In brief

What this company does

DRDGOLD holds assets in South Africa engaged in surface gold tailings retreatment, including exploration, extraction, processing and smelting. The gold bars it produces consist of approximately 85% gold and 7-8% silver, with the remaining balance comprising copper and other elements, and are sent to Rand Refinery for assaying and final refining, where the gold is purified to 99.9% and cast into troy ounce bars of varying weights. Its surface tailings retreatment operations, including related infrastructure and metallurgical processing plants, are located in South Africa, within the city boundaries of Johannesburg and its suburbs and the far west rand of the province of Gauteng. DRDGOLD has arranged its operations into two wholly owned entities: Ergo, which runs its East Rand operations, and FWGR, which runs its West Rand operations. Its total revenue for fiscal year 2025 amounted to R7,878.2 million, all of which was generated from its operations in South Africa. It owns 11.3% of Rand Refinery.

Every figure from documents filed with the SEC · ZAR

EPS, diluted, dividend per share and shares outstanding are shown without shading, and a vertical line marks the year the share count changed — the series crosses a large, unexplained change in share count, so the years on either side are not on a comparable scale.
