Limited, shareholders are advised that Gold Fields Limited has granted on 1     
March 2011 ("the Grant Date"), Share Appreciation Rights ("SARS") and           
Performance Vesting Restricted Shares ("PVRS") to Messrs SM Govender and MMC    
Mutloane directors of GFI Mining South Africa (Pty) Ltd and other major         
subsidiaries of Gold Fields Limited as set out below.  The offers were          
accepted on 30 and 31 May 2011 respectively.                                    
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.
