DEALING IN SECURITIES BY A DIRECTOR                                             
In compliance with paragraphs 3.63 to 3.74 of the Listings Requirements of      
JSE Limited ("the Listings Requirements") we hereby advise that Mr Rupert L.    
Pennant-Rea, a director of Gold Fields Limited, has exercised 10 000 Share      
Options which were issued to him in terms of The GF Non-Executive Director      
Share Plan, as amended.                                                         
Share options are offered at a strike price and vest after 12 months with a     
further four years within which the participant can exercise the options        
before the expiry date (total of five years from date of acceptance before      
the options would expire). The value of the options which a participant may     
exercise will be the difference between the Share price at the date of          
exercise and the Strike price on the allocation date.
