(“DRDGOLD” or the “Company”)
| STRIKE ACTION AT DRDGOLD’S ERGO OPERATIONS SUSPENDED | ||
DRDGOLD shareholders (“Shareholders”) are referred to the announcement published on SENS on Wednesday, 17 December 2025 (“Announcement”) wherein Shareholders were advised that the Company had received 48 hours’ notice from the National Union of Mineworkers (“NUM”) and the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (“AMCU”) indicating their members’ intention to embark on protected strike action from Thursday, 18 December 2025 (“Notice”), at the Company’s Ergo Mining (Proprietary) Limited (“ERGO”) operations.
Shareholders are hereby advised that following the issuance of the Notice, the NUM and AMCU notified the Company late in the day yesterday, 17 December 2025, that the intended strike action has, at this stage, been suspended. The strike had been scheduled to start with the morning shift today, 18 December 2025.
The dispute relating to wages and profit share remains unresolved.
As communicated in the Announcement, the United Association of South Africa accepted and signed the wage agreement on behalf of its members on Friday, 12 December 2025.
DRDGOLD reiterates that its offer is fair, competitive and sustainable. The offer delivers meaningful improvements to employee remuneration, is well above current inflation, aligned with recent wage agreements concluded in the gold sector, and preserves the Company’s ability to reinvest in the long-term sustainability of the ERGO operations.
The Company remains open to further engagement and encourages a resolution that avoids unnecessary financial harm to employees and disruption to operations.
As at the date of this announcement, operations at ERGO continue uninterrupted.
