Mining operations to resume at South Deep on Thursday

Monday, 5 May 2008
Gold Fields Limited (“Gold Fields”) (NYSE, JSE, DIFX: GFI) reports today that normal mining operations will only resume in mining areas at 95 level and above at the South Deep Gold Mine near Westonaria on Thursday morning, May 8, 2008 after a Day of Mourning and a Memorial Service which is to be held at the Twin Shaft Complex on Wednesday, May 7.

At a meeting at the Department of Minerals and Energy (DME) in Johannesburg today with mine management and trade unions, the Chief Inspector of Mines agreed that the conditions of a Section 54 order had been met and the mine could now recommence mining operations.

Underground working at South Deep had been suspended, except for essential services for emergency purposes, since 17h40 on May 1 when the Section 54 was issued following the shaft accident that tragically claimed nine lives.

The Section 54 required that all winding operations at South Deep, Kloof and Driefontein Gold Mines be suspended pending assessment of the integrity of the winding ropes. This order was fully complied with, and subsequent to the issue thereof, only essential services for emergency purposes were conducted at South Deep.

Normal winding operations have resumed at Kloof and Driefontein Gold Mines.

Gold Fields is committed to assisting the DME in its investigation into the accident at South Deep on May 1, 2008.
