                           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

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

The gold price received was substantially unchanged quarter on quarter, with the
rise in the dollar price offset by a stronger Rand. Gold production increased at
most operations, except for the North West Operations where a 14% reduction from
underground feed resulted from the 60-day review process and restructuring
exercise. This exercise has now been completed and some 3 000 employees have
been retrenched at a cost of R39.5 million (US$ 5.4 million). Cash operating
unit costs increased by 3.6% in Rand terms due to the annual wage increase which
was effective from 1 July 2003. A two-year agreement has been signed with all
unions and associations. The average increase for the current year will be 9.2%.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

Our principal focus has been on turning around the North West Operations. This
has been achieved without resort to industrial action and the co-operation of
all parties in the review process has been much appreciated. The result has been
a reduction in wage costs to 44% of the total working costs, and a reduction of
26% in monthly working costs, from R 106 million (US$ 14 million) in July 2003
to R 78 million (US$ 11 million) in October 2003. The new production profile
will be 5% lower. Development and opening up of ore reserves have not been
compromised in the process and the mine's life remains at 15 years as a result.

DRD has a 40% stake in the Crown Gold Recoveries joint venture with Khumo
Bathong Holdings and manages the ERPM mine and Crown surface retreatment
operations on behalf of the joint venture. ERPM's gold production build up
continued with a 34% increase on the previous quarter and the mine reported its
first cash operating profit since its acquisition a year ago. Potential for
open-pit mining is being examined.

Blyvoor recovered some of the lost ground from the previous quarter. Progress on
the No 4 and 5 slimes dam project is on track. The budgeted cost of the project
is R 45 million (US$ 6 million) and will come into production in January 2004 at
a rate of 240 000 tonnes per month. Some 27.2 million tonnes of slime are
available at an average delivered grade of 0.568 grams per tonne. Underground
feed is still being restricted by ore pass constraints, and around 1A sub shaft,
approximately 10 000 tonnes of broken rock is still in circuit. A mid-shaft
loading arrangement is being installed in the shaft to relieve the constraint
and will be operational in December 2003.

At Tolukuma, production was stable, but logistics costs impacted negatively on
costs. Mining of the newly discovered Zine Vein on surface is continuing and
exploration for the underground extention is showing encouraging results. Zine
accounted for an additional 2 000 ounces of the gold this quarter.

FINANCIAL

The cash operating loss of R 21 million (US$ 2.7 million) is due to the loss of
R 41.8 million (US$ 5.6 million) incurred at the North West Operations. All
other operations recorded cash operating profits. The purpose of the North West
Operations restructure is to return the mine to profit and to restore a
meaningful margin to shareholders.

Cash and cash equivalents increased to R 612 million (US$ 86 million) from R 332
million (US$ 44 million), mainly as a result of the capital raising completed
during the quarter. New shares were issued to Investec Bank on 9 September 2003
(18 million shares) and on 12 September 2003 (9 million shares), at an average
price of R 17.86 (US$ 2.40) and R 17.94 (US$ 2.42) respectively, raising a total
of R 483 million (US$ 64 million). The proceeds from the placements are to be
used for the North West Operations restructuring costs and to substantially fund
the purchase price for the 20% stake in the Porgera Joint Venture (see
Acquisition, below), as well as for general working capital requirements.

In addition, during the quarter, cash resources were used to reduce debt by R
118 million (US$ 16 million). As a result of the above activities, the current
ratio has increased to 1.85 (1.09), while shareholders' equity has more than
doubled to R 798 million (US$ 111 million) from R 359 million (US$ 48 million).
Our interest-bearing debt : equity ratio improved to 66% (173%), while our
interest-bearing debt : market capitalization improved to 11% (15%).

ACQUISITION

On 14 October 2003 we announced that an agreement had been reached to acquire
Oil Search Limited's interest in the Porgera Joint Venture in Papua New Guinea
at a cost of US$ 73.8 million. We refer you to the detailed announcement issued
on 14 October 2003 regarding the acquisition. On completion, this will increase
DRD's attributable annual gold production from the Australasian region from
90 000 ounces to 260 000 ounces.

MANAGEMENT

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Andrea Townsend as Group Company
Secretary and Wayne Koonin as Divisional Director Group Finance.

COMPLIANCE

I am pleased to report on a continued improvement in our safety performance. The
lost time injury rate has improved by 10% to 8.63, with the reportable frequency
rate improving by 5% to 3.65 and the fatality injury frequency rate at 0.24, an
improvement of 44%.

In September 2003, the Department of Environment and Conservation and the
Provincial Health Department in Papua New Guinea reported on its water quality
and health investigations at DRD's operations in that country. It was found that
all test results were within compliance limits and that there was no connection
between regional health issues and the operation of the mine. We will continue
to monitor our environment and the roll-out of our local community programmes in
the area.

OUTLOOK

Prospects for the immediate future will depend on the Rand/Dollar exchange rate.
We have closed high-cost capacity at the North West Operations and seeking to
add lower cost production to the portfolio in Papua New Guinea. We continue to
diversify our asset base, and it is expected that a greater proportion of our
earnings and cash flow will be derived from outside South Africa from the next
quarter.

In spite of the cost of restructuring our North West Operations and the job
losses that unfortunately resulted from this, DRD has nevertheless made a
valuable contribution both to the South African economy and the gold market as a
whole. During the last three years we have created more than 6000 jobs on our
South African operations, while our localization programmes in Papua New Guinea
have taken the representation of nationals in the Tolukuma workforce to more
than 95%. While we are still one of the most marginal gold producers in the
industry at the current exchange rate, the recent acquisition of the stake in
the Porgera Joint Venture will provide a sustainable cash flow to support our
value creative strategy. We are confident that the gold price trend will
continue upward, at which point our gearing to gold will become evident.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer                             23 October 2003
