FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS                                                      
Some of the information in this voluntary announcement, contain projections or  
other forward looking statements regarding future events or other future        
performance.  We wish to caution you that these statements are only projections 
and those actual events or results may differ materially due to such risks as   
difficulties in being a marginal producer of gold, changes and reliability of   
ore reserve estimates, gold price volatility, currency fluctuations and mining  
risks.  We undertake no obligation to publicly release results of any of these  
forward looking statements, which may be made to reflect events or circumstances
after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unexpected results.       
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS                                                          
Dear shareholder                                                                
While the US Dollar gold price remained constant during the quarter, the South  
African Rand strengthened by 7%, to an average R7.73 to the US Dollar, leading  
to a corresponding 8% drop in the Rand gold price received.  Consequently,      
revenue of slightly more than R42 million was forsaken. Gold production from    
operations was virtually unchanged, the slight fall recorded arising from poorer
surface grades.  Cash costs in absolute terms were reduced by R12.2 million and 
in unit terms by 1.2%, but the strength of the Rand took the cost per ounce in  
US Dollar terms to US$352 per ounce, which is above the current gold price.     
This situation is unacceptable and, as a result, we have issued a 60-day notice 
- as required under the Labour Relations Act - to all unions and associations   
representing the 13 000 employees, including contractors, at our North West     
Operations (Hartebeestfontein and Buffelsfontein mines) that the future of these
operations is under review.                                                     
Overall Performance                                                             
Production at Blyvooruitzicht was affected by a blocked ore pass in the 1A Sub  
Shaft and poorer grades from the operation"s surface sources.  While            
approximately 20 000 tonnes of ore are locked up underground due to the ore pass
problem, it is expected that the contained gold will be recovered this quarter. 
Lower surface grades are likely to continue to December 2003, at which time feed
from the higher grade Slimes Dam Project will replace current sources.          
Our North West Operations have been the subject of considerable management      
attention over the past three months.  Measures taken have included:  a synergy 
exercise with Blyvoor in respect of sharing services; a reduction in overhead; a
re-evaluation of the plant configuration; the removal of some 3 000 contract    
workers; a renewed focus on grade control; and opening up new blocks of ground. 
However, surface sources have been rendered uneconomical by the current Rand    
gold price and plans to upgrade the South Shaft plant to treat all feedstock    
have been shelved, pending the outcome of the 60-day review referred to above.  
Tolukuma has now established itself as a consistent gold producer, with ore     
production now derived from at least six vein sources.  Grades continue to      
improve due to mining of the high grade Tinnabar vein (100 000 ounces in        
reserves and resources) and the discovery of the Zine vein on surface.  The     
latter, as well as the Miliahamba Deeps, will be drilled for strike extension   
this quarter.  Recent studies, including those conducted by government agencies,
have established that the mine meets and exceeds all government compliance      
requirements.  A number of community programmes have also been initiated.       
DRD has a 40% stake in the Crown Gold Recoveries JV with Khumo Bathong Holdings 
(Pty) Ltd and manages the ERPM mine and Crown surface retreatment operation on  
behalf of the JV. ERPM has recovered from the fire in February 2003 and the     
production build-up is on track.  Crown has secured funding of US$22 million    
(R170 million) from the Industrial Development Corporation, which will be       
applied to reducing ERPM"s pumping costs and retreating the Cason Dump.  The    
latter is expected to yield 30 000 ounces of gold production annually over 7    
years.                                                                          
Group capital expenditure for the quarter was a record US$5.2 million (R40.6    
million) excluding recoupments, but all capex programmes are now under review   
due to the low Rand gold price.                                                 
Ore Reserves                                                                    
At the year end, DRD had audited proven and probable ore reserves of 129.4      
million tonnes at an average grade of 3.81 grams per tonne, containing 15.8     
million ounces of gold.  The life of our North West Operations is 16 years and  
of Blyvoor, 21 years.  Work on the Argonaut project involved expenditure of R0.3
million in the quarter but spending on this programme has been curtailed in view
of the Rand"s strength.                                                         
Financial                                                                       
Earnings for the quarter decreased from US$3.2 million the previous quarter to  
US$0.7 million.  The net operating loss was US$12.2 million after allowing for  
increased depreciation and a US$12.5 million write down on assets and           
investments. Shareholders" equity increased to US$53.2 million.  Cash and       
equivalents stood at US$45.7 million, largely representing the unexpended       
balance of the convertible note proceeds.                                       
Shareholder Value Recovery Programme                                            
The company is pursuing litigation against various parties, including certain   
former directors and officers, for recovery of lost shareholder value.  During  
the quarter, we successfully overturned an ex-parte Anton Pillar order against  
the company and our claim for our lost Continental Goldfields investment was    
upheld in the West Australian Courts.  Meanwhile, we have completed our actions 
with the issue of our claims for loss from the defunct Rawas mine in Indonesia. 
Our total programme now covers claims of approximately US$22 million (R160      
million) relative to, but not comparable with, the                              
US$80 million (R590 million) written off in the 2000 financial year.            
Outlook                                                                         
The immediate future will depend on the trend in the Rand/Dollar exchange rate, 
with the Rand having been exceptionally strong over the past six months and the 
outcome of the review of the North West Operations.  While I know that          
management will do its utmost to preserve an economic future for these assets,  
equally DRD will not permit persistent losses at any of its operations.         
On a positive note, we are pleased to report that the company will be included  
as a constituent of the Philadelphia Gold and Silver Index with effect from 18  
August 2003.                                                                    
Building on our success at Tolukuma, we are engaged in a number of initiatives  
to implement our Australasian growth strategy.
