from the mining plan, taking into
consideration production levels, production efficiencies and the expected costs. We use the pay-limit to determine which areas to
mine, as an overhead inclusive amount that is indicative of the break-even position.

The pay-limit approach is based on the minimum in-situ grade of ore blocks, for which the production costs, which includes

all overhead costs, including head office charges, are equal to a three-year historical average gold price per ounce for that year. This
calculation also considers the previous three years’ mining and milling efficiencies, which includes metallurgical and other mining
factors and the production plan for the next twelve months. Only blocks above the pay-limit grade are considered for mining. The
pay-limit grade is higher than the cut-off grade, because this includes overhead costs, which indicates the break-even position of the
operation.

When delineating the economic limits to the ore bodies, we adhere to the following guidelines:

· The potential ore to be mined is well defined by an externally verified and approved geological model created using our
mining software;
· The potential ore, which is legally allowed to be mined, is also confined by the mine's lease boundaries; and
· A full life of mine business plan (physical 5 year plan) is prepared to mine the ore from existing infrastructure.

Our Ore Reserves figures are estimates, which may not reflect actual reserves or future production. We have prepared these

figures in accordance with industry practice, converting mineral deposits to an Ore Reserve through the preparation of a mining plan.
The Ore Reserve estimates contained herein inherently include a degree of uncertainty and depend to some extent on statistical
inferences which may ultimately prove to have been unreliable.

Reserve estimates require revisions based on actual production experience or new information. Should we encounter

mineralization or formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and similar examinations, reserve estimates
may have to be adjusted and mining plans may have to be altered in a way that might adversely affect our operations. Moreover, if
the price of gold declines, or stabilizes at a price that is lower than recent levels, or if our production costs increase or recovery rates
decrease, it may become uneconomical to recover Ore Reserves containing relatively lower grades of mineralization.

Our Ore Reserves are prepared using three year average gold prices at the time of reserve determination. In light of the

significant increase in gold prices, since fiscal 2006 the Company prepares its life of mine business plans using the prevailing gold
price at the time of the reserve determination, which is at the end of the fiscal year.

Gold prices and exchange rates used for Ore Reserves and for our business plan are outlined in the following table.

In fiscal 2013, our attributable Ore Reserves (imperial) decreased by 8% from 1.8 million ounces at June 30, 2012, to

1.7 million ounces at June 30, 2013, primarily as a consequence of mining activity.

Based on the life of mine business plans, the life of mine for our operations at June 30, 2013, are set out in the table

Ergo’s Ore Reserves include the Elsburg and Benoni tailings complexes which are being processed by Ergo, however the mining rights for these tailings are owned by ERPM. Crown has been included under

Ergo for fiscal 2013 and 2012.

The Ore Reserves listed in the above table are estimates of what can be legally and economically recovered from operations, and, as stated, are estimates of tons delivered to the mill.

The measurement and classification of our Proven and Probable Ore Reserves are sensitive to an extent to the fluctuation of

the gold price. If we had used different gold prices than the three-year average prices at the time of reserve determination, as of June
30, 2013 and 2012 respectively, we would not have had significantly different reserves as of those dates. Using the same
methodology and assumptions as were used to estimate Ore Reserves but with different gold prices, our attributable Ore Reserves as
of June 30, 2013 and 2012 would be as follows:

Governmental regulations and their effects on our business

Common Law Mineral Rights and Statutory Mining Rights

Prior to the introduction of the Minerals and Petroleum Resources Development Act, or MPRD Act, in 2002, ownership in

mineral rights in South Africa could be acquired through the common law or by statute. With effect from May 1, 2004, all minerals
have been placed under the custodianship of the South African government under the provisions of the MPRD Act, and old order
proprietary rights were required to be converted to new order rights of use within certain prescribed periods, as dealt with in more
detail below.

Old Order Rights - Mining Authorizations

Schedule II of the MPRD Act allows the Minister to grant, on application, appropriate rights over the same mineral on the

same land which is the subject of the old order right. By way of example, holders of unused old order rights had for a period of one
year from the effective date of the MPRD Act the exclusive right to apply for an appropriate right in terms of item 8 of Schedule II.
Once an old order right is lodged for conversion at the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR), it remains in force until it is
converted.

Conversion of Rights under the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002

Existing old order rights were required to be converted into new order rights in order to ensure exclusive access to the

mineral for which rights existed at the time of the enactment of the MPRD Act. In respect of used old order mining rights, the DMR
is obliged to convert the rights if the applicant complies with certain statutory criteria. These include the submission of a mining
works program, demonstrable technical and financial capability to give effect to the program, provision for environmental
management and rehabilitation, and compliance with certain black economic empowerment criteria and the social and labor plan.
These applications had to be submitted within five years after the promulgation of the MPRD Act on May 1, 2004. Similar
procedures apply where we hold prospecting rights and a prospecting permit and conduct prospecting operations. Under the MPRD
Act, mining rights are not perpetual, but endure for a fixed period, namely a maximum period of thirty years, after which they may be
renewed for a further period of thirty years. Prospecting rights are limited to five years, with one further period of renewal of three
years. Applications for conversion of our old order rights were submitted to the DMR within the requisite time periods. During this
period, we are permitted to continue to operate under the terms and conditions of the old order rights which we hold. As at September
30, 2013, a substantial portion of our old order mining rights have been converted into new order rights under the terms of the MPRD
Act but await registration at the Mineral and Petroleum Titles Registration Office of the DMR.

Mining royalties

Effective March 1, 2010, royalties from mining activities became payable to the state under provisions contained in the

Mineral and Petroleum Resources Royalty Act, or the Royalty Act. The most significant feature of the Royalty Act is that the
royalty is to be determined in accordance with a formula based system and no longer to be a predetermined specific rate for the
different types of minerals. The royalty is deductible for normal income tax purposes.

The Royalty Act defines the tax base as gross sales excluding the transportation and handling costs of the final product.

The final product can be either the “refined” or “unrefined” mineral depending on the nature of the mineral in question. There has
been general consensus that a formula derived mineral royalty rate regime is more equitable and provides the necessary relief for
mines during times of difficulties, e.g. low commodity prices and mines that become marginal due to low grades. The formula-
based mineral royalty rate regime also ensures that the State shares in the benefits of higher commodity prices. The State thus
shares in the downside risks, when mines become marginal, and in the upside benefits during times of high commodity prices.
Based on comments received, the formulae were adjusted to take into account the capital intensive nature of certain mining
operations, especially Gold mining and Oil and Gas. The formulae use earnings before income tax, or EBIT, with 100 percent
capital expensing.

Given that a distinction is drawn between refined and unrefined minerals, the mineral royalty percentage rates (Y%) is

based on the following formulae:

· For refined minerals: Y (%) = 0.5 + [(EBIT divided by (Gross Sales multiplied by 12.5)) multiplied by 100]. This rate is
capped at a maximum of 5.0% with a minimum of 0.5%.

· For unrefined minerals: Y (%) = 0.5 + [(EBIT divided by (Gross Sales multiplied by 9.0)) multiplied by 100]. This rate is
capped at a maximum of 7.0% with a minimum of 0.5%.

For the purpose of calculating the royalty percentage rates a negative EBIT will be set equal to zero.

The Broad Based Socio-Economic Empowerment Charter

In order to promote broad based participation in mining revenue, the MPRD Act provides for a Mining Charter to be

developed by the Minister within six months of commencement of the MPRD Act, beginning May 1, 2004. The Mining Charter was
initially published in August 2004 and was subsequently amended in September 2010. Its objectives include:

· increased direct and indirect ownership of mining entities by qualifying parties as defined in the Mining Charter;
· expansion of opportunities for persons disadvantaged by unfair discrimination under the previous political dispensation;
· expansion of the skills base of such persons, the promotion of employment and advancement of the social and economic
welfare of mining communities; and
· promotion of beneficiation.

The Mining Charter sets certain goals on equity participation (amount of equity participation and time frames) by

historically disadvantaged South Africans of South African mining assets. It recommends that these are achieved by, among other
methods, disposal of assets by mining companies to historically disadvantaged persons on a willing seller, willing buyer basis at fair
market value. The goals set by the Mining Charter require each mining company to achieve 15 percent ownership by historically
disadvantaged South Africans of its South African mining assets within five years and 26 percent ownership by May 1, 2014. It also
sets out guidelines and goals in respect of employment equity at management level with a view to achieving 40 percent participation
by historically disadvantaged persons in management and ten percent participation by women in the mining industry, each within five
years from May 1, 2004. Compliance with these objectives is measured on the weighted average “scorecard” approach in accordance
with a scorecard which was first published in or around August 2010.

The Mining Charter and the related scorecard are not legally binding and, instead, simply state a public policy. However,

the DMR places significant emphasis on the compliance therewith. The Mining Charter and scorecard, have a decisive effect on
administrative action taken under the MPRD Act.

In recognition of the Mining Charter’s objectives of transforming the mining industry by increasing the number of black

people in the industry to reflect the country’s population demographics, to empower and enable them to meaningfully participate
in and sustain the growth of the economy, thereby advancing equal opportunity and equitable income distribution, we have
achieved our commitment to ownership compliance with the MPRD Act through our existing black economic empowerment
structure with Khumo Gold and the DRDSA Empowerment Trust. Our black economic empowerment partners, Khumo Gold and the
DRDSA Empowerment Trust, hold 20% and 6%, respectively, in our operating subsidiary, EMO. (See Item 4A.: “History and
Development of the Company”).

Mine Health and Safety Regulation

The South African Mine Health and Safety Act, 1996 (as amended), or the Mine Health and Safety Act, came into effect in

January 1997. The principal object of the Mine Health and Safety Act is to improve health and safety at South African mines and to
this end, imposes various duties on us at our mines, and grants the authorities broad powers to, among other things, close unsafe
mines and order corrective action relating to health and safety matters. In the event of any future accidents at any of our mines,
regulatory authorities could take steps which could increase our costs and/or reduce our production capacity. The 2009
amendments to the Act dealt with inter alia the stoppage of production and increase punitive measures including increased
financial fines and legal liability of mine management. Some of the more important new provisions in the 2009 amendment bill
are the insertion of a new section 50(7A) that obliges an inspector to impose a prohibition on the further functioning of a site
where a person’s death, serious injury or illness to a person, or a health threatening occurrence has occurred; a new section 86A(1)
creating a new offence for any person who contravenes or fails to comply with the provisions of the Mine Health and Safety Act
thereby causing a person’s death or serious injury or illness to a person. Subsection (3) further provides that (a) the “fact that the
person issued instructions prohibiting the performance or an omission is not in itself sufficient proof that all reasonable steps were
taken to prevent the performance or omission”; and that (b) “the defense of ignorance or mistake by any person accused cannot be
permitted”; or that (c) “the defense that the death of a person, injury, illness or endangerment was caused by the performance or an
omission of any individual within the employ of the employer may not be admitted”; a new section 86A(2) creating an offence of
vicarious liability for the employer where a Chief Executive Officer, manager, agent or employee of the employer committed an
offence and the employer either connived at or permitted the performance or an omission by the Chief Executive Officer,
manager, agent or employee concerned; or did not take all reasonable steps to prevent the performance or an omission. The
maximum fines have also been increased. Any owner convicted in terms of section 86 or 86A may be sentenced to “withdrawal or
suspension of the permit” or to a fine of R3 million or a period of imprisonment not exceeding five years or to both such fine and
imprisonment, while the maximum fine for other offences and for administrative fines have all been increased, with the highest
being R1 million. The President assented to the amendment bill in April 2009. The amendment Act was proclaimed and came into
law in May 2009.

Under the South African Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act, 1993 (as amended), or COID Act,

employers are required to contribute to a fund specifically created for the purpose of compensating employees or their dependants for
disability or death arising in the course of their work. Employees who are incapacitated in the course of their work have no claim for
compensation directly from the employer and must claim compensation from the COID Act fund. Employees are entitled to
compensation without having to prove that the injury or disease was caused by negligence on the part of the employer, although if
negligence is involved, increased compensation may be payable by this fund. The COID Act relieves employers of the prospect of
costly damages, but does not relieve employers from liability for negligent acts caused to third parties outside the scope of
employment. In fiscal 2013, we contributed approximately R2.2 million under the COID Act to a multi-employer industry fund
administered by Rand Mutual Assurance Limited.

Under the Occupational Diseases in Mines and Works Act, 1973 (as amended), or the Occupational Diseases Act, the multi-

employer fund pays compensation to employees of mines performing “risk work,” usually in circumstances where the employee is
exposed to dust, gases, vapors, chemical substances or other working conditions which are potentially harmful, or if the employee
contracts a “compensatable disease,” which includes pneumoconiosis, tuberculosis, or a permanent obstruction of the airways. No
employee is entitled to benefits under the Occupational Diseases Act for any disease for which compensation has been received or is
still to be received under the COID Act. Currently the Group is compliant with these payment requirements, which are based on a
combination of the employee costs and claims made during the fiscal year.

Uranium and radon are often encountered during the ordinary course of gold mining operations in South Africa, and present

potential risks for radiation exposure of workers at those operations and the public to radiation in the nearby vicinity. We monitor our
uranium and radon emissions and believe that we are currently in compliance with all local laws and regulations pertaining to
uranium and radon management and that we are within the current legislative exposure limits prescribed for workers and the public,
under the Nuclear Energy Act, 1999 (as amended) and Regulations from the National Nuclear Regulator.

Environmental Regulation

Managing the impact of mining on the environment is extensively regulated by statute in South Africa. Recent statutory

enactments set compliance standards both generally, in the case of the National Environmental Management Act, and in respect of
specific areas of environment impact, as in the case of the Air Quality Act 2004, the National Water Act (managing effluent), and the
Nuclear Regulator Act 1999. Liability for environmental damage is also extended beyond the corporate veil to impose personal
liability on managers and directors of mining corporations that are found to have violated applicable laws.

The impact on the environment by mining operations is extensively regulated by the MPRD Act. The MPRD Act has

onerous provisions for personal liability of directors of companies whose mining operations have an unacceptable impact on the
environment.

Mining companies are also required to demonstrate both the technical and financial ability to sustain an ongoing

environmental management program, or EMP, and achieve ultimate rehabilitation, the particulars of which are to be incorporated in
an EMP. This program is required to be submitted and approved by the DMR as a prerequisite for the issue of a new order mining
right. Various funding mechanisms are in place, including trust funds, guarantees and concurrent rehabilitation budgets, to fund the
rehabilitation liability.

The MPRD Act imposes specific, ongoing environmental monitoring and financial reporting obligations on the holders of

mining rights.

Our environmental risks have been addressed in EMPs which have been submitted to the DMR for approval. Additionally,

key environmental issues have been prioritized and are being addressed through active management input and support as well as
progress measured in terms of activity schedules and timescales determined for each activity.

Our existing reporting and controls framework is consistent with the additional reporting and assessment requirements of the

MPRD Act.

Financial Provision for Rehabilitation

We are required to make financial provision for the cost of mine closure and post-closure rehabilitation, including

monitoring once the mining operations cease. We have funded these environmental rehabilitation costs by making contributions over
the life of the mine to environmental trust funds established for each operation and funds held in insurance instruments. Funds are
irrevocably contributed to trusts that function under the authority of trustees that have been appointed by, and who owe a statutory
duty of trust, to the Master of the High Court of South Africa. The funds held in these trusts are invested primarily in interest bearing
debt securities. As of June 30, 2013, we held a total of R86.4 million (2012: R106.3 million) in trust, the balance held in each fund
being Rnil (2012: R24.3 million) for Durban Deep, R78.6 million (2012: R59.6 million) for Ergo, R7.7 million (2012: R22.4 million)
for ERPM. Trustee meetings are held as required, and quarterly reports on the financial status of the funds, are submitted to our board
of directors.

The financial provisions for West Wits and Durban Deep have been consolidated into a single rehabilitation trust. The West

Wits financial provision has been derecognized as at June 30, 2011, 2012 and 2013 and the Durban Deep financial provision as at
June 30, 2013, because it will be transferred along with the rehabilitation liability over the West Wits mining rights which have been
disposed of.

We address shortfalls in the funds by accruing trust investment income for the benefit of the funds by replenishing it with

the proceeds from the sale of redundant mining equipment at the end of the life of the mine and gold from mine cleanup. If any of the
operations are prematurely closed, the rehabilitation funds may be insufficient to meet all the rehabilitation obligations of those
operations.

Whereas the old Minerals Act allowed for the establishment of a fully funded rehabilitation fund over the life of mine, the

MPRD Act assumes a fully compliant fund at any given time in the production life of a mine. The DMR appears to have taken a
practical approach in dealing with this change, and has indicated that the traditional ring fencing of funds may, for investment
purposes be relaxed, and that insurance instruments may also be received subject to the DMR’s consent, to make up the shortfall in
available cash funds. The Company has subsequently made use of approved insurance products for a portion of its rehabilitation
liabilities. As of June 30, 2013, we held a total of R90.7 million (2012: R59.3 million) in funds held in insurance instruments.

The aggregate group rehabilitation, reclamation and closure cost provision was R524.3 million at June 30, 2013, compared

to R504.3 million at June 30, 2012. This has been included in the provision for environmental rehabilitation in our financial
statements as at June 30, 2013.

Description of Significant Subsidiaries, Properties and Mining Operations

Witwatersrand Basin Geology

Ergo, consists of the ErgoGold, Crown and ERPM’s Cason operations, located on surface close to the Witwatersrand Basin.

Crown exploits various surface sources, including sand and slime tailings deposited as part of historical mining operations. ERPM,
halted its underground mining operation in October 2008. Ergo is a surface retreatment operation which is currently processing slime
tailings from the Elsburg tailings facility, which were historically deposited by ERPM’s underground mining operation.

The Witwatersrand Basin comprises a 4 mile (6 kilometers) vertical thickness of sedimentary rocks situated within the

Kaapvaal Craton, extending laterally for approximately 186 miles (299 kilometers) East-Northeast and 62 miles (100 kilometers)
South-Southeast. The sedimentary rocks generally dip at shallow angles towards the center of the basin, though locally this may vary.
The Witwatersrand Basin is Achaean in age and the sedimentary rocks are considered to be approximately 2.7 to 2.8 billion years old.

Gold mineralization in the Witwatersrand Basin occurs within horizons termed reefs. These occur within seven separate

goldfields located along the eastern, northern and western margins of the basin. These goldfields are known as the Evander Goldfield,
the East Rand Goldfield, the West Rand Goldfield, the Far West Rand Goldfield, the Central Rand Goldfield, the Klerksdorp
Goldfield and the Free State Goldfield. As a result of faulting and other primary controls of mineralization, the goldfields are not
continuous and are characterized by the presence or dominance of different reef units. The reefs are generally less than 6 feet (2
meters) thick but, in certain instances, these deposits form stacked clastic wedges which are hundreds of feet thick.

The gold generally occurs in native form within the various reefs, often associated with pyrite and carbon.

Blyvoor, which was sold on June 1, 2012, was predominantly an underground operating mine located within the

Witwatersrand Basin, exploiting gold bearing reefs in addition to certain surface sources.

Ergo

Overview

We own 74% of EMO, which in turn owns 100% of Ergo. Ergo is a surface tailings retreatment operation consisting of

the Ergo Mining, Crown, ERPM’s Cason operation and ErgoGold business units which are collectively referred to as Ergo.
ERPM’s Cason Dump surface tailings retreatment operation is expected to continue to operate until 2014 under the management
of Ergo based on the current rate of retreatment of approximately 186,000 tpm. Ergo undertakes the retreatment of surface sources
deposited as tailing from non-operating mining sites across central and east Johannesburg. In order to improve synergies, effect cost
savings and a simpler group structure, DRDGOLD restructured the group’s surface operations (Crown, ErgoGold and surface assets
of ERPM) into Ergo Mining with effect from July 1, 2012.

At June 30, 2013, Ergo had 2,659 employees, including specialized service providers such as Frase Alexander Tailings.

Properties

Ergo's operations are located approximately 43 miles (70 kilometers) east of the Johannesburg’s central business district in

the province of Gauteng. Access to the Brakpan plant is via the Ergo Road on the N17 Johannesburg-Springs motorway.

Crown is situated on the outskirts of Johannesburg, South Africa and consists of three separate locations. It has mining

rights to 5,787 acres (2,342 hectares) and has the right to occupy 1,490 acres (603 hectares) of freehold property. Crown is in the
process of converting these old order rights to new order rights under the MPRD Act. At Crown, the Lycaste dump prospecting right
and the Top Star dump, City Deep, Crown Mines, Consolidated Main Reef and Knights mining rights have been approved. An
application has been submitted to the DMR for the Crown mining rights to be consolidated.

The Crown Central operation is located on the West Wits line within the Central Goldfield of the Witwatersrand Basin,

approximately 6 miles (10 kilometers) west of the Johannesburg central business district in the province of Gauteng. Access is via
Xavier Road on the M1 Johannesburg-Kimberley-Bloemfontein highway.

The City Deep operation is located on the West Wits line within the Central Goldfields of the Witwatersrand Basin,

approximately 3 miles (5 kilometers) south-east of the Johannesburg central business district in the province of Gauteng. Access is
via the Heidelberg Road on the M2 Johannesburg-Germiston motorway.

The Knights operation is located at Stanley and Knights Road Germiston off the R29 Main Reef Road.

History of Ergo

2005

Anglo American Corporation commissioned the Ergo plant in Brakpan in 1977. The operation became part of
AngloGold Ashanti in 1998 and was closed by that company in 2005.

2007

Ergo was founded by EMO (owned by DRDGOLD at the time) and Mintails SA as a joint venture.
On August 6, 2007, the joint venture parties entered into an agreement with AngloGold Ashanti, pursuant to which it
acquired the remaining assets of the Ergo plant for consideration of R42.8 million.
Additional agreements were concluded with AngloGold Ashanti on November 14, 2007 for the acquisition by Ergo of
additional tailings properties and the Withok deposition complex for consideration of R45.0 million.

2008

Ergo Phase 1 was launched comprising the refurbishment and recomissioning of the Ergo plant’s first CIL circuit and
the retreatment of the Elsburg and Benoni tailings complexes.
DRDGOLD acquires Mintails SA’s stake in ErgoGold for R277.0 million.

2009

Ergo Phase 1 commissioning continues; first feeder line to the Ergo Plant from Elsburg tailings complex comes into
operation.
Ergo Phase 2 exploration drilling for gold, uranium and acid completed.

2010

DRDGOLD acquired control of Ergo Mining through the acquisition of Mintails SA’s 50% in Ergo for R82.1 million.
Ergo Phase 1 production ramp-up nears completion with the installation of the second Elsburg tailings complex feeder
line to the Ergo plant. Construction of the Crown/Ergo pipeline commenced.

2011

Construction of the Crown/Ergo pipeline continued and the second CIL circuit of the Ergo plant was refurbished as part
of the Crown/Ergo pipeline project.

2012

The construction of the Crown/Ergo pipeline and second CIL circuit of the Ergo plant was completed.
Construction of the Ergo flotation/fine-grind plant commenced and is expected to be fully commissioned by December
2013.

2013

In order to improve synergies, effect cost savings and a simpler group structure DRDGOLD restructured the group’s
surface operations into Ergo Mining on July 1, 2012, which consisted of Crown, the surface operations of ERPM and
ErgoGold.

History of Crown (consolidated into Ergo on July 1, 2012)

1979

Rand Mines Limited directors approved the formation of the company Rand Mines Milling and Mining Limited (RM3)
to treat the surface gold tailings created from the underground section of the original Crown Mines, which had been in
operation since the start of gold mining on the Witwatersrand in the late 1800's.

1982

First plant commissioned at Crown Mines to process surface material.

1986

Second plant commissioned at City Deep to process surface material.

1997

Randgold Exploration Limited and Continental Goldfields of Australia entered into a joint venture with the intention to
establish a company that would acquire dump retreatment operations on the Witwatersrand. This resulted in the
formation of Crown Consolidated Gold Recoveries Limited, or CCGR, which was incorporated as a public company in
South Africa in May 1997. Crown was a wholly owned subsidiary of CCGR and consists of the surface retreatment
operations of Crown Central, City Deep and Knights.

1998

We purchased 100% of CCGR.

2002

Khumo Bathong Holdings Proprietary Limited (KBH) purchased 60% of Crown. We were appointed as joint manager of
the operation with KBH.

2005

On July 6, 2005 we signed a Memorandum of Understanding with KBH regarding the acquisition by Khumo Gold of a
15% stake in our then South African operations.
On October 27, 2005, our board of directors approved the transaction with Khumo Gold. The new structure resulted in
Khumo Gold acquiring a 15% interest in a newly created vehicle, EMO, which included 100% of ERPM, Crown and
Blyvoor. As a result we owned an 85% interest in EMO.

2006

On December 11, 2006, Khumo Gold, on behalf of itself and an employee trust, exercised the option granted by us
pursuant to the option agreement concluded between us and Khumo Gold in October 2005 to acquire a further 11% in
EMO.
On August 28, 2006, Crown concluded an agreement with AngloGold Ashanti to purchase the Top Star Dump.

2008

The Department of Mineral Resources issued in favour of Crown a mining right for gold recovery over the Top Star
Dump.

2009

The reclamation of the Top Star Dump commenced in December 2008. Crown also commenced with the reduction of
volumes to 400,000 tpm to implement the planned Crown Tailings Deposition Facility closure plan.

2010

The surface circuit of ERPM was incorporated into Crown for reporting purposes.
Board approval was obtained to construct a pipeline to the Ergo tailings deposition site to enable Crown to restore its
deposition capacity to 600,000tpm. Restored deposition capacity provides the operation with the opportunity to bring to
account potential new ore reserves.

2011

Construction of the pipeline to the Ergo tailings deposition site continued and was scheduled for completion in
December 2011.

2012

Construction of the pipeline to the Ergo tailings deposition site was completed.

2013

On July 1, 2012, Crown sold its mining assets, mining and prospecting rights and certain liabilities to Ergo Mining in
exchange for shares in Ergo Mining.

Mining and Processing

Ergo undertakes the retreatment of surface sources deposited as tailings from non-operational mining sites from east to

west, just to the south of Johannesburg’s central business district.

Material processed by Ergo is sourced from numerous secondary surface sources namely, sand and slime. The surface

sources have generally undergone a complex depositional history resulting in grade variations associated with improvements in
plant recovery over the period of time the material was deposited. Archive material is a secondary source of gold bearing material.
This material is generally made up of old gold metallurgical plant sites as well as “river bed” material.

Our four metallurgical plants, known as Ergo, Crown Mines, City Deep and Knights, have an installed capacity to treat

approximately 24.0 million tons of material per year. All of the plants have undergone various modifications during recent years
resulting in significant changes to the processing circuits.

In addition to the four metallurgical plants, Ergo’s assets include: access to some 750Mt to 900Mt of tailings deposited

across the western, central and eastern Witwatersrand; the Crown milling and pump station close to the Johannesburg central business
district; a 50km pipeline; and tailings deposition facilities including the significant Brakpan tailings facility.

The feed stock is made up of sand and slime which are reclaimed separately. Sand is reclaimed using mechanical front-

end loaders, re-pulped with water and pumped to the plant. Slime is reclaimed using high pressure water monitoring guns. The re-
pulped slime is pumped to the plant and the reclaimed material is treated using screens, cyclones, ball mills and Carbon-in-Leach,
or CIL, technology to extract the gold.

Set forth below is a description of each of our plants:

Ergo Plant: The expansion of the gold plant by refurbishing the second CIL circuit has increased the capacity to treat an
estimated 21Mt per year. The Ergo flotation/fine-grind plant project, which will be fully commissioned by December 2013,
will assist in liberating the gold particles currently encapsulated in the sulphides. The circuit will enable the Ergo plant to
achieve improved gold recoveries of between 16% and 20%.

City Deep Plant: Commissioned in 1987, this surface/underground plant comprises a circuit including screening, primary,

secondary and tertiary cycloning in closed circuit milling, thickening, oxygen preconditioning, CIL, elution and zinc
precipitation followed by calcining and smelting to doré. Retreatment continued at the City Deep Plant until the plant was
decommissioned in August 2013 to operate as a milling and pump station and is pumping material to the Ergo Plant for
retreatment.

Crown Mines Plant: Commissioned in 1982, this surface/underground plant has already been modified and comprises a

circuit including screening, primary cycloning, open circuit milling, thickening, oxygen preconditioning, CIP and CIL,
elution, zinc precipitation followed by calcining and smelting to doré. In June 2012, the gold extraction portion of the Crown
plant was discontinued and all material is now only screened, milled and thickened. This material is then pumped to the
Ergo plant for the final extraction of gold.

Knights Plant: Commissioned in 1988, this surface/underground plant comprises a circuit including screening, primary

cycloning, milling in closed circuit with hydrocyclones, thickening, oxygen preconditioning, CIL, elution, electro-winning
and smelting to doré. The Knights plant, although historically part of the Crown operation, is located further east and
considerably closer to the Brakpan Tailings Facility. Knights is therefore continuing to treat the nearby Cason dump and due
to its location, is able to access the Brakpan tailings facility to deposit waste.

Electricity to the Ergo plant is supplied from various Eskom supply points for the reclamation units and the tailings

storage facilities. The plant is supplied from the national power grid via a secured source from the Ekurhuleni Council of 11,000
volts. Plant sub stations are stepped down to 6,600 volts before being further reduced to 525 volts for the motor control purposes.
For the Ergo plant the average annual power consumption is about 149 GWHr and the maximum demand is about 32.0MVA.

Electricity is supplied to the Crown Mines and City Deep plants from separate substations referred to as Jupiter and No.

15 Shaft Crown Mines, and for Knights by the Ekhurhuleni Town Council. Electricity is supplied directly from the national power
grid to the substation and town council at 44,000 volts. Substations, located on mine sites, transform the power to 6,600 volts for
direct supply to the plants. The power supply is further reduced to 525 volts for smaller devices and equipment. For Crown Mines
and City Deep, the average annual power consumption is about 54 GWHr and 80GWHr, respectively and the maximum demand
are about 15.0MVA and 13.0MVA, respectively. For Knights the average annual power consumption is about 60 GWHr and the
maximum demand is about 14.2MVA.

As of June 30, 2013, the net book value of Ergo’s mining assets was R1,729.5 million.

During fiscal 2013, capital expenditure was mainly directed towards the Ergo flotation/fine-grind plant project. The Ergo

flotation/fine-grind plant is expected to improve gold recoveries by between 16% and 20%.

The following capital expenditure was incurred at Ergo in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011:

Exploration and Development

Exploration and development activity at Ergo involves the drilling of existing surface dumps and evaluating the potential

gold bearing surface material owned by third parties that could be processed on a full treatment basis or purchased outright by Ergo.
Exploration drilling has been done to define the uranium potential of the Elsburg complex. Independent competent person reports
on uranium, sulphur and gold for the Elsburg Proven and Probable Ore Reserves have been compiled.

Environmental and Closure Aspects

Ergo operates at sites located in close proximity to significant municipal infrastructure, commercial and residential

development. The major environmental risks are associated with dust from various recovery sites, and effective management of
relocated process material on certain tailings dams. The impact of windblown dust on the surrounding environment and community is
addressed through a scientific monitoring and evaluation process, with active input from Professor H. Annagran from the University
of Johannesburg and appropriate community involvement. Environmental management programs, addressing a wide range of
environmental issues, have been prepared by specialist environmental consultants and applied specifically to each dust sample
recovery monitoring site and integrated into Ergo’s internal environmental assessment process. Although Ergo completed a project
for thickening re-processed tailings, there also remains a risk of localized sloughing which can result in that section of the tailings
dam required to be closed temporarily, with repair work being done to the dam wall. Water pollution is controlled by means of a
comprehensive system of return water dams which allow for used water to be recycled for use in Ergo’s metallurgical plants.
Overflows of return water dams may, depending on their location, pollute surrounding streams and wetlands. Ergo has an ongoing
monitoring program to ensure that its water balances (in its reticulation system, on its tailings and its return water dams) are
maintained at levels that are sensitive to the capacity of return water dams.

Dust pollution is controlled through an active environmental management program for the residue disposal sites and

chemical and organic dust suppression on recovery sites. Short-term dust control is accomplished through ridge ploughing the top
surface of dormant tailings dams. Additionally, environmentally friendly dust suppressants, such as molasses, are applied. Dust fall-
out is also monitored. In the long-term, dust suppression and water pollution is managed through a program of progressive vegetation
of the tailings followed by the application of lime, to reduce the natural acidic conditions, and fertilizer to assist in the growth of
vegetation planted on the tailings dam.

A program of environmental restoration that provides for the rehabilitation of areas affected by mining operations during the

life of the mine is in place. The surface reclamation process at Ergo has several environmental merits as it has removed a potential
pollution source and opens up land for development.

While the ultimate amount of rehabilitation costs to be incurred in the future is uncertain, as at June 30, 2013 we estimated

that the total cost for Ergo, is approximately R501.1 million. As at June 30, 2013, a total of R78.6 million has been contributed to the
Crown Rehabilitation Trust Fund, while a total of R44.6 million has been contributed by Ergo to funds held in insurance instruments.
The Crown Rehabilitation Trust Fund is an irrevocable trust, managed by specific responsible people who we nominated and who are
appointed as trustees by the Master of the High Court of South Africa.

Ore Reserves and Life of Mine

As at June 30, 2013, our 74% share of the Proven and Probable Ore Reserves of Ergo was 1.7 million ounces. In fiscal 2012,

our 74% share of Proven and Probable Ore Reserves of Ergo was 1.8 million ounces. A Mineral Resource competent person is
appointed at each operation to review our Ore Reserve calculations for accuracy. For Ergo, Mr. Vivian Labuschagne and Mr. Gary
John Viljoen are the appointed Mineral Resource competent persons. The current life of mine business plan is estimated to be nine
years.

Production

In fiscal 2013, production increased to 146,381 ounces from 135,708 ounces in fiscal 2012 as a result of an 8% increase in

throughput to 23,254,000 tonnes from 21,603 000 tonnes. Grade was slightly up from 0.195g/t to 0.196g/t.

Cash operating costs in fiscal 2013 stayed flat at $1,094 per ounce compared to $1,094 per ounce in fiscal 2012, due mainly

to the higher gold production which off-set above inflation increases in the cost of electricity and labor.

ERPM

Overview

We own 74% of ERPM, which is consolidated as a subsidiary, through our 74% holding in EMO. ERPM consists of an

underground section and the Cason Dump surface retreatment operation. Underground mining at ERPM was halted in October 2008
and is included in ‘Corporate head-office and all other’ in the financial statements for segmental reporting purposes for all three years
preserved. The Cason Dump surface retreatment operation will continue to operate until June 2014 under the management of Ergo
based on the current rate of production of approximately 186,000tpm and has been included under Ergo in the financial statements for
segmental reporting purposes.

At June 30, 2013, ERPM had 71 employees, including specialized service providers.

Cash operating cost, cash operating cost per ounce, all-in sustaining cost per ounce and all-in cost per ounce of gold are financial measures of

performance that we use to determine cash generating capacities of the mines and to monitor performance of our mining operations. For a
reconciliation of operating costs see Item 5A.: “Operating Results.”

Property

ERPM is situated on the Central Rand Goldfield located within and near the northern margin of the Witwatersrand Basin

in the town of Boksburg, 20 miles (32 kilometers) east of Johannesburg. Access is via Jet Park Road on the N12 Boksburg-
Benoni highway. Historically underground mining and recovery operations comprised relatively shallow remnant pillar mining in
the central area and conventional longwall mining in the south-eastern area. Surface reclamation operations including the
treatment of sand from the Cason Dump, is conducted through the Knights metallurgical plant, tailings deposition facilities and
associated facilities. Until underground mining was halted in October 2008, the mine exploited the conglomeratic South Reef,
Main Reef Leader and Main Reef in the central area and the Composite Reef in the south-eastern area. ERPM operates under
mining license ML5/1997 in respect of statutory mining and mineral rights.

At June 30, 2013, the net book value of ERPM’s mining assets was Rnil due to the transfer of ERPM’s related surface

mining assets to Ergo as part of the restructuring which took place on July 1, 2012.

History

1895

Formation of East Rand Proprietary Mines Limited.

1991

The FEV shaft was commissioned.

1999

East Rand Proprietary Mines Limited was liquidated in August 1999. The mine was run by a small number of
employees during liquidation. Underground flooding continued during liquidation.

2000

KBH took over control of the mine in January 2000. Operating as Enderbrooke Investments Proprietary Limited, or
Enderbrooke, and employing an outside contractor, the mine re-commenced mining operations in February 2000.

2002

Crown purchased 100% of ERPM, from Enderbrooke.

2003

An underground fire occurred at FEV Shaft, in February 2003. There was also the loss of Hercules Shaft in June 2003
and the loss of a secondary outlet at the FEV shaft in November 2003.

2004

In July 2004 it was determined that the underground section would undergo a controlled closure program ending March
2005. The closure program was prevented by a reduction in costs and improved productivity at the mine.

2005

Central Shaft placed on care and maintenance. On July 6, 2005, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding with KBH
regarding the acquisition by Khumo Gold of a 15% stake in our South African operations. On October 27, 2005, our
board of directors approved the transaction with Khumo Gold. The new structure resulted in Khumo Gold acquiring a
15% interest in a newly created vehicle, EMO, which includes 100% of ERPM, Crown and Blyvoor. We owned an 85%
interest in EMO.

2006

On December 11, 2006, Khumo Gold, on behalf of itself and an employee trust, exercised the option granted by us
pursuant to the option agreement concluded between us and Khumo Gold in October 2005 to acquire a further 11% in
EMO.
A prospecting right covering an area of 1,252 hectares (3,093 acres) of the neighboring Sallies lease area, referred to as
ERPM Extension 1 was granted by the DMR.

2007

A prospecting right, incorporating the southern section of the old Van Dyk mining lease area and a small portion of
Sallies, was granted by the DMR. Known as ERPM Extension 2, the additional area is 5,500ha (13,590 acres).

2008

On April 25, 2008, ERPM gave notice of intention to restructure the work force due to operational requirements and 239
employees were retrenched during June 2008.
On October 23, 2008, ERPM announced the suspension of drilling and blasting operations underground, following the
cessation of pumping of underground water at the South West Vertical shaft on October 6, 2008 for safety reasons
following the deaths of two employees.
On November 19, 2008, we announced our intention to place on care and maintenance the underground operations of
ERPM, and to proceed with a consultation process in terms of Section 189A of the Labor Relations Act to determine the
future of the mine’s 1,700 employees.

2009

In January 2009, consultations in terms of Section 189A of the Labor Relations Act regarding the future of employees
affected by the placing on care and maintenance of the underground operations were concluded and 1,335 employees
were retrenched. In August 2009 the care and maintenance of the underground operations was discontinued.

2010

ERPM’s surface operation, the Cason Dump, was incorporated into Crown for reporting purposes.

2013

On July 1, 2012, ERPM sold all of its surface mining assets (excluding its 50% interest in Ergo) and its 65% interest in
ErgoGold to Ergo Mining in exchange for shares in Ergo Mining.

Mining and Processing

Underground mining operations at ERPM comprised of two vertical shafts known as FEV Shaft and the Central Shaft.

There were also three additional shafts namely the South East Vertical Shaft, or SEV Shaft, used for the transport of employees and
materials and the hoisting of rock, the South West Vertical, or SWV, Shaft and the Hercules Shaft that were used for water pumping
only. The Cason Dump was used for the retreatment of surface material mined from the defunct Cason shaft.

On October 23, 2008, drilling and blasting operations were suspended after the cessation of pumping of underground water

at SWV Shaft on October 6, 2008 for safety reasons following the deaths of two employees at the shaft on September 19, 2008.

On November 19, 2008, we announced our intention to place on care and maintenance the underground operations of

ERPM, and to proceed with a consultation process in terms of Section 189A of the Labor Relations Act to determine the future of
the mine’s 1,700 employees. In January 2009, the consultations were concluded and 1,335 employees were retrenched. On August
20, 2009, care and maintenance of the underground operations was stopped.

Electricity to ERPM is provided to the Cason Dump, SEV and FEV Shafts from the Bremmer substation, located in close

proximity to the mine in Boksburg. Transmission is at the rate of 88,000 volts. The Simmer Pan substation, located approximately
10 miles (16 kilometers) away from the mine site in Germiston, supplies the SWV and Hercules Shafts. Transmission is at the rate
of 44,000 volts. The two substations, located on mine site, transform the power to 6,600 volts for direct supply to the shaft winder
and air compressors. The power supply is further reduced to 525 volts for smaller devices and equipment used on the mine. The
average annual power consumption has reduced to about 105 GWHr and the maximum demand to about 24 MW. The on-mine
substations are older in nature and undergo annual infrared testing to identify hot connections which are potential fire hazards and
are subject to regular maintenance which includes the inspection of the settings, blades and changing the transformer oil in the
circuit breakers.

Exploration and Development

ERPM has a prospecting right covering an area of 1,252ha (3,094 acres) of the adjacent Sallies mine, referred to as ERPM

Extension 1. The regional geology of the area indicates that there will be a strike change due to faulting associated with an East-West
trending sinistral tear fault. In order to confirm the anticipated change in the geological structure and hence payshoot orientation, it is
envisaged that prospecting will take place through development situated 50m in the footwall. Owing to high induced stress
experienced at depth, there will be concurrent over-stoping (that is stoping taking place concurrently with development) on the reef
plane for safety reasons. Prior to this prospecting right in respect of ERPM Ext. 1 lapsing, an application for a mining right in respect
of the same prospecting footprint was made in terms of the provisions of the MPRDA. The said mining right was approved and
granted and the registration thereof took place in March 2012. The mining right expires in January 2042.

An additional application to extend ERPM’s existing prospecting right eastwards into the Rooikraal/Withok area,

incorporating the southern section of the old Van Dyk mining lease area and a small portion of Sallies, was granted by the DMR in
fiscal 2007. Known as ERPM Extension 2, the additional area is 5,500ha (13,590 acres). This prospecting right was initially granted
for a period of 4 years and expired in March 2011. An application for renewal thereof was made in terms of the provisions of the
MPRDA. The renewal in respect thereof was granted for a period of 3 years and as such, the prospecting right will now lapse in
March 2014.

Environmental and Closure Aspects

There is a regular ingress of water into the underground workings of ERPM, which was contained by continuous pumping

from the underground section. Studies on the estimates of the probable rate of rise of water have been inconsistent, with certain
theories suggesting that the underground water might reach a natural subterranean equilibrium, whilst other theories maintain that the
water could decant or surface. A program is in place to routinely monitor the rise in water level in the various underground
compartments and there has been a substantial increase in the subsurface water levels.

ERPM’s SWV Shaft was used until October 6, 2008 to manage the rising water level on the Central Witwatersrand Basin.

Some 60 megalitres of water were pumped daily from a depth of approximately 1,000 meters.

On October 6, 2008, pumping of underground water at the South West Vertical Shaft was stopped for safety reasons

following the death of two employees at the shaft on September 19, 2008. Management concluded that the project to upgrade the total
pumping capacity at South West Vertical Shaft with a more efficient system as part of an Eskom-funded demand-side management
project was not economically viable.

While the ultimate amount of rehabilitation costs to be incurred in the future is uncertain, we have estimated that the total

cost for ERPM, in current monetary terms as at June 30, 2013, is R23.2 million. A total of R7.7 million has been contributed to the
ERPM Rehabilitation Trust Fund and R41.8 million in insurance instruments. This is an irrevocable trust, managed by specific
responsible people who we nominated and who are appointed as trustees by the Master of the High Court of South Africa.

Ore Reserves and Life of Mine

Our 74% share of Proven and Probable Ore Reserves of ERPM are included under Ergo. As at June 30, 2013 the total

surface Ore Reserves comprise 0.07 million ounces from the Cason Dump and 1.2 million ounces from the Elsburg and Benoni
tailings complexes, which will be processed over the next one and nine years, respectively. A Mineral Resource competent person is
appointed at each operation to review our Ore Reserve calculations for accuracy. For ERPM, Mr. Vivian Labuschagne is the
appointed Mineral Resource competent person.

Current Production

Although ERPM is under care and maintenance, 418 ounces of gold was produced from clean-up activities during fiscal

2013.

Blyvoor (Discontinued operation)

Overview

Until June 1, 2012, when we sold our entire interest and claims against Blyvoor to Business Venture Investment No 1557

Proprietary Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Village, we owned 74% of Blyvoor, which in turn owns 100% of the
Doornfontein Gold Mining Company Limited. The consolidated mining operation, referred to as Blyvoor, consists of the adjacent
mines of Blyvooruitzicht and Doornfontein which are located within the Far West Rand Goldfield on the northwestern edge of the
Witwatersrand Basin. Blyvoor was the first mine in the “West Wits” line. Together, these two operations produced over 38 million
ounces of gold since inception in 1937, of which over 2.4 million ounces were produced while Blyvoor was owned by DRDGOLD.

Property

Blyvoor is located on the West Wits line within the Far West Rand Goldfield on the northwestern rim of the Witwatersrand

Basin, near the town of Carletonville, Gauteng Province, about 50.0 miles (80.5 kilometers) south-west of Johannesburg and is
reached via the R528 road to Carletonville on the N12 Johannesburg-Potchefstroom-Kimberly highway.

The climate of the Highveld area (at an elevation of 5,249 feet (1,600 meters) above mean sea level), where the mine is

situated, is humid continental with warm summers and cold winters. Temperatures range from a minimum of 23 degrees
Fahrenheit (-5 degrees Celsius) in June and July, to a maximum of 93 degrees Fahrenheit (34 degrees Celsius) in December and
January.

The operating facilities are all situated on property belonging to Blyvoor, and include the shaft complexes, administrative

offices for the managerial, administrative, financial and technical disciplines, extensive workshops and consumable stores, the
metallurgical plants, tailings dams and waste rock dumps. Blyvoor also houses the majority of its employees in Blyvoor-owned
houses on the property and in the town of Carletonville. The normal support structures, including training, security, sport and
recreational facilities, schools and churches are situated on the property. Blyvoor has mining title to 16,242 acres (6,573 hectares) and
owns 5,138 acres (2,079 hectares) of freehold property.

Blyvoor consists of one mining license, ML46/99, in respect of statutory mining rights and mineral rights held by Blyvoor.

Blyvoor is in the process of converting these old order mining rights to new order rights under the MPRD Act.

History

1937

Blyvooruitzicht Gold Mining Company Limited was incorporated and registered as a public company in South Africa
on June 10, 1937.

1942

Gold production commenced.

1995

Blyvoor acquired the Doornfontein Gold Mining Company Limited in November 1995.

1996

Blyvoor acquired the mineral rights representing the Western Deep Levels tribute area.

1997

We acquired the entire share capital of Blyvoor on September 15, 1997.

2001

Implementation of the Blyvoor expansion project.

2003

Commissioning of No. 4 and 5 Slimes Dam retreatment facility at a cost of R48.0 million.

2004

On June 28, 2004, we entered into a 60-day review period on Blyvoor. The 60-day review was extended to September 13,
2004. By October 5, 2004, 1,619 employees had been retrenched at a cost of approximately R19.0 million.

2005

In August 2005, our Board of Directors approved No. 2 Sub-Shaft Project (now called the WAP Project) and the Slimes
Dam Project to establish mining operations from the No. 2 Shaft and expansion to further improve plant efficiency,
respectively.
On July 6, 2005, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Khumo Bathong Holding Proprietary Limited, or
KBH, regarding the acquisition by Khumo Gold SPV Proprietary Limited, or Khumo Gold, of a 15% stake in our then
South African operations.
On October 27, 2005, our Board of Directors approved the transaction with Khumo Gold. The new structure resulted in
Khumo Gold acquiring a 15% interest in a newly created vehicle, EMO, which owns ERPM, Crown and Blyvoor. We
owned an 85% interest in EMO.

2006

2007

After completion of a drilling program to define the uranium resource in Blyvoor’s slimes dam material, a 17.5 million
pound uranium and 0.8 million ton sulphur resource was declared in November 2007.

2008

In January 2008, electricity supply to the mine was interrupted by the South African electricity company Eskom which is
government owned and production suspended for a week due to safety concerns.

2009

In January 2009, a direct lightning strike to No. 5 shaft Eskom sub-station interrupted production at No. 5 shaft and other
areas drawing power from this supply. Employees underground at the time remained in the underground refuge bays until
hoisted to safety once the shaft feeder power had been restored. No injuries were recorded.
In May and June 2009, three seismic events in excess of 3.5 magnitude took place at No. 5 shaft. As these events affected
the highest grade carbon leader mining area, production from these areas was expected to resume in the third quarter of the
2010 fiscal year and was back in full production since May 2010.
On November 9, 2009, we announced that, in a bid to save our Blyvoor mine from liquidation, we intended applying to the
High Court of South Africa for a provisional judicial management order over the operation. A provisional judicial
management order was granted by the High Court of South Africa on November 10, 2009.
In December 2009, Aurora Empowerment Systems Proprietary Limited proposed a transaction to purchase 60% of
Blyvoor for R295 million.

2010

In April 2010, the High Court of South Africa agreed to lift, with immediate effect, the provisional judicial management
order in place since November 10, 2009. By mutual agreement between DRDGOLD and Aurora, Aurora’s offer to
purchase 60% of Blyvoor was withdrawn.

2011

In June 2011, DRDGOLD's Board of Directors decided to suspend financial assistance to Blyvoor.
The Blyvoor Board of Directors, in response to the DRDGOLD Board’s decision, resolved to begin business rescue
proceedings for Blyvoor in terms of Chapter 6 of the South African Companies Act.

2012

On June 1, 2012, we sold our entire interest and claims against Blyvoor to Business Venture Investment No 1557
Proprietary Limited a wholly owned subsidiary of Village.

Geology and Mineralization

Blyvoor exploits the two gold-bearing pebble horizons in the Central Rand Goldfields, the Carbon Leader, which is one

of the principal ore bodies in the goldfield, and the Middelvlei Reef horizons which occur in discrete channels over parts of the
lease area approximately 246 feet (75 meters) vertically above the Carbon Leader Reef horizon. The Carbon Leader Reef is the
principal economic horizon across the lease area and is a planar single sheet conglomerate. The Carbon Leader Reef typically
comprises basal carbon seam, overlain by a thin, small pebble conglomerate, enriched in carbon in the lower portion. The grade of
the Carbon Leader Reef is higher than the Middelvlei Reef. The Middelvlei Reef consists of a variable number of polymictic
quartz conglomerate bands, inter-bedded with coarse grain quartzite. The grade of the Middelvlei Reef is more erratic, with
distinctive pay shoots forming as southward-orientated linear zones.

Blyvoor was established in 1937 to exploit the rich Carbon Leader Reef but by the late 1980s had reached a position where

continued existence of mining operations was dependent upon the mining of scattered Carbon Leader Reef remnants and limited
sections of the lower grade Middelvlei Reef.

Mining and Processing

Access from the surface to the current underground workings of the mines is through a system of vertical and incline shafts

situated at the Blyvoor and Doornfontein mines. Doornfontein was previously a separate mine adjacent to the Blyvoor mine but has
since been merged to form Blyvoor. The shaft system consists of four vertical shafts from the surface, thirteen sub-incline shafts and
two sub-vertical shafts underground. Of the thirteen sub-incline shafts, only nine are in operation and are used for the conveyance of
personnel, pumping and hoisting of mined ore and waste.

Two levels have been holed between the previous Doornfontein mine and workings within the Blyvoor lease extension

(purchased in 1996 from Western Deep Levels Limited) to allow ore from the bottom of the Blyvoor workings to be trammed across
and hoisted up via the Blyvoor No. 5 Shaft, from where it is trucked to the gold plant. The average mining depth at Blyvoor is 10,541
feet (3,213 meters) and 5,292 feet (1,613 meters) below mean sea level.

Mining of the reef takes place in stope panels. Holes are drilled into the solid rock and are charged with explosives and

blasted. The loosened rock is removed from the stope panels and is conveyed to the shaft, tipped into the ore-pass systems, hoisted to
the surface and transported to the metallurgical plant for gold extraction.

Metallurgical processing facilities at Blyvoor are comprised of a single metallurgical plant. The process route is based on a

conventional flow sheet comprising multi-stage crushing, open circuit primary and closed circuit secondary milling with hydro
cyclones, thickening and cyanide leaching in a Carbon-in-Pulp, or CIP, carousel arrangement. The gold is recovered through electro-
winning followed by smelting to doré. The circuit was recently modified by the closure of the filtration system and the
commissioning of a modern carbon Kemix pumpcell plant. As at June 30, 2011, the overall plant utilization was 90%.

Electricity for South Africa is provided by Eskom, which is government owned. Eskom is the largest producer of electricity

in Africa. In South Africa, Eskom operates a national power supply grid consisting of 24 power stations across the country.
Electricity to Blyvoor is provided from the West Wits substation outside Carletonville at 44,000 volts. Further substations, located on
mine site, transform the power to 6,600 volts or 22,000 volts for direct supply to the shaft winder and air compressors. The power
supply is further reduced to 525 volts for smaller devices and equipment used on the mine. The average annual power consumption is
about 432 GWHr and the maximum demand is about 66 MW.

In fiscal 2008, electricity supply to the mine was interrupted by Eskom, as a result of which production suspended for a

week due to safety concerns. The situation did improve during March 2008, the operation was however at the date of sale still on a
six hour standby notice, in the event that power supply becomes unstable in the area. Eskom has requested all of its “Key Customers”
to reduce power consumption by 10%. Blyvoor managed to adhere to this request and continued during fiscal 2010, 2011 and 2012 to
save the maximum amount of energy possible.

In fiscal 2009, seventeen production days were lost because of Section 54 closures imposed by the Department of

Mineral Resources following fatalities suffered after seismic events occurring and a further six production shifts were lost at No. 5
Shaft following a lightning strike at the shaft’s electrical substation. In May and June 2009, three seismic events in excess of 3.5
magnitude took place at No. 5 shaft. As these events affected the highest grade carbon leader mining area, production from these
areas was expected to resume in the third quarter of the 2010 fiscal year and was back to full production since May 2010.

During fiscal 2010, mining ramp-up continued towards the 2,500m

per month targeted at the WAP Project, and by fiscal

year-end had reached some 1,750 m

per month. On August 26, 2009, DRDGOLD announced that it had advised unions of its

intention to right-size the Blyvoor operation. Blyvoor proceeded with a 60-day facilitated consultation process in terms of Section
189A of the South African Labor Relations Act to determine the future of affected employees. The consultation process was
completed on October 26, 2009 and 330 employees were retrenched. Furthermore, on November 9, 2009, in a bid to save our
Blyvoor mine from liquidation, we applied to the High Court of South Africa for a provisional judicial management order over the
operation. A provisional judicial management order was granted by the High Court of South Africa on November 10, 2009. In April
2010, after Blyvoor had returned to profitability, the High Court of South Africa agreed to lift the provisional judicial
management order in place since November 10, 2009. Refer to Item 4A.: “History and Development of the Company” for a more
detailed discussion.

In fiscal 2011, efforts were directed mainly towards the opening and development of mining areas to ensure more

flexibility. On June 23, 2011, DRDGOLD announced that it had suspended financial assistance to Blyvoor. The decision followed
the promulgation of the new South African Companies Act which requires directors of parent companies to seek the consent of the
parent company’s shareholders and then to consider the effects on the solvency and liquidity of the parent company as conditions
precedent to the provision of financial assistance to subsidiaries. Blyvoor’s production had been trending down in the last quarter
of fiscal 2011 as a result of a drop in grade, attributable to a substitute explosive used for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, due to
major overhaul repairs at our regular explosive supplier’s manufacturing plant, public holiday interruptions and seismicity-related
work stoppages, while costs had increased due mainly to higher electricity charges, and particularly power utility Eskom’s winter
tariff, which added R11 million a month to overhead costs. The Board of Directors of Blyvoor had, in response to DRDGOLD’s
decision, resolved to begin business rescue proceedings for Blyvoor in terms of Chapter 6 of the Companies Act. The business
rescue process provided for in Chapter 6 replaces the judicial management process in the previous Act. Refer to Item 4A.: “History
and Development of the Company” for a more detailed discussion.

In fiscal 2012, the Business Rescue Practitioner terminated the business rescue proceedings with effect from

November 10, 2011, following his conclusion that there were no longer grounds to believe that Blyvoor was financially distressed.
At the beginning of February 2012, Blyvoor suspended mining from its Number 4 and 6 shafts as part of a process to reduce costs.
On June 1, 2012, we sold our entire interest and claims against Blyvoor to a wholly owned subsidiary of Village. Refer to Item 4A.:
“History and Development of the Company” for a more detailed discussion.

Environmental and Closure Aspects

The predominantly dolomitic geology of the area in and around Blyvoor, and the resultant occasional occurrence of

sinkholes and subsidences, exposes Blyvoor to relatively unique environmental risks and costs associated with the remediation and
filling of these sinkholes.

Blyvoor has to maintain a rate of pumping of fissure water sufficient to keep the rate of rise of underground water below the

level of underground workings. The required rate is in the order of 2 million gallons (8 million liters) per day. Water not used in the
operations is discharged into the Wonderfontein Spruit (a stream adjacent to the Blyvoor mine). In order to address the risk of
contamination of ground water, streams and wetlands, water is sampled and the level of contaminants monitored in accordance with
Blyvoor’s water management plan. Fissure water at Blyvoor is generally of a good quality, therefore we believe that the contribution
of this water to pollution of water in the area is minimal.

Blyvoor is a member of the Mining Interest Group consisting of all mines operating in the Wonderfontein Spruit

catchment area. This group was formed to coordinate efforts and studies in the Wonderfontein Spruit and to liaise with
government departments to determine what action if any is required in cleaning the stream. The government has also established a
specialist task team to determine what needs to be done. At this stage there is no clear solution. The Mining Interest Group is also
represented on the various catchment forums where Non-Governmental Organizations, or NGO’s and other interested and affected
parties are present. Blyvoor continues to meet with the Potchefstroom municipality on a monthly basis where the quality of
Blyvoor’s discharge water is assessed. Blyvoor remains in compliance with the Potchefstroom agreement.

Sinkholes are caused by ground water seeping into the underground dolomitic structures, which dissolve and weaken

causing a collapse in the rock structure. Dolomitic rock could be dissolved, resulting in an increased risk of sinkholes and possible
pollution of fresh water resources stored in the dolomitic formations. The occurrence of sinkholes is limited to a particular area of
Blyvoor, which requires an active program in water management and control. Water from leaking pipes is reported to a monitoring
committee and the necessary repairs are undertaken promptly. Ground subsidence surveys are undertaken to timely identify any
possible sinkholes. Sinkholes that do occur are filled to prevent further inflow of surface water and potential enlargement of the hole.
Sinkholes which form outside of our property are repaired by the Far West Rand Dolomitic Water Association.

Pollution from slime dams is controlled by dust suppression and water management programs. Short-term dust control is

accomplished through ridge ploughing the top surface of dormant tailings dams. Environmentally friendly dust suppressants, such as
molasses, are also applied when deemed necessary. In the long-term, dust suppression and water pollution is managed through a
program of progressive vegetation of the tailings complexes followed by the application of lime, to neutralize the natural acidic
conditions, and fertilizer as the organic growth medium.

Blyvoor has updated its EMP to meet the new requirements of the MPRD Act. The EMP was submitted to the DMR for

approval. Blyvoor is currently demolishing and rehabilitating redundant surface infrastructures. Blyvoor completed the demolishing
of its uranium plant in fiscal 2011.

Production in fiscal 2012 and 2011

Blyvoor produced a total of 96,645 ounces of gold for the period July 1, 2011 to May 31, 2012 of fiscal 2012, with

73,048 ounces from underground areas and 23,597 ounces from surface areas. This represented 42% of our total production from
operations for fiscal 2012 of 232,353 ounces.

Cash operating costs of $1,404 per ounce in fiscal 2012 increased from $1,290 per ounce in fiscal 2011.

Durban Deep

Overview

The Durban Deep mine was the original gold mine of the Group. Durban Deep is situated on the northern edge of the

Witwatersrand Basin immediately to the west of Johannesburg. Mining took place within the lease area since the discovery of the
Witwatersrand Goldfield in 1886 at nearby Langlaagte.

As of August 2000, we ceased all underground and open pit mining operations at Durban Deep. Following the withdrawal

of our underground pumping subsidy, the deeper sections of the mine were flooded. On a combined basis, Durban Deep produced
more than 37 million ounces of gold prior to the cessation of operations.

We concluded an agreement with M5 on July 21, 2005, in terms of which M5, against payment of a non-refundable fee of

R1.5 million, was granted an option to acquire Durban Deep’s mine village for R15.0 million. The option lapsed on November 19,
2005. On the exercising of the option the option fee would be deemed part payment of the purchase consideration. If not, the option
fee would be forfeited to us.

On November 18, 2005, M5 exercised the option and provided a guarantee for payment. Prior to the registration of the

transfer occurring, we were notified by Rand Leases Properties Limited (formerly JCI Properties Limited) of an alleged pre-emptive
right in respect of the property in terms of an agreement dated December 1996, pursuant to which the property should be sold to them
on similar terms. We subsequently repudiated our agreement with M5 and notified Rand Leases Properties Limited that we did not
intend offering the property to them. Both parties indicated to us their intentions to institute legal proceedings for the sale and transfer
of the property. On December 12, 2006, Rand Leases Properties Limited issued a summons against us and we filed an Appearance to
Defend. A trial date was allocated by the High Court of South Africa for April 25, 2008, but the case was postponed. Dino Properties
Proprietary Limited (previously called M5) instituted action against the Company seeking to enforce an agreement of sale of the
DRD Village entered into on July 21, 2005, or alternatively payment of R195 million which was alleged to represent the market value
of the property. DRDGOLD entered into an agreement with Rand Leases Properties and purchased the pre-emptive right for an
amount of R21.8 million. The sale agreement with Dino Properties was executed and the transfer of the property into the name of
Dino Properties effected October 18, 2012. Both cases were withdrawn by Dino Properties and Rand Leases Properties. Refer to
“Legal Proceedings- Legal proceedings relating to an agreement to sell Durban Deep’s mine village” below for more details.

Cash operating costs, cash operating cost per ounce, all-in sustaining costs per ounce and all-in cost per ounce of gold are financial measures of

performance that we use to determine cash generating capacities of the mines and to monitor performance of our mining operations.

Property

Durban Deep is located within the Central Witwatersrand Basin which stretches from Durban Deep in the west to ERPM in

the east. Durban Deep is situated 9.3 miles (15 kilometers) west of Johannesburg and contains mining title to 14,262 acres (5,772
hectares) and owns 3,667 acres (1,484 hectares) of freehold property. These include administrative buildings, hospital, recreation
complexes, housing in both hostel and free-standing houses and a security complex. We have title to substantial land tracts on the
outskirts of the City of Roodepoort, which is located in this section. We do not intend to convert our rights under the MPRD Act.

Mining and Processing

Five different ore bodies have been mined at Durban Deep. Ore was mined from outcrops at the surface down to a

maximum depth of 9,200 feet (2,804 meters) and the reefs are known to persist to 13,000 feet (3,962.4 meters) below the surface
within the lease area.

Environmental and Closure Aspects

Rehabilitation and other responsibilities like the National Nuclear Regulator Certificate of Registration requirements

have been taken over by DRD Proprietary Limited, which is owned by Mintails. The official liability transfer in terms of section
58 of the MRPD Act has been granted by the DMR.

In fiscal 2013, the Company transferred the environmental rehabilitation liabilities in respect of mining rights over the

Durban Deep mining license area which was disposed of. A total of R25.6 million previously contributed to the Environmental Trust
Fund has been relinquished to DRD Proprietary Limited as a result of the transfer of the liability.

West Wits

We own 100% of West Witwatersrand Gold Holdings Limited, or WWGH, which holds West Witwatersrand Gold

Mines Limited, or West Wits. We acquired the entire share capital of WWGH, as well as Consolidated Mining Corporation Limited's
loan to WWGH, on April 1, 1996. We also acquired the entire issued share capital and the shareholders' claim and loan account of
East Champ d'Or Gold Mine Limited, a gold mining company with mining title in the West Rand. The mining assets were sold to
Bophelo Trading Proprietary Limited, subsequently renamed, Mogale Gold Proprietary Limited, or Mogale, during fiscal 2004,
effectively leading to the closure of the mining operation.

Environmental and Closure Aspects

Responsibility for the mine, including the environmental rehabilitation liability, has been taken over contractually by

Mintails although the legal transfer thereof would be dependent on the DMR's assessment of Mintails' financial capability.
DRDGOLD therefore still has a contingent liability until such legal transfer is affected. Management of the West Rand Consolidated
Mines' tailings dams have been taken over by Mintails which plans to reprocess them. An EMP for the balance of the area has been
submitted to the DMR as part of the conversion process of ML9/2000. The execution of the conversion is imminent.

The DMR and affected mining companies are involved in the development of a ‘Regional Mine Closure Strategy’ in the

gold fields’ area. The government has appointed Trans-Caledon Tunnel Authority to propose solutions for the various basins. They
have also provided funding for the interim solution in the Western and Central Basins.

In fiscal 2010, the Company transferred the environmental rehabilitation liabilities in respect of mining rights over the West

Wits mining license area which was disposed of. A total of R19.9 million previously contributed to the Environmental Trust Fund has
been relinquished to Mintails as a result of the transfer of the liability.

Legal Proceedings

Litigation regarding environmental issues

On August 2, 2006 and September 4, 2006, two applications were brought against DRDGOLD and its directors for relief

under the MPRD Act by the Legal Resources Centre on behalf of the residents of two communities, Davidsonville and Kagiso, who
reside adjacent to tailings deposition sites of the now dormant Durban Roodepoort Deep mine and the West Witwatersrand mine,
respectively. While no financial compensation is sought, the communities are seeking orders for the revision of the environmental
management programs of both sites, and for the sites to be rehabilitated and closed in accordance with the standards of the MPRD
Act. DRDGOLD has filed its Appearance to Defend and Answering Affidavits in respect of both matters in the High Court of South
Africa. The responsibility rests with the respondent's attorneys to either apply to the High Court for a date of hearing or file replying
affidavits.

Lawsuit by French shareholders

In August 2008, the Company received by post a summons issued in the Tribunal De Grande Instance District Court of Paris

by the Association for the Defense of the Shareholders of East Rand (the association) against EMO.

The claim was based on the following allegations:
· that the members of the association were shareholders of ERPM;
· that the non-audited ERPM results of the six-month period from July to December 1998 were misleading regarding the

'healthiness' of ERPM prior to its winding up in 1999;

· that the 1999 liquidation of ERPM was fraudulently approved by 15% of shareholders who were representatives of the

South African state against the interests of French shareholders; and

· that the subsequent scheme of arrangement to remove ERPM from liquidation in 1999 was approved by 15% of

shareholders without consultation with French shareholders.

On the basis of these allegations, the association was claiming a payment of 5 million euros in damages, 10,000 euros for

costs and costs of suit. EMO raised the point that the French Courts lack jurisdiction to hear the matter and also filed its defenses on
the merits of the case. On May 24, 2011 the Court refused the association’s application for postponement and the case was struck off
the roll. In view of the fact that a period of more than two years has passed since the case was struck off the roll, the proceedings have
lapsed.

Legal proceedings relating to an agreement to sell Durban Deep’s mine village

We concluded an agreement with M5 on July 21, 2005, pursuant to which M5, against payment of a non-refundable fee of

R1.5 million, was granted an option to acquire Durban Deep’s mine village for R15.0 million. On November 18, 2005, M5 exercised
the option and provided a guarantee for payment. Prior to the registration of the transfer occurring, we were notified by Rand Leases
Properties Limited (formerly JCI Properties Limited) of an alleged pre-emptive right in respect of the property in terms of an
agreement dated December 1996, pursuant to which the property should be sold to them on similar terms. We subsequently
repudiated our agreement with M5 and notified Rand Leases Properties Limited that we did not intend offering the property to them.
Both parties indicated to us their intentions to institute legal proceedings for the sale and transfer of the property. On
December 12, 2006, Rand Leases Properties Limited issued a summons against us and we filed an Appearance to Defend and were
issued an interdict by the High Court prohibiting us to sell the property in fiscal 2008. The Company bought back the pre-emptive
right in June 2012 and Rand Leases Properties withdrawn the interdict against us to sell the property.

Dino Properties Proprietary Limited (previously M5) (“Dino Properties”) instituted action against us seeking to enforce an

agreement of sale of Durban Deep’s mine Village entered into on July 21, 2005, or alternatively payment of R195 million which was
alleged to represent the market value of the property. On October 18, 2012 Dino Properties withdrew their action on the basis that
each party pays its own costs.

Claim for alleged damages at Blyvoor

Duffuel Proprietary Limited and Paul Frederick Potgieter are suing DRDGOLD, EMO, Blyvoor and the latter's directors for

alleged pollution of peat reserves which they claim to sell to the mushroom industry. The amounts claimed against DRDGOLD,
EMO, Blyvoor and the latter's directors are as follows:

· R41,051,000 for loss of peat reserves;
· R23,657,910 for removal and transportation of the polluted peat;
· R2,025,000 for required permits and authorizations;
· R1,650,000 for installation of pipelines; and
· R192,000 for importation of clean water for domestic use.

The defendants are defending this action and a plea setting out the basis of our defense has been filed at Court. The trial date

allocated by the Court was October 9, 2013. However, on November 27, 2012, the Parties settled the matter and the Plaintiff
withdrew their claims on the basis that each party bears its own costs on December 10, 2012.

Dispute with the Ekurhuleni Municipality

The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality issued summons in October 2010 against ERPM claiming an amount of R42

million. As at June 30, 2013 the difference between the invoiced amount and ERPM’s calculations amounted to R53 million in
respect of outstanding rates and taxes. The alleged outstanding amount is in respect of the valuation of surface right permits of which
ERPM is the registered holder. ERPM has entered an appearance to defend this action.

Appeal hearing against valuation of properties by the Ekurhuleni Municipality

ERPM is involved in a further dispute with the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality in respect of the valuation of various

freehold properties of which ERPM is the registered owner. The aggregate valuation of these properties is approximately R400
million. ERPM has appealed against these valuations in terms of the provisions of the Local Government: Municipal Property Rates
Act, 6 of 2004 on the basis of inter alia the calculation methodology employed by the Municipal Valuer on behalf of the
Municipality. The hearings in respect of the appeal were heard in June 2013 and ERPM still awaits a final outcome from the
Valuation Appeal Board.

Silicosis Litigation

As a result of the South African Constitutional Court decision permitting individuals employed as miners with occupational

lung diseases to sue their current or former employers for damages outside the statutory compensation scheme, we could be subject to
claims against us from previous or current employees, including a potential class action or similar group claim. In January 2013,
DRDGOLD, ERPM and 23 other mining companies were served with a court application for a class action issued in the South
Gauteng High Court by alleged former mineworkers and dependents of deceased mineworkers. In the pending application, the
applicants allege that DRDGOLD, ERPM and other mining companies conducted underground mining operations in such a negligent
manner that resulted in the former mineworkers contracting silicosis and other related diseases. We will assess all such claims, if and
when filed, on their merits. Liability associated with such claims and expenses of dealing with them could have a material adverse
effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. DRDGOLD and ERPM have instructed Malan Scholes Attorneys to
defend the case.

5A. OPERATING RESULTS

Business overview

We are a South African gold mining company engaged in surface gold tailings retreatment, including exploration,

extraction, processing and smelting. Our surface tailings retreatment operations, including the requisite infrastructure and
metallurgical processing plants, are located in South Africa. On June 1, 2012, we disposed of our last operating underground
operation, Blyvooruitzicht Gold Mining Company Limited, or Blyvoor. Blyvoor has therefore been classified as a discontinued
operation in fiscal 2012 in the comparative periods in this Annual Report. In fiscal 2010, the Group broadened its activities to
include initial exploration activities on a small scale in Zimbabwe through a joint venture in which we currently own 49%. The
initial feasibility studies in Zimbabwe indicate potential underground mining assets, which does not fit with our current strategy of
surface gold mining. We have therefore decided not to continue with our Zimbabwe exploration activities.

Our strategy is to enhance shareholder value in the short and medium term by continuing to produce gold from our

surface resources while simultaneously:

· reducing risk and creating opportunities;
· controlling costs;
· maximizing margins; and
· assuming our social and environmental responsibilities.

This strategy involves using our various capitals – human, financial, intellectual and manufactured – to extract gold from

extensive surface resources in the safest and most efficient manner, thus ensuring the sustainability of our social and
environmental capital.

It also involves realizing the value of the underground gold associated with ERPM Extensions 1 and 2, an asset that no

longer fits our strategy and is for sale.

DRDGOLD’s long-term strategy is to improve gold recovery so that, in future, zero gold is returned to tailings deposition

facilities along with the waste material and to growing our reclamation business by:

· the use of technology and continuing research and development to improve reclamation efficiency and effectiveness;
· acquiring additional surface resources on the Witwatersrand and, possibly, other areas;
· using existing expertise and skills to expand into the reclamation of other minerals from waste material.

During the fiscal years presented in this Annual Report, all of our operations took place in one geographic region, namely

South Africa.

Ergo (Continuing operation):

· Ergo Mining Proprietary Limited (the entity is referred to as Ergo Mining, however the operating segment is called Ergo)
– surface tailings retreatment; and
· East Rand Proprietary Mines Limited (ERPM) – ERPM Extension 1 and 2 exploration tenements. ERPM’s underground
mining operation has been discontinued and is included under ‘Corporate head-office and all other’ in our financial
statements’ operating segments.

Blyvoor (discontinued operation):

· Blyvooruitzicht Gold Mining Company Limited (Blyvoor) – underground mining and surface tailings retreatment
disposed on June 1, 2012.

In fiscal 2013, the profit from continuing operations was R100.1 million (fiscal 2012: R253.0 million and fiscal 2011:

R83.5 million) and profit from discontinued operations was Rnil (fiscal 2012: R124.0 million profit and fiscal 2011: R498.9
million loss).

As at June 30, 2013, we had attributable Ore Reserves of approximately 1.7 million ounces, compared to 1.8 million

ounces as at June 30, 2012 and 6.3 million ounces as at June 30, 2011. The decrease in fiscal 2012 was attributable to the disposal
of Blyvoor which represented 4.3 million ounces of the 6.3 million ounces of our reserves as at June 30, 2011.

Key drivers of our operating results and principal factors affecting our operating results

The principal uncertainties and variables facing our business and, therefore, the key drivers of our operating results are:

· The price of gold, which fluctuates widely both in terms of dollars and rands;
· The production tonnages and gold content thereof, impacting on the amount of gold we produce at our operations;
· The cost of producing gold, including the effects of mining efficiencies; and
· General economic factors, such as exchange rate fluctuations and inflation, and factors affecting mining operations in
South Africa.

Gold price

Our revenues are derived primarily from the sale of gold produced at our surface tailings retreatment operations. As a

result, our operating results are directly related to the price of gold, which can fluctuate widely and is affected by numerous
factors beyond our control, including industrial and jewelry demand, expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, the strength
of the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of gold is generally quoted) and of other currencies, interest rates, actual or
expected gold sales by central banks, forward sales by producers, global or regional political or economic events, and production
and cost levels in major gold-producing regions such as South Africa. In addition, the price of gold is often subject to rapid short-
term changes because of speculative activities. The demand for and supply of gold may affect gold prices, but not necessarily in
the same manner that supply and demand affect the prices of other commodities. The supply of gold consists of a combination of
new production from mining and existing stocks of bullion and fabricated gold held by governments, public and private financial
institutions, industrial organizations and private individuals. As a general rule we sell the gold produced at market prices to obtain
the maximum benefit from prevailing gold prices and we don't hedge against changes in gold prices.

Our production has been sourced from South Africa, and as a result, the impact of movements in relevant exchange rates

is significant to our operating results. The average gold price in rand (based on average spot prices for the year) increased from
R9,565 per ounce in fiscal 2011 (a 15% increase from fiscal 2010), to R12,970 per ounce in 2012 (a 36% increase from fiscal
2011) and R14,185 per ounce in 2013 (a 9% increase from fiscal 2012).

Based on our forecast gold price of R410,473 per kilogram for fiscal 2014, a 10% increase in the rand gold price received

will increase our forecast profit for the year by R177.1 million and a 10% decrease in the rand gold price received will decrease
our profit for the year by R177.6 million.

Gold production and operating costs

Gold production from our continuing and discontinued operations totaled 146,381 ounces during fiscal 2013, compared

to 232,353 ounces during fiscal 2012, and 265,179 ounces in fiscal 2011. Gold production from continuing operations totaled
146,381 ounces during fiscal 2013, compared to 135,708 ounces during fiscal 2012, and 144,065 ounces in fiscal 2011. The 9%
increase (fiscal 2012: 36% increase) in the average rand gold price received in fiscal 2013 was partially offset by an increase in
average cash operating costs per kilogram of 2% for continuing and discontinued operations (fiscal 2012: 21%). Average
operating costs were higher due to high average price increases in operating costs components.

In fiscal 2013, production decreased to 146,381 ounces (produced from 23.3 million tonnes milled at an average yield of

0.20g/t) from 232,353 ounces in fiscal 2012 (produced from 24.9 million tonnes milled at an average yield of 0.29g/t). Production
decreased to 232,353 ounces in fiscal 2012 from 265,179 ounces in fiscal 2011 (produced from 24.2 million tonnes milled at an
average yield of 0.34g/t). The reasons for the movements in production are explained below.

Our continuing operation, Ergo, produced 146,381 ounces (from 23.3 million tonnes milled at an average yield of

0.20g/t) in fiscal 2013, in comparison with 135,708 ounces (from 21.6 million tonnes milled at an average yield of 0.20g/t) in
fiscal 2012 and 144,065 ounces (from 20.3 million tonnes milled at an average yield of 0.22g/t) in fiscal 2011. The increase in
production was due to a rise in throughput, resulting from the Crown/Ergo pipeline being fully operational during fiscal 2013. The
decrease in production in fiscal 2012 was due to a decrease in average grade, resulting from the depletion of previous higher grade
surface material being processed from the Top Star and Mennells dumps.

Our discontinued operation, Blyvoor, produced 96,645 ounces (from 3.3 million tonnes milled at an average yield of

0.91g/t) in fiscal 2012, in comparison with 121,114 ounces (from 3.9 million tonnes milled at an average yield of 0.98g/t) in fiscal
2011. The decrease in production in fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011, was mainly due to the suspension of Blyvoor’s Number
4 and 6 shafts on February 6, 2012 and due to only eleven months of production being included in fiscal 2012 as a result of the
disposal of Blyvoor on June 1, 2012.

Our costs and expenses consist primarily of operating costs and depreciation. Operating costs include labor, specialized

service providers, stores, electricity and other related costs, incurred in the production of gold. ‘Consumables and other’ and
'specialized services' are the largest components of operating costs, constituting respectively, 46% and 19% of operating costs for
fiscal 2013. “Consumables and other’ and 'labor' constituted 48% and 18%, respectively, of our operating costs from continuing
operations for fiscal 2012. For fiscal 2013, none, fiscal 2012, 31% and fiscal 2011 35% of our mining operations, based on
kilograms of gold produced, involved deep level underground mining from our discontinued operation, Blyvoor, which is more
labor intensive.

General economic factors

All our operations are located in South Africa. We are exposed to a number of factors, which could affect our

profitability, such as exchange rate fluctuations, inflation and other risks relating to South Africa. In conducting mining
operations, we recognize the inherent risks and uncertainties of the industry, and the wasting nature of the assets.

Effect of exchange rate fluctuations

For the year ended June 30, 2013, all of our revenues were generated from South Africa, all of our operating costs were

denominated in rand and we derived all of our revenues in dollars. As the price of gold is denominated in dollars and we realize
our revenues in dollars, the appreciation of the dollar against the rand increases our profitability, whereas the depreciation of the
dollar against the rand reduces our profitability. Based upon average exchange rates during the respective years, the rand
weakened by 14% against the dollar in fiscal 2013, compared to a weakening of 11% against the dollar in fiscal 2012 and a
strengthening by 8% against the dollar in fiscal 2011. The weakening of the rand against the dollar in fiscal 2013 and 2012
contributed to the increase in the average rand gold price received of 9% and 36%, respectively. The strengthening of the rand
against the dollar in fiscal 2011 limited the increase in the average rand gold price received to only 17%.

As an unhedged gold producer, we do not enter into forward gold sales contracts to reduce our exposure to market

fluctuations in the dollar gold price or the exchange rate movements. If revenue from gold sales falls for a substantial period
below our cost of production at our operations, we could determine that it is not economically feasible to continue commercial
production at any or all of our plants or to continue the development of some or all of our projects.

Our weighted average cash operating costs per kilogram for our operations was R310,763 per kilogram of gold produced

in fiscal 2013, R304,912 per kilogram of gold produced in fiscal 2012 and R251,296 per kilogram of gold produced in fiscal 2011.
Our weighted average cash operating costs per kilogram for our continuing operation was R310,763 per kilogram of gold
produced in fiscal 2013, R272,778 per kilogram of gold produced in fiscal 2012 and R218,868 per kilogram of gold produced in
fiscal 2011. For fiscal 2012, our weighted average cash operating costs per kilogram for our discontinued operation was R350,032
per kilogram of gold produced and R289,870 per kilogram of gold produced in fiscal 2011. The average gold price received from
operations was R458,084 per kilogram of gold produced in fiscal 2013, R418,538 per kilogram of gold produced in fiscal 2012
and R308,220 per kilogram of gold produced in fiscal 2011.

Effect of inflation

In the past, our operations have been materially adversely affected by inflation. If there is a significant increase in

inflation in South Africa without a concurrent devaluation of the rand or an increase in the price of gold, our costs will increase,
negatively affecting our operating results.

The movements in the rand/dollar exchange rate, based upon average rates during the periods presented, and the local

annual inflation rate for the periods presented, as measured by the South African Consumer Price Index, or CPI, are set out in the
table below:

The South African CPI inflation rate stabilized in fiscal 2013, 2012 and fiscal 2011 after a significant decrease from 6.9%

in fiscal 2009 and as at September 30, 2013, it was at 6.5%.

South African political, economic and other factors

We are a South African company and all our revenue producing operations are based in South Africa. As a result, we are

subject to various economic, fiscal, monetary and political factors that affect South African companies generally, including
exchange control regulations. Governmental officials have from time to time stated their intentions to lift South Africa’s exchange
control regulations when economic conditions permit such action. Over the last few years, certain aspects of exchange controls for
companies and individuals have been incrementally relaxed. It is, however, impossible to predict when, if ever, the South African
Government will remove exchange controls in their entirety. South African companies remain subject to restrictions on their
ability to export and deploy capital outside of the Southern African Common Monetary Area, unless dispensation has been
granted by the South African Reserve Bank. For a detailed discussion of exchange controls, see Item 10D.: “Exchange controls.”

On May 1, 2004, the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRD Act) became effective. Prior to the

introduction of the MPRD Act, private ownership in mineral rights and statutory mining rights in South Africa could be acquired
through the common law or by statute. Now, all mineral rights have been placed under the custodianship of the South African
Government under the provisions of the MPRD Act, and "old order" proprietary rights need to be converted to "new order" rights
of use within certain prescribed periods. We have submitted certain applications in this regard. This process is described in more
detail under Item 4B.: “Business Overview – Governmental regulations and their effects on our business - South Africa - Common
Law Mineral Rights and Statutory Mining Rights.”

Recent developments

Ergo (includes Ergo Mining, ErgoGold, Crown and ERPM’s Cason dump)

On July 1, 2012, DRDGOLD restructured the group’s surface operations into Ergo Mining in order to improve synergies,

affect cost savings and implement a simpler group structure. Ergo Mining is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ergo Mining
Operations Proprietary Limited, or EMO. EMO is 74% held by DRDGOLD, 20% by its black economic empowerment (BEE)
partner, Khumo Gold SPV Proprietary Limited (Khumo Gold) and 6% by the DRDSA Empowerment Trust.

Various transactions to give effect to the restructuring have been entered into, in terms of which:

· DRDGOLD has sold its 35% direct interest in the ErgoGold unincorporated partnership to Ergo Mining for R200
million on loan account;
· Crown Gold Recoveries Proprietary Limited, or Crown has sold its mining assets (excluding its 50% interest in
Ergo Mining), mining and prospecting rights and certain liabilities to Ergo Mining in exchange for shares in Ergo
Mining;
· ERPM sold all of its surface mining assets (excluding its 50% interest in Ergo Mining) and its 65% interest in
ErgoGold to Ergo Mining in exchange for shares in Ergo Mining; and
· Crown and ERPM will distribute their entire holdings in Ergo Mining to sole shareholder EMO.

Consequently, EMO will hold 100% directly of Ergo Mining.

The ERPM and Crown disposals are subject to the consent of the Minister of Mineral Resources in terms of section 11 of

the MPRD Act.

Blyvoor

On September 14, 2010, Blyvoor, then a subsidiary of EMO, was transferred from EMO to DRDGOLD and became a

direct subsidiary of DRDGOLD. This was done in order to separate the Company’s underground and surface operations in two
investment vehicles; the first being Blyvoor, involved in underground operations at a higher risk, marginal gold mine with a high
potential upside if the rand gold price reaches more favorable levels and the second being EMO, involved in surface operations at
a lower risk, higher margin gold mine. Following this restructuring, DRDGOLD’s Board of Directors announced in April, 2011
that Blyvoor no longer fit within the Company’s strategic focus and that the mine would be sold.

On June 23, 2011, DRDGOLD announced that its Board of Directors had decided to suspend financial assistance to

Blyvoor. The decision followed the promulgation of the new Companies Act of South Africa which requires directors of parent
companies to seek the consent of the parent company shareholders and then to consider the effects on the solvency and liquidity of
the parent company as conditions precedent to the provision of financial assistance to subsidiaries. Blyvoor’s production had been
trending down as a result of a drop in grade and seismicity-related work stoppages, while costs had increased due mainly to higher
electricity charges, and particularly power utility Eskom’s winter tariff which added R11 million a month to overhead costs. The
board of directors of Blyvoor had, in response to the DRDGOLD Board’s decision, resolved to begin business rescue proceedings
for Blyvoor in terms of Chapter 6 of the Companies Act. The business rescue process provided for in Chapter 6 replaced the
judicial management process in the previous Companies Act.

On August 17, 2011, DRDGOLD announced that Blyvoor had been granted an extension by the Southern Gauteng High

Court of South Africa (Johannesburg) until November 1, 2011, to publish a business rescue plan.

On November 10, 2011, the Business Rescue Practitioner terminated the business rescue after concluding that there were

no longer grounds to believe that Blyvoor was financially distressed in terms of Chapter 6 of the South African Companies Act,
2008.

On February 11, 2012, DRDGOLD, Village Main Reef Limited (Village), Blyvoor and Business Venture Investments

No 1557 Proprietary Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Village) (Purchaser) entered into a sale of shares and claims
agreement. Pursuant to terms of the Agreement, DRDGOLD agreed to sell its entire shareholding in Blyvoor (which amounts to
74% of the total issued ordinary share capital of Blyvoor) (Sale Shares) and its working capital and shareholder loan claims
against Blyvoor, or the Sale Claims to the Purchaser, the Transaction. The Transaction is divided into the Part A Sale and the Part
B Sale. In terms of the Part A Sale, the Sale Claims are sold to the Purchaser, and in terms of the Part B Sale, the Sale Shares are
sold to the Purchaser. The purchase consideration payable in respect of the Sale Claims and the Sale Shares shall be discharged by
Village through the issue of 85,714,286 new ordinary shares in Village (Village Shares) to DRDGOLD and an amount of R1
payable in cash by Village, respectively.

The Part A Sale was completed on June 1, 2012, at which time 65,714,286 of the Village Shares were issued directly to
DRDGOLD and 20,000,000 are held in escrow (Escrow Shares) pending completion of the Part B Sale.

The Part B Sale is subject to the fulfillment, or waiver (if applicable), of the following conditions precedent:

· by not later than the second anniversary of the signature date of the Agreement, the Department of Mineral Resources
(DMR) has granted the conversion of Blyvoor's old order mining right and the new order mining right has been notarially
executed and registered in the Mining Titles Office or Conversion; and
· by not later than the third anniversary of the signature date of the Agreement, the DMR has unconditionally approved the
transfer of DRDGOLD's interest in Blyvoor to the Purchaser in terms of section 11 of the Mineral & Petroleum
Resources Development Act, No 28 of 2002 or conditionally approved it on terms and conditions which each of
DRDGOLD and the Purchaser confirms to be acceptable (Section 11 Approval).

Upon fulfillment of the Part B Conditions Precedent, the Escrow Shares together with any accrued dividends thereon will

be released to DRDGOLD and the Sale Shares will be transferred to the Purchaser.

If Conversion does not occur in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, or Conversion occurs but Section 11

Approval is not obtained, any one, or more, of the following may occur:

· the sale of the Sale Shares is implemented and the Sale Shares are transferred to the Purchaser;
· a portion of the Sale Claims revert to DRDGOLD;
· the Escrow Shares together with any accrued dividends thereon are released to DRDGOLD or to the Purchaser;
· the appointment of the Purchaser as DRDGOLD’s agent to render corporate services on behalf of DRDGOLD to Blyvoor
continues or is terminated; and/or
· the DRDGOLD’s right to receive dividends in respect of the Sale Shares is reinstated.

Cash operating costs, all-in sustaining costs and all-in costs are non-IFRS financial measures of performance that we use to determine cash

generating capacities of the mines and to monitor performance of our mining operations. For a reconciliation of those measures to operating
costs, see Item 5A.: “Operating Results” - “Reconciliation of cash cost per kilogram, all-in sustaining costs per kilogram, all-in costs per
kilogram and capital expenditure (cash).”

Total .................................................................................................................................. 2,076,496 3,004,264 2,565,319

Revenue decreased from R3,004.3 million in fiscal 2012 to R2,076.5 million in fiscal 2013 mainly as a result of the

disposal of Blyvoor on June 1, 2012. The increase in revenue from continuing operations was due to an 8% increase in throughput
from the Crown/Ergo pipeline which was operational for the whole of fiscal 2013 and a 9% increase in the rand dollar price.

Revenue increased from R2,565.3 million in fiscal 2011 to R3,004.3 million in fiscal 2012 mainly as a result of the 36%

higher rand gold price received. The increase in revenue was partially offset by a decrease in production at Ergo of 6% due to a
decrease in grade resulting from the depletion of Top Star and Mennells higher grade dumps. The increase in revenue was also
offset by the suspension of Blyvoor's Number 4 and 6 shafts at the start of February 2012 and because only eleven months of
Blyvoor's revenue was included in fiscal 2012 following the disposal of Blyvoor on June 1, 2012.

Our total gold production in fiscal 2013 decreased by 85,972 ounces, or 37%, to 146,381 ounces from 232,353 ounces

produced in fiscal 2012. At Ergo, total gold production was 8% higher at 146,381 ounces (fiscal 2012: 135,708 ounces). This
reflected an 8% rise in throughput to 23,254,000 tonnes (fiscal 2012: 21,603,000 tonnes) and a constant average grade of 0.20g/t
(fiscal 2012: 0.20g/t).

For fiscal 2012, our total gold production decreased by 32,826 ounces, or 12%, to 232,353 ounces from 265,179 ounces

produced in fiscal 2011. At Ergo, total gold production was 6% lower at 135,708 ounces (fiscal 2011: 144,065 ounces). This
reflected a 6% rise in throughput to 21,603,000 tonnes (fiscal 2011: 20,326,000 tonnes) and a 9% reduction in average grade to
0.20g/t (fiscal 2011: 0.22g/t), resulting from the depletion of the Top Star and Mennells higher grade dumps. At Blyvoor, total
gold production for the year was 96,645 ounces, down by 20% from 121,114 ounces in fiscal 2011, primarily due to the
suspension of Blyvoor’s Number 4 and 6 shafts at the start of February 2012 and the inclusion of eleven months of Blyvoor
production for fiscal 2012.

Cash operating costs

, all-in sustaining costs and all-in costs per kilogram¹

For fiscal 2013, cash operating costs from continuing and discontinued operations increased to R310,763 per kilogram of

gold from R304,912 per kilogram of gold in fiscal 2012. All-in sustaining costs per kilogram increased to R365,569 per kilogram
of gold in fiscal 2013 from R353,863 per kilogram of gold in fiscal 2012. All-in costs per kilogram increased to R436,638 per
kilogram of gold in fiscal 2013 from R390,094 per kilogram of gold in fiscal 2012. The increase in cash operating costs and all-in
sustaining costs per kilogram of gold produced in fiscal 2013 was due to above inflation increases in prices of key consumables,
labor and electricity. The increase in all-in costs per kilogram was primarily due to the foregoing and the non-recurring increase in
non-sustaining capital relating to the flotation and fine-grind project. For fiscal 2012, cash operating costs from total operations
increased to R304,912 per kilogram of gold from R251,296 per kilogram of gold in fiscal 2011. All-in sustaining costs per
kilogram increased to R353,863 per kilogram of gold in fiscal 2012 from R291,066 per kilogram of gold in fiscal 2011. All-in
costs per kilogram increased to R390,064 per kilogram of gold in fiscal 2012 from R318,743 per kilogram of gold in fiscal 2011.
The increase in cash operating costs and all-in sustaining costs per kilogram of gold produced in fiscal 2012 was due to above
inflation increases in prices of key consumables, labor and electricity as well as the 12% decrease in production. The increase in
all-in costs per kilogram was primarily due the foregoing and to the non-recurring R43.7 million retrenchment costs relating to
Blyvoor recorded in fiscal 2012.

Ergo's cash operating costs for fiscal 2013 increased to R310,763 per kilogram of gold from R272,779 per kilogram of gold

in fiscal 2012. All-in sustaining costs per kilogram increased to R365,569 per kilogram of gold in fiscal 2013 from R331,978 per
kilogram of gold in fiscal 2012. All-in costs per kilogram increased to R436,638 per kilogram of gold in fiscal 2013 from R390,064
per kilogram of gold in fiscal 2012. The increase in cash operating costs and all-in sustaining costs per kilogram were due to above
inflation increases in prices of key consumables, labor and electricity and, for all-in sustaining costs, the increase in corporate
costs relating to a new business unit aimed specifically at researching new business opportunities. The increase in all-in costs per
kilogram was primarily due to the foregoing and to the non-recurring increase in non-sustaining capital relating to the flotation
and fine-grind project. Ergo's cash operating costs per kilogram for fiscal 2012 increased to R272,779 per kilogram of gold from
R218,868 per kilogram of gold in fiscal 2011. All-in sustaining costs per kilogram increased to R331,978 per kilogram of gold in
fiscal 2013 from R258,247 per kilogram of gold in fiscal 2011. All-in costs per kilogram increased to R383,294 per kilogram of gold
in fiscal 2012 from R308,868 per kilogram of gold in fiscal 2011. The increases were due to above inflation increases in prices of
key consumables, labor and electricity as well as the decrease in production.

Blyvoor's cash operating costs for fiscal 2012 increased to R350,032 per kilogram of gold from R289,870 per kilogram of

gold in fiscal 2011. All-in sustaining costs per kilogram increased to R384,689 per kilogram of gold in fiscal 2012 from R330,105 per
kilogram of gold in fiscal 2011. All-in sustaining costs per kilogram increased to R399,572 per kilogram of gold in fiscal 2012 from
R330,491 per kilogram of gold in fiscal 2011. The increase in all-in sustaining costs and all-in costs per kilogram were due to R43.7
million retrenchment costs.

Reconciliation of cash operating costs per kilogram, all-in sustaining costs per kilogram, all-in costs per kilogram and capital
expenditure (cash)

Cash operating costs of production include costs for all mining, processing, administration, royalties and production

taxes, but exclude depreciation, depletion and amortization, rehabilitation, retrenchment costs and corporate administration costs.
Cash operating costs per kilogram are calculated by dividing cash operating costs by kilograms of gold produced. Cash operating
costs per kilogram have been calculated on a consistent basis for all periods presented.

All-in sustaining costs per kilogram is a measure on which guidance were provided by the World Gold Council and

include cash operating costs of production plus, on-site general and administrative costs, royalties and production taxes, sustaining
capital, sustaining exploration, the accretion of rehabilitation costs, but excludes depreciation, retrenchment costs, finance costs,
depletion and amortization, reclamation and closure costs. All-in sustaining costs per kilogram are calculated by dividing all-in
sustaining costs by kilograms of gold produced. All-in sustaining costs per kilogram have been calculated on a consistent basis for
all periods presented.

All-in costs per kilogram is a measure on which guidance were provided by the World Gold Council and include total

operating costs, plus all-in sustaining costs, non-sustaining capital costs relating to projects, retrenchment costs, capital
recoupment relating to non-sustaining capital, ongoing rehabilitation expenditure, and non-operating costs, but exclude taxation,
minority interest, finance costs, profit or loss from associates and the cumulative effect of accounting adjustments. All-in costs per
kilogram are calculated by dividing all-in costs by kilograms of gold produced. All-in costs per kilogram have been calculated on
a consistent basis for all periods presented.

Cash operating costs, all-in sustaining costs and all-in costs per kilogram are non-IFRS financial measures of performance that we use to

determine cash generating capacities of the mines and to monitor performance of our mining operations.

Cash operating costs per kilogram, all-in sustaining costs per kilogram and all-in costs per kilogram are non-IFRS

financial measures that should not be considered by investors in isolation or as alternatives to operating costs, net profit/(loss)
attributable to equity owners of the parent, profit/(loss) before tax and other items or any other measure of financial performance
presented in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of our performance. While the World Gold Council provided guidance for
the calculation of cash operating costs, the calculation of cash operating costs per kilogram, all-in sustaining costs and all-in costs
per kilogram may vary significantly among gold mining companies, and these definitions by themselves do not necessarily
provide a basis for comparison with other gold mining companies. However, we believe that cash operating costs per kilogram,
all-in sustaining costs per kilogram and all-in costs per kilogram are useful indicators to investors and our management of an
individual mine's performance and of the performance of our operations as a whole as they provide:

· an indication of a mine’s profitability and efficiency;
· the trend in costs;
· a measure of a mine's margin per kilogram, by comparison of the cash operating costs per kilogram by mine to the price
of gold; and
· a benchmark of performance to allow for comparison against other mines and mining companies.

Capital expenditure (cash) is the actual cash flow for the particular fiscal period as taken from the statement of cash flows

for additions to property, plant and equipment under investing activities.

A reconciliation of cash operating costs to operating costs as per our operating segment, all-in sustaining costs and all-in

costs for each of the three years ended June 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011 is presented below. In addition, we have also provided below
details of the amount of gold produced by each mine for each of those periods.

Capital expenditure (cash)

During fiscal 2013, total capital expenditure (cash) was R382.4 million, compared to R333.2 million in fiscal 2012, an

increase of 15%. Capital expenditure increased primarily as a result of the new flotation and fine-grind project. In fiscal 2013,
Ergo spent R261.5 million on the flotation and fine-grind project, R11.7 million on the Brakpan tailings facility, R20.5 million on
the Cason high grade plant, R30.4 million on the Angelo Pan reclamation and pipeline, R26.3 million on infrastructure upgrades
and R5.5 million on other equipment. The corporate head office had capital expenditure amounting to R13.5 million relating to the
exploration in Zimbabwe. For a detailed summary of capital expenditure, see Item 4D.: “ Property, Plant and Equipment”.

During fiscal 2012, total capital expenditure (cash) was R333.2 million, compared to R317.3 million in fiscal 2011, an

increase of 5%. Capital expenditure increased primarily as a result of the new flotation and fine-grind project and the completion
of the Crown/Ergo pipeline project. In fiscal 2012, Ergo spent R33.9 million on the Crown/Ergo pipeline project, R50.7 million on
the extension of the Brakpan tailings facility, R15.5 million on the refurbishment of the Ergo plant, R38.5 million on the new
flotation and fine-grind project, R49.0 million on infrastructure upgrades equipment, R14.2 million on the tailings facilities and
R16.1 million to replace old equipment and acquire new equipment. Blyvoor spent R50.3 million on opening up and development,
R23.3 million on equipment and R9.3 million on other equipment and the tailings facilities. The corporate head office had capital
expenditure amounting to R21.7 million relating to property, R7.8 million relating to the exploration in Zimbabwe and R2.9 million
on other equipment. For a detailed summary of capital expenditure, see Item 4D.: “ Property, Plant and Equipment”.

Subsequent to June 30, 2013 and up to September 30, 2013 we spent R52.4 million on capital expenditure relating mainly

to:

· Ergo's construction of the flotation plant amounting to R43.8 million, the Benoni slurry line amounting to R3.1 million, the
Brakpan tailings facility amounting to R2.7 million, the Daggafontein rehabilitation expenditure amounted to R1.5 million
and security fencing upgrading amounted to R1.3 million.

Ore Reserves

As at June 30, 2013, our Ore Reserves were estimated at 1.7 million ounces, as compared to 1.8 million ounces at

June 30, 2012, representing an 8% decrease. The decrease was mainly due to depletion. As at June 30, 2012, our Ore Reserves were
estimated at 1.8 million ounces, as compared to approximately 6.3 million ounces at June 30, 2011, representing a 71% decrease. The
decrease was due to the disposal of Blyvoor which comprised 68% of the 6.3 million reserves at the end of fiscal 2011.

We seek to increase our attributable Ore Reserves through exploration and to acquire additional new Ore Reserves.

Our Ore Reserves presented in Item 4B.: “Business Overview” and above are prepared using three year average gold prices

at the time of reserve determination for each year presented. For purposes of our financial statements, depreciation and impairment of
property, plant and equipment is determined based upon our "recoverable minerals", which means Proven and Probable Ore
Reserves, which are calculated using our life of mine business plans and the gold price at the end of each financial year.

¹ After the restructuring, Ergo’s Ore Reserves include the Elsburg and Benoni tailings complexes which are being processed by Ergo,
however the mining rights for these tailings are owned by ERPM. Crown's Ore Reserves have also been included under Ergo.

Application of critical accounting policies

Some of our significant accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the

appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of
uncertainty and are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, management's view on trends in the gold mining
industry and information from outside sources.

Management believes the following critical accounting policies involve the more significant judgments and estimates used

in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and could potentially impact our financial results and future financial
performance:

· Property, plant and equipment
· Impairment of property, plant and equipment
· Deferred income and mining taxes
· Reclamation and environmental costs
· Financial instruments

Management has discussed the development and selection of each of these critical accounting policies with the Board of

Directors and the Audit Committee, both of which have approved and reviewed the disclosure of these policies. Our significant
accounting policies relating to our accounting estimates and judgments are described in more detail in note 1 to the consolidated
financial statements. Refer to Item 18.: “Financial statements’’. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 18.: “Financial statements’’.

Property, plant and equipment

Actual expenditures incurred for mineral property interests, mine development costs, mine plant facilities and equipment are

capitalized to the specific mine to which the cost relates. Depreciation is calculated on a mine-by-mine basis using the units of
production method. Other assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the expected life of these assets. Under the units
of production method, we estimate the depreciation rate based on actual production over total Proven and Probable Ore Reserves of
the particular mine, which are calculated using our life of mine business plans and a gold price at the end of each financial year.
This rate is then applied to actual costs capitalized to date to arrive at the depreciation expense for the period. Proven and Probable
Ore Reserves of the particular mine reflect estimated quantities of economically and legally recoverable reserves. Changes in
management’s estimates of the quantities of economically recoverable reserves impact depreciation on a prospective basis. The
estimate of the total reserves of our mines could be materially different from the actual gold mined due to changes in the factors used
in determining our Ore Reserves, such as the gold price, foreign currency exchange rates, labor costs, engineering evaluations of
assay values derived from sampling of drill holes and other openings. Any change in management’s estimate of the total Proven and
Probable Ore Reserves would impact the depreciation charges recorded in our consolidated financial statements. The prevailing
market price of gold at the end of the financial year was R328,155, R408,381 and R378,158 per kilogram for the fiscal years
ended June 30, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

The carrying amounts of assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to

determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Future cash flows are estimated based on
quantities of recoverable minerals, expected gold prices, production levels and cash operating costs of production, all based on life
of mine business plans. The term “recoverable minerals” means Proved and Probable Ore Reserves, which are calculated using
our life of mine business plans and a gold price at the end of each financial year. The prevailing market price of gold at the end of
the financial year was R328,155, R408,381 and R378,158 per kilogram for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2012 and 2013,
respectively. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets which generates
cash inflows from continuing use that is largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets, or the cash-
generating unit. An impairment loss is recognized directly against the carrying amount of the asset whenever the carrying amount of
an asset, or its cash generating unit, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.

The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment is generally determined utilizing discounted future cash flows. We

also consider such factors as our market capitalization, the quality of the individual ore body and country risk in determining the
recoverable amount. During fiscal 2013, R110.2 million (fiscal 2012: Rnil, and fiscal 2011: R546.6 million) was recorded as an
impairment at a specific asset level.

In fiscal 2013, we calculated the recoverable amount based on updated life-of-mine business plans, a gold price of R410,473

per kilogram in year one escalating at 6.7% per annum, and a discount rate of 14.9%. With a 10% reduction in the gold price to
R369,425 per kilogram, an impairment of R1,097.4 million would be raised, or at an increase in the discount rate of 1.9 percentage
points (13%) to 16.8%, the group would begin impairment of the mining assets. The increase in discount rate from 14.4% in fiscal
2012 to 14.9% in fiscal 2013, was mainly as a result of the increase in the group’s risk premium from 9.6% in fiscal 2012 to 10.1% in
fiscal 2013. The increase in the escalation rate from 5.3% in fiscal 2012 to 6.7% in fiscal 2013 was a result of a 22% weaker
exchange rate forecast of the rand against the dollar from R9.1150 in fiscal 2012 to R11.0952 in fiscal 2013 .

In fiscal 2012, we calculated the recoverable amount based on updated life-of-mine business plans, a gold price of R441,936

per kilogram in year one escalating at 5.3% per annum, and a discount rate of 14.4%. With a 10% reduction in the gold price to
R397,742 per kilogram, an impairment of R914.8 million would be raised, or at an increase in the discount rate of 8.5 percentage
points (59%) to 22.9%, the group would begin impairment of the mining assets. The increase in discount rate from 13.9% in fiscal
2011 to 14.4% in fiscal 2012, was mainly as a result of the increase in the group’s risk premium from 8.1% in fiscal 2011 to 9.6% in
fiscal 2012.

The R110.2 million impairment in fiscal 2013, consisted of R52.4 million against Ergo's property, plant and equipment

(R40.0 million for surface dumps and R12.4 million for plant equipment), R8.6 million against ERPM’s plant equipment and
R49.2 million to Chizim Gold's exploration assets.

The R546.6 million impairment in fiscal 2011, related to Blyvoor which represented one cash generating unit. A discount

rate of 14.4%, together with further risk adjustments to future cash flows were used in determining the impairment. Management also
took into consideration as part of their reasonableness assessment, a sensitivity analysis and the fact that Blyvoor was under business
rescue proceedings, with the business rescue plan not being approved as at the end of fiscal 2011. Further considerations included the
group's market capitalization, which were lower than the group's net asset value before the impairment had been raised.

Deferred income and mining taxes

Deferred taxation is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for

financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary
differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither
accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it
is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary
differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to
the temporary differences, based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities,
and based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

The amount recognized as a deferred tax asset is generally determined utilizing discounted future cash flows. We consider

all factors that could possibly affect the probability that future taxable profit will be available against which unused tax credits can be
utilized. These factors included profitability of the operations and an estimate of the gold price. The amount recognized as a deferred
tax asset is sensitive to the current gold spot price. As at June 30, 2013 we recognized a deferred tax asset of R2.9 million (June 30,
2012: R38.3 million and June 30, 2011: R69.2 million). The amount recognized at June 30, 2013 was based on a future gold price
receivable of R410,473 per kilogram in year one, escalating at an average of 6.7% per annum.

Reclamation and environmental costs

The decommissioning provision for environmental rehabilitation represents the cost that will arise from rectifying damage

caused before production commenced. Accordingly an asset is recognized and included within mining properties. Provisions for
environmental rehabilitation are provided at the present value of the expenditures expected to settle the obligation, using estimated
cash flows based on current prices. The unwinding of the obligation is included in profit or loss. Estimated future costs of
environmental rehabilitation are reviewed regularly and adjusted as appropriate for new circumstances or changes in law or
technology. Changes in estimates are capitalized or reversed against the related asset but taken to profit or loss if there is no related
asset left. Gains or losses from the expected disposal of assets are not taken into account when determining the provision.

Estimated provisions for environmental rehabilitation, comprising pollution control rehabilitation and mine closure, are

based on our environmental management plans in compliance with current technological, environmental and regulatory requirements.
An average discount rate of 7.6%, average inflation rate of 5.4% and expected life of mines according to the life-of-mine plans were
utilized in the calculation of the estimated net present value of the rehabilitation liability (fiscal 2012: average discount rate of 7.3%,
average inflation rate of 5.4% and fiscal 2011: average discount rate of 8.5% and inflation rate of 6.0%). During fiscal 2013 there was
a net decrease in the provision of R6.4 million which was credited to property, plant and equipment for Ergo, and a reduction
amounting to R22.5 million for rehabilitation costs incurred (during fiscal 2012 there was a net increase in the provision of R13.4
million which was capitalized to property, plant and equipment for Ergo, representing an increase in its respective footprints and a
reduction amounting to R19.8 million for rehabilitation costs incurred). As a result of the disposal of Blyvoor the provision for
environmental rehabilitation decreased by R46.0 million in fiscal 2012.

The restoration provision for environmental rehabilitation represents the costs of restoring site damage after the start of

production. Increases in the provision are recognized in profit or loss as a cost of production. Gross restoration liabilities are
estimated at the present value of the expenditures expected to settle the obligation.

Charges to profit or loss for the environmental rehabilitation of R15.3 million, R59.2 million and R52.6 million were raised

in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Unwinding of the provisions amounting to R33.5 million, R7.3 million and R9.4 million
were recorded in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

In South Africa, annual contributions are made to dedicated Rehabilitation Trust Funds and investments in funds held in

insurance instruments, which are to be used to fund the estimated cost of rehabilitation during and at the end of the life of the relevant
mine.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments recognized on the statement of financial position include investments, trade and other receivables,

cash and cash equivalents, long- and short-term interest-bearing borrowings, trade and other payables, and bank overdrafts.
Financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value and include any directly attributable transaction costs, except those
financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss.

If the value of the financial instrument cannot be obtained from an active market, we have established fair value by using

valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are
substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models, refined to reflect the issuer’s specific
circumstances. Listed shares are measured at fair value based on the market close price at the reporting date and applying a
discount factor for liquidity constraints pertaining to the relevant listed shares.

Revenue for fiscal 2013 decreased by R927.8 million, or 31%, to R2,076.5 million, mainly due to the disposal of Blyvoor

on June 1, 2012. The increase in revenue for Ergo was largely due to a 9% increase in the average rand gold price received
amounting to R458,084 per kilogram and an 8% increase in gold produced from continuing operations.

Due to the restructuring on July 1, 2012 ErgoGold, Ergo Mining, Crown and the surface retreatment operation of ERPM have all been

transferred into Ergo Mining. However, this did not result in a change in the Ergo operating segment.

Blyvoor was sold on June 1, 2012.

Operating costs are linked directly to the level of production of a specific fiscal year. Operating costs in fiscal 2013

decreased by 36% to R1,397.2 million compared to operating costs of R2,188.9 million in fiscal 2012. This decrease was mainly
as a result of the disposal of Blyvoor on June 1, 2012.

Rehabilitation provision and amounts contributed to environmental trust funds

As of June 30, 2013, we estimate our total rehabilitation provision, being the discounted estimate of future costs, to be

R524.3 million as compared to R504.3 million at June 30, 2012. The increase in the provision for environmental rehabilitation in
fiscal 2013 was due to changes in discount and inflation rate assumptions, changes in estimates resulting from changes to the life-of-
mines and additional environmental damage incurred which was off-set by a R22.5 million reduction in the provision resulting from
rehabilitation work conducted during fiscal 2013. In fiscal 2013, an expense of R15.3 million (fiscal 2012: R59.2 million) and the
unwinding of the provision of R33.5 million (fiscal 2012: R7.3 million) was recorded in profit or loss.

A total of R86.4 million was invested in our various environmental trust funds as at the end of fiscal 2013, as compared

to R106.3 million for fiscal 2012. The decrease is attributable to the derecognition of the DRDGOLD rehabilitation trust fund,
amounting to R25.6 million, due to the relinquishment of the fund to the buyer of the relating mining rights over the Durban
Roodepoort Deep mine area. The decrease was partially offset by a R5.6 million increase for interest received on these funds
during fiscal 2013. A total of R90.7 million was invested in funds held in insurance instruments to provide financial guarantees to
the DMR through an insurance cell captive company, the Guardrisk Cell Captive. The shortfall between the invested funds and the
estimated provisions is expected to be financed by ongoing contributions to the Guardrisk Cell Captive, over the remaining
production life of the respective mining operations, the proceeds on the disposal of remaining assets and gold from plant clean-up.

Depreciation

Depreciation charges were R143.8 million for fiscal 2013 compared to R120.9 million for fiscal 2012. The increase was

mainly attributable to the completion of the Crown/Ergo pipeline project during May 2012, which was depreciated for a full year
in fiscal 2013.

Retrenchment costs

Retrenchment costs decreased to R0.6 million in fiscal 2013 from R43.7 million in fiscal 2012. In fiscal 2012, these costs

related to the closure of the Number 4 and 6 shafts at Blyvoor, resulting in the retrenchment of 1,542 employees.

Impairments

In fiscal 2013, an impairment amounting to R238.0 million was recognized. The impairment consisted of R110.2 million

against property, plant and equipment at a specific asset level, R101.3 million against our investment in Village and R25.6 million
for the derecognition of the DRDGOLD rehabilitation trust fund.

Administration expenses and general costs

The administration expenses and general costs decreased in fiscal 2013 to R78.1 million from R121.5 million in fiscal

2012, a decrease of R43.4 million. In fiscal 2013, administration expenses and general costs included a non-recurring gain on
disposal of property amounting to R19.3. In fiscal 2012, administration expenses and general costs included a non-recurring loss
of approximately R9.6 million relating to the loss on the sale of property, plant and equipment.

Finance income

Finance income increased from R33.4 million in fiscal 2012 to R66.0 million in fiscal 2013. The increase was mainly due

to dividends received from available-for-sale financial assets in fiscal 2013, amounting to R32.5 million.

Finance expenses

Finance expenses increased from R17.7 million in fiscal 2012 to R42.0 million in fiscal 2013. The increase was mainly

attributable to the unwinding of the rehabilitation provision amounting to R33.5 million in fiscal 2013 compared to R7.3 million
in fiscal 2012. In addition, the interest paid on the Domestic Medium Term Note Program (see Item 5B. “Liquidity and Capital
Resources – Borrowings and Funding”) increased with the increase in borrowings from R30.7 million in fiscal 2012 to R167.6
million in fiscal 2013.

Income tax

The net tax charge of R44.9 million for fiscal 2013 consisted of a current taxation credit of R8.7 million which includes a

R12.8 million prior year over provision and a deferred tax charge of R53.6 million. This compares to a net tax charge of
R8.0 million for fiscal 2012 consisting of a current taxation charge of R12.5 million, a deferred tax credit of R9.0 million and
secondary tax on companies amounting to R4.5 million. The year-on-year increase in the net tax charge was mainly due to the
increased profitability of Ergo.

Revenue for fiscal 2012 increased by R438.9 million, or 17%, to R3,004.3 million, mainly due to the 36% higher average

gold price received. The average gold price increased from R311,023 per kilogram in fiscal 2011 to R415,700 per kilogram in
fiscal 2012. The increase in revenue was partially offset by a decrease in production at Ergo of 6% due to a decrease in grade
resulting from the completion of Top Star and Mennells higher grade dumps. The increase in revenue was also offset by the
suspension of Blyvoor's Number 4 and 6 shafts at the start of February 2012 and because only eleven months of Blyvoor's revenue
was included following the disposal of Blyvoor on June 1, 2012.

Ergo includes ErgoGold , Ergo Mining, Crown and the surface retreatment operation of ERPM.

Blyvoor was sold on June 1, 2012.

As gold mining in South Africa is very labor intensive, labor costs and specialized service providers are one of the largest

components of operating costs. Operating costs are linked directly to the level of production of a specific fiscal year. Operating
costs in fiscal 2012 increased by 5% to R2,188.9 million compared to operating costs of R2,088.3 million in fiscal 2011. This
increase was mainly as a result of above inflation increases in labor, electricity and consumable costs at both Ergo and Blyvoor.
The increase in operating costs was partially offset by the closure of Number 4 and 6 shafts at Blyvoor and the fact that only
eleven months of Blyvoor's operating costs are included due to the disposal of Blyvoor on June 1, 2012.

Rehabilitation provision and amounts contributed to environmental trust funds

As of June 30, 2012, we estimate our total rehabilitation provision, being the discounted estimate of future costs, to be

R504.3 million as compared to R490.2 million at June 30, 2011. The increase in the provision for environmental rehabilitation in
fiscal 2012 was due to changes in discount and inflation rate assumptions, changes in estimates resulting from changes to the life-of-
mines and additional environmental damage incurred which had been off-set by a R46.0 million reduction in the provision resulting
from the disposal of Blyvoor on June 1, 2012. In fiscal 2012, an expense of R59.2 million (fiscal 2011: R52.6 million) including
the unwinding of the provision of R7.3 million (fiscal 2011: R9.4 million) was recorded in profit or loss.

A total of R106.3 million was invested in our various environmental trust funds as at the end of fiscal 2012, as compared

to R134.2 million for fiscal 2011. The decrease is attributable to the disposal of Blyvoor on June 1, 2012, which reduced the trust
funds by R35.1 million. The decrease was partially offset by an R8.3 million increase for interest received on the investment of
these funds during fiscal 2012. A total of R59.3 million was invested in funds held in insurance instruments to provide financial
guarantees to the DMR through an insurance cell captive company called, Guardrisk Cell Captive. The shortfall between the
invested funds and the estimated provisions is expected to be financed by ongoing contributions to the Guardrisk Cell Captive,
over the remaining production life of the respective mining operations, the proceeds on the disposal of remaining assets and gold
from plant clean-up.

Depreciation

Depreciation charges were R120.9 million for fiscal 2012 compared to R130.9 million for fiscal 2011. The decrease is

mainly attributable to the classification of Blyvoor as held-for-sale in accordance with IFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held of Sale
and Discontinued Operations, on December 31, 2011, at which date depreciation ceased. This was followed by the disposal of
Blyvoor on June 1, 2012.

Retrenchment costs increased to R43.7 million in fiscal 2012 from R0.8 million in fiscal 2011. In fiscal 2012, these costs

related to the closure of the Number 4 and 6 shafts at Blyvoor, resulting in the retrenchment of 1,542 employees.

Impairments

In fiscal 2012, an impairment amounting to R1.1 million was taken against the West Witwatersrand Gold Mines

Proprietary Limited rehabilitation trust fund, due to the disposal of the relating mining rights over the West Wits mining lease
area.

Administration expenses and general costs

The administration expenses and general costs increased in fiscal 2012 to R121.5 million from R88.1 million in fiscal

2011, an increase of R33.4 million. In fiscal 2012, administration expenses and general costs included a non-recurring cost of
approximately R9.6 million relating to the loss on the sale of property, plant and equipment. In fiscal 2011, administration
expenses and general costs included a non-recurring credit of approximately R5.7 million as a result of a decrease in the provision
for post-retirement medical benefits. Other than inflation-related increases, these were the main reasons for the year-on-year
increase.

Finance income

Finance income decreased from R52.8 million in fiscal 2011 to R33.4 million in fiscal 2012. The decrease was mainly

due to a non-recurring net gain on financial liabilities measured at amortized cost in fiscal 2011, amounting to R24.8 million.

Finance expenses

Finance expenses decreased from R22.0 million in fiscal 2011 to R17.7 million in fiscal 2012. The decrease was mainly

attributable to the unwinding of discount on financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, which decreased from R7.7 million in
fiscal 2011 to R0.7 million in fiscal 2012.

Income tax

The net tax charge of R8.0 million for fiscal 2012 comprises a current taxation charge of R12.5 million, a deferred tax

credit of R9.0 million and secondary tax on companies amounting to R4.5 million. This compares to a net tax charge of
R32.2 million for fiscal 2011, which comprises a current taxation charge of R1.2 million, a deferred tax charge of R25.9 million
and secondary tax on companies amounting to R5.1 million. The year-on-year decrease in the net tax charge was mainly due to
recognition of a R26.9 million deferred tax asset attributable to Ergo Mining for tax losses previously not recognized.

5B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flows from operating activities

Net cash of R502.3 million (fiscal 2012: R621.2 million and fiscal 2011: R324.0 million) was generated by operating

activities for fiscal 2013. During fiscal 2013, the net working capital movement represented an outflow of cash of R42.2 million,
compared to an inflow of R63.5 million in fiscal 2012 and an outflow of R3.3 million in fiscal 2011. Cash generated from operating
activities decreased largely due to the disposal of Blyvoor on June 1, 2012, which represented R137.1 million of the cash generated
from operating activities in fiscal 2012. Cash generated from operating activities in fiscal 2012 increased largely due to the 36%
increase in the average rand gold price, which resulted in a significant rise in the group’s revenue.

Cash flows from investing activities

Net cash utilized by investing activities amounted to R429.4 million in fiscal 2013 compared to R413.3 million in fiscal

2012 and R335.2 million in fiscal 2011.

In fiscal 2013, cash utilized by investing activities mainly consisted of R382.4 million in additions to property, plant and

equipment, R58.3 million in acquisition of investments and R22.5 million spent on environmental rehabilitation payments. In fiscal
2012, cash utilized by investing activities mainly consisted of R333.2 million in additions to property, plant and equipment,
R63.2 million in acquisitions of investments, and R19.8 million spent on environmental rehabilitation payments. In fiscal 2011, cash
utilized by investing activities mainly consisted of R317.3 million in additions to property, plant and equipment, of which R176.8
million related to the Crown/Ergo pipeline project. In addition, R22.6 million was spent on environmental trust funds and
rehabilitation payments.

Total capital expenditure (cash) for fiscal 2013 was R382.4 million. Capital expenditure was predominantly on the Flotation

and fine-grind project, Ore Reserve development, new infrastructure and new mining equipment at our operations. Significant capital
projects for fiscal 2013 included:

· Ergo spent R261.5 million on the flotation and fine-grind project, R11.7 million on the Brakpan tailings facility, R20.5
million on the Cason high grade plant, R30.4 million on the Angelo Pan reclamation and pipeline, R26.3 million on
infrastructure upgrades equipment, and R5.5 million on other equipment.
· The corporate head office had capital expenditure amounting to R13.5 million relating to the exploration in Zimbabwe.

Total capital expenditure (cash) for fiscal 2012 was R333.2 million. Capital expenditure was predominantly on the

Crown/Ergo pipeline project, Ore Reserve development, new infrastructure and new mining equipment at our operations. Significant
capital projects for fiscal 2012 included:

· Ergo spent R33.9 million on the Crown/Ergo pipeline project, R50.7 million on the extension of the Brakpan tailings
facility, R15.5 million on the refurbishment of the Ergo plant, R38.5 million on the new floatation and fine-grind project,
R49.0 million on infrastructure upgrades and equipment, R14.2 million on the tailings facilities and R16.1 million to
replace old equipment and acquire new equipment.
· Blyvoor for opening up and development amounting to R50.3 million, equipment replacement amounting to R23.3 million
and R9.3 million for other equipment and the tailings facilities.

Total capital expenditure (cash) for fiscal 2011 was R317.3 million. Capital expenditure was predominantly on the

Crown/Ergo pipeline project, Ore Reserve development, new infrastructure and new mining equipment at our operations. Significant
capital projects for fiscal 2011 included:

· Ergo for construction, long-lead items relating to the Crown/Ergo pipeline project amounting to R119.7 million,
construction, commissioning and refurbishment of the second CIL circuit amounting to R29.4 million, expansion of the
tailing complex amounting to R27.7 million and for tailings deposition site maintenance R27.9 million.
· Blyvoor for opening up and development amounting to R57.2 million, equipment replacement amounting to R25.3 million
and R13.2 million for other equipment and the tailings facilities.

We anticipate decreasing our capital expenditure in fiscal 2014 by about 58% compared to fiscal 2013. We expect to

incur R150.7 million on capital expenditure for mining equipment, upgrading of current metallurgical plants and tailings facilities
as follows:

· Ergo – R148.8 million; and
· Other – R1.9 million.

Cash flows from financing activities

Net cash inflow from financing activities was R5.7 million in fiscal 2013 compared to a net cash outflow of R168.6 million

in fiscal 2012 and the net cash inflow of R81.3 million in fiscal 2011.

During fiscal 2013, the net cash inflow consisted of R163.3 million raised through a Domestic Medium Term Note Program,

which has been offset by R30.7 million repayments of loans and borrowings, R24.1 million share option buy-out and a dividend
payment of R103.1 million.

During fiscal 2012, the net cash outflow consisted of R96.2 million for repayments of loans and borrowings, R58.2 million

for the acquisition of treasury shares and a dividend payment of R28.9 million, which were offset by proceeds of R13.5 million on
disposal of treasury shares.

During fiscal 2011, the net cash inflow consisted of R108.0 million raised through a Domestic Medium Term Note Program,

which had been offset by an R8.3 million repayment of borrowings and a dividend payment of R19.2 million.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents as at June 30, 2013 amounted to R377.2 million compared to R298.5 million in fiscal 2012 and

R259.1 million in fiscal 2011. This included $0.6 million as at June 30, 2013 compared to $1.1 million in fiscal 2012 and $2.5 million
in fiscal 2011, the remainder of the cash and cash equivalent balances were denominated in South African rand. Surplus cash is held
in low-risk, high interest bearing products with various large financial institutions.

Borrowings and funding

Borrowing and funding requirements are not seasonal and there are no legal or economic restrictions on the transfer of funds

from subsidiaries.

Our external sources of capital include the issuance of debt, bank borrowings, loan notes and the issuance of equity

securities, which include the following:

On October 1, 2010 EMO established a R500 million Domestic Medium Term Note Program, or DMTN Program, under

which it could from time to time issue notes. On October 1, 2010, EMO issued R108 million in notes under the DMTN Program
and maturity dates of 12 and 24 months from the date of issue and interest set at the three month JIBAR rate plus a margin ranging
from 4% to 5% per annum. The loan notes with a 12 month maturity, amounting to R78.0 million, were repaid on October 3,
2011. The remaining loan notes with a 24 month maturity, amounting to R30.0 million, were repaid on October 3, 2012. The
EMO DMTN Program was cancelled and has been replaced by the DRDGOLD DMTN Program below.

On July 2, 2012, DRDGOLD established a R2.0 billion DMTN Program under which it may from time to time issue

notes. This DMTN Program replaces the DMTN Program established by EMO on October 1, 2010. In July and September 2012,
DRDGOLD issued R165 million in notes under the DMTN Program and maturity dates of 12, 24 and 36 months from the date of
issue and bearing interest at the three month JIBAR rate plus a margin ranging from 4% to 5% per annum. The loan notes with a
12 month maturity, amounting to R54.0 million, are repayable on September 15, 2013. The remaining loan notes with a 24 and 36
month maturity, amounting to R66.0 million and R45.0 million, respectively, are repayable on July 3, 2014 and July 3, 2015,
respectively.

Anticipated funding requirements and sources

At June 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of R377.2 million, and positive working capital (defined as current

assets less current liabilities) of R359.1 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of R298.5 million and positive working
capital of R209.7 million at June 30, 2012 and cash and cash equivalents of R259.1 million and positive working capital of
R100.0 million at June 30, 2011. At September 30, 2013, our cash and cash equivalents were R331.3 million.

Our management believes that existing cash resources, net cash generated from operations and the availability of

negotiated funding facilities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated commitments for fiscal 2014 as described above.

Our estimated working capital, capital expenditure and other funding commitments, as well as our sources of liquidity,

would be adversely affected if:

· our operations fail to generate forecasted net cash flows from operations;
· there is an adverse variation in the price of gold or foreign currency exchange rates in relation to the US dollar,
particularly with respect to the rand; or
· our operating results or financial condition are adversely affected by the uncertainties and variables facing our business
discussed under Item 5A.: “Operating Results” or the risk factors described in Item 3D.: “Risk Factors.”

In such circumstances, we could have insufficient capital to meet our current obligations in the normal course of

business, which would have an adverse impact on our financial position and our ability to continue operating as a going concern.
We would need to reassess our operations, consider further restructuring and/or obtain additional debt or equity funding. There
can be no assurance that we will obtain this additional or any other funding on acceptable terms or at all.

5C. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES, ETC.

Currently and for the last three years the costs associated with our research and development is not significant and we have

no registered patents or licenses.

5D. TREND INFORMATION

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we produced 33,597 ounces at average cash cost of R373,433 per kilogram from our

operations. Gold production from our operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 is expected to be in line with the first quarter
results. Cash operating costs for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 are expected to be slightly lower due to winter tariffs for electricity
applying for two months of the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

For the full year fiscal 2014, we are expecting gold production from our operations of 140,000 to 150,000 ounces at cash

operating costs of approximately R350,000 per kilogram, based on an exchange rate assumption of approximately $1.00/R10.04. Our
ability to meet the full year’s production target could be impacted by, amongst other factors, lower grades, failure to achieve the
targets set at Ergo and failure to timely complete the flotation and fine-grind project. We are also subject to cost pressures due to
above inflation increases in labor costs, electricity and water prices; increases in crude oil, steel, unforeseen changes in ore grades and
recoveries; unexpected changes in the quality or quantity of reserves; technical production issues; environmental and industrial
accidents; gold theft; environmental factors; and pollution, which could adversely impact the cash operating costs for fiscal 2014.

5E. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company does not engage in off-balance sheet financing activities, and does not have any off-balance sheet debt

obligations, unconsolidated special purposes entities or unconsolidated affiliates.

ordinary DRDGOLD shares as a mining right conversion bonus. DRDGOLD issued 50,000 of these shares on the signing of the
agreement, while the remaining tranche of the conversion of mining rights bonus of 50,000 shares will become due on the date
that the conversion of mining rights of DRDGOLD’s South African operations is completed.

Mr. C.C. Barnes receives from us a remuneration package of R3.4 million per annum. Mr. C.C. Barnes is eligible under

his employment agreement, for an incentive bonus of up to 75% of his annual remuneration package in respect of one bonus cycle
per annum over the duration of his appointment, on condition that DRDGOLD achieves certain key performance indicators. As a
further consideration for agreeing to remain in the employment of the Company, the Company issues Mr. C.C. Barnes with, up to
50% of his annual remuneration package, in share options in DRDGOLD Limited, calculated in accordance with DRDGOLD’s
share option scheme rules and principals, on an annual basis.

Each service agreement with our directors provides for the provision of benefits to the director where the agreement is

terminated by us in the case of our executive officers, except where terminated as a result of certain action on the part of the director,
or upon the director reaching a certain age, or by the director upon the occurrence of a change of control of us. A termination of a
director's employment upon the occurrence of a change of control of us is referred to as an “eligible termination.” Upon an eligible
termination, the director is entitled to receive a payment equal to at least one year's salary or fees, but not more than three years salary
for Executive Directors or two years fees for Non-Executive Directors, depending on the period of time that the director has been
employed.

Messrs. R.P. Hume, J. Turk and E.A. Jeneker each have service agreements which run for fixed periods until

September 30, 2014, October 31, 2014, and October 31, 2013 respectively. After expiration of the initial two year periods, the
agreements continue indefinitely until terminated by either party on not less than three months prior written notice. Mr. G.C.
Campbell has a service agreement which continues indefinitely until terminated by either party on not less than three months prior
written notice.

The Company does not administer any pension, retirement or any other similar scheme in which the directors receive a

benefit.

6C. BOARD PRACTICES

Board of Directors

As at September 30, 2013, the board of directors comprises two Executive Directors (Mr. D.J. Pretorius and

Mr. C.C. Barnes), and four Non-Executive Directors (Messrs. G.C. Campbell, R.P. Hume, J. Turk and E.A. Jeneker). The Non-
Executive Directors are independent under the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, requirements (as affirmatively determined
by the Board of Directors) and the South African King III Report, or the King III Report.

In accordance with the King III Report on corporate governance, as encompassed in the JSE Listings Requirements, and

in accordance with the United Kingdom Combined Code, the responsibilities of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are
separate. Mr. G.C. Campbell is the Non-Executive Chairman, Mr. D.J. Pretorius is the Chief Executive Officer and Mr. C.C.
Barnes is the Chief Financial Officer. The board has established a nominations committee, and it is our policy for details of a
prospective candidate to be distributed to all directors for formal consideration at a full meeting of the board. A prospective
candidate would be invited to attend a meeting and be interviewed before any decision is taken. In compliance with the NYSE
rules a majority of independent directors will select or recommend director nominees.

The board’s main roles are to create value for shareholders, to provide leadership of the Company, to approve the

Company’s strategic objectives and to ensure that the necessary financial and other resources are made available to management
to enable them to meet those objectives. The board retains full and effective control over the Company, meeting on a quarterly
basis with additional ad hoc meetings being arranged when necessary, to review strategy and planning and operational and
financial performance. The board further authorizes acquisitions and disposals, major capital expenditure, stakeholder
communication and other material matters reserved for its consideration and decision under its terms of reference. The board also
approves the annual budgets for the various operational units.

The board is responsible for monitoring the activities of executive management within the company and ensuring that

decisions on material matters are referred to the board. The board approves all the terms of reference for the various
subcommittees of the board, including special committees tasked to deal with specific issues. Only the executive directors are
involved with the day-to-day management of the Company.

To assist new directors, an induction program has been established by the Company, which includes background

materials, meetings with senior management, presentations by the Company’s advisors and site visits. The directors are assessed
annually, both individually and as a board, as part of an evaluation process, which is driven by an independent consultant. In
addition, the Remuneration and Nominations Committees formally evaluate the executive directors on an annual basis, based on
objective criteria.

All directors, in accordance with the Company’s MOI, are subject to retirement by rotation and re-election by

shareholders. In addition, all directors are subject to election by shareholders at the first annual general meeting following their
appointment by directors. The appointment of new directors is approved by the board as a whole. The names of the directors
submitted for re-election are accompanied by sufficient biographical details in the notice of the forthcoming annual general
meeting to enable shareholders to make an informed decision in respect of their re-election.

All directors have access to the advice and services of the Company Secretary, who is responsible to the board for

ensuring compliance with procedures and regulations of a statutory nature. Directors are entitled to seek independent professional
advice concerning the affairs of the Company at the Company’s expense, should they believe that course of action would be in the
best interest of the Company.

Two of the Non-Executive Directors (Messrs. G.C. Campbell and R.P. Hume) had share options under the Company’s

share option scheme of which the remaining balance were bought out during the year by the Company through a general share
option buy-out. We do not believe that this compromised their independence. No new share options have been issued to Non-
Executive Directors since June 2005.

Board meetings are held quarterly in South Africa and abroad. The structure and timing of the Company’s board

meetings, which are scheduled over two or three days, allows adequate time for the Non-Executive Directors to interact without
the presence of the Executive Directors. The board meetings include the meeting of the Risk Committee, Audit Committee,
Remuneration Committee, Nominations Committee and Social and Ethics Committee which act as subcommittees to the board.
Each subcommittee is chaired by one of the Independent Non-Executive Directors, except for the Risk Committee which is
chaired by the Chief Executive Officer, each of which provides a formal report back to the board. Each subcommittee meets for
approximately half a day. Certain senior members of staff are invited to attend the subcommittee meetings.

The board sets the standards and values of the Company and much of this has been embodied in the Company’s Code of

Ethics and Conduct, a copy of which is available on our website at www.drdgold.com. The Code of Ethics and Conduct applies to
all directors, officers and employees, including the principal executive, financial and accounting officers, in accordance with
Section 406 of the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the related US securities laws and the NYSE rules. The Code contains
provisions under which employees can report violations of Company policy or any applicable law, rule or regulation, including
US securities laws.

A description of the significant ways in which our corporate governance practices differ from practices followed by U.S.

companies listed on the NYSE can be found in Item 16G. “Corporate Governance”.

Mr. C.C. Barnes resigned as Chief Financial Officer with effect January 1, 2014.

Executive Committee

As at June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Executive Committee consisted of Mr. D.J. Pretorius (Chairman), Mr.

C.C. Barnes, Mr. C.M. Symons, Mr W.J. Schoeman and Mr. T.J. Gwebu.

The Executive Committee meets on a weekly basis to review current operations, develop strategy and policy proposals for

consideration by the board of directors. Members of the Executive Committee, who are unable to attend the meetings in person, are
able to participate via teleconference facilities, to allow participation in the discussion and conclusions reached.

Board Committees

The board has established a number of standing committees to enable it to properly discharge its duties and

responsibilities and to effectively fulfill its decision-making process. Each committee acts within written terms of reference which
have been approved by the board and under which specific functions of the board are delegated. The terms of reference for all
committees can be obtained by application to the Company Secretary at the Company’s registered office. Each committee has
defined purposes, membership requirements, duties and reporting procedures. Minutes of the meetings of these committees are
circulated to the members of the committees and made available to the board. Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for their
services on the committees concerned is determined by the board. The committees are subject to regular evaluation by the board
with respect to their performance and effectiveness.

The following information reflects the composition and activities of these committees.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Remuneration Committee

As at June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Remuneration Committee consisted of Mr. E.A. Jeneker (Chairman), Mr.

G.C. Campbell, Mr. R.P. Hume and Mr. J. Turk.

The Remuneration Committee, which is comprised of Non-Executive Directors, has been appointed by the board of

directors. The committee meets quarterly, but may meet more often on an ad hoc basis if required. The Remuneration Committee
is governed by its terms of reference and is responsible for approving the remuneration policies of the Company, the terms and
conditions of employment, and the eligibility and performance measures of the DRDGOLD Phantom Share Scheme and
DRDGOLD (1996) Share Option Scheme applicable to executive directors and senior management.

The committee’s objective is to evaluate and recommend to the board competitive packages which will attract and retain

executives of the highest caliber and encourage and reward superior performance. The committee also aims to ensure that criteria
are in place to measure individual performance. The committee approves the performance-based bonuses of the executive
directors based on such criteria. The General Manager Corporate Services provides the committee with access to comparative
industry surveys, which assist in formulating remuneration policies. As and when required the committee may also engage the
services of independent consultants to evaluate and review remuneration policies and related issues and brief members on
pertinent issues. The committee has in the past year engaged the services of such consultants to review the employment contracts
of the executive directors.

The remuneration policy, relating to the remuneration of directors and senior executives, is based on a reward system

comprising four principal elements:

· Basic remuneration, as benchmarked against industry norms;
· Bonuses or incentives, which are measured against agreed outcomes or Key Performance Indicators, or KPIs;
· Short-term rewards for exceptional performance; and
· Long-term retention of key employees based on scarcity of skill and strategic value, using phantom share options granted
under the DRDGOLD Phantom Share Scheme.

A copy of the policy is available by application to the Company Secretary at the Company’s registered office.

Nominations Committee

The board resolved to separate the Nominations Committee from the Remunerations Committee. The Nominations

Committee is chaired by the Chairman of the board, Mr. G.C. Campbell. The terms of reference were approved in August 2008.
Its duties include:

· making recommendations to the board on the appointment of new Executive and Non-Executive directors, including
making recommendations on the composition of the board generally and the balance between Executive and Non-
Executive directors appointed to the board;
· regular reviewing of the board structure, size and composition and making recommendations to the board with regard to
any adjustments that are deemed necessary;
· identifying and nominating candidates for the approval of the board to fill board vacancies as and when they arise as well
as putting in place plans for succession, in particular for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; and
· making recommendations on directors who are retiring by rotation to be put forward for re-election.

As at June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the members of the Nominations Committee consisted of Mr. G.C. Campbell

(Chairman) and Mr. R.P. Hume.

Audit and Risk Committees

On February 11, 2005, the Audit and Risk Committees started conducting joint meetings in respect of the quarterly

meetings. The members meet and the business of each committee is handled in joint deliberations taking place on the issues
raised. The Audit Committee is chaired by Mr. R.P. Hume and the Risk Committee by Mr. D.J. Pretorius. The reason for the joint
sittings is that there is a great deal of overlap between the financial risks discussed at Audit Committee level and at Risk
Committee level. The joint sittings of the Committees bring about better disclosure and ensure that the Company conforms more
closely to the process prescribed by the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Audit Committee

As at June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Audit Committee consisted of Mr. R.P. Hume (Chairman), Mr. J. Turk and

Mr. E.A. Jeneker.

The Audit Committee is comprised solely of Non-Executive Directors, all of whom are independent. See Item 16G.:

“Corporate Governance”. The primary responsibilities of the Audit Committee, as set out in the Audit Committee charter, is to
assist the board in carrying out its duties relating to accounting policies, internal financial control, financial reporting practices and
the preparation of accurate financial reporting and financial statements in compliance with all applicable legal requirements and
accounting standards. A copy of the charter is available by application to the Company Secretary at the Company’s registered
office.

The Audit Committee meets quarterly with the external auditors, the Company’s internal audit practitioner, the Chief

Financial Officer and the Internal Audit and Compliance Manager to review the audit plans of the internal auditors, to ascertain
the extent to which the scope of the internal audits can be relied upon to detect weaknesses in the internal controls and to review
the annual and interim financial statements prior to approval by the board. The Audit Committee reviews our annual results, the
effectiveness of our system of internal financial controls, internal audit procedures and legal and regulatory compliance. The
committee also reviews the scope of work carried out by our internal auditors and holds regular discussions with the external
auditors and internal auditors.

The committee appoints, re-appoints and removes the external auditors and approves the remuneration and terms of

engagement of the external auditors. The committee is required to pre-approve, and has pre-approved, non-audit services provided
by our external auditors. The Company’s external audit function is currently being undertaken by KPMG Inc.

The Company’s internal and external auditors have unrestricted access to the chairman of the Audit Committee and,

where necessary, to the Chairman of the board and Chief Executive Officer. All important findings arising from audit procedures
are brought to the attention of the committee and, if necessary, to the board.

Risk Committee

As at June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Risk Committee consisted of Mr. D.J. Pretorius (Chairman), Mr. J. Turk,

Mr. G.C. Campbell, Mr. E.A. Jeneker, Mr. R.P. Hume and Mr. C.C. Barnes.

The Risk Committee was established in January 2004 and currently comprises four Non-Executive Directors and two

Executive Directors. Its overall objective is to assist the board in its duties relating to risk management and control
responsibilities, assurance issues, health, safety and environmental compliance, and the monitoring and reporting of all these
matters. The Risk Committee facilitates communication between the board, the Audit Committee, internal auditors and other
parties engaged in risk management activities. The terms of reference of the Risk Committee can be obtained by application to the
Company Secretary at the Company’s registered office.

The Risk Committee’s role is to ensure that:
· an effective risk management program is implemented and maintained;
· risk management awareness is promoted amongst all employees;
· risk programs (financing/insurance) adequately protect the Company against catastrophic risks;
· regular risk assessments are conducted;
· total cost of risk in the long term is reduced;
· the protection of the Group's assets is promoted throughout the Group;
· the health and safety and well being of all stakeholders is improved; and
· the Company’s activities are carried out in such a way so as to ensure the safety and health of employees.

The Risk Committee meets quarterly and reports to the board. Additional ad hoc meetings may be arranged as and when

required. Certain members of executive management are occasionally invited to attend Risk Committee meetings, such as the
Internal Audit and Compliance Manager, the Group Risk Manager, the Group Financial Manager, the Operational Managers and
the Group Legal Counsel.

The system to manage risk involves all significant business and operational risks which could undermine the

achievement of business objectives and undermine the preservation of shareholder value. The significant risks facing the Group
including those at operations have been identified and have been included in Item 3D.: “Risk factors.” Individuals have been
appointed to address each risk and the results thereof are reviewed by senior management through regular risk meetings. The aim
of the internal control systems is for management to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives will be met. In addition to
the above initiatives the Group also employs third party consultants to benchmark our operations against other mining operations
throughout South Africa and worldwide.

An important aspect of risk management is the transfer of risk to third parties to protect the Company from any major

disaster. We have embarked on a program to ensure that our major assets and potential business interruption and liability claims
are covered by group insurance policies that encompass our operations. The majority of the cover is through reputable insurance
companies in London and continental Europe and the insurance programs are renewed on an annual basis. A cell captive
insurance company has been established to enable further reduction in annual insurance premiums.

Social and Ethics Committee

As at June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Social and Ethics Committee consisted of Mr. E.A. Jeneker (Chairman),

Mr. D.J. Pretorius and Mr. C.C. Barnes.

The board, taking into account that all the group’s operations are based in South Africa and in order to achieve the triple

bottom line espoused in the King III Report and in order to reach the empowerment goal to which it is committed, establishing a
committee, the focus of which will be transformation and sustainable development. The terms of reference were approved by the
board at the August 2008 meeting. The board resolved to convert the Transformation and Sustainable Development Committee
into the Social and Ethics Committee which the Company is required to set up in terms of the Companies Act, 2008 of South
Africa. The objectives of this committee are:

· promoting transformation within the company and the economic empowerment of previously disadvantaged
communities, particularly within areas where the company conducts business;
· striving towards achieving the goal of equality as the South African constitution and other legislation require within the
context of the demographics of the country at all levels of the company and its subsidiaries; and
· conducting business in a manner which is conducive to internationally acceptable environmental and sustainability
standards.

6D. EMPLOYEES

Employees

The geographic breakdown of our employees (including specialized service providers who are contracted employees

employed by third parties), was as follows at the end of each of the past three fiscal years:

The total number of employees at June 30, 2013, of 2,752 comprises 1,740 specialized service providers and 1,012

employees who are directly employed by us and our subsidiary companies. As of September 30, 2013, we had 2,443 employees
(including 1,441 contract employees). The increase in the number of employees in fiscal 2013 is mainly due to the introduction of the
flotation and fine-grind circuit at Ergo.

As of June 30, 2013, the breakdown of our employees by main categories of activity for the periods below was as follows:

Labor Relations

As at June 30, 2013, we employed and contracted 2,752 people in South Africa. Approximately 61% of our South African

employees are members of trade unions or employee associations. South Africa's labor relations environment remains a platform for
social reform. The National Union of Mineworkers, or NUM, the main South African mining industry union, is influential in the
tripartite alliance between the ruling African National Congress, the Congress of South African Trade Unions, or COSATU, and the
South African Communist Party as it is the biggest affiliate of COSATU. The relationship between management and labor unions
remains cordial. The DRDGOLD and NUM coordinating forum meets regularly to discuss matters pertinent to both parties at a EMO
level, while operations level forums continue to deal with local matters.

In October 2013, the NUM rejected the company’s offer of a 8.0% increase for categories 4 -5 and a 7.5% increase for

categories 6 – 15 for Ergo and ERPM. The NUM also rejected the 10% increases in the living out allowances for fiscal 2013 and
fiscal 2014. The NUM was granted strike certificates in respect of the two operations and strike action started with the morning
shift on Tuesday, October 8, 2013.

On October 9, 2013, Ergo and ERPM signed a two year wage settlement agreement with effect from July 1, 2013, with

NUM and UASA, which provides for average annual compensation increases in year one of 10% for categories 4 – 5, 9% for
categories 6 – 7 and 8% for categories 8 – 15; and in year two 8% for categories 4 – 5 and 7.5% for categories 6 – 15.

The Company is placing a greater emphasis on its Corporate Social Responsibility by becoming increasingly involved in

appropriate projects that give effect to the ideals of the Mining Charter and good corporate governance. We recognize the need for
transformation and have put structures in place to address this at both management and board level.

By statute we are required to pay each employee who is dismissed for reasons based on the operational requirements of

our operations, a severance package of not less than one week’s remuneration for every completed year of service. In specific
agreements with organized labor we undertook, as in the past, to pay packages equal to two weeks basic pay for every completed
year of service as part of a balancing compromise with the labor unions between the high additional costs of non-financial items
and incentive payments (which are deemed part of remuneration), and an additional one week benefit based on basic pay. These
employees were provided with counseling services and the opportunity to undergo skills training to be able to find employment
outside the mining industry.

AIDS represents a very serious threat to us and the gold mining industry as a whole in terms of the potential reduced

productivity and increased medical costs. The exact extent of infection in our workforce is not known at present, although it is
roughly estimated by the industry that the prevalence of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, in the South African industry is
currently approximately 30% to 35%. We have several AIDS awareness campaigns in place at our operations.

Safety statistics

Due to the importance of our labor force, we continuously strive to create a safe and healthy working environment. The

Each option is representative of a right to acquire one ordinary share at a predetermined exercise price.

Closed periods apply to share trading by directors and other employees, whenever certain employees of the Company

become or could potentially become aware of material price sensitive information, such as information relating to an acquisition,
quarterly results etc., which is not in the public domain. When these employees have access to this information an embargo is
placed on share trading for those individuals concerned. The embargo need not involve the entire Company in the case of an
acquisition and may only apply to the board of directors, executive committee, and the financial and new business teams, but in
the case of quarterly results the closed-period is group-wide.

Under the listings requirements of the JSE, we are not required to disclose, and we do not otherwise disclose or ascertain,

share ownership of individual officers in our share capital. However, to the best of our knowledge, we believe that our ordinary
shares held by executive officers, in aggregate, do not exceed one percent of the Company’s issued ordinary share capital. For details
of share ownership of directors and prescribed officers see Item 7A.: “Major Shareholders.”

Calculated as follows: actual number of instances divided by the total number of man hours worked multiplied by one million.

Certain Directors hold options which expire at various times. For those directors, a range is provided indicating the earliest and latest expiration

dates.

DRDGOLD (1996) Share Option Scheme, or the Scheme

We operate a securities option plan as an incentive tool for our Executive Directors and senior employees whose skills and

experience are recognized as being essential to the Company’s performance. Two of our Non-Executive Directors (Messrs.
G.C. Campbell and R.P. Hume) had share options under the Scheme which has all been bought out by the Company through a
general buy-out; no new share options have been issued to Non-Executive Directors since December 2004. In compliance with JSE
Listing Requirements, options awarded to an individual employee are subject to a cumulative upper limit of 2.0 million options,
which is lower than the previous 2% of the Company’s issued share capital. In addition, a maximum of 40.0 million options are
available for utilization under the share option scheme, which is lower than the previous 15% of the issued ordinary shares. As at
September 30, 2013, the number of issued and exercisable share options was approximately 0.93% of our issued ordinary share
capital, representing 3.6 million share options. In November 2012 the Remuneration Committee suspended the share option
scheme and approved a share buyback. A general offer was made to all participant of the Scheme to buy-back all vested share
options as part of the transition to the new DRDGOLD Phantom Share Scheme. Not all share options were bought back and at June
30, 2013, 715,378 vested share options remained outstanding. The participants in the Scheme are fully taxed based on individual
tax directives obtained from the South African Revenue Service on any gains realized on the exercise of share options.

The price at which an option may be granted will be, in respect of each share which is the subject of the option, the volume

weighted average price of a share on the JSE for the seven days on which the JSE is open for trading, preceding the day on which the
employee is granted the option. The allocation date will be the date when the directors approve allocation of share options. Each
option remains in force for five years after the date of grant (ten years if issued prior to 2009), subject to the terms of the option plan.
Options granted under a plan vest primarily according to the following schedule over a maximum of a three year period:

Percentage vested in each period

Period after the original date of the option grant

25% 6

months

25% 1

year

25% 2

years

25% 3

years

Any options not exercised within five years (issued prior to 2009: ten years) from the original date of the option grant will

expire and may not thereafter be exercised. The previous bi-annual allocation of options was changed in April 2006 to an annual
allocation.

Options to purchase a total of 3,655,357 ordinary shares were outstanding on June 30, 2013, of which 715,378 options to

purchase ordinary shares were currently exercisable. In fiscal 2013, a total of 37 employees and 7 ex-employees participated in the
Scheme, including Executive Directors and other senior employees. The outstanding options are exercisable at purchase prices that
range from R3.50 to R19.36 per share and expire five years (issued prior to 2009: ten years) from the date of issue to the participants.

In August 2012, the board of directors decided to replace the Scheme with a cash-settled phantom share scheme. The new

phantom share scheme was approved by the board of directors in October 2012. In November 2012 the Remuneration Committee
suspended the Scheme and approved the share option buy back. The advantages presented by the suspension of the Scheme and share
option buy back are inter alia :

avoidance of dilution of current shareholders; and

avoidance of short vesting periods.

DRDGOLD Phantom Share Scheme

In fiscal 2013 we established the DRDGOLD Phantom Share Scheme, The scheme, replaces the DRDGOLD (1996)

Share Option Scheme, which is part of the long-term retention strategy intended to grow the company. The phantom share scheme
is operated as an incentive tool for our executive directors and senior employees whose skills and experience are recognized as
being essential to the Company’s performance. The scheme is cash settled. In terms of the phantom share scheme rules, 50% of
the phantom shares granted will be valued based on the Group meeting certain pre-determined performance criteria and the
remaining 50% to defined retention periods. The maximum incentive pay-out per annum to any single employee may not exceed
75% of that employee’s gross remuneration package. The participants in the scheme are fully taxed at their marginal rate on any
gains realized on the exercise of their phantom shares.

The phantom share granted has a zero base value, however the number of phantom shares granted by the Remuneration

Committee is determined by the price in respect of each share which is the subject of the phantom share, the volume weighted
average price of a share on the JSE for the seven days on which the JSE is open for trading, preceding the day on which the
employee is granted a phantom share. The allocation date will be the date when the directors approve allocation of the phantom
shares. Each phantom share remains in force until the date of vesting, subject to the terms of the scheme rules. Phantom shares
granted under the phantom share scheme vest primarily according the following schedule over a maximum of a three year period:

Any phantom shares not exercised on the date of vesting will expire and may not thereafter be exercised. The phantom

shares granted in the current financial year, being the first year of the phantom share scheme exists, were 3,019,549 phantom
shares.

* Indicates share ownership of less than 1% of our outstanding ordinary shares.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment

power with respect to securities. Ordinary shares issuable pursuant to options, to the extent the options are currently exercisable or
convertible within 60 days of September 30, 2013, are treated as outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. As of
September 30, 2013, we are not aware of anyone owning 5% or more of our ordinary shares other than the Bank of New York which
holds 45.1% of our issued ordinary shares through our ADR program and Public Investment Corporation which holds 5.0%. Unless
otherwise noted, each person or group identified possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares, subject to
community property laws where applicable. No shareholder has voting rights which differ from the voting rights of any other
shareholder. Unless indicated otherwise, the business address of the beneficial owner is: DRDGOLD Limited, 50 Constantia
Boulevard, Constantia Kloof Ext. 28, Roodepoort, 1709, South Africa.

Cumulative Preference Shares

Randgold and Exploration Company Limited, or Randgold, owns 5,000,000 (100%) of our cumulative preference shares.

Randgold's registered address is Third Floor, Sandton City Office Tower, 158 Fifth Street, Sandton, 2196, South Africa.

The holders of cumulative preference shares do not have voting rights unless any preference dividend is in arrears for more

than six months. The terms of issue of the cumulative preference shares are that they carry the right, in priority to the Company's
ordinary shares, to receive a dividend equal to 3% of the gross future revenue generated by the exploitation or the disposal of the
Argonaut mineral rights acquired from Randgold in September 1997. Additionally, holders of cumulative preference shares may vote
on resolutions which adversely affect their interests and on the disposal of all, or substantially all, of our assets or mineral rights.
There is currently no active trading market for our cumulative preference shares. Holders of cumulative preference shares will only
obtain their potential voting rights once the Argonaut Project becomes an operational gold mine, and dividends accrue to them. The
prospecting rights have since expired and the Argonaut Project terminated. . The Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) granted
DRDGOLD a prospecting right over an area which was going to be too small to mine. When an application for a greater area was
lodged, the DMR stated that the additional area is in an urban location and an application for a prospecting right cannot be
granted. We are in the process, together with Randgold, of cancelling these preference shares.

7B. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Rand Refinery Proprietary Limited (Rand Refinery) agreement

On October 12, 2001, we entered into an agreement with Rand Refinery for the refining and sale of all of our gold produced

in South Africa. Under the agreement, Rand Refinery performs the final refining of our gold and casts it into troy ounce bars. Rand
Refinery then usually sells the gold on the same day as delivery, for the London afternoon close price. In exchange for this service,
we pay Rand Refinery a variable refining fee plus fixed marketing, loan and administration fees. We received a dividend distribution
as part of the settlement reached with Simmers and Jack Mines Limited of R6.8 million during fiscal 2013 however, we received no
dividend during fiscal 2012. Mr. T.J. Gwebu, Executive Officer: Legal, Compliance and Company Secretary of DRDGOLD is a
director of Rand Refinery and a member of their Remuneration Committee and chairman of their Social and Ethics Committee. Mr.
M. Burrell, Financial Director of Ergo, is an alternate director of Rand Refinery and a member of their Audit Committee. The
Company currently owns 11.3% (Fiscal 2012: 4%) of Rand Refinery (which is jointly owned by South African mining companies).
The movement in shareholding is due to the settlement that was reached with Simmers and Jack Mines Limited, before the matter
could reach legal proceedings, relating to a further 6.22% in Rand Refinery.

Guardrisk Insurance Cell Captive (Guardrisk)

Insurance premiums were paid to Guardrisk amounting to R21.0 million by Ergo (2012: R41.8 million by ERPM and R21.0

agreements entered into with each of them. These services include financial management, treasury services, gold administration,
technical and engineering services, mineral resource services and other management related services. We own a 74% interest in EMO
and until June 1, 2012 for management service and management control purposes, we owned 74% of Blyvoor. Ergo, Crown and
ERPM are wholly-owned subsidiaries of EMO. These arrangements allow us to monitor and provide input on the management of
these companies in which we have an investment.

The management services at Ergo, Crown and ERPM are provided by EMO. Crown and the surface assets in ERPM were

restructured into Ergo on July 1, 2012. EMO’s management fee for services performed in fiscal 2013 at Ergo was R53.7 million
(2012: Rnil), Crown Rnil (2012: R16.6 million) and ERPM Rnil (2012: R16.6 million). Management fees recovered from EMO were
R25.1 million (2012: R21.6 million) and from Blyvoor Rnil (2012: until June 1, 2012 when Blyvoor was sold R15.2 million).

EMO paid interest on inter-company loans to Ergo and received interest from Crown and ERPM. EMO’s interest paid to

Ergo in fiscal 2013 was R2.2 million (2012: Rnil) and interest received in fiscal 2013 from ERPM R21.5 million (2012: R29.5
million) and Crown Rnil (2012: R1.9 million). Interest recovered from EMO was R23.0 million (2011: R26.6 million) and from Ergo
R32.2 million (since the restructuring on July 1, 2012) (2012: Rnil).

Consultancy agreement

consolidation purposes) in DRDGOLD. 62,614 (2012: 3,584,627) of the treasury shares held by EMO were used to settle share
options exercised by key management personnel. As at June 30, 2013, EMO held 6,205,559 (2012: 6,268,173) treasury shares.

Subordination agreements and letters of support to subsidiaries

In October 2013, DRDGOLD Limited entered into a subordination agreement with EMO, subordinating a loan made to

EMO amounting to R544.7 million, for the benefit of EMO’s third party creditors. Consecutively, DRDGOLD Limited issued a letter
of support to EMO committing to support EMO financially for 367 days from July 1, 2013, or until all other liabilities are paid, or the
total assets of EMO, fairly valued, exceeds its total liabilities, fairly valued, and that DRDGOLD Limited will not call for the

10B. MEMORANDUM OF INCORPORATION

Description of Our Memorandum and Articles of Association and Ordinary Shares

As of June 30, 2013, we had authorized for issuance 600,000,000 (as of September 30, 2013: 600,000,000) ordinary shares,

no par value, and 5,000,000 (as of September 30, 2013: 5,000,000) cumulative preference shares, R0.10 par value. On that date, we
had issued 385,383,767 (as of September 30, 2013: 385,383,767) ordinary shares and 5,000,000 (as of September 30, 2013:
5,000,000) cumulative preference shares.

Set out below are brief summaries of certain provisions of our Memorandum of Incorporation, or our MOI, the South

African Companies Act, 2008 (as amended), or the Companies Act, and the JSE Listings Requirements, all as in effect on September
30, 2013. The summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of
the MOI, the Companies Act, and the JSE Listings Requirements.

We are registered under the Companies Act of South Africa under registration number 1895/000926/06. As set forth in our

Memorandum of Incorporation, the main object and business of our company is mining and exploration for gold and other minerals.

Borrowing Powers

Our directors may from time to time borrow for the purposes of the company, such sums as they think fit and secure the

payment or repayment of any such sums, or any other sum, as they think fit, whether by the creation and issue of securities, mortgage
or charge upon all or any of the property or assets of the company. The directors shall procure that the aggregate principal amount at
any one time outstanding in respect of monies so borrowed or raised by the company and all the subsidiaries for the time being of the
company shall not exceed the aggregate amount at that time authorized to be borrowed or secured by the company or the subsidiaries
for the time being of the company (as the case may be).

Share Ownership Requirements

Our directors are not required to hold any shares to qualify or be appointed as a director.

Voting by Directors

A director may authorize any other director to vote for him at any meeting at which neither he nor his alternate director

appointed by him is present. Any director so authorized shall, in addition to his own vote, have a vote for each director by whom he is
authorized.

The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the directors is a majority of the directors present at a meeting

before a vote may be called at any meeting of directors.

Directors are required to notify our board of directors of interests in companies and contracts. If a director has a personal

financial interest in respect of a matter to be considered at a meeting of the board he or she must disclose the interest and its nature,
any material information relating to the matter and thereafter leave the meeting immediately after making the disclosure. Such
director must not take part in consideration of the matter. He is not to be regarded as being present for the purpose of determining
whether a resolution has sufficient support to be adopted.

The King Report on Corporate Governance for South Africa (King III Report) which came into effect on March 1, 2010,

sets out guidelines to promote the highest standards of corporate governance among South African companies. The board of directors
believes that our business should be conducted according to the highest legal and ethical standards. In accordance with the board
practice, all remuneration of executive directors is approved by the Remuneration Committee, and the shareholders approve
remuneration of non-executive directors.

DRDGOLD commits itself to observing the provision of the King III Report and enforcing these to the extent possible

within the context of the report’s ‘apply or explain’ principle.

Under South African common law, directors are required to comply with certain fiduciary duties to the company and to

exercise proper care and skill in discharging their responsibilities. These common law duties have now been codified by the
Companies Act.

Age Restrictions

There is no age limit for directors.

Election of Directors

Each director shall be appointed by election by way of an ordinary resolution of shareholders at a general or annual meeting

of company (“elected director (s)”) and no appointment of a director by way of a written circulated shareholders resolution in terms
of section 60 of the Companies Act shall be competent.

One third of our non-executive directors, on a rotating basis, are subject to re-election at each annual general shareholder’s

meeting. Retiring directors usually make themselves available for re-election. An amendment to the MOI which is intended to subject
executive directors to re-election by rotation will be proposed at the 2013 annual general meeting.

General Meetings

On the request of any shareholder or shareholders holding not less than 10 percent of our share capital which carries the

right of voting at general meetings, we shall issue a notice to shareholders convening a general meeting for a date not less than
15 days from the date of the notice. Directors may convene general meetings at any time.

Our annual general meeting and a meeting of our shareholders for the purpose of passing a special resolution may be called

by giving 15 days advance written notice of that meeting. For any other general meeting of our shareholders, 15 days advance written
notice is required.

Our MOI provides that if at a meeting convened upon request by our shareholders, a quorum is not present within fifteen

minutes after the time selected for the meeting, such meeting shall be postponed for one week. However the chairman has the
discretion to extend the fifteen minutes for a reasonable period on certain grounds. The necessary quorum is three members present in
person or represented by proxy.

Voting Rights

The holders of our ordinary shares are generally entitled to vote at general meetings and on a show of hands have one vote

per person and on a poll have one for every share held. The holders of our cumulative preference shares are not entitled to vote at a
general meeting unless any preference dividend is in arrears for more than six months at the date on which the notice convening the
general meeting is posted to the shareholders. Additionally, holders of cumulative preference shares may vote on resolutions which
adversely affect their interests and on resolutions regarding the disposal of all or substantially all of our assets or mineral rights. When
entitled to vote, holders of our cumulative preference shares are entitled to one vote per person on a show of hands and that portion of
the total votes which the aggregate amount of the nominal value of the shares held by the relevant shareholder bears to the aggregate
amount of the nominal value of all shares issued by us.

Dividends

We may, in a general meeting, or our directors may, from time to time, declare a dividend to be paid to the shareholders in

proportion to the number of shares they each hold. No dividend shall be declared except out of our profits. Dividends may be
declared either free or subject to the deduction of income tax or duty in respect of which we may be charged. Holders of ordinary
shares are entitled to receive dividends as and when declared by the directors.

Ownership Limitations

There are no limitations imposed by our MOI or South African law on the rights of shareholders to hold or vote on our

ordinary shares or securities convertible into our ordinary shares.

Winding-up

If we are wound-up, then the assets remaining after payment of all of our debts and liabilities, including the costs of

liquidation, shall be applied to repay to the shareholders the amount paid up on our issued capital and thereafter the balance shall be
distributed to the shareholders in proportion to their respective shareholdings. On a winding up, our cumulative preference shares
rank, in regard to all arrears of preference dividends, prior to the holders of ordinary shares. As of September 30, 2013, no such
dividends have been declared. Except for the preference dividend and as described in this Item our cumulative preference shares are
not entitled to any other participation in the distribution of our surplus assets on winding-up.

Reduction of Capital

We may, by special resolution, reduce the share capital authorized by our MOI, or reduce our issued share capital including,

without limitation, any stated capital, capital redemption reserve fund and share premium account by making distributions and buying
back our shares.

Amendment of the MOI

Our MOI may be altered by the passing of a special resolution or in compliance with a court order. The Company may also

amend the MOI by increasing or decreasing the number of authorized shares, classifying or reclassifying shares, or determining the
terms of shares in a class. A special resolution is passed when the shareholders holding at least 25% of the total votes of all the
members entitled to vote are present or represented by proxy at a meeting and, if the resolution was passed on a show of hands, at
least 75% of those shareholders voted in favor of the resolution and, if a poll was demanded, at least 75% of the total votes to which
those shareholders are entitled were cast in favor of the resolution.

Consent of the Holders of Cumulative Preference Shares

The rights and conditions attaching to the cumulative preference shares may not be cancelled, varied or added, nor may we

issue shares ranking, regarding rights to dividends or on winding up, in priority to or equal with our cumulative preference shares, or
dispose of all or part of the Argonaut mineral rights without the consent in writing of the registered holders of our cumulative
preference shares or the prior sanction of a resolution passed at a separate class meeting of the holders of our cumulative preference
shares.

Distributions

We are authorized to make payments in cash or in specie to our shareholders in accordance with the provisions of the

Companies Act and other consents required by law from time to time. We may, for example, in a general meeting, upon
recommendation of our directors, resolve that any surplus funds representing capital profits arising from the sale of any capital assets
and not required for the payment of any fixed preferential dividend, be distributed among our ordinary shareholders. However, no
such profit shall be distributed unless we have sufficient other assets to satisfy our liabilities and to cover our paid up share capital.
We also need to consider the solvency and liquidity requirements stated in the Companies Act of South Africa.

Directors’ power to vote compensation to themselves

The remuneration of non-executive directors may not exceed in aggregate in any financial year the amount fixed by the

Company in general meeting. The Companies Act requires that remuneration to non-executive directors may be paid only in
accordance with a special resolution approved by shareholders within the previous two years.

Time limit for dividend entitlement

All unclaimed monies that are due to any shareholder/s shall be held by the company in trust for an indefinite period until

lawfully claimed by such shareholder/s, subject to the Prescription Act, 1968 as amended or any other law which governs the law of
prescription.

Staggered director elections & cumulative voting

At each annual general meeting of the Company one-third of the directors shall retire and be eligible for re-election. No

provision is made for cumulative voting.

Sinking fund provisions and liability to further capital calls

There are no sinking fund provisions in the MOI attaching to any class of the company shares, and the company does not

subject shareholders to liability to further capital calls.

Provision that would delay/prevent change of control

The Companies Act provides that companies which propose to merge or amalgamate must enter into a written agreement

setting out the terms thereof. They must prove that upon implementation of the amalgamation or merger each will satisfy the
solvency and liquidity test. Companies involved in disposals, amalgamations or mergers, or schemes of arrangement must obtain a
compliance certificate from the Takeover Regulation Panel, pass special resolutions and in some instances they must obtain an
independent expert report.

10D. EXCHANGE CONTROLS

The following is a summary of the material South African exchange control measures, which has been derived from

publicly available documents. The following summary is not a comprehensive description of all the exchange control regulations.
The discussion in this section is based on the current law and positions of the South African Government. Changes in the law may
alter the exchange control provisions that apply, possibly on a retroactive basis.

Introduction

Dealings in foreign currency, the export of capital and revenue, payments by residents to non-residents and various other

exchange control matters in South Africa are regulated by the South African exchange control regulations, or the Regulations. The
Regulations form part of the general monetary policy of South Africa. The Regulations are issued under Section 9 of the Currency
and Exchanges Act, 1933 (as amended). In terms of the Regulations, the control over South African capital and revenue reserves, as
well as the accruals and spending thereof, is vested in the Treasury (Ministry of Finance), or the Treasury.

The Treasury has delegated the administration of exchange controls to the Exchange Control Department of the South

African Reserve Bank, or SARB, which is responsible for the day to day administration and functioning of exchange controls. SARB
has a wide discretion. Certain banks authorized by the Treasury to co-administer certain of the exchange controls, are authorized by
the Treasury to deal in foreign exchange. Such dealings in foreign exchange by authorized dealers are undertaken in accordance with
the provisions and requirements of the exchange control rulings, or Rulings, and contain certain administrative measures, as well as
conditions and limits applicable to transactions in foreign exchange, which may be undertaken by authorized dealers. Non-residents
have been granted general approval, in terms of the Rulings, to deal in South African assets, to invest and disinvest in South Africa.

The Regulations provide for restrictions on exporting capital from the Common Monetary Area consisting of South Africa,

Namibia, and the Kingdoms of Lesotho and Swaziland. Transactions between residents of the Common Monetary Area are not
subject to these exchange control regulations.

There are many inherent disadvantages to exchange controls, including distortion of the price mechanism, problems

encountered in the application of monetary policy, detrimental effects on inward foreign investment and administrative costs
associated therewith. The South African Finance Minister has indicated that all remaining exchange controls are likely to be
dismantled as soon as circumstances permit. Since 1998, there has been a gradual relaxation of exchange controls. The gradual
approach to the abolition of exchange controls adopted by the Government of South Africa is designed to allow the economy to
adjust more smoothly to the removal of controls that have been in place for a considerable period of time. The stated objective of the
authorities is equality of treatment between residents and non-residents with respect to inflows and outflows of capital. The focus of
regulation, subsequent to the abolition of exchange controls, is expected to favor the positive aspects of prudential financial
supervision.

The present exchange control system in South Africa is used principally to control capital movements. South African

companies are not permitted to maintain foreign bank accounts without SARB approval and, without the approval of SARB, are
generally not permitted to export capital from South Africa or hold foreign currency. In addition, South African companies are
required to obtain the approval of SARB prior to raising foreign funding on the strength of their South African statements of financial
position, which would permit recourse to South Africa in the event of defaults. Where 75% or more of a South African company's
capital, voting power, power of control or earnings is directly or indirectly controlled by non-residents, such a corporation is
designated an “affected person” by SARB, and certain restrictions are placed on its ability to obtain local financial assistance. We are
not, and have never been, designated an “affected person” by SARB.

Foreign investment and outward loans by South African companies are also restricted. In addition, without the approval of

SARB, South African companies are generally required to repatriate to South Africa profits of foreign operations and are limited in
their ability to utilize profits of one foreign business to finance operations of a different foreign business. South African companies
establishing subsidiaries, branches, offices or joint ventures abroad are generally required to submit financial statements on these
operations as well as progress reports to SARB on an annual basis. As a result, a South African company's ability to raise and deploy
capital outside the Common Monetary Area is restricted.

Although exchange controls have been gradually relaxed since 1998, unlimited outward transfers of capital are not permitted

at this stage. Some of the more salient changes to the South African exchange control provisions over the past few years have been as
follows:

· corporations wishing to invest in countries outside the Common Monetary Area, in addition to what is set out below, apply
for permission to enter into corporate asset/share swap and share placement transactions to acquire foreign investments. The
latter mechanism entails the placement of the locally quoted corporation's shares with long-term overseas holders who, in
payment for the shares, provide the foreign currency abroad which the corporation then uses to acquire the target
investment;
· corporations wishing to establish new overseas ventures are permitted to transfer offshore up to R500 million to finance
approved investments abroad and up to R500 million to finance approved new investments in African countries on an
annual bases. Approval from SARB is required in advance for investments in excess of R500 million. On application to
SARB, corporations are also allowed to use part of their local cash holdings to finance up to 10% of approved new foreign
investments where the cost of these investments exceeds the current limits;
· as a general rule, SARB requires that more than 10% of equity of the acquired off-shore venture is acquired within a
predetermined period of time, as a prerequisite to allowing the expatriation of funds. If these requirements are not met,
SARB may instruct that the equity be disposed of. In our experience SARB has taken a commercial view on this, and has on
occasion extended the period of time for compliance; and
· remittance of directors' fees payable to persons permanently resident outside the Common Monetary Area may be approved
by authorized dealers, in terms of the Rulings.

Authorized dealers in foreign exchange may, against the production of suitable documentary evidence, provide forward

cover to South African residents in respect of fixed and ascertained foreign exchange commitments covering the movement of goods.

Persons who emigrate from South Africa are entitled to take limited amounts of money out of South Africa as a settling-in

allowance. The balance of the emigrant's funds will be blocked and held under the control of an authorized dealer. These blocked
funds may only be invested in:

· blocked current, savings, interest bearing deposit accounts in the books of an authorized dealer in the banking sector;
· securities quoted on the JSE and financial instruments listed on the Bond Exchange of South Africa which are deposited
with an authorized dealer and not released except temporarily for switching purposes, without the approval of SARB.
Authorized dealers must at all times be able to demonstrate that listed or quoted securities or financial instruments which are
dematerialized or immobilized in a central securities depository are being held subject to the control of the authorized dealer
concerned; or
· mutual funds.

Aside from the investments referred to above, blocked rands may only be utilized for very limited purposes. Dividends

declared out of capital gains or out of income earned prior to emigration remain subject to the blocking procedure. It is not possible to
predict when existing exchange controls will be abolished or whether they will be continued or modified by the South African
Government in the future.

Sale of Shares

Under present exchange control regulations in South Africa, our ordinary shares and ADSs are freely transferable outside

the Common Monetary Area between non-residents of the Common Monetary Area. In addition, the proceeds from the sale of
ordinary shares on the JSE on behalf of shareholders who are not residents of the Common Monetary Area are freely remittable to
such shareholders. Share certificates held by non-residents will be endorsed with the words “non-resident,” unless dematerialized.

Dividends

Dividends declared in respect of shares held by a non-resident in a company whose shares are listed on the JSE are freely

remittable.

Any cash dividends paid by us are paid in rands. Holders of ADSs on the relevant record date will be entitled to receive any

dividends payable in respect of the shares underlying the ADSs, subject to the terms of the deposit agreement entered on August 12,
1996, and as amended and restated, between the Company and The Bank of New York, as the depository. Subject to exceptions
provided in the deposit agreement, cash dividends paid in rand will be converted by the depositary to dollars and paid by the
depositary to holders of ADSs, net of conversion expenses of the depositary, in accordance with the deposit agreement. The
depositary will charge holders of ADSs, to the extent applicable, taxes and other governmental charges and specified fees and other
expenses.

Voting rights

There are no limitations imposed by South African law or by our MOI on the right of non-South African shareholders to

hold or vote our ordinary shares.

10E. TAXATION

Material South African Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of material income tax considerations under South African income tax law. No representation

with respect to the consequences to any particular purchaser of our securities is made hereby. Prospective purchasers are urged to
consult their tax advisers with respect to their particular circumstances and the effect of South African or other tax laws to which they
may be subject.

South Africa imposes tax on worldwide income of South African residents. Generally, South African non-residents do not

pay tax in South Africa except in the following circumstances:

Income Tax and withholding tax on dividends

Non-residents will pay income tax on any amounts received by or accrued to them from a source within (or deemed to be

within) South Africa. Interest earned by a non-resident on a debt instrument issued by a South African company will be regarded as
being derived from a South African source but will be regarded as exempt from taxation in terms of Section 10(1)(i) of the South
African Income Tax Act, 1962 (as amended), or the Income Tax Act. This exemption applies to so much of any interest and
dividends (which are not otherwise exempt) received from a South African source not exceeding (a) R33,000 if the taxpayer is 65
years of age or older or (b) R22,800 if the taxpayer is younger than 65 years of age at the end of the relevant tax year.

No withholding tax is deductible in respect of interest payments made to non-resident investors.

In 1993, all existing gold mining companies had the option to elect to be exempt from secondary tax on companies, or

STC. If the election was made, a higher tax rate would apply for both mining and non-mining income. With the introduction of
dividends tax at a rate of 15% which replaced STC with effect from April 1, 2012, the election on STC is not applicable anymore.
These amendments are set out in Part VIII in Chapter II of the Income Tax Act. Section 64F of the amendments, sets out beneficial
owners who are exempt from the dividend tax, which includes, resident companies receiving a dividend after the effective date, being
April 1, 2012. The Convention between the United States of America and the Republic of South Africa for the Avoidance of Double
Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income and Capital Gains, or the Tax Treaty, would limit the
rate of this tax with respect to dividends paid on ordinary shares or ADSs to a US resident (within the meaning of the Tax Treaty) to
5% of the gross amount of the dividends if such US resident is a company which holds directly at least 10% of our voting stock and
15% of the gross amount of the dividends in all other cases.

The above provisions shall not apply if the beneficial owner of the dividends is resident in the US, carries on business in

South Africa through a permanent establishment situated in South Africa, or performs in South Africa independent personal services
from a fixed base situated in South Africa, and the dividends are attributable to such permanent establishment or fixed base.

In fiscal years 2013 and 2012, the corporate tax rates for taxable mining and non-mining income were 34% and 28%,

respectively. For the fiscal year 2011 companies that elected the STC exemption were taxed at a rate of 43% and 35%,
respectively. During those same years prior to fiscal 2012 the tax rates for companies that did not elect the STC exemption for
fiscal 2011 were 34% and 28%, respectively. The Company, is subject to 34% tax on mining income and 28% for non-mining
income. For fiscal years prior to the introduction of the new dividends tax (prior to fiscal year 2011), Crown was our only
subsidiary that elected not to be exempt from STC.

No income tax over and above the dividends tax is payable on dividends paid to residents or non-residents, in terms of

Section 10(1)(k) of the Income Tax Act, except in respect of foreign dividends received by or accrued to residents of South Africa.
Accordingly, only the 15% dividends tax (or lower applicable treaty rate) is withheld on dividends received by or accrued to non-
resident shareholders of companies listed in South Africa and non-residents will receive the same dividend as South African resident
shareholders (prior to fiscal year 2012 there was no dividend tax). Prior to fiscal 2012, the Company paid STC at a rate of 10%
(before October 1, 2007 12.5%) of the excess of dividends declared over dividends received in a dividend cycle but the full amount of
the dividend declared was paid to shareholders.

Capital Gains Tax

Non-residents are generally not subject to Capital Gains Tax, or CGT, in South Africa. They will only be subject to CGT on

gains arising from the disposal of capital assets if the assets disposed of consist of:

· immovable property owned by the non-residents situated in South Africa, or any interest or right in or to immovable
property. A non-resident will have an interest in immovable property if it has a direct or indirect shareholding of at least
20% in a company, where 80% or more of the net assets of that company (determined on a market value basis) are
attributable directly or indirectly to immovable property; or
· any asset of a permanent establishment of a non-resident in South Africa through which a trade is carried on.

If the non-residents are not subject to CGT because the assets disposed of do not fall within the categories described above,

it follows that they will also not be able to claim the capital losses arising from the disposal of the assets.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of material US federal income tax consequences to US holders (as defined below) of the

purchase, ownership and disposition of ordinary shares or ADSs. It deals only with US holders who hold ordinary shares or ADSs as
capital assets for US federal income tax purposes. This discussion is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, or the Code, published rulings, judicial decisions and the Treasury regulations, all as currently in effect and all of which
are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. This discussion has no binding effect or official status of any kind; we cannot
assure holders that the conclusions reached below would be sustained by a court if challenged by the Internal Revenue Service.

This discussion does not address all aspects of US federal income taxation that may be applicable to holders in light of their

particular circumstances and does not address special classes of US holders subject to special treatment (such as dealers in securities
or currencies, partnerships or other pass-through entities, banks and other financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt
organizations, certain expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States, persons holding ordinary shares or ADSs as part
of a “hedge,” “conversion transaction,” “synthetic security,” “straddle,” “constructive sale” or other integrated investment, persons
who acquired the ordinary shares or ADSs upon the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, persons whose
functional currency is not the US dollar, or persons that actually or constructively own ten percent or more of our voting stock). This
discussion addresses only US federal income tax consequences and does not address the effect of any state, local, or foreign tax laws
that may apply, the alternative minimum tax or the application of the federal estate or gift tax.

A “US holder” is a beneficial owner of ordinary shares or ADSs that is, for US federal income tax purposes:

· a citizen or resident of the US;
· a corporation or other entity subject to tax as a corporation that is created or organized under the laws of the US or any
political subdivision thereof;
· an estate, the income of which is subject to US federal income tax without regard to its source; or
· a trust, if a court within the US is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more
US persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or if the trust has made a valid election to be
treated as a US person.

If a partnership (or an entity treated as a partnership for US federal income tax purposes) holds any ordinary shares or ADSs,

the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and on the activities of the partnership. Partners in
partnerships holding any ordinary shares or ADSs are urged to consult their tax advisors.

Because individual circumstances may differ, US holders of ordinary shares or ADSs are urged to consult their tax

advisors concerning the US federal income tax consequences applicable to their particular situations as well as any
consequences to them arising under the tax laws of any foreign, state or local taxing jurisdiction.

Ownership of Ordinary Shares or ADSs

For purposes of the Code, a US holder of ADSs will be treated for US federal income tax purposes as the owner of the

ordinary shares represented by those ADSs. Exchanges of ordinary shares for ADSs and ADSs for ordinary shares generally will not
be subject to US federal income tax.

Subject to the discussion below under the heading “Passive Foreign Investment Company”, distributions with respect to the

ordinary shares or ADSs, other than distributions in liquidation and distributions in redemption of stock that are treated as exchanges,
will be taxed to US holders as ordinary dividend income to the extent that the distributions do not exceed our current and
accumulated earnings and profits. For US federal income tax purposes, the amount of any distribution received by a US holder will
equal the dollar value of the sum of the South African rand payments made (including the amount of South African income taxes, if
any, withheld with respect to such payments), determined at the “spot rate” on the date the dividend distribution is includable in such
US holder's income, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into dollars. Generally, any gain or loss resulting from
currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date a US holder includes the dividend payment in income to the date such
holder converts the payment into dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss. Distributions, if any, in excess of our current and
accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a non-taxable return of capital and will be applied against and reduce the holder's
basis in the ordinary shares or ADSs. To the extent that these distributions exceed the US holder's tax basis in the ordinary shares or
ADSs, as applicable, the excess generally will be treated as capital gain, subject to the discussion below under the heading “Passive
Foreign Investment Company”. We do not intend to calculate our earnings or profits for US federal income tax purposes. US holders
should therefore assume that any distributions with respect to our ordinary shares or ADSs will constitute dividend income.

“Qualified dividend income” received by individual US holders (as well as certain trusts and estates) generally will be taxed

at a maximum US federal income tax rate applicable to capital gains. This reduced rate generally would apply to dividends paid by us
if, at the time such dividends are paid, either (i) we are eligible for benefits under a qualifying income tax treaty with the US or
(ii) our ordinary shares or ADSs with respect to which such dividends were paid are readily tradable on an established securities
market in the US. However, this reduced rate is subject to certain important requirements and exceptions, including, without
limitation, certain holding period requirements and an exception applicable if we are treated as a passive foreign investment company
as discussed under the heading “Passive Foreign Investment Company”. US holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding
the US federal income tax rate that will be applicable to their receipt of any dividends paid with respect to the ordinary shares and
ADSs.

For purposes of this discussion, the “spot rate” generally means a rate that reflects a fair market rate of exchange available to

the public for currency under a “spot contract” in a free market and involving representative amounts. A “spot contract” is a contract
to buy or sell a currency on or before two business days following the date of the execution of the contract. If such a spot rate cannot
be demonstrated, the US Internal Revenue Service has the authority to determine the spot rate.

Dividend income derived with respect to the ordinary shares or ADSs will not be eligible for the dividends received

deduction generally allowed to a US corporation under Section 243 of the Code. Dividend income will be treated as foreign source
income for foreign tax credit and other purposes. In computing the separate foreign tax credit limitations, dividend income should
generally constitute “passive category income,” or in the case of certain US holders, “general category income.”

Disposition of Ordinary Shares or ADSs

Subject to the discussion below under the heading “Passive Foreign Investment Company”, upon a sale, exchange, or other

taxable disposition of ordinary shares or ADSs, a US holder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between
the US dollar value of the amount realized on the sale or exchange and such holder's adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares or
ADSs. Subject to the application of the “passive foreign investment company” rules discussed below, such gain or loss generally will
be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the US holder has held the ordinary shares or ADSs for more than
one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Gain or loss recognized by a US holder on the taxable disposition
of ordinary shares or ADSs generally will be treated as US-source gain or loss for US foreign tax credit purposes.

In the case of a cash basis US holder who receives rands in connection with the taxable disposition of ordinary shares or

ADSs, the amount realized will be based on the spot rate as determined on the settlement date of such exchange. A US holder who
receives payment in rand and converts rand into US dollars at a conversion rate other than the rate in effect on the settlement date
may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as ordinary income or loss.

An accrual basis US holder may elect the same treatment required of cash basis taxpayers with respect to a taxable

disposition of ordinary shares or ADSs, provided that the election is applied consistently from year to year. Such election may not be
changed without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service. In the event that an accrual basis holder does not elect to be treated as a
cash basis taxpayer, such US holder may have a foreign currency gain or loss for US federal income tax purposes because of the
differences between the US dollar value of the currency received prevailing on the trade date and the settlement date. Any such
currency gain or loss will be treated as ordinary income or loss and would be in addition to gain or loss, if any, recognized by such
US holder on the disposition of such ordinary shares or ADSs.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

A special and adverse set of US federal income tax rules apply to a US holder that holds stock in a passive foreign

investment company, or PFIC. We would be a PFIC for US federal income tax purposes if for any taxable year either (i) 75% or more
of our gross income, including our pro rata share of the gross income of any company in which we are considered to own 25% or
more of the shares by value, were passive income or (ii) 50% or more of our average total assets (by value), including our pro rata
share of the assets of any company in which we are considered to own 25% or more of the shares by value, were assets that produced
or were held for the production of passive income. If we were a PFIC, US holders of the ordinary shares or ADSs would be subject to
special rules with respect to (i) any gain recognized upon the disposition of the ordinary shares or ADSs and (ii) any receipt of an
excess distribution (generally, any distributions to a US holder during a single taxable year that is greater than 125% of the average
amount of distributions received by such US holder during the three preceding taxable years in respect of the ordinary shares or
ADSs or, if shorter, such US holder's holding period for the ordinary shares or ADSs). Under these rules:

· the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over a US holder's holding period for the ordinary shares or ADSs, as
applicable;
· the amount allocated to the taxable year in which a US holder realizes the gain or excess distribution will be taxed as
ordinary income;
· the amount allocated to each prior year (other than a pre-PFIC year), with certain exceptions, will be taxed at the highest tax
rate in effect for that year; and
· the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each
such year (other than a pre-PFIC year).

Although we generally will be treated as a PFIC as to any US holder if we are a PFIC for any year during a US holder's

holding period, if we cease to satisfy the requirements for PFIC classification, the US holder may avoid PFIC classification for
subsequent years if such holder elects to recognize gain based on the unrealized appreciation in the ordinary shares or ADSs through
the close of the tax year in which we cease to be a PFIC.

A US holder of a PFIC are required to file an annual report with the Internal Revenue Service containing such information

as the US Secretary of Treasury may require.

A US holder of the ordinary shares or ADSs that are treated as “marketable stock” under the PFIC rules may be able to

avoid the imposition of the special tax and interest charge described above by making a mark-to-market election. Pursuant to this
election, the US holder would include in ordinary income or loss for each taxable year an amount equal to the difference as of the
close of the taxable year between the fair market value of the ordinary shares or ADSs and the US holder's adjusted tax basis in such
ordinary shares or ADSs. Losses would be allowed only to the extent of net mark-to-market gain previously included by the US
holder under the election for prior taxable years. If a mark-to-market election with respect to ordinary shares or ADSs is in effect on
the date of a US holder's death, the tax basis of the ordinary shares or ADSs in the hands of a US holder who acquired them from a
decedent will be the lesser of the decedent's tax basis or the fair market value of the ordinary shares or ADSs. US holders desiring to
make the mark-to-market election are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the application and effect of making the
election for the ordinary shares or ADSs.

In the case of a US holder who holds ordinary shares or ADSs and who does not make a mark-to-market election, the

special tax and interest charge described above will not apply if such holder makes an election to treat us as a “qualified electing
fund” in the first taxable year in which such holder owns the ordinary shares or ADSs and if we comply with certain reporting
requirements. However, we do not intend to supply US holders with the information needed to report income and gain pursuant to a
“qualified electing fund” election in the event that we are classified as a PFIC.

We believe that we were not a PFIC for our 2013 fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. However, under the PFIC rules income

and assets are require to be measured and classified in accordance with US federal income tax principles. Our analysis is based on our
financial statements as prepared in accordance with IFRS, which may substantially differ from US federal income tax principles.
Therefore, no assurance can be given that we were not a PFIC for our 2013 fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. Furthermore, the tests for
determining whether we would be a PFIC for any taxable year are applied annually and it is difficult to make accurate predictions of
future income and assets, which are relevant to this determination. In addition, certain factors in the PFIC determination, such as
reductions in the market value of our capital stock, are not within our control and can cause us to become a PFIC. Accordingly, there
can be no assurance that we will not become a PFIC.

The rules relating to PFICs are very complex. US holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of
the PFIC rules to their investments in our ordinary shares or ADSs.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments made in the United States or through certain US-related financial intermediaries of dividends or the proceeds of

the sale or other disposition of our ordinary shares or ADSs may be subject to information reporting and US federal backup
withholding if the recipient of such payment is not an “exempt recipient” and fails to supply certain identifying information, such as
an accurate taxpayer identification number, in the required manner. Generally, individuals are not exempt recipients, whereas
corporations and certain other entities generally are exempt recipients. The backup withholding tax rate is currently 28%. Payments
made with respect to our ordinary shares or ADSs to a US holder must be reported to the Internal Revenue Service, unless the US
holder is an exempt recipient or otherwise establishes an exemption. Any amount withheld from a payment to a US holder under the
backup withholding rules is refundable or allowable as a credit against the holder's US federal income tax, provided that the required
information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

Under the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act enacted on March 18, 2010, in taxable years beginning after the

date of enactment, a US holder may be required to submit to the Internal Revenue Service certain information with respect to such
US holder's beneficial ownership of ordinary shares or ADSs, if such ordinary shares or ADSs are not held on such US holder's

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

General

In the normal course of our operations, we are exposed to market risk, including commodity price, foreign currency, interest

and credit risks. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes, nor do we hedge forward gold
sales.

Refer to Item 18. ‘‘Financial Statements - Note 27 - Financial instruments’’ of the consolidated financial statements for a

qualitative and quantitative discussion of our exposure to these market risks.

Commodity price risk

The market price of gold has a significant effect on our results of operations, our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to

pay dividends and undertake capital expenditures, and the market price of our ordinary shares or ADSs. Historically, gold prices have
fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous industry factors over which we have no control. The aggregate effect of these factors
on the gold price is impossible for us to predict. The price of gold may not remain at a level allowing us to economically exploit our
reserves. It is our policy not to hedge this commodity price risk.

Concentration of credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to us if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its

contractual obligations, and arises principally from our receivables from customers and investment securities

Our financial instruments do not represent a concentration of credit risk, because we deal with a variety of major banks and

financial institutions located in South Africa after evaluating the credit ratings of the representative financial institutions.
Furthermore, our trade receivables and loans are regularly monitored and assessed for recoverability. Where it is appropriate, an
impairment loss is raised. In addition, our South African operations deliver their gold to Rand Refinery Proprietary Limited (Rand
Refinery), which refines the gold to saleable purity levels and then sells the gold, on behalf of the South African operations, on the
bullion market. The gold is sold by Rand Refinery usually on the same day as it is delivered and settlement is made within two days.

Foreign currency risk

Our reporting currency is the South African rand. Although gold is sold in US dollars, the Company is obliged to convert

this into rands. We are thus exposed to fluctuations in the US dollar/ rand exchange rate. Foreign exchange fluctuations affect the
cash flow that we will realize from our operations as gold is sold in US dollars, while production costs are incurred primarily in rands.
Our results are positively affected when the US dollar strengthens against the rand and adversely affected when the US dollar
weakens against the rand. Our cash and cash equivalent balances are held in US dollars and rands; holdings denominated in other
currencies are relatively insignificant.

Long-term debt

Set out below is an analysis of our debt as at June 30, 2013, analyzed between fixed and variable interest rates. All of our

long-term debt is denominated in South African rand.

12D. AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES

Depositary Fees and Charges

DRDGOLD’s American Depository Shares, or ADSs, each representing ten of DRDGOLD’s ordinary shares, are traded on

the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE under the symbol “DRD” (until December 29, 2011 our ADSs were traded on the Nasdaq
Capital Market under the symbol “DROOY”). The ADSs are evidenced by American Depository Receipts, or ADRs, issued by The
Bank of New York Mellon, as Depository under the Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement dated as of August 12, 1996, as
amended and restated as of October 2, 1996, as further amended and restated as of August 6, 1998, as further amended and restated
July 23, 2007, among DRDGOLD Limited, The Bank of New York Mellon and owners and beneficial owners of ADRs from time to
time. ADR holders may have to pay the following service fees to the Depositary:

Service

Fees (USD)

Issuance of ADSs, including issuances resulting from a distribution of ordinary
shares or rights ......................................................................................................

$5.00 (or less) per 100 ADSs (or

portion thereof)

Cancellation of ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal, including if the Deposit
Agreement terminates ...........................................................................................

$5.00 (or less) per 100 ADSs (or

portion thereof)

Distribution of cash dividends or other cash distributions ....................................... 2 cents (or less) per ADS (or portion

thereof)

Distribution of securities distributed to holders of deposited securities which are
distributed by the Depositary to ADS registered holders

$5.00 (or less) per 100 ADSs (or

portion thereof)

In addition, ADR holders are responsible for certain fees and expenses incurred by the Depositary on their behalf including

(1) taxes and other governmental charges, (2) such registration fees as may from time to time be in effect for the registration of
transfers of ordinary shares generally on the share register and applicable to transfers of ordinary shares to the name of the Depositary
or its nominee or the Custodian or its nominee on the making of deposits or withdrawals, (3) such cable, telex and facsimile
transmission expenses as are expressly provided in the Deposit Agreement, and (4) such expenses as are incurred by the Depositary
in the conversion of foreign currency to U.S. Dollars.

The Depositary collects its fees for delivery and surrender of ADSs directly from investors depositing or surrendering ADSs

for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The Depositary, collects fees for making distributions to
investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The
Depositary may collect its annual fee for depositary services by deductions from cash distributions or by directly billing investors or
by charging the book-entry system accounts of participants acting for them. The Depositary may generally refuse to provide fee-
attracting services until its fees for those services are paid.

Depositary Payments for Fiscal 2013

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, The Bank of New York Mellon, as Depositary, has agreed to reimburse DRDGOLD

an amount of $483,680.81 mainly for contributions towards the Company’s investor relations activities (including investor meetings,
conferences and fees of investor relations service vendors).

These fees are typically paid to the Depositary by the brokers on behalf of their clients receiving the newly-issued ADSs from the Depositary

or delivering the ADSs to the Depositary for cancellation. The brokers in turn charge these transaction fees to their clients.

In practice, the Depositary has not collected these fees. If collected, such fees are offset against the related distribution made to the ADR

holder.

PART II

ITEM 13. DEFAULTS, DIVIDEND ARREARAGES AND DELINQUENCIES

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

15A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2013, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer

has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as this term is defined under the rules of the SEC). Our
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be

disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms and that such information required to
be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosures.

There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. These limitations

include the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, any such
system can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

15B. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.

Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and
effected by our board, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Under Section 404 of the
Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, management is required to assess our internal controls surrounding the financial reporting process as
at the end of each fiscal year. Based on that assessment, management is to determine whether or not our internal controls over
financial reporting are effective.

Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

· pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of our assets;
· provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements
in accordance with IFRS, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of our management and board; and
· provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition
of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Instead, it must be noted that even those systems that management deems to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance
with respect to the preparation and presentation of our financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to
future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of
compliance with the policies and procedures.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013. In

making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment and those criteria, our
management concluded that as of June 30, 2013 our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

15C. Independent Auditor’s Attestation Report

The effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013 was audited by KPMG Inc.,

independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report on page F-1 of this Form 20-F.

15D. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial

reporting during the period covered by the annual report, need to be identified and reported as required by paragraph (d) of Rule
13a-15.

During the year ended June 30, 2013, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that

have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

Mr. R.P. Hume, Chairman of the Audit Committee, has been determined by our board to be an audit committee financial

expert within the meaning of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in accordance with the Rules of the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE,
and rules promulgated by the SEC and independent both under the New York Stock Exchange Rules and the South African
Johannesburg Stock Exchange Rules. The board is satisfied that the skills, experience and attributes of the members of the audit
committee are sufficient to enable those members to discharge the responsibilities of the audit committee.

ITEM 16B. CODE OF ETHICS

We have adopted a Code of Ethics and Conduct that applies to all senior executives including our Non-Executive

Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and the Group Financial Manager and
Financial Manager at each mining operation as well as all other employees. The Code of Ethics was last updated on February 9,
2012. The Code of Ethics and Conduct can be accessed on the Company’s website at www.drdgold.com.

ITEM 16C. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

KPMG Inc. has served as our independent public accountant for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011, for

which audited financial statements appear in this Annual Report. The Annual General Meeting elects the auditors annually.

Audit Fees

Audit fees billed for the annual audit services engagement, which are those services that the external auditor reasonably can

provide, include the company audit; statutory audits; comfort letters and consents; attest services; and assistance with and review of
documents filed with the SEC.

Audit-Related Fees

For fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, no audit-related fees were incurred.

Tax Fees

For fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, no fees have been billed for tax compliance, tax advice or tax planning services.

101

All Other Fees

All other fees consist of all fees billed which are not included under audit fees, audit related fees or tax fees. The other

fees billed in 2013 related to agreed upon procedures consisting of a gap analysis on our Integrated Report for fiscal 2013, which
is an annual report required by King III and provides an account of our operational, financial, economic, social and environmental
performance, as well our governance, and limited assurance on specified items contained in our Sustainable Development Report
for fiscal 2013, which is an annual report in line with the Global Reporting Initiative and provides an account of our economic,
social and environmental performance. There were no such fees billed for in fiscal 2012.

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for recommending the appointment, re-appointment and removal of the

external auditors as well as the remuneration and terms of engagement of the external auditors. The committee pre-approves, and
has pre-approved, all non-audit services provided by the external auditors. The Audit Committee considered all of the fees
mentioned above and determined that such fees are compatible with maintaining KPMG Inc.’s independence.

ITEM 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

As a foreign private issuer with shares listed on the NYSE, we are subject to corporate governance requirements imposed by

NYSE. Under section 303A.11 of the NYSE Listing Standards, a foreign private issuer such as us may follow its home country
corporate governance practices in lieu of certain of the NYSE Listing Standards on corporate governance. The following paragraphs
summarize the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those followed by U.S. companies listed on
the NYSE:

Independence of audit committee members

NYSE Listing Standards require a NYSE listed company to have an audit committee composed of at least three independent

members. A foreign private issuer may be exempted from the requirement that all members of the audit committee qualify as
independent under NYSE Listing Standards Rules provided, among other requirements, that the members of the audit committee are
independent under Exchange Act Rule 10A-3. As at September 30, 2013 all of our audit committee members are independent both
under the NYSE Listing Standards and the South African Johannesburg Stock Exchange Rules.

Shareholder meeting quorum requirements

Section 310.00 of the NYSE Listing Standards provides that the quorum required for any meeting of holders of common

stock should be sufficiently high to insure a representative vote. Consistent with the practice of companies incorporated in South
Africa, our Memorandum of Incorporation only requires a quorum of three members and we have elected to follow country rule.

Executive Sessions

Section 303A.03 of the NYSE Listing Standards provides that “non-management” directors of listed companies must meet

at regularly scheduled executive sessions in the absence of management. The JSE Listings Requirements makes no provision for such
meetings, however the non-executive directors of DRDGOLD do meet without management on a regular basis but in an informal
setting and no minutes are prepared.

Nominations Committee

Section 303A.04 of the NYSE Listing Standards provides listed companies must have a nominating/corporate governance

committee composed entirely of independent directors. The JSE Listings Requirements only require that the members of such a
committee be non-executive directors, the majority of whom must be independent. DRDGOLD has such a nominations committee
whose members are independent under both the NYSE Listings Standards and the JSE Listings Requirements.

Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of DRDGOLD Limited.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of DRDGOLD Limited and its subsidiaries as of
June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity,
and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2013. We also have audited DRDGOLD Limited’s
internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). DRDGOLD Limited’s management is
responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements and an opinion on DRDGOLD Limited’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our
audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as
we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to
the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only
in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material
effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
DRDGOLD Limited and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2013, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, DRDGOLD Limited maintained, in all material respects, effective
internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
f or the year ended June 30, 2013

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DRDGOLD Limited (‘the company’) is a company domiciled in South Africa. The consolidated financial statements of the
company for the year ended June 30, 2013 comprise the company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the group) and the
group’s interests in an associate and a jointly controlled entity.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and its
interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on September 16, 2013.

BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis, unless otherwise stated.

FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY

The consolidated financial statements are presented in South African Rands, which is the company's functional currency. All
financial information presented in South African Rands has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
reporting date, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The determination of estimates
requires the exercise of judgment based on various assumptions and other factors such as historical experience, current and
expected economic conditions, and in some cases actuarial techniques. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision
and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The judgments that management has applied in the application of accounting policies, and the estimates and assumptions that
have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial
year, are discussed below:

(a) Recoverable amount of mining assets and depreciation

The recoverable amounts of mining assets are generally determined utilizing discounted future cash flows. Management
also considers such factors as the market capitalization of the group, the quality of the individual ore body and the
country risk in determining the recoverable amount. During the year under review, the group calculated a recoverable
amount based on updated life-of-mine plans, a gold price of R410,473 per kilogram (2012: 441,936 per kilogram) in
year one escalating at an average of 6.7% (2012: 5.3%) per year, and a discount rate of 14.9% (2012: 14.4%). At a
10% lower gold price received of R369,425 per kilogram, a R1,097.4 million impairment would be recognized and at a
1.9 percentage points (13%) increase in the discount rate to 16.8%, the group would begin impairment of the mining
assets (refer to note 9).

The calculation of the units-of-production rate of depreciation could be affected if actual production in the future is
different from current forecast production based on proved and probable Ore Reserves. This would generally arise when
there are significant changes in any of the factors or assumptions used in estimating Ore Reserves. Factors could
include:

· changes in proved and probable Ore Reserves;
· the grade of Ore Reserves may vary significantly from time to time;
· differences between actual commodity prices and commodity price assumptions;
· unforeseen operational issues at mine sites;
· changes in capital, operating, mining processing and reclamation costs, discount rates and foreign exchange rates;
and
· changes in Ore Reserves which could similarly affect the useful lives of assets depreciated on the straight-line basis,
where those lives are limited to the life of the mine.

USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (continued)

(b) Valuation of financial instruments

If the value of a financial instrument cannot be obtained from an active market, the group has established fair value by
using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s-length transactions, reference to other instruments that
are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models, refined to reflect the issuer’s
specific circumstances.

(c) Estimate of exposure and liabilities with regard to rehabilitation costs

Estimated provisions for environmental rehabilitation, comprising pollution control rehabilitation and mine closure, are
based on the group’s environmental management plans in compliance with current technological, environmental and
regulatory requirements. An average discount rate of 7.6%, average inflation rate of 5.4% and expected life of mine
according to the life-of-mine plans were utilized in the calculation of the estimated net present value of the rehabilitation
liability (2012: discount rate of 7.3% and inflation rate of 5.4%) (refer note 17).

(d) Estimate of taxation

The group is subject to income tax in South Africa and Zimbabwe. Significant judgment is required in determining
income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during
the ordinary course of business. The group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax issues based on estimates of whether
additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were
initially recorded, such differences will have an impact on the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in
which such determination is made.

(e) Fair value of share-based compensation

The fair value of options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The significant inputs into
the model are: vesting period and conditions, risk-free interest rate, volatility, market price on date of grant and issue
price of grant. Other inputs are: performance criteria and employee retention rate (Refer to notes 18 for detail on the
share option scheme and phantom share scheme.)

(f) Gold in process

Gold in process in certain plants is estimated based on the metallurgist’s best estimate of the gold content and grade
thereof.

(g) Assessment of contingencies

Contingencies will realize only when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The exercise of significant
judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events are required during the assessment of the impact of such
contingencies.

(h) Ore Reserves estimate

At the end of each financial year, the estimate of proved and probable Ore Reserves is updated. Depreciation of mining
assets is prospectively adjusted, based on these changes.

Ore Reserves are estimates of the amount of product that can be economically and legally extracted from the group’s
properties. In order to calculate Ore Reserves, estimates and assumptions are required about a range of geological,
technical and economic factors, including but not limited to quantities, grades, production techniques, recovery rates,
production costs, transport costs, commodity demand, commodity prices and exchange rates.

f or the year ended June 30, 2013

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued )

USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (continued)

(h) Ore Reserves estimate (continued)

Estimating the quantity and/or grade of Ore Reserves requires the size, shape and depth of ore bodies to be determined
by analyzing geological data such as the logging and assaying of drill samples. This process may require complex and
difficult geological judgments and calculations to interpret the data.

Because the economic assumptions used to estimate Ore Reserves change from period to period and because additional
geological data is generated during the course of operations, estimates of Ore Reserves may change from period to
period. Changes in reported Ore Reserves may affect the group’s financial results and financial position in a number of
ways including the following:

· asset carrying values may be affected due to changes in estimated future cash flows;
· depreciation, depletion and amortization charged in profit or loss may change where such charges are determined
by the units-of-production method, or where the useful economic lives of assets change;
· decommissioning, site restoration and environmental provisions may change where changes in estimated Ore
Reserves affect expectations about the timing or cost of these activities; and
· the carrying value of deferred tax assets may change due to changes in estimates of the likely recovery of the tax
benefits.

These adjustments are made prospectively where relevant.

(i) Estimate of deferred taxation

The amount recognized as a deferred tax asset is generally determined utilizing discounted future cash flows aligned to
estimates used in the calculation of depreciation and rehabilitation liabilities. Management considers all factors that
could possibly affect the probability that future taxable profit will be available against which unused tax credits can be
utilized. These factors include profitability of operations and an estimate of the gold price. The amount recognized as a
deferred tax asset is sensitive to the current gold spot price. The amount recognized at June 30, 2013 is based on a future
gold price received of R410,473 per kilogram (2012: R441,936 per kilogram) in year one, escalating at an average of
6.7% (2012: 5.3%) per year.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently by all entities in the group to all periods presented, except as
explained below under ‘New standards, interpretations and amendments to standards and interpretations adopted’.

New standards, interpretations and amendments to standards and interpretations adopted

The group adopted the following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations, which are applicable to the group:

IAS 1 amendments – Presentation of Item of Other Comprehensive Income
The amendments:

· require that an entity presents separately the items of other comprehensive income that would be reclassified to profit or
loss in the future if certain conditions are met, from those that would never be classified to profit or loss; and
· change the title of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income to the statement of profit or loss and
other comprehensive income. An entity, however, is still allowed to use other titles.

The amendments do not address which items are presented in other comprehensive income or which items need to be reclassified.
The requirements of other IFRSs continue to apply in this regard.

These amendments did not have any effect on the financial position or financial performance of the group.

Certain new accounting standards and amendments to accounting standards have been published that have various effective dates.
These new standards and amendments to accounting standards have not been early adopted by the group and a reliable estimate of
the impact of the adoption thereof for the group cannot yet be determined for some standards.

At the date of authorization of these financial statements, the following relevant standards and amendments to accounting

(1) The impact of this is under investigation.
(2) The group’s accounting policy is to recognize actuarial gains/losses in profit or loss. When the amendments come into effect the

accounting policy will have to be changed to recognize the actuarial gains/losses in other comprehensive income. The impact of the
other amendments has not been assessed.

Each of these standards and interpretations is described briefly below:

IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement
IFRS 13 replaces the fair value measurement guidance contained in individual IFRSs with a single source of fair value
measurement guidance. It defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and sets out disclosure
requirements for fair value measurements. It explains how to measure fair value when it is required or permitted by other IFRSs.
It does not introduce new requirements to measure assets or liabilities at fair value, nor does it eliminate the applicability of
exceptions to fair value measurements that currently exist in certain standards.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
f or the year ended June 30, 2013

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued )

IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements, IFRS 12 - Disclosures of Interests in Other
Entities
IFRS 10 introduces a single control model to determine whether an investee should be consolidated. As a result the group may
need to change its consolidation conclusion in respect of its investees, which may lead to changes in the current accounting for
these investees.

Under IFRS 11, the structure of the joint arrangement, although still an important consideration, is no longer the major factor in
determining the type of joint arrangement and therefore the subsequent accounting.

· The group’s interest in a joint operation, which is an arrangement in which the parties have rights to the assets and
obligations for the liabilities, will be accounted for on the basis of the group’s interest in those assets and liabilities.
· The group’s interest in a joint venture which is an arrangement in which the parties have rights to the net assets, will be
equity accounted.

The group may need to reclassify its joint arrangements, which may lead to changes in the current accounting for these interests.

IFRS 12 brings together in a single standard all the disclosure requirements about an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint
arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. The group is currently assessing the disclosure requirements for
interests in subsidiaries, interests in joint arrangements and associates and unconsolidated structured entities in comparison with
the existing disclosures. IFRS 12 requires the disclosure of information about the nature, risks and financial effects of these
interests.

IAS 19 amended 2011 – Employee Benefits
The amended IAS 19 includes the following requirements:

· actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income; this change will remove the
corridor method and eliminate the ability for entities to recognize all changes in the defined benefit obligation and in
plan assets in profit or loss, which currently is allowed under IAS 19; and
· expected return on plan assets recognized in profit or loss is calculated based on the rate used to discount the defined
benefit obligation.

IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
IAS 28 (2011) supersedes IAS 28 (2008) and makes the following amendments:

· IFRS 5 applies to an investment, or a portion of an investment, in an associate or a joint venture that meets the criteria to
be classified as held-for-sale; and
· on cessation of significant influence or joint control, even if an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a
joint venture or vice versa, the entity does not remeasure the retained interest.

Amendments to IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The amendments contain new disclosure requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities that are offset in the statement
of financial position, or are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements. Where the group applies
offsetting in the financial statements, it will be required to provide additional disclosures in this regard.

IFRIC 20 – Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine
The interpretation sets out principles for the recognition of production stripping costs in the statement of financial position. It is
recognized that some production stripping in surface mining activity will benefit production in future periods and sets out criteria
for capitalizing such costs.

IAS 32 – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The amended IAS 32 requires disclosure of the actual and potential effects of netting arrangements on the entity’s financial
positioning, clarifies current offsetting criteria and addresses inconsistencies in their application.

IAS 36 amendment - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets

every cash-generating unit to which significant goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets have been allocated. Under the
amendments, the recoverable amount is required to be disclosed only when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed.

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments
IFRS 9 deals with classification and measurement of financial assets and will replace the relevant sections of IAS 39.

Classification
The standard requires that financial assets be classified as either measured at:

· amortised cost; or
· fair value.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if:

· the objective of the business model is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
· the contractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the
principal outstanding.

All other financial assets are measured at fair value, with fair value changes recognized in profit or loss. The standard eliminates
the existing IAS 39 categories of held-to-maturity, available-for-sale and loans and receivables. Classification takes place on
initial recognition and subsequent changes are expected to be rare and subject to certain conditions. Embedded derivatives are no
longer separated from hybrid contracts that have a financial asset host. Instead, the entire hybrid contract is assessed for
classification using the principles above. IAS 39 continues to apply to derivatives embedded in financial liabilities.

Fair value options
An entity may designate a financial instrument on initial recognition as measured at fair value through profit or loss only if it
eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (accounting mismatch).

Investments in equity instruments
Investments in equity instruments are generally measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized in profit or loss. For an
investment in an equity instrument that is not held-for-trading, an entity may on initial recognition elect to present all fair value
changes from the investment in other comprehensive income (OCI). No amount recognized in OCI is ever reclassified to profit or
loss at a later date. Dividends on such investments are recognized in profit or loss, rather than OCI, in accordance with
IAS 18 Revenue unless they clearly represent a recovery of the cost of the investment.

IFRS 9 eliminates the exception in IAS 39 that allows investments in unquoted equity instruments, and related derivatives, for
which a fair value cannot be determined reliably, to be measured at cost. These instruments are now measured at fair value
although the standard notes that in some limited circumstances cost may be an appropriate estimate of fair value. The guidance in
IAS 39 on impairments of financial assets and on hedge accounting continues to apply. However, as a result of the simplified
classification requirements, the numerous impairment methods in IAS 39 have been reduced to a single impairment method.

Financial liabilities
Under IFRS 9, the classification and measurement requirements of financial liabilities are the same as per IAS 39, except for the
following two aspects:

· fair value changes for financial liabilities (other than financial guarantees and loan commitments) designated at fair
value through profit or loss, that are attributable to the changes in the credit risk of the liability, will be presented in
OCI. The remaining amount of the fair value change is recognized in profit or loss. However, if this
requirement creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, then the whole fair value change is
presented in profit or loss. The determination as to whether such presentation would create or enlarge an accounting
mismatch is made on initial recognition and is not subsequently reassessed.
· Under IFRS 9 derivative liabilities that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of an unquoted equity instrument
whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, are measured at fair value.

IFRS 9 incorporates the guidance in IAS 39 dealing with fair value measurement and accounting for derivatives embedded in a
host contract that is not a financial asset, as well as the requirements of IFRIC 9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the group. Control exists when the group has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the
financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights
that are currently exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the
consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

Changes in the group’s interest in a subsidiary which do not lead to loss of control are recorded as a transaction with equity
owners in their capacity as equity owners and no profit or loss is recognized. Subsequent changes to an exercise price of an option
or forward price forming part of the aforementioned transaction is recognized in profit or loss. When control is lost, the gain or
loss is recognized in profit or loss and any remaining interest is recorded at the fair value on the transaction date, which is deemed
to be the cost price, and, depending on the nature of the remaining investment, is either recognized as an associate, joint venture
or as a financial instrument.

Subsidiaries with a year-end on a date other than June 30 are included in the consolidated financial statements using the most
recent financial results with no more than a three-month difference if it is impracticable to prepare financial statements at the
group reporting date. Adjustments are made for material transactions and events between the group and subsidiary in the
intervening period.

The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed, where necessary, to align them with the policies adopted by the group.

Special purpose entities

The group has established a special purpose entity for investment purposes. A special purpose entity is consolidated if, based on
evaluation of the substance of its relationship with the group and the special purpose entity’s risks and rewards, the group
concludes that it controls the special purpose entity. The special purpose entity controlled by the group was established under
terms that impose strict limitations on the decision-making powers of the special purpose entity’s management and that result in
the group receiving the majority of the benefits related to the special purpose entity’s operations and net assets, being exposed to
the majority of risks incident to the special purpose entity’s activities, and retaining the majority of the residual or ownership
risks relating to the special purpose entity or its assets.

Associates

Associates are those entities in which the group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating
policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another
entity. Associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost. The group's investment in
associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition and is presented net of any accumulated impairment losses. The
consolidated financial statements include the group's share of the total recognized income and expenses and equity movements of
associates, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the group, from the date that significant influence
commences until the date that significant influence ceases.

When the group's share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the group's carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition
of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made
payments on behalf of an associate.

Joint ventures

Jointly controlled entities are those entities for which the group has joint control over their activities. They are established by
contractual agreement and require unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions. The consolidated financial
statements include the group’s proportionate share of the entities’ assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, with items of a similar
nature on a line-by-line basis, from the date that joint control commences until the date that joint control ceases.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances, transactions and any unrealized gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intra-group
transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with
associates and jointly controlled entities are eliminated to the extent of the group's interest in the entity. Unrealized losses are
eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Acquisitions from entities under common control

Business combinations arising from transfers of interests in entities that are under the control of the shareholder which controls
the group is accounted for as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the earliest comparative year presented or, if
later, at the date that common control was established. For this purpose comparatives are restated. The assets and liabilities
acquired are recognized at the carrying amounts recognized previously in the group controlling shareholder’s consolidated
financial statements. Any excess (shortfall) of the purchase consideration over the net asset value acquired is recognized in equity
as a notional distribution to (contribution by) owners.

Allocation of losses to non-controlling interests

In the absence of an agreement with non-controlling interest shareholders’ applicable losses in subsidiaries are allocated to non-
controlling interest even if doing so causes the non-controlling interest to have a deficit balance.

FOREIGN CURRENCY

Functional currency

The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. This is determined by
all companies in the group after analyzing all sources and influences of various currencies on their respective financial position
and performance, in order to establish the currency with the most dominant influence as its functional currency.

Each entity in the group has determined its own functional currency in accordance with the above process. The functional
currency of the company is the South African Rand.

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies undertaken by group entities are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of
these transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the
functional currency at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms
of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, measured at fair value, are translated at foreign exchange rates ruling at the date
that the fair value was determined. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognized in profit or loss.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated
into South African Rands at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign
operations are translated to South African Rands at rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the
transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising on retranslation are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented
within equity in the foreign exchange translation reserve. When a foreign operation is disposed of the relevant amount in the
foreign exchange translation reserve is transferred to profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal. On partial disposal of a
subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the relevant portion of such cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling
interest.

Net investment in foreign operations

Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement
of which is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign
operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented within equity in the foreign exchange translation
reserve in the consolidated financial statements.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments recognized in the statement of financial position include investments, available-for-sale financial
instruments, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, long- and short-term interest-bearing borrowings, trade and
other payables and bank overdrafts. Financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value and include any directly
attributable transaction costs, except those financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequent to initial
recognition, financial instruments are measured as described below.

Financial assets and liabilities are off-set and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only
when, the group or company has the legal right to off-set the amounts, and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the
assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or to the extent that
the group or company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. Financial liabilities are
derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or has expired. Any gain or loss on
derecognition is taken to profit or loss.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables (which include trade and other receivables) are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest
method, less any impairment losses.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits, and highly liquid investments which are readily convertible
to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Subsequent to initial recognition, cash and cash
equivalents are measured at amortized cost, which is equivalent to their fair value. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand
and form an integral part of the group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the
purpose of the statement of cash flows. Cash and cash equivalents include restricted cash which are short term in nature.
Restricted cash which is long term in nature is classified as non-current and is similar in nature to rehabilitation trust funds.
Restricted cash would typically be long term in nature when it is expected not to be able to be utilized for at least 12 months after
the reporting date.

Available-for-sale financial assets

The group's investments in equity securities and certain debt securities are classified as available-for-sale financial assets.
Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses and foreign
exchange gains and losses on available-for-sale monetary items, are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented
within equity in the revaluation and other reserves. When an investment is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss in other
comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss.

Other liabilities

Interest-bearing borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings (including preference share liabilities) are subsequently measured at amortized cost with any
difference between the initial amount and the redemption value being recognized in profit or loss over the period of the
borrowings on an effective interest basis. If the group revises its estimates of payments, the carrying amount of the liability is
adjusted to reflect actual and revised estimated cash flows. The carrying amount is recalculated by computing the current value of
estimated future cash flows at the liability's original effective interest rate. The adjustment is recognized as income or expense in
profit or loss.

Trade and other payables
Subsequent to initial recognition, trade and other payables are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Owned assets

The group's property, plant and equipment consist mainly of mining assets which comprise mining properties (including mineral
rights), mine development, mine plant facilities, exploration assets and equipment and vehicles.

Development costs, which are capitalized, consist primarily of expenditure that gives access to proved and probable Ore
Reserves. Capitalized development costs include expenditure incurred to develop new ore bodies, to define future mineralization
in existing ore bodies and to expand the capacity of a mine. Mine development costs to maintain production are expensed as
incurred. Where funds have been borrowed specifically to finance a project, the amount of interest capitalized represents the
actual borrowing costs incurred (refer to accounting policy on borrowing costs capitalized). Mine development costs capitalized
include acquired proved and probable Ore Reserves at the acquisition date.

Exploration and evaluation costs, including the costs of acquiring licenses, property and qualifying borrowing costs, are
capitalized as exploration assets on a project-by-project basis, pending determination of the technical feasibility and commercial
viability of the project. The capitalized costs are presented as tangible assets according to the nature of the assets acquired. When
a license is relinquished or a project is abandoned, the related costs are recognized in profit or loss immediately. Pre-license costs
are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes
the cost of materials and direct labor, any other costs directly attributable to bringing an asset to a working condition for its
intended use, as well as the costs of dismantling and removing an asset and restoring the site on which it is located.

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment, with costs that are significant in relation to the total cost of the item,
have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the net proceeds from
disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and are recognized in profit or loss. When assets are sold
which have been revalued on acquisition for consolidation purposes, the amounts included in the revaluation reserve are
transferred to retained earnings (refer note 16).

Leased assets

Leases in terms of which the group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases.
Upon initial recognition, the leased asset and liability are measured at amounts equal to the lower of the fair value of the leased
asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in the
same manner as owned property, plant and equipment.

Subsequent costs

The group recognizes in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment, the cost of replacing part of an item
when that cost is incurred, if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the group and
the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other costs are
recognized in profit or loss as an expense as incurred.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued)

Depreciation

Depreciation of mining properties (including mineral rights), mine development and mine plant facilities relating to underground
operations are computed using the units-of-production method based on estimated proved and probable Ore Reserves, which are
calculated using the group’s life-of-mine business plans and a gold price at the end of each financial year. Proved and probable
Ore Reserves reflect estimated quantities of economically recoverable reserves which can be recovered in the future from known
mineral deposits. Exploration assets that are available for use are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Changes in
management’s estimates of the quantities of the economically recoverable reserves impact depreciation on a prospective basis.
The prevailing market price of gold at the end of the financial year was R328,155, R408,381 and R378,158 per kilogram for the
fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Other assets are depreciated using the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant
and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their estimated useful lives, unless it is
reasonably certain that the group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated.

The current estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are:

•

mining properties – life of mine for each operation, currently between 8 (2012: 3 and 2011: 7) and 10 (2012: 11 and
2011: 30) years;

•

mine development – life of mine for each operation, currently between 8 (2012: 3 and 2011: 7) and 10 (2012: 11
and 2011: 30) years;

•

mine plant facilities – life of mine for each operation, currently between 1.5 (2012: 3 and 2011: 7) and 10 (2012: 11
and 2011: 30) years; and

•

equipment and vehicles – 3 to 5 years.

The residual values, estimated useful lives and depreciation methods are reassessed annually and adjusted if appropriate.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Acquisitions and goodwill arising thereon

The group measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred, including the recognized amount of any non-
controlling interest in the acquiree, less the net recognized amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed, all measured as of the acquisition date. In the case of a bargain purchase, the resulting gain is recognized in
profit or loss on the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to equity-accounted investments is included within the carrying value of
the investment and tested for impairment when indicators exist.

When the company already has control, acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with equity
holders in their capacity as equity holders and therefore no goodwill is recognized as a result of such transactions.

Goodwill relating to subsidiaries is tested annually for impairment and measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is
allocated to cash-generating units for the purposes of impairment testing.

IMPAIRMENT

Financial assets

A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence (e.g. delinquency of a
debtor and indications that a debtor will enter bankruptcy) that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if
objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying
amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate, that is, the
effective interest rate computed at initial recognition of these financial assets.

F-19

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

IMPAIRMENT (continued)

Available-for-sale financial assets

An impairment loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset is calculated by reference to its fair value. When a decline in
the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognized directly in other comprehensive income, and there is
objective evidence (e.g. significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below the cost of the investment) that the asset is
impaired, the cumulative loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss even though
the financial asset has not been derecognized. The amount of the cumulative loss that is recognized in profit or loss is the
difference between the acquisition cost and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously
recognized in profit or loss. Financial assets that are individually significant are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The
remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics. All impairment losses
are recognized in profit or loss.

An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was
recognized. For financial assets measured at amortized cost and available-for-sale financial assets that are debt securities, the
reversal is recognized in profit or loss. For available-for-sale financial assets that are equity securities, the reversal is recognized
in other comprehensive income.

Non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the group's assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to
determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Future cash flows are estimated
based on quantities of recoverable minerals, expected gold prices, production levels and cash operating costs of production, all
based on life of mine business plans. The term "recoverable minerals" means proved and probable Ore Reserves which are
calculated using our life of mine business plans and a gold price at the end of each financial year. The prevailing market price of
gold at the end of the financial year was R328,155, R408,381 and R378,158 per kilogram for the fiscal years ended June 30,
2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. For purposes of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of
assets which generates cash flows from continuing use that is largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of
assets (‘cash-generating units’).

An impairment loss is recognized directly against the carrying amount of the asset whenever the carrying amount of an asset, or
its cash-generating unit, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses
recognized in respect of cash-generating units are allocated to the carrying amounts of the assets in the unit (group of units) on a
pro rata basis. Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss
has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the
recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the
carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Exploration assets

Exploration assets are assessed for impairment if facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount exceeds the
recoverable amount. For purposes of impairment testing, exploration assets are allocated to cash-generating units consistent with
the determination of reportable segments. The technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a Mineral Resource is
considered to be determinable when proven Ore Reserves are determined to exist. Upon the determination of proven Ore
Reserves, exploration assets attributable to those Reserves are first tested for impairment and then reclassified from exploration
assets to a separate category within tangible assets. Expenditure deemed to be unsuccessful is recognized in profit or loss
immediately.

INVENTORIES

Gold in process is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Costs are assigned to gold in process on a weighted average
cost basis. Costs comprise all costs incurred to the stage immediately prior to smelting, including costs of extraction and
processing as they are reliably measurable at that point. Selling, refining and general administration costs are excluded from
inventory valuation.

INVENTORIES (continued)

Consumable stores are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of consumables is based on the weighted average
cost principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring inventories and bringing them to their existing location and
condition.

Bullion is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and selling expenses.

TAXATION

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it
relates to a business combination, or to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.

Current taxation

Current taxation is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted, or substantively enacted,
at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred taxation

Deferred taxation is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts recognized for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following
temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that
affects neither accounting nor taxable profit; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities
to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for
taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are
expected to be applied to the temporary differences, based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying
amount of assets and liabilities, and based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, if these
relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity or on different tax entities; if the company
intends to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis; or if their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which
the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that
it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends, such as secondary tax on companies (STC), are recognized
at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividend is recognized. STC has been replaced by dividends tax with effect
from April 1, 2012. Dividends tax transfers the liability for taxes on the distribution of dividends on the beneficial owner of the
shares. The company or authorized intermediary is required to withhold the tax and pay it over to the South African Receiver of
Revenue.

SHARE CAPITAL

Ordinary share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognized as a
deduction from equity, net of any tax effect.

Preference share capital

Preference share capital is classified as equity if it is non-redeemable, or redeemable only at the company's option, and any
dividends are discretionary. Dividends on preference share capital classified as equity are recognized as distributions within
equity. Preference share capital is classified as a liability if it is redeemable on a specified date or at the option of the
shareholders, or if dividend payments are not discretionary. Dividends thereon are recognized as interest expense in profit or loss
as accrued.

Dividends

Dividends are recognized as a liability in the period in which they are declared.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Defined contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate
entity and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Pension plans, which are multi-employer plans in the
nature of defined contribution plans, are funded through monthly contributions to these defined contribution plans. Obligations
for contributions are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss as incurred.

Long-service benefits

The group makes long-service bonus payments (long-service awards) for certain eligible employees, under the Chamber of Mines
of South Africa Long Service Award Scheme. The amount of the award is based on both the employee's skill level and years of
service with gold mining companies that qualify for the scheme. The obligation is accrued over the service life of the employees
and is calculated using a projected unit credit method. Any actuarial gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss in the period in
which they arise.

Post-retirement medical benefits

Post-retirement medical benefits in respect of qualifying employees are recognized as an expense over the expected remaining
service lives of relevant employees and the remaining life expectancies of retirees. The group has an obligation to provide
medical benefits to certain of its pensioners and dependants of ex-employees. These liabilities are provided in full, calculated on
an actuarial basis and discounted using the projected unit credit method. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on
corporate bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the group's obligations and that are denominated in the same
currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid. Periodic valuation (currently every three years) of these obligations is
carried out by independent actuaries using appropriate mortality tables, long-term estimates of increases in medical costs and
appropriate discount rates. The fair value of any plan assets is deducted. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in
profit or loss. When the calculation results in a benefit to the group, the recognized asset is limited to the net total of any
unrecognized past service costs and the present value of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to
the plan.

When the benefits of a plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognized
in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. To the extent that the benefits
vest immediately, the expense is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when the group is demonstrably committed, without realistic possibility of
withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination
benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are
recognized as an expense if the group has made an offer for voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted,
and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. If benefits are payable more than 12 months after the reporting period,
they are discounted to their present value.

Share-based payment transactions

Equity settled share based payment awards
The group grants share options to certain employees under an employee share plan to acquire shares of the company. The fair
value of options granted is recognized as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is
measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options.
The fair value of the options granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, taking into account the terms and
conditions upon which the options were granted. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of
share options that vest, except where forfeiture is only due to market conditions such as share prices not achieving the threshold
for vesting.

Cash settled share based payment awards
The fair value of the amount payable to employees in respect of share appreciation rights, which are settled in cash, is recognized
as an expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to
payment. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at settlement date based on the fair value of the share appreciation
rights. Any changes in the liability are recognized as employee benefit expenses in profit or loss. The fair value of the options
granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at each reporting date.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

PROVISIONS

A provision is recognized in the statement of financial position when the group has present legal or constructive obligations
resulting from past events that can be estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

Decommissioning liabilities

The provision for decommissioning represents the cost that will arise from rectifying damage caused before production
commenced. Accordingly, an asset is recognized and included within mining properties. Decommissioning liabilities are
measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to settle the obligation, using estimated cash flows based on current
prices. The unwinding of the decommissioning obligation is included in profit or loss. Estimated future costs of decommissioning
obligations are reviewed regularly and adjusted as appropriate for new circumstances or changes in law or technology. Changes in
estimates are capitalized or reversed against the relevant asset. Gains or losses from the expected disposal of assets are not taken
into account when determining the provision.

Restoration liabilities

The provision for restoration represents the cost of restoring site damage after the start of production. Increases in the provision
are recognized in profit or loss as a cost of production. Gross restoration liabilities are estimated at the present value of the
expenditures expected to settle the obligation.

Rehabilitation trust funds

Annual contributions are made to dedicated rehabilitation trust funds to cover the estimated cost of rehabilitation during and at the
end of the life of the relevant mine. These contributions are recognized as a right to receive reimbursement from the fund and
measured at the lower of the amount of the decommissioning obligation recognized and the fair value of the fund assets. Changes
in the carrying value of the fund assets, other than contributions to and payments from the fund, are recognized in profit or loss.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Gold bullion and by-products

The group recognizes revenue from the sale of gold bullion and by-products is measured at the fair value of the consideration
received or receivable. Revenue is recognized in profit or loss when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been
transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs can be estimated reliably, there is no
continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

Government grants

Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the conditions attaching
to them and the grant will be received. Grants that compensate the group for expenses incurred are recognized in profit or loss as
a deduction against the related expense.

Finance income

Finance income includes dividends received, interest received, growth in the environmental rehabilitation trust funds, net gains on
financial instruments measured at amortized cost, net foreign exchange gains, and other profits and losses arising on disposal of
investments.

Dividends are recognized when the group's right to receive payment is established. Interest is recognized on a time proportion
basis taking account of the principal outstanding and the effective rate to maturity on the accrual basis.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

EXPENSES

Operating lease payments

Payments made under operating leases are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Finance lease payments

Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance
charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining
balance of the liability.

Finance expenses

Finance expenses comprise interest payable on borrowings calculated using the effective interest method, unwinding of the
discount of the provision for environmental rehabilitation, net foreign exchange losses, net losses on financial instruments
measured at amortized cost, and interest on finance leases.

Borrowing costs capitalized

Interest on borrowings relating to the financing of qualifying major capital projects under construction is capitalized during the
construction phase as part of the cost of the project. Such borrowing costs are capitalized over the period during which the asset is
being acquired or constructed and borrowings have been incurred. Capitalization ceases when construction is interrupted for an
extended period or when the asset is substantially complete. Other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

SEGMENT REPORTING

Operating segments are identified on the basis of internal reports that the group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM)
reviews regularly in allocating resources to segments and in assessing their performance. The CODM for the group has been
identified as the group’s Executive Committee. Reportable segments are identified based on quantitative thresholds of revenue,
profit or loss, and assets. The amounts disclosed for each reportable segment are the measures reported to the CODM, which are
not necessarily based on the same accounting policies as the amounts recognized in the financial statements. Aggregation of
operating segments is implemented where disclosure of information enables users of the group’s financial statements to evaluate
the nature and effects of the business activities in which it engages and the economic environment in which it operates, where the
operating segments have characteristics so similar that they can be expected to have essentially the same future prospects and
where they are similar in the following respects:

· the nature of products and services;
· the nature of the production process;
· the type or class of customer for their products and services;
· the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and
· if applicable, the nature of the regulatory environment.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
for the year ended June 30, 2013

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

A held-for-sale asset is classified as such if it is a non-current asset, or disposal group comprising assets and liabilities, that is
expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use. Immediately before classification as held-for-
sale, the assets (or components of a disposal group) are remeasured in accordance with the group's accounting policies.
Thereafter, the non-current assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Impairment losses on initial classification as held-for-sale are included in profit or loss. The same applies to gains and losses on
subsequent measurement. Gains are not recognized in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.

A discontinued operation in the group is a component of the group's business that represents a separate major line of business, a
geographical area of operations which has been disposed of or is held-for-sale, or a subsidiary acquired exclusively for resale.
When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income is restated as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period.

EARNINGS OR LOSS PER SHARE

The group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings or loss per share is calculated
based on the net profit or loss after taxation for the year attributable to ordinary shareholders of the company, divided by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year. Diluted earnings or loss per share is presented when the
inclusion of ordinary shares that may be issued in the future, which comprise share options granted to employees, has a dilutive
effect on earnings or loss per share.

2. OPERATING SEGMENTS

The following summary describes the operations in each of the group’s reportable operating segments:

· Ergo: is a surface retreatment operation and treats old slime and sand dumps to the south of Johannesburg’s central
business district as well as the east and central Rand goldfields. The operation consists of four plants: Brakpan, Crown
(now decommissioned), City and Knights. Ergo is evaluating the viability of processing surface uranium-and sulphur-
bearing tailings on the east and central Rand goldfields of South Africa.
· Blyvoor: incorporates the Doornfontein mine, situated on the north-western edge of the Witwatersrand basin. The mine
has underground and surface operations. Blyvoor was disposed of during the year ended June 30, 2012 and the segment
therefore reflect the results of Blyvoor until the effective date of June 1, 2012 (refer to note 11).

The reportable segments, as described above, are the group’s strategic divisions. The strategic divisions reflect different
operational locations reported on separately to the executive committee (CODM). The group’s revenue stream consists of the sale
of gold bullion.

During the year ended June 30, 2013, the group recorded an impairment of R110.2 million against property, plant and equipment
at a specific asset level. R61.1 million was recorded against the Ergo operating segment based on the recoverable amount (value
in use) of these assets being lower than their carrying amount. The impairment was due to the reassessment of the viability of
these assets and projects (R40.1 million for surface dumps, R12.4 million for plant equipment and R8.6 million against shaft and
infrastructure). R49.1 million was recorded against Chizim Gold (Pvt) Limited (Chizim Gold) which are included in Corporate
head office and all other. The impairment was determined based on the recoverable amount (fair value less cost to sell) being
lower than the carrying value of the exploration assets and was due to a decision by management to sell the Zimbabwean
investment. The group recorded an impairment of R101.3 million against available-for-sale financial assets based on the
recoverable amount (fair value less cost to sell) of the financial asset being significantly lower than its original cost price for a
prolonged period. This relates to the company's investment in Village Main Reef Limited (Village). The group derecognized the
DRDGOLD rehabilitation trust fund of R25.6 million due to the relinquishment of the fund to the buyer of the relating mining
rights over the Durban Roodepoort Deep mine area.

During the year ended June 30, 2012, the group derecognized R1.1 million (2011: R1.1 million) against West Witwatersrand
Gold Mines Proprietary Limited’s rehabilitation trust fund due to the relinquishment of the fund to the buyer of the relating
mining rights over the West Wits mining lease area.

During the year ended June 30, 2011, the group recorded an impairment of R546.6 million against Blyvoor’s property, plant and
equipment (recoverable amount determined based on value in use) due to the uncertainties pertaining to Blyvoor’s distressed
financial position as at June 30, 2011. Blyvoor represents one cash generating unit. A discount rate of 14.4%, together with
further risk adjustments to future cash flows were used in determining the impairment. Management also took into consideration
as part of their reasonableness assessment, a sensitivity analysis and the fact that Blyvoor was under business rescue proceedings,
with the business rescue plan not being approved as at June 30, 2011. Further considerations included the fact that the group’s
market capitalization in comparison to the group’s net asset value as at June 30, 2011.

(8,010) (32,152)

In South Africa, mining tax on mining income is determined based on a formula which takes into account the profit and revenue
from a gold mining company during the year. Non-mining income, which consists primarily of interest, is taxed at a standard rate
of 28% (2012: 28% and 2011: 28%).

The tax rates applicable to mining and non-mining income of a gold mining company previously depended on whether the
company elected to be exempt from Secondary Tax on Companies (STC). STC was a tax on dividends declared, which was
payable by the company declaring the dividend of which the STC tax rate was equal to 10% (2012: 10% and 2011: 10%) of
the amount of income declared as a dividend. In 1993, all existing gold mining companies had the option to elect to be exempt
from STC. If the election was made, a higher tax rate would apply to both mining and non-mining income. With the exception of
Crown, all of the South African subsidiaries elected not to be exempt from STC. On April 1, 2012, STC was replaced by a
dividend tax of 15%, which is levied on the beneficial owner of the share. As a result of the new dividends tax there is now a
single mining and non-mining tax rate for gold mining companies for the year ended June 30, 2012 onwards.

In 2013 and 2012, the tax rates for taxable, mining and non-mining income for companies were 34% and 28% respectively. In
2011, the tax rates for taxable mining and non-mining income for companies that elected the STC exemption were 43% and 35%
respectively (no STC exemption: 34% and 28% respectively).

The formula for determining the South African gold mining tax rate for both fiscal 2013 and 2012 are:

Y = 34 – 170/X

The formulae for determining the South African gold mining tax rates for fiscal 2011 is:

Y = 43 – 215/X (elect not to pay STC)
Y = 34 – 170/X (elect to pay STC)

Where Y is the percentage rate of tax payable and X is the ratio of taxable income, net of any qualifying capital expenditure that
bears to mining income derived, expressed as a percentage.

7. INCOME TAX (continued)

For deferred tax purposes the group applies the expected average effective tax rate. The average effective tax rates for the
respective operations are based on the group’s current estimate of when temporary differences will reverse. Based on changes in
estimates, the tax rate can be different from year to year. If a one percentage point increase in the average effective tax rate is
applied it would increase the movement in profit or loss by R5.7 million to R59.3 million debit.

Each company is taxed as a separate entity and no tax set-off is allowed between the companies.

All mining capital expenditure is deducted to the extent that it does not result in an assessed loss and depreciation is ignored
when calculating the mining income. Capital expenditure not deducted from mining income is carried forward as unredeemed
capital expenditure to be deducted from future mining income. After the restructuring of the surface operations, effective July 1,
2012, Ergo is treated as one taxpaying operation pursuant to the relevant ring-fencing legislation.

11. INVESTMENT IN SUBSIDIARIES

Part disposal of subsidiary

ErgoGold

During the year ended June 30, 2013, DRDGOLD disposed of its 35% interest in ErgoGold to Ergo Mining Proprietary Limited
(Ergo Mining) as part of the group restructuring on July 1, 2012 for R200.0 million. Through the disposal, the non-controlling
interest obtained an additional 9.1% effective interest in ErgoGold accounted for as a movement in equity.

Disposal of subsidiary

Blyvoor

On February 11, 2012, DRDGOLD, Village and Business Venture Investments No 1557 Proprietary Limited (a wholly owned
subsidiary of Village) (Purchaser) entered into a sale of shares and claims agreement (the Agreement), for the acquisition of
DRDGOLD’s entire interest in and claims against Blyvoor for R1 and 85,714,286 new ordinary shares of Village.

The Agreement consists of two parts. Part A was completed on June 1, 2012 (date of disposal: which is the date control passed to
Village). Part B has certain conditions precedent which can be waived in full by Village. These include the successful conversion
of Blyvoor’s old order mining right to a new order mining right under the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act
(Act No. 28 of 2002), as well as obtaining the consent of the DMR for the sale.

Pending the outcome of Part B conditions precedent, 20,000,000 of the newly issued ordinary shares in Village will be kept in
escrow.

The fair value of the proceeds on disposal has been determined after taking into consideration the market close price of Village on
June 1, 2012, of R1.61 per share.

50%

Chizim Gold (Pvt) Limited - Zimbabwe
During the year ended June 30, 2011 the group acquired a 50% interest in Chizim Gold (Pvt)
Limited (Chizim Gold) for a nominal cash consideration, pursuant to a joint venture
agreement entered into on December 9, 2009. On June 7, 2013, a shareholders agreement was
entered into reducing the group’s shareholding to 49%. On June 30, 2013, Chizim Gold
stopped conducting feasibility studies on certain exploration tenements in Zimbabwe. The
group has a contingent liability as at June 30, 2013, amounting to Rnil (2012: R31.4 million)
in terms of the funding requirements as per the joint venture agreement and capital
commitments amounting to Rnil (2012: R9.3 million).

The group’s policy is to capitalize exploration costs. Chizim Gold was purely in an
exploration phase up until June 30, 2013, therefore the group’s effective share in income and
expenses of the joint venture is Rnil (2012: Rnil).

Unissued shares
In terms of an ordinary resolution passed at the previous annual general meeting, the remaining unissued ordinary shares in the
group are under the control of the directors until the next general meeting.

Cumulative preference shares
The terms of issue of the cumulative preference shares were that they carried the right, in priority to the company's ordinary
shares, to receive a dividend equal to 3% of the gross future revenue generated by the exploitation or the disposal of Argonaut's
mineral rights acquired from Randgold and Exploration Company Limited in September 1997. The Department of Mineral
Resources (DMR) granted DRDGOLD a prospecting right over an area which was going to be too small to mine. When an
application for a greater area was lodged, the DMR stated that the additional area is in an urban location and an application for a
prospecting right cannot be granted. The company is in the process of consulting with the relevant preference shareholder to
cancel these preference shares.

Option instruments
The company currently has one class of options authorized but not issued, namely Durban Deep ‘C’ options. There are
10,000,000 authorized option instruments at year-end which entitle the holder to subscribe for one ordinary share per option
instrument at a subscription price of R15 per ordinary share, which are exercisable at any time during the period from the date on
which the option is issued by the company to a date no later than five years from the date of issue.

16. EQUITY OF THE OWNERS OF THE PARENT (continued)

(a) The foreign exchange translation reserve represents the cumulative translation effect arising on the translation of the financial
statements of the group’s foreign investment in Zimbabwe (refer note 12).

(b) On the acquisition of ErgoGold in the year ending June 30, 2009, an amount of R133.3 million was taken to the asset
revaluation reserve. This amount represented the increase in the fair value of ErgoGold's net assets after the acquisition of the
group's initial interest, which is attributable to that initial interest.

The fair value adjustment on the available-for-sale instruments relating to the investment in Village amounted to R117.2 million
loss (2012: R11.5 million gain and 2011: Rnil). The cumulative fair value adjustment has been reclassified as impairment through
profit or loss amounting to R101.3 million.

The cumulative fair value adjustment on the available-for-sale instruments relating to the investment in Rand Refinery Proprietary
Limited (Rand Refinery) as at June 30, 2013, amounted to R53.2 million (2012: R8.0 million and 2011: R7.7 million).

(c) The company issues equity-settled instruments to certain qualifying employees under an employee share option scheme to
purchase shares in the company’s authorized but unissued ordinary shares. Equity share-based payments are measured at the fair
value of the equity instruments at the date of the grant. Deferred share-based compensation is expensed over the vesting period,
based on the company’s estimate of the shares that are expected to eventually vest. During the year ended June 30, 2013, the
company offered participants to buy-out all vested share options. The buy-out amounted to R24.1 million (2012: Rnil and 2011:
Rnil).

After June 30, 2013, a dividend of 14 cents per qualifying share (R54.0 million) was approved by the directors as a final dividend
for 2013. The company has no STC credits to utilize against the dividends tax. Dividend tax is levied at 15% (2012: 15%) (certain
exemptions apply) and will be withheld from the dividend depending on the classification of the beneficial owner of the relevant
share.

Details of the scheme
The company operates the DRDGOLD Phantom Share Scheme, as an incentive tool for its executive directors and senior
employees whose skills and experience are recognized as being essential to the company's performance. The Phantom Share
Scheme was introduced during the year ended June 30, 2013 and is classified as cash settled. In terms of the Phantom Share
Scheme rules, 50% of the phantom shares granted will be valued based on the group meeting certain pre-determined performance
criteria and the remaining 50% to defined retention periods. The maximum incentive pay-out per annum to any single employee
may not exceed 75% of that employee's gross remuneration package. The participants in the scheme are fully taxed at their
marginal tax rate on any gains realized on the exercise of their phantom shares.

The phantom share granted has a zero base value however, the number of phantom shares granted by the Remuneration
Committee is determined by price in respect of each share which is the subject of the phantom shares, the volume weighted
average price of a share on the JSE for the seven days on which the JSE is open for trading, preceding the day on which the
employee is granted the phantom share. The allocation date will be the date when the directors approve allocation of phantom
shares. Each phantom share remains in force until date of vesting, subject to the terms of the scheme.

On October 31, the group granted 3,019,549 phantom shares to its executive directors and senior employees, to entitle them to a
cash payment after each vesting period stated above. The cash payment is determined based on performance and retention criteria
as set out in this note.

Phantom shares granted are initially measured at fair value on grant date and subsequently on each reporting date. This fair value
is recognized as an employee expense over the vesting period, adjusted to reflect actual levels of vesting, with the corresponding
credit to an employee benefit liability, which is part of non-current and current liabilities.

The fair value of the phantom shares granted is measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model, taking into account the terms
and conditions upon which the phantom shares were granted and management's best estimate of the performance criteria being
met at each reporting date.

Share option scheme

Details of the scheme

The company operated a share option scheme, DRDGOLD (1996) Share Scheme, (the Share option scheme), as an incentive tool
for its executive directors and senior employees whose skills and experience are recognized as being essential to the company’s
performance. In terms of the Scheme rules, a maximum of 40 million of the issued ordinary shares of the company are reserved
for issuance there under and no participant may hold options at any time, which if exercised in full, would exceed 2 million of the
company’s issued share capital at that time.

During the year ended June 30, 2013, the company introduced a new incentive tool called the DRDGOLD Phantom Share
Scheme which will replace the Share option scheme and no new share options will be granted under the replaced scheme. The
company made an offer to buy-out all vested share options during the year ended June 30, 2013, at fair value based on the Black-
Scholes option valuation model amounting to R24.1 million (2012: Rnil).

Options granted under the Share option scheme vest primarily according to the following schedule over a maximum of a three
year period:

entity. If a one percentage point increase in the effective tax rate is applied, the deferred tax liability would amount to R103.6
million compared to the current R97.9 million.

Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of tax losses of R24.1 million (2012: R10.9 million), unredeemed capital
expenditure of R275.6 million (2012: R177.7 million) and capital losses of R260.3 million (2012: R261.2 million).

The deferred tax relating to the company’s investment in subsidiaries, joint venture and associate is Rnil (2012: Rnil) resulting
from the fact that these investments are to be realized through dividend distributions which are exempt under current tax
legislation. As a result there are also no temporary differences.

(a) During June 2012 the group entered into a Domestic Medium Term Note Programme (DMTN Programme) with ABSA

Capital, a division of ABSA Bank Limited, under which DRDGOLD may from time to time issue notes. R165.0 million was
raised during July 2012 and September 2012. The different notes issued mature 12 (R20.0 million), 24 (R69.5 million) and
36 (R75.5 million) months from the date of issue and bear interest at the three month Johannesburg Inter-bank Acceptance
Rate (JIBAR) plus a margin ranging from 4% to 5% per annum. The DMTN Programme is unsecured but does have certain
covenants attached to it regarding acquiring additional indebtedness, significant disposal of assets and in the form of a
guarantor coverage threshold. During the year ended June 30, 2013, the group settled the last unsecured notes issued under
the previous DMTN Programme which had a 24 month term and carried interest at the three month JIBAR plus 5%.

Contingent liabilities

Environmental
At Durban Roodepoort Deep mine, rehabilitation and other responsibilities like the National Nuclear Regulator Certificate of
Registration requirements have been taken over by DRD Proprietary Limited (a subsidiary of Mintails SA Proprietary Limited).
An official liability transfer in terms of section 58 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002, has been
submitted to the DMR. The DRD Village has been sold to a property developer (Dino Properties). The legal transfer of the
liability would be dependent on the DMR’s assessment of Mintail’s financial capability. DRDGOLD therefore still has a
contingent liability until such legal transfer is effected, amounting to R63.4 million less the trust fund amount of R25.6 million.
We are still awaiting formal registration of this transfer.

Mine residue deposits have a potential pollution impact on ground water through seepage, known as acid mine drainage (AMD).
The group has taken certain preventative actions as well as remedial actions in an attempt to minimize the group’s exposure to
environmental contamination.

The flooding of the Western and Central basins has the potential to cause pollution due to AMD contaminating the ground water.
The government has appointed Trans-Caledon Tunnel Authority (TCTA) to construct a partial treatment plant to prevent the
ground water being contaminated. This plant is due to be commissioned by January 2014. They will then consider options for the
long term sustainable solution to treating and reusing this water.

In December 2012, EMO, Ergo and ERPM (collectively referred to as the Ergo Group) entered into heads of agreement with
Trans-Caledon Tunnel Authority (TCTA), aimed at laying a foundation for a self-sustainable solution to acid mine drainage
(AMD) in the Central Witwatersrand Basin. TCTA, acting through directives issued by the Minister of Water and Environmental
Affairs and the Department of Water Affairs, is to construct pumping and treatment facilities to intercept rising AMD, and to
prevent it from reaching the so-called ‘environmental critical level’. In terms of the heads of agreement, the Ergo Group grants
TCTA:

· access to land for the construction of a water treatment plant;
· access to the South West Vertical Shaft of East Rand Proprietary Mines Limited (ERPM) to construct and operate a
pump station to pump AMD to surface;
· the right to construct a sludge pipeline, using servitudes owned by Ergo Group members;
· shared use of an Ergo Group residue pipeline; and
· partial use of the Ergo tailings dams for the deposition of up to 4 167m³ of sludge per day, emanating from the water
treatment plant.

Also in terms of the heads of agreement EMO has an option, at its election, to acquire from TCTA, for its operations, up to 30
mega litres of untreated or partially treated AMD per day. While these heads of agreement should not be seen as an unqualified
endorsement of the State’s AMD solution, and do not affect our right to either challenge future directives or to implement our
own initiatives should it become necessary, they are an encouraging development. In particular if the spirit of cooperation that led
to its conclusion is taken into the implementation and management of the project, this initiative has every chance of success.

DRDGOLD, through its participation in the Western Utilities Corporation initiative, provided the government with a solution for
a sustainable long term solution to AMD. This solution would not have cost the mines or Government anything. In view of the
limitation of current information for the accurate estimation of a potential liability, no reliable estimate can be made for the
possible obligation.

26. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued)

Occupational health - Silicosis
In January 2013 DRDGOLD, ERPM and 23 other mining companies were served with a court application for a class action
issued in the South Gauteng High Court by alleged former mineworkers and dependents of deceased mineworkers. In the pending
application the applicants allege that DRDGOLD, ERPM and other mining companies conducted underground mining operations
in such a negligent manner that the former mineworkers contracted silicosis. The applicants have not yet quantified the amounts
which they would like the mining companies to pay as damages. DRDGOLD and ERPM have instructed Malans Scholes
Attorneys to defend the case. The companies are currently gathering information in preparation for the matter.

Taking into account that the silicosis claim is still at certification stage and should anyone bring similar claims against
DRDGOLD or any of its subsidiaries in future, those claimants would need to provide evidence proving that silicosis was
contracted while in the employment of the company and that it was contracted due to negligence on the company’s part. The link
between the cause (negligence by the company while in its employ) and the effect (the silicosis) will be an essential part of any
case. It is therefore uncertain as to whether the company will incur any costs related to silicosis claims in the future and due to the
limited information available on any claims and potential claims and the uncertainty of the outcome of these claims, no reliable
estimation can be made for the possible obligation.

Dispute with the Ekurhuleni Municipality
The Ekurhuleni Municipality has brought an action against ERPM claiming an amount of R42.0 million in respect of outstanding
rates and taxes which are allegedly owing. As at June 30, 2013, the difference between the invoiced amount and ERPM’s
calculations amounted to R52.8 million. ERPM has employed experts to investigate the allegations and it appears that this claim
is unfounded. ERPM is defending this action and has employed Norton Rose Attorneys to represent it. There are sufficient
defences to repel the claim, therefore the probability of an outflow of resources is not probable.

27. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Overview
The group has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risks, as well as other market risks from its use of financial instruments. This note
presents information about the group’s exposure to each of the above risks, the group’s objectives and policies and processes for
measuring and managing risk. The group’s management of capital is disclosed in note 28. Further quantitative disclosures are
included throughout these consolidated financial statements.

Risk management framework
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the group's risk management framework.
The board has established the Risk Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the group's risk management
policies. The committee reports regularly to the Board of Directors on its activities.

The group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the group, to set appropriate risk
limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to
reflect changes to market conditions and the group's activities. The group, through its training and management standards and
procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and
obligations.

The Audit Committee oversees management’s monitoring of compliance with the group's risk management policies and
procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the group. The Audit
Committee is assisted in its oversight role by the internal audit function. The internal audit function undertakes both regular and
ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations, and arises principally from the group’s receivables from customers and investment securities.

The group's financial instruments do not represent a concentration of credit risk, because the group deals with a variety of major
banks and financial institutions located in South Africa after evaluating the credit ratings of the representative financial
institutions. Furthermore, its trade receivables and loans are regularly monitored and assessed for recoverability. Where
appropriate, an impairment loss is raised.

In addition, the group's operations all deliver their gold to Rand Refinery Proprietary Limited (Rand Refinery), which refines the
gold to saleable purity levels and then sells the gold, on behalf of the South African operations, on the bullion market. The gold is
usually sold by Rand Refinery on the same day as it is delivered and settlement is made within two days.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity risk is the risk that the group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The group’s approach to
managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due,
under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the group’s reputation.

The group ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses, including the servicing of
financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as
natural disasters.

The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged between
knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction.

Fair values

Listed investments
The fair value of listed investments is determined with reference to published price quotations from recognized securities
exchanges and adjusted with a discount factor for any liquidity constraints where appropriate.

Unlisted investments
The valuations are based on the net asset values of these investments and constitute the investments’ fair value as most of the
assets in these investment companies are carried at fair value. The valuations have been compared to recent transactions in the
underlying investments with external parties.

Loans to black empowerment entities
The fair value of these loans cannot be reliably estimated due to the unavailability of market information and are therefore carried
at cost.

Cash and cash equivalents, environmental trust funds and environmental guarantees
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these deposits.
The carrying value of the environmental trust funds and investments for environmental rehabilitation guarantees approximate
their fair value due to these investments being cash in nature.

Trade and other receivables
The fair value approximates the carrying value due to their short-term maturities.

Loans from Domestic Medium Term Note Programme
Fair value is calculated by reference to quoted prices from floating interest instruments.

Trade and other payables
The fair value approximates the carrying value due to their short-term maturities.

MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the
group's income or the value of its holding of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and
control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing returns.

Commodity price sensitivity

The profitability of the group's operations, and the cash flows generated by those operations, are affected by changes in the
market price of gold which is predominantly sold in US Dollar. DRDGOLD does not enter into forward sales, derivatives or other
hedging arrangements to establish a price in advance for the sale of future gold production.

Interest rate risk

Fluctuations in interest rates impact on the value of short-term cash investments and financing activities, giving rise to interest
rate risks. In the ordinary course of business, the group receives cash from its operations and is obliged to fund working capital
and capital expenditure requirements. This cash is managed to ensure surplus funds are invested in a manner to achieve maximum
returns while minimizing risks. Funding deficits for the group's mining operations have been financed through the issue of
additional shares and external borrowings. Lower interest rates result in lower returns on investments and deposits and may also
have the effect of making it less expensive to borrow funds at then current rates. Conversely, higher interest rates result in higher
interest payments on loans and overdrafts.

Foreign currency risk

The group’s reporting currency is the South African Rand. Although gold is sold in US Dollars, the group is obliged to convert
this into South African Rand. The group is thus exposed to fluctuations in the US Dollar/South African Rand exchange rate. The
group conducted its operations in South Africa during the current year. Foreign exchange fluctuations affect the cash flow that it
will realize from its operations as gold is sold in US Dollars, while production costs are incurred primarily in South African
Rands. The group's results are positively affected when the US Dollar strengthens against the Rand and adversely affected when
the US Dollar weakens against the Rand.

The group does not hedge against foreign currency fluctuations and considers the risk to be low due to foreign currency normally
being disposed of on the same day. The group is also exposed to certain by-product commodity price risk. The group's cash and
cash equivalent balances are held in US Dollars and South African Rands; holdings denominated in other currencies are relatively
insignificant.

FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined
as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observed for the asset or liability, either directly
(i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observed market data (unobserved inputs).

The gain or loss on the fair value adjustment is recognized in other comprehensive income net of deferred tax.

The available-for-sale financial assets level 2 comprise investments in listed shares for which an index related factor has been
applied for liquidity of the share. The available-for-sale financial assets level 3 comprises investments in unlisted shares for which
no reasonable alternative measure for fair value is available. Therefore no sensitivity analysis has been prepared. The fair value of
Rand Refinery’s unlisted shares is a director’s valuation, which was made by using the net asset value of the company which has
been compared to recent market transactions with external parties. The Rand Mutual Assurance Company’s fair value is also
based on a director’s valuation of which the value per share is fixed at R0.20 between shareholders.

28. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The primary objective of the board of directors (the board) in managing the group's capital is to ensure that there is sufficient
capital available to support the funding requirements of the group, including capital expenditure, in a way that optimizes the cost
of capital, maximizes shareholders' returns, and ensures that the group remains in a sound financial position. There were no
changes to the group's overall capital management approach during the current year. The group manages and makes adjustments
to the capital structure as opportunities arise in the market place, as and when borrowings mature, or as and when funding is
required. This may take the form of raising equity, market or bank debt or hybrids thereof.

The board monitors the return on capital, which the group defines as net operating income divided by total shareholders' equity,
excluding non-redeemable preference shares and non-controlling interest from continuing operations, and seeks to maintain a
balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security
afforded by a sound capital position. The board decides the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.

The group’s net debt to equity ratio as at June 30, was as follows:

2013 2012

R’000 R’000

Total liabilities

1,022,876

858,368

terms of the DMTN Programme which includes certain covenants.
