The general authority in terms of this resolution shall extend up to and including the date of the next AGM of the company or 15 (fifteen) months from the date on which this resolution is passed, whichever is the earlier date; 2. The company and its subsidiaries are enabled by their memorandum of incorporation to acquire Shares; 3. The repurchase by the company of Shares in issue shall not exceed, in aggregate, 20% (twenty percent) of the relevant class of the company’s issued share capital, at the beginning of the financial year, in any one financial year; 4. Acquisitions by the company or its subsidiaries shall not be made at a price greater than 10% (ten percent) above the weighted average of the market value of Shares on the exchange operated by the JSE Limited ("JSE") for the 5 (five) business days immediately preceding the date on which the acquisition is effected; 5. Acquisitions by the subsidiaries of the company may not result in a subsidiary, together with all other subsidiaries of the company, holding more than 10% (ten percent) of the relevant class of the entire issued share capital of the company from time to time; 6. Acquisitions of Shares may not take place during a prohibited period, as defined in the JSE Listings Requirements, unless a repurchase programme, in compliance with paragraph 5.72(h) of the JSE Listings Requirements, in terms of which an independent third party, which makes its investment decisions in relation to the company’s securities independently of, and uninfluenced by the company, executes the repurchase programme, is in place where the dates and quantities of Shares to be traded during the relevant period are fixed and has been submitted to the JSE in writing prior to the commencement of the prohibited period; 7. As soon as the company and/or its subsidiary/ies has/have cumulatively repurchased 3% (three percent) of the number of the relevant class of Shares in issue as at the time that the general authority is granted, and for each 3% (three percent) in aggregate of the initial number of that class acquired thereafter, a SENS announcement containing the required details of such acquisitions will be published in compliance with the JSE Listings Requirements; 8. Such acquisitions will be effected through the order book operated by the trading system of the JSE and done without prior understanding or arrangement between the company and the counterparty (reported trades being prohibited); 9. The company shall only be entitled, at any point in time, to appoint one agent to effect any acquisition on its behalf pursuant to this resolution; 10. Any such general acquisitions are subject to the exchange control regulations and approvals applicable at that point in time; 11. Prior to any acquisition, a resolution is passed by the Board authorising the acquisition, and stating that the group has passed the solvency and liquidity test (as contemplated in section 4 of the Act) and that, since that test was performed, there have been no material changes to the financial position of the group; and 12. After having considered the effect of repurchases of up to 20% (twenty percent) of Shares pursuant to this general authority (assuming it were to take place), the directors are, in terms of the Act and the JSE Listings Requirements, of the opinion that for a period of 12 (twelve) months after the date of this Notice: 12.1 the company and the group would be able to repay their debts in the ordinary course of business; 12.2 the assets of the company and the group, fairly valued, will be in excess of the liabilities of the company and the group. For this purpose, the assets and liabilities are recognised and measured in accordance with the accounting policies used in the latest audited group AFS; 12.3 the company and the group will have adequate share capital and reserves for ordinary business purposes; 12.4 the working capital of the company and the group will be adequate for ordinary business purposes; and 12.5 a resolution by the Board that it has authorised the repurchase, that the company and its subsidiaries have passed the solvency and liquidity test and that, since that test was performed, there have been no material changes to the financial position of the group.” Explanation The reason for, and effect of, Special Resolution Number 1 is to enable the directors to approve the acquisition by the group of Shares in the company, subject to the limitations set out in the resolution. The directors are of the opinion that opportunities to acquire the Shares, which could enhance the earnings per share and/or net asset value per share, may present themselves in the future. Accordingly, in order for the group to be placed in a position to be able to utilise the provisions of the Act, and the JSE Listings Requirements, it is proposed that the directors be authorised by way of general authority, to acquire up to the maximum number of its Shares permitted by the JSE Listings Requirements.

1 BASIS OF PREPARATION The summary consolidated annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Listings Requirements and the requirements of the ActCompa. The JSE Listings Requirements require summary consolidated annual financial statements to be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards Accounting Standards (“Accounting Standards”) and the South African financial reporting requirements defined as the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and the Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, at a minimum, contain the information required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated annual financial statements, from which the summary consolidated annual financial statements were derived, are in terms of the Accounting Standards and are consistent with those applied in the previous consolidated annual financial statements. The summary consolidated annual financial statements have not been audited or reviewed and are extracted from the complete set of consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025, which have been audited by the company’s auditor, BDO South Africa Inc. The complete set of the annual financial statements has been prepared under the supervision of the group’s Chief Financial Officer, Mr Riaan Davel, CA(SA). The audited consolidated financial statements and the unqualified audit report on the consolidated financial statements can be obtained from the company on written request from the Company's company secretary, Kgomotso Mbanyele (kgomotso.mbanyele@drdgold.com) or are available from the Company's website at https://www.drdgold.com/ investors/reports-and-results. Shareholders are therefore advised that in order to obtain a full understanding of the financial results and the financial position of the group, as well as the nature of the auditor’s work thereon, they should obtain a copy of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025. The directors are responsible for the preparation of the summary consolidated annual financial statements and for accurately extracting the information from the underlying audited consolidated financial statements. 2 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT The group's property, plant and equipment increased from R6,794.9 million at 30 June 2024 to R8,542.2 million at 30 June 2025 as the group progresses with its capital expansion programme at Ergo Mining Proprietary Limited ("Ergo") and at Far West Gold Recoveries Proprietary Limited ("FWGR"). 3 DEFERRED TAX The group's deferred tax liability increased from R958.0 million at 30 June 2024 to R1,781.8 million at 30 June 2025 mainly due to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment that has been claimed as accelerated capital deductions for income tax.

4 EARNINGS PER SHARE Amounts in R million 2025 2024 Basic earnings The calculations of basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share are based on the following: Profit for the year 2,242.7 1,328.7 Headline earnings The basic earnings has been adjusted by the following to arrive at headline earnings: 3.7 (1.5) Loss / (gain) on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net of tax 3.7 (0.6) Income from insurance claim, net of tax — (0.9) Headline earnings 2,246.4 1,327.2 Reconciliation of weighted average number of ordinary shares to diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares Number of shares 2025 2024 Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue adjusted for treasury shares 862,142,826 861,240,788 Effect of equity-settled share-based payment 4,210,349 4,306,645 Dilutive weighted average number of ordinary shares adjusted for treasury shares 866,353,175 865,547,433 SA cents per share 2025 2024 Basic earnings per share 260.1 154.3 Diluted basic earnings per share 258.9 153.5 Headline earnings per share 260.6 154.1 Diluted headline earnings per share 259.3 153.3 5 PROVISION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REHABILITATION Amounts in R million 2025 2024 Balance at the beginning of the year 616.8 562.1 Unwinding of provision for environmental rehabilitation 58.6 56.3 Change in estimate of environmental rehabilitation recognised in profit or loss (a) (98.0) (11.6) Change in estimate of environmental rehabilitation recognised to property, plant and equipment (b) 7.4 34.7 Environmental rehabilitation payments (c) (26.1) (24.7) To reduce decommissioning liabilities (26.1) (23.4) To reduce restoration liabilities — (1.3) Balance at the end of the year 558.7 616.8 (a) Change in estimate of environmental rehabilitation recognised in profit or loss The decrease is mainly as a result of Crown Complex being classified as a Mineral Reserve and now included in the Life of Mine, resulting in a change in its rehabilitation methodology, from in situ to red earth footprint. (b) Change in estimate of environmental rehabilitation recognised to property, plant and equipment Included in property, plant and equipment are inflationary increases in rehabilitation costs and the expansion of FWGR infrastructure. (c) Environmental rehabilitation payments 40ha of the Brakpan TSF and 4.4ha of the Driefontein 4 TSF were vegetated during the year.

6 INVESTMENT IN RAND REFINERY (PTY) LTD ("RAND REFINERY") The fair value of DRDGOLD’s 11.3% interest in Rand Refinery at 30 June 2025 is estimated at R302.0 million (30 June 2024: R166.8 million). In accordance with IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, the income approach has been established to be the most appropriate basis to estimate the fair value of the investment in Rand Refinery. This method relies on the future budgeted cash flows as estimated by Rand Refinery. Management used a model developed by an external expert to perform the valuation. Rand Refinery’s refining operations (excluding Prestige Bullion) were valued using the Free Cash Flow model, whereby an enterprise value using a Gordon Growth formula for the terminal value was estimated. Due to the low demand for Krugerrands, Prestige Bullion does not forecast paying a dividend in the short term; therefore, the valuation method has changed from the dividend discount model to a discounted cash flow model. The forecasted cash flows from Prestige Bullion were valued using a finite life, as Rand Refinery’s shareholding will be reduced to nil in 2032, per an agreement with the South African Mint (partner in Prestige Bullion). The fair value of Rand Refinery increased as a result of an increase in the enterprise value of the refining operations and a decrease in the value of Prestige Bullion. The enterprise value of the refining operations of Rand Refinery increased as a result of higher throughput and a significant increase in forecast commodity prices. The fair value of Prestige Bullion decreased significantly as a result of a continued low demand for Krugerrands and resultant lower expected cash flows. The fair value measurement uses significant unobservable inputs and relates to a fair value hierarchy level 3 financial instrument. 2025 R million 2024 R million Reconciliation of investment in Rand Refinery Balance at the beginning of the year 166.8 156.3 Fair value adjustment on equity instruments at fair value through OCI 135.2 10.5 Balance at the end of the year 302.0 166.8 Dividends received 56.3 29.3 Key observable/unobservable inputs into the model include: Observable/unobservable input Unit 2025 Rand Refinery operations Forecast average gold price Observable input R/kg 1,620,480 Forecast average silver price Observable input R/kg 18,598 Average South African CPI Observable input % 4.5 Terminal growth rate Unobservable input % 4.5 South African long term government bond rate Observable input % 9.7 Weighted average cost of capital Unobservable input % 16.0 Investment in Prestige Bullion Discount period Unobservable input years 8 Weighted average cost of capital Unobservable input % 18.0 Marketability and minority discounts (both unobservable inputs) of 15.3% and 16.9% were applied respectively. The latest budgeted cash flow forecasts provided by Rand Refinery as at 30 June 2025 were used, and therefore classified as an unobservable input into the models. SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS The fair value measurement is most sensitive to the weighted average cost of capital, Rand US Dollar exchange rate and the gold price. The higher the gold price, the higher the fair value of the Rand Refinery investment. The higher the operating costs, the lower the fair value of the Rand Refinery investment. The fair value measurement is also sensitive to the operating costs, minority and marketability discounts applied.

Ergo owns 50.25% of the shares in Stellar and has extended funding to develop the project to financial close. Following a strategic review, the Board has decided to sell Ergo's share in Stellar to focus on the group's core mining activities. There is an ongoing active sale process, expected to be concluded during FY2026. Subsequent to year-end, Ergo has converted its short-term credit facility to Stellar into equity, which increased its shareholding in Stellar to 89.94%, as of 18 August 2025. Amounts in R million 2025 2024 Current assets held for sale comprise of: Property plant and equipment 48.4 — Capital prepayments 56.9 — Trade and other receivables 15.4 — Cash and cash equivalents 0.1 — 120.8 — Current liabilities held for sale comprise of: Trade and other payables 8.5 — Loan payable to minority shareholders 1.4 — 9.9 — Cash outflows attributable to subsidiary held for sale: Net cash outflow from operating activities 5.6 — Net cash outflow from investing activities 105.3 — Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents 110.9 — Loss from subsidiary held for sale (2.1) — 8 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK COMMODITY PRICE SENSITIVITY The group’s profitability and cash flows are primarily affected by changes in the market price of gold, which is sold in US Dollars and then converted to Rand. In line with our long-term strategy of being an unhedged gold producer, we generally do not enter into forward gold sales contracts to reduce our exposure to market fluctuations in the US Dollar gold price or the exchange rate movements. However, during periods when medium-term debt is incurred to fund growth projects and hence introduce liquidity risk to the group, we may mitigate this liquidity risk by entering into facilities to achieve price protection. The group has facilities in place, but no contracts were entered into during the current reporting period. NOTES TO THE SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025 DRDGOLD Notice of Annual General Meeting 2025 19

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT The group monitors available cash and cash equivalent balance and facilities to ensure there is sufficient capital for forecasted expenditures, including capital requirements. DRDGOLD ended the current reporting period with cash and cash equivalents of R1,306.2 million (30 June 2024: R521.5 million). The group remains free of bank debt as at 30 June 2025 (30 June 2024: Rnil). Liquidity is further enhanced by sustained high Rand gold price levels. To fund the significant capital expansion programme at both operations, DRDGOLD secured a R500 million general banking facility ("GBF") with Nedbank Limited (acting through its Corporate and Investment Banking division). The GBF facility was amended to include a R181 million guarantee facility, which has been fully utilised. The GBF facility of R500 million remained undrawn at 30 June 2025. In addition to the GBF, DRDGOLD entered into a 5-year R1 billion revolving credit facility ("RCF") with a R500 million accordion option with Nedbank. The RCF remains undrawn as at 30 June 2025. 9 FAIR VALUES The group’s assets that are measured at fair value at the reporting date consist of equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income and are included in other investments on the statement of financial position. Of this line item, R11.2 million (30 June 2024: R7.5 million) relates to fair value hierarchy level 1 instruments. This balance increased as a result of an increase in the share price of West Wits Mining Limited. R311.3 million (30 June 2024: R172.9 million) relates to fair value hierarchy level 3 instruments, mainly the investment in Rand Refinery, as referred to in note 6. 10 OPERATING SEGMENTS The Group has one material revenue stream, the sale of gold to South African Bullion banks. The following summary describes the operations in the Group’s reportable operating segments: Ergo is a surface gold retreatment operation which treats old slime dams and sand dumps to the south of Johannesburg’s central business district, as well as the East and Central Rand goldfields. The operation comprises three plants and a solar plant with battery energy storage system. The Ergo plant operates as a metallurgical plant and the City Deep and Knights plants as pump/milling stations feeding the Ergo plant. FWGR is a surface gold retreatment operation which treats old slime dams in the West Rand goldfields. The operation comprises the Driefontein 2 plant and the relevant infrastructure to process tailings from the Driefontein 5 and 3 slimes dam and deposit residues on the Driefontein 4 Tailings Storage Facility. Corporate office and other reconciling items (collectively referred to as "Other reconciling items") represent the items to reconcile to the consolidated financial statements. This does not represent a separate segment as it does not generate mining revenue.

INTRODUCTION In terms of regulation 43(5)(c) of the Companies Regulations, 2011, promulgated under the Act, the Social and Ethics Committee must report to shareholders at the company’s AGM on the matters within its mandate. This report should be considered within the context of the company’s Integrated Report and King IV. ETHICS Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code") was the subject of consultation with management. Each employee receives and signs for a copy of the Code when he or she becomes an employee of the group. The Code is included in the induction video, which all employees are required to watch annually. The Company encourages suppliers doing business with DRDGOLD to adopt the Code. The Board assumes ultimate responsibility for the group’s ethical performance and holds management accountable for implementing our Code. The Code was revised during the reporting period to encompass a range of ethical considerations and is available on the DRDGOLD website at: www.drdgold.com/about-us/governance. Included in the Code are the following provisions: • The Code is based on DRDGOLD’s values of unity, integrity, commitment and accountability. • DRDGOLD’s business conduct is guided by the fundamental principles of fairness and integrity, accessible management culture and responsible behaviour in relation to society and the environment. • Directors, officers and employees must comply with all laws and regulations that are applicable to their activities on behalf of the group. • DRDGOLD acknowledges that all employees have a right to work in a safe and healthy environment. All employees are entitled to fair employment practices and have a right to a working environment free from discrimination and harassment. • The group recognises that DRDGOLD and its people have a responsibility to contribute to local communities. Employees are encouraged to participate in, among others, religious, charitable, educational and civic activities, provided that such participation does not make undue demands on their work time or create a conflict of interest. • The group expects employees to perform their duties in the best interest of the group and not to use their position, or knowledge gained through their employment with the group, for their private or personal advantage. • Employees may not take up outside employment without prior approval of the CEO or hold outside directorships without prior approval of the Board.
