ELECTRICITY SUPPLY UPDATE BY DRDGOLD SOUTH AFRICAN OPERATIONS (PTY) LIMITED
("DRDSA")
DRDSA`s Blyvooruitzicht mine has been in a voluntary load shifting arrangement
with Eskom since April 2007. In addition, the Blyvooruitzicht mine agreed to
further load shifting arrangements on Monday 21 January 2008 to shave a further
10% off its daily consumption. As a result, the impact of loadshedding on these
operations has been negligible and shifts are proceeding normally.
One of the surface circuits at the Crown Gold Recoveries` operations is being
affected by daily interruptions of approximately 4 hours each out of a
continuous 24-hour cycle.
At DRDSA`s ERPM mine, voluntary ad hoc load shifting occurs in consultation with
Eskom which, up until the date of this announcement, has had a negligible impact
on operations.
If the situation changes, DRDGOLD will release a further announcement to update
the market.
