In compliance with paragraphs 3.63 - 3.74 of the Listings Requirements of JSE   
Limited, shareholders are advised that Gold Fields Limited has granted on 1

Performance Vesting Restricted Shares ("PVRS") to the directors of major        
subsidiaries of Gold Fields Limited as set out below.  These offers were        
accepted between 29 and 31 March 2011.                                          
SARS are allocated at the volume weighted average price of Gold Fields shares   
over the 20 trading days preceding the Grant Date. SARS vest after three years  
and participants have a further three years in which to exercise the SARS. The  
value of the SARS which a participant may exercise will be the difference       
between the Fair Market Value at date of exercise and the Fair Market Value on  
the allocation date.  The Company at its sole discretion can decide to settle   
the SARS by issuing shares of the equivalent value or in cash.                  
PVRS are conditionally awarded with the final number settled after three years  
dependent on the performance criteria set being met.  The number of shares to be
settled will range from 0% to 300% of the conditional award.  The determined    
number of PVRS will be settled to the participant in shares or in cash at the   
Company`s discretion.
